5. The indicator lamp (6) will come on to show the heating elements are working.
6. When the 10 minutes are up, your oven is ready for use.
7. Follow instructions below for cooking fresh or frozen pizzas below:
4. COOKING FRESH PIZZAS
NOTE: MAKE SURE INDICATOR LAMP (6) IS ON BEFORE PLACING ANY PIZZA IN OVEN.
1. Stretch dough to desired size. DO NOT exceed 11 ¾" in diameter. Add sauce and
toppings to suit preferences. DO NOT put excess sauce or toppings on pizza as this will
spill onto cooking stone, and may result in burning, smoke and sticking of the pizza to
cooking stone.
2. Using the included 2-piece wooden pizza peels or other suitable tool carefully insert
under prepared pizza by wiggling from side-to-side until the pizza is fully supported.
Open pizza oven lid and then gently lift prepared pizza and place on cooking stone in
center.
3. If pizza sticks to peels, slowly incline peels away from cooking stone until pizza slides off
onto the cooking stone. A light dusting of flour on peels prior to inserting under pizza
may help reduce sticking.
4. Set the Temperature knob to the desired setting and turn the timer to the desired cooking
time. SUGGESTION: Temperature set at "2 ½ - 3", Timer set to 7 minutes.
5. When approximately ½ the cooking time has elapsed, carefully open oven lid and using
the corner of one of the pizza peels, rotate your pizza 180*. Close lid for reminder of
cooking time.
6. When timer rings, carefully open lid. DO NOT position exposed skin above oven when
opening lid as escaping steam can burn.
7. Using pizza peels or other suitable non-metallic instrument, insert under cooked pizza
and gently remove form cooking stone and place cooked pizza on suitable heat resistant
surface or other appliance to keep warm.
8. Close lid and reset timer if cooking another pizza. It is not necessary to reheat the oven.
CAUTION! The cooking stone is very hot. Remember to remove the pizza peel or other tools
before closing the upper cover.
NOTE! For deep-dish (Chicago) style pizzas reduce cooking temperature and increase cooking time.
