Setup Instructions

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all packaging materials and any promotional labels from the oven.
2. Clean: Before first use, wipe the nonstick baking pan and the exterior of the oven with a damp cloth. Ensure all parts are dry before assembly.
3. Placement: Place the oven on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from walls or cabinets to allow for proper ventilation. Ensure there is sufficient space around the unit.
4. Insert Pan: Place the removable nonstick baking pan onto the rotating base. Ensure it is seated correctly.
5. Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a 120-volt AC, 60 Hz electrical outlet. The rotating pan will begin to turn immediately upon plugging in, as there is no on/off switch for rotation.

Operating Instructions

The Pizzazz Plus Rotating Oven does not require preheating, saving you time and energy. The cooking process begins as soon as the unit is plugged in and the timer is set.

1. Prepare Food: Place your food (e.g., pizza, chicken nuggets, egg rolls) directly onto the nonstick rotating pan.
2. Select Heating Elements: Use the control switches to select your desired heating configuration:
   • LOWER: Activates only the bottom heating element, ideal for crisping crusts.
   • UPPER: Activates only the top heating element, suitable for browning toppings.
   • DUAL: Activates both top and bottom heating elements for comprehensive cooking. This is the recommended setting for most foods.
3. Set Timer: Turn the timer knob clockwise to the desired cooking time. The timer can be set for up to 20 minutes. The heating elements will activate once the timer is set.
4. Monitor Cooking: The transparent viewing window allows you to observe the cooking progress without opening the lid.
5. Completion: When the timer reaches zero, it will signal with an audible alert and automatically turn off the heating elements. The rotating pan will continue to turn until the unit is unplugged.
6. Remove Food: Carefully remove the cooked food using appropriate utensils. The pan and heating elements will be hot.

Cooking Tips:

• For rising-crust pizza, use the LOWER heating element for 10-12 minutes initially, then switch to DUAL for the remaining cooking time.
• For a crisper crust, bake with DUAL elements, then finish with a few minutes of LOWER-only heating.
• To give toppings extra cooking time, leave the UPPER element on for a little longer as needed.
• Cooking times may vary based on food type, thickness, and desired doneness. Adjust as necessary.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Pizzazz Plus Rotating Oven.

1. Unplug and Cool: Always unplug the oven from the electrical outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning or storing.
2. Clean Baking Pan: The removable nonstick baking pan is designed for easy cleaning. Wash it in warm, soapy water using a non-abrasive sponge or cloth. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Do not use metal scouring pads or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the nonstick coating.
3. Clean Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the oven with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the main unit in water or any other liquid.
4. Storage: Store the oven in a dry place when not in use. The removable pan can be stored separately or on the unit once cool and clean.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Presto Pizzazz Plus Rotating Oven, please refer to the following common problems and solutions. For more complex issues, contact customer support.

• Oven not turning on: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check if the circuit breaker has tripped.
• Pan not rotating: The rotating mechanism is activated upon plugging in the unit. If the pan does not rotate, ensure the pan is correctly seated on the base. If the issue persists, unplug the unit and contact customer service.
• Food not cooking evenly: Ensure the food is centered on the rotating pan. Verify that the selected heating elements (LOWER, UPPER, or DUAL) are appropriate for the food being cooked. Adjust cooking time as needed.
