OPERATION
PRESSING DOUGH
Your pizza dough press is designed for easy use and operation to reliably press
dough balls. Thickness, shape, and size are directly related to your dough ball, its
shape, the temperature of the dough, the recipe of your dough, type of lubricating
food oil, as well as the settings of your machine. You should experiment with the
following for the results you want.
1. Move on/off switch to “on”. Power light should come on.
*Up is “ON” and down is “OFF”
2. Turn heat control knob to your desired temperature. When par baking room
temperature pizza dough, a temperature range of 275°-325°F is recommended.
When pressing either corn or flour tortillas, start at 325°F and raise or lower
the temperature until the desired results are achieved.
While machine is heating, the heat light will remain on until it has reached the
set temperature. The heat light will cycle on and off in order to maintain the
desired temperature.
WARNING:
Never attempt to press frozen dough. Personal injury and damage
to your machine could result!
3. With the press in the open position, adjust the press to the
desired thickness by turning the thickness control knob located
at the top/rear of the machine. Thickness is reduced by turning
knob
clockwise
and increased by turning it
counterclockwise
as indicated.
Thickness setting should be set so that the heat head will lock down firmly with
your product in place.
NOTE:
Adjustments may be required from one product to another and will
vary to achieve the desired result.
CAUTION: Excessive pressure can cause structural damage, voiding
the machine warranty!
WARNING:
Make all adjustments while press is open. Adjusting the thickness
while under pressure will result in damage to the press.
4. Lightly lubricate the lower platen with olive oil, food/cooking oil or other food
release lubricant when pressing pizza dough. Place corn tortilla dough balls
between sheets of parchment paper to prevent sticking.
5. Place your preformed dough ball on the lower platen.
• Par Baking Pizza:
Add a small amount of your food lubricant to the top of
the dough ball.
Do not add flour or dust with flour.
• Flour Tortillas:
Dough should be oiled sufficiently in storage trays.
• Corn Tortillas:
Place dough balls between sheets of parchment.
6. Pull down the handle all the way, applying pressure, until it stops.
