Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials from the pizza maker and its accessories. Retain packaging for storage or future transport.
- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wipe the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth. The ceramic baking stone should be wiped clean with a paper towel. Do not wash the stone with water or detergent. The lifting paddles can be hand washed with warm water and mild detergent, then dried thoroughly.
- Placement: Place the pizza maker on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface, ensuring adequate clearance around the unit for ventilation. Do not place it near flammable materials.
- Power Connection: Ensure the power cord is fully extended and plug the appliance into a grounded electrical outlet.
- Pre-heating the Stone: For optimal results, it is recommended to pre-heat the ceramic baking stone. Close the lid, set the temperature dial to the desired setting (e.g., maximum for pizza), and set the timer for 10-15 minutes. The heat indicator light will illuminate during heating.
Operating Instructions
Cooking Pizza:
- Pre-heat: Ensure the pizza maker is pre-heated to the desired temperature (up to 400°C) as described in the Setup section. The heat indicator light will turn off when the set temperature is reached, and cycle on/off during cooking to maintain temperature.
- Prepare Pizza: Place your pizza (homemade or store-bought) on one of the lifting paddles. If using homemade dough, lightly flour the stone to prevent sticking.
- Insert Pizza: Carefully open the lid. Using the lifting paddle, slide the pizza onto the hot ceramic baking stone. Close the lid immediately.
- Set Timer: Set the timer according to your pizza's requirements. For a typical pizza, cooking time is approximately 5 minutes. Monitor cooking through the transparent window.
- Monitor and Rotate (Optional): If desired, you can briefly open the lid and use the second paddle to rotate the pizza halfway through cooking for more even browning. Exercise caution as the oven is extremely hot.
- Remove Pizza: Once cooked, carefully open the lid. Use the lifting paddles to slide the pizza off the stone and onto a cutting board or plate.
- Cool Down: After use, unplug the appliance and allow it to cool completely before cleaning or storing.

Other Uses:
The MasterPro Pizza Maker can also be used for:
- Toasting Bread: Place slices directly on the stone.
- Reheating Pastries/Pies: Use a lower temperature setting and shorter cooking time.
- Heating Bagels/Croissants: Place directly on the stone.
Always monitor food closely when using for purposes other than pizza, as cooking times and temperatures may vary significantly.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your MasterPro Pizza Maker.
- Always Unplug and Cool: Before cleaning, always unplug the appliance from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely.
- Ceramic Baking Stone:
- Scrap off any excess food residue with a spatula or stiff-bristled brush.
- Wipe the stone clean with a dry paper towel.
- DO NOT use water, soap, or detergents on the ceramic stone. The porous nature of the stone will absorb liquids and detergents, which can affect its performance and taste of food.
- Discoloration of the stone over time is normal and does not affect performance.
- Lifting Paddles: Hand wash in warm water with mild detergent and dry thoroughly.
- Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the pizza maker with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they may damage the finish.
- Interior (Non-Stone Areas): For any spills or residue inside the oven (excluding the stone), wipe with a damp cloth once cooled. Ensure no water enters electrical components.
- Storage: Store the appliance in a cool, dry place. Ensure the power cord is neatly wrapped and not kinked.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Appliance does not turn on. | Not plugged in; power outlet not active; faulty cord/plug. | Ensure plug is securely in a working outlet. Check household circuit breaker. If cord/plug is damaged, do not use; contact customer support. |
| Pizza not cooking evenly. | Uneven heat distribution; pizza not centered; lid opened too frequently. | Rotate pizza halfway through cooking using paddles. Ensure pizza is centered on the stone. Avoid opening the lid unnecessarily during cooking. |
| Pizza sticking to the stone. | Insufficient flour on homemade dough; stone not properly seasoned (for first use). | Lightly flour the ceramic stone before placing homemade dough. Ensure the stone is clean and dry. |
| Timer not working. | Mechanical issue. | If the timer is faulty, use an external timer (e.g., phone timer) to monitor cooking times. |
| Appliance causes circuit breaker to trip. | Overload on circuit; internal electrical fault. | Ensure no other high-wattage appliances are on the same circuit. If problem persists, discontinue use and contact customer support. |
