Prepare for Use
Before cooking, let your oven run for 10 minutes with the lid closed on setting 5 to warm up the
pizza stone to 320ºC. This will burn off any lubricants from the oven’s heating elements and will
also help to pre-season your pizza stone. This will not affect the performance of your oven, nor will
it be necessary to repeat this process any time in the future.
Never use cooking oil or water directly on the cooking stone when cooking, seasoning or cleaning.
When cooking with the stone, place the uncooked foods (pizza) directly on the stone surface. Do
not worry about small sctratches or that your stone surface has turned a darker colour. This is a
sign that your stone has been well seasoned. Never use a knife or pizza cutter on the stone as this
could damage the ne-grained cooking surface.
The pizza maker is designed to make delicious pizza from fresh dough and frozen pizza bases.
When using a frozen pizza base, allow the base to thaw before placing in the oven. This will result
in a crispy cooked pizza. When cooking fresh dough, lightly our the stone before placing the dough
directly onto the stone. If you have sticky dough, add more our to your dough as it will stick to the
stone.
Cooking on the Stone
1. First ensure the control knob is set to off and have a quick check inside your pizza maker to see
that nothing is inside your oven other than the cooking stone.
2. Plug the power cord into a 230V socket. To turn your appliance on, simply turn the cooking
temperature control knob to the heat setting 5. You will notice the heat indicator light go on,
this indicates that your pizza oven is pre-heating. By pre-heating your oven before using, you will
achieve better baking results.
3. Setting the timer for 10 minutes for pre-heating, after that your pizza maker is ready for use.
4. Once you’ve added your toppings to uncooked pizza dough or your pre-cooked pizza, place it
onto the pizza paddle for easy insertion into the oven. Never overll your toppings too high
on your pizza. The toppings should always be below the height of the top heating coil to avoid
burning.
5. Making sure your pizza oven is pre-heated, slide your pizza off the pizza paddles and directly
onto the heated stone. Warning: the pizza stone and the handles will be extremely hot. Do not
touch it at any time until it has had a chance to cool down.
6. Close the lid of your pizza oven and keep the knob on setting 5, allow your pizza to cook
for 4-5 minutes or until the pizza is done to your preference. Remember, every pizza may
have a different crust thickness or topping, some pizzas may cook quicker than others. It is
recommended that you open the lid of your pizza oven after 3 minutes to check the progress, if
your pizza is not ready, simply close the lid and continue to cook until your desired taste.
7. If your pizza is cooking too quickly, simply turn the cooking temperature counter clockwise to
a lower setting to reduce the cooking temperature. To raise the cooking temperature turn the
cooking temperature clockwise to a higher setting.
8. It is quick and easy to cook frozen pizza in the pizza oven. Turn your oven onto the 3 setting.
Once the light has turned off place your frozen pizza directly onto the stone and close the lid.
Leave the frozen pizza in the pizza oven for approx. 4 minutes to defrost. Once the base has
defrosted, turn the setting up to cook for approximately 5 minutes.
9. Do not use sticky dough on the stone or pizza paddles. If your dough is sticky, we recommend
our the stone and place the dough directly on top.
