- With a swift, confident motion, slide the pizza from the peel onto the hot pizza stone or oven surface.
- To retrieve the cooked pizza, slide the peel underneath the pizza and lift it out of the oven.

- You can switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit readings using the designated button on the device.
3. Using the Pizza Cutter
- Place the cooked pizza on a stable cutting surface.
- Hold the pizza cutter firmly by the handle.
- Apply downward pressure and roll the sharp wheel across the pizza to create clean slices.
Care and Maintenance
Pizza Peel
- Hand wash with warm, soapy water after each use.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbers that could damage the aluminum surface.

Infrared Thermometer
- Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Do not immerse in water.
- Store in a dry place, away from extreme temperatures.
- Remove batteries if the device will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
Pizza Cutter
- The stainless steel cutting wheel is dishwasher safe. For best results and to maintain sharpness, hand washing is recommended.

Troubleshooting
Infrared Thermometer Issues
- No display/Power issues: Check if batteries are correctly installed and have sufficient charge. Replace with new AAA batteries if necessary.
- Inaccurate readings: Ensure the lens is clean and free from obstructions. Point directly at the target surface.
Pizza Peel Issues
- Pizza sticking to peel: Ensure the peel is adequately dusted with flour or semolina. Work quickly when transferring the pizza.
Pizza Cutter Issues
