BEFORE FIRST USE
While preparing the pizza maker according to the following instructions, it may give off a slight
burning smells. The pizza maker is currently burning off excess of lubricants found on the units
heating elements and will not occur any more.
NOTE : This does not effect the safety of your pizza maker.
- Remove all packing material,
- Take everything out of the pizza maker,
- Be sure to keep the unit unplugged,
- Clean the pizza pan with warm soapy water,
- Wipe the inner walls of the pizza maker with a damp cloth or sponge,
- Do not immerse in water.
HOW TO OPERATE
Cook more than just pizzas with your pizza maker. Use as a portable oven for meat, tart and much
more.
Note : you do not need preheat the unit.
- You can also cook your tarts in your own pie plate of 28 cm of diameter and 2,5 cm heigth max that
you will place on the pan if you want to make pies or tarts with liquid food such as eggs, milk or
cream. This will prevent food from leaking onto the lower heating element and from burning. The
difference is that you will cook a little more than directly on the pizza pan.
- Place the pizza maker on a flat heat resistant surface,
- Be sure the timer and the heat dial are in the OFF position,
- Lightly coat the pizza pan with a small amount of vegetable oil, especially when making an home-
made pizza or tart.
- If using a pre-packaged pizza be sure to remove all pizza packing before cooking, including the
cardboard disc. Do not place aluminium foil or any other coverings on the pizza while cooking.
This could cause a fire.
- Centre your pizza on the pizza pan or make your pizza directly on the pizza pan.
- Open the lid. Place the pizza pan over the centre of the drive shaft.
- Close the lid and plug the unit in.
- Set the heating dial to the desired setting (upper, lower, dual). Note : when using a frozen-rising
crust, use lower heating element for a few minutes and then switch it to the dual setting.
- Turn the timer clockwise to the desired time. Since every pizza is different, there is no exact scien-
ce to know how long it will take to cook. (a pizza can take anywhere between 5-25 minutes to cook
depending on the kind of pizza it is). The pizza maker will cook your pizza quickly, so always check
after about 5 minutes. Continue cooking to your desired taste. NOTE : If setting the timer for less
than 5 minutes, turn past the 5 minutes mark, and then return to the desired setting.
- When the timer sounds, if you want to melt or brown more, set the upper heating element for an
additional 1-2 minutes. If you want the crust to be crisper, set the lower heating element for an
additional 1-2 minutes.
- When the cooking time is completed, turn all the controls to the OFF position, unplug the unit, and
lift the lid.
- Carefully lift the edge of the pizza pan with a spatula and grip with an oven mitt to remove the pan.
- Carefully place the pizza onto a cutting surface that is heat resistant. Never cut the pizza on the
pizza pan. This will damage the pan.
