5.
Remove the pizza from its packaging, including the cardboard disk. If necessary, place the pizza on an
ovenproof cookware or bakeware.
NOTE
: The pizza oven can accommodate pizzas up to 12 inches in diameter. Ensure proper fitment when using
an ovenproof cookware or bakeware. DO NOT cover any part of the pizza oven with metal foil, including the
crumb tray; oversized pizzas or metal utensils must not be inserted into the oven.
6.
After preheating, pull the baking rack partially out of the pizza oven and carefully place the pizza onto the
wire rack. Use caution as the baking rack and oven exterior will be hot. Guide the baking rack back into the
oven using its handle.
7.
Refer to the “Pizza Cooking Chart” on p. 12 for approximate cooking times. If applicable, use the directions
included with the pizza in conjunction with the below chart. Set the timer for the halfway point of the
suggested cooking time for the type of pizza listed. For instance, if the below chart indicates to cook for
18 to 24 minutes, set the timer to 9 minutes. When the time expires, use the handle to carefully pull the
baking rack partially out of the oven. Rotate the pizza using a spatula, fork or tongs. Then carefully guide
the baking rack back into the oven and set the timer for the remaining time.
NOTE
: At the end of the baking time, select TOP (
) on the heating element control knob for well-done
cheese and toppings. For a crispier crust, select BOTTOM (
) on the heating element control knob.
8.
When the timer goes off, check to see if the pizza is cooked thoroughly. If additional baking time is needed,
simply reset the timer to the desired time.
NOTE
: All pizzas will cook differently; bake until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
9.
When the pizza appears to be done, turn the timer to OFF/0 if the timer has not already expired.
10. Carefully pull the baking rack out of the oven using its handle, and then slide the pizza onto a pizza pan. Set
the hot baking rack onto a heat resistant surface.
11. Allow the pizza to cool for approximately 3 to 5 minutes and then cut into serving pieces.
12. Allow the pizza oven to cool down completely before cleaning and storing.
HELPFUL TIPS
1.
To reheat pizza slices, allow the pizza oven to preheat for approximately 3 minutes with the heating
element control knob set to DUAL (
).
2.
After preheating, turn the heating element control knob to TOP (
) and place the pizza slices onto the
center of the baking rack. Set the timer for 6 to 12 minutes.
3.
Use the shorter of the two cooking times when reheating thin crust or single topping pizza, and the longer
cooking time when reheating thicker crusts or multiple toppings.
4.
For best results, check the pizza after 6 minutes.
PIZZA COOKING CHART
The following cooking times are for baking 12-inch pizzas. The times are approximate. Use the shorter cooking
times for single topping pizzas and the longer cooking times for pizzas with extra toppings or vegetable toppings.
When the cheese has melted and begins bubbling, the pizza is done.
At the end of the cooking time, turn the heating element control knob to BOTTOM (
) for a crispier crust.
For well-done toppings, turn the control knob to TOP (
). Next, reset the timer by turning it beyond the 10
minute marker and then counterclockwise to 1 or 2 minutes. Cook the pizza as desired. To avoid overcooking the
pizza, DO NOT leave the oven unattended.
