Important Safety Instructions
Always follow basic safety precautions when using electrical appliances to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons.
- Read all instructions before using the appliance.
- Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
- To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or appliance in water or other liquid.
- Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
- Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts.
- Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner.
- The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
- Do not use outdoors.
- Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
- Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
- Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
- Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to "off", then remove plug from wall outlet.
- Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
Setup and Installation
Before initial use, ensure the oven is placed on a stable, heat-resistant surface with adequate ventilation around the unit.
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the pizza oven from its packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage. Retain packaging for future transport if needed.
- Placement: Position the oven on a flat, sturdy, and heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is sufficient clearance (at least 10 cm) from walls and other appliances for proper ventilation.
- Power Connection: Connect the power cord to a grounded electrical outlet. The oven operates on 230 V/50 Hz/1 phase. Ensure the electrical supply matches the oven's requirements.
- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wipe down the exterior and interior surfaces with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
- Pre-heating (Burn-off): It is recommended to run the oven empty for approximately 30 minutes at maximum temperature (350°C) during its first use. This will burn off any manufacturing residues and odors. Ensure the area is well-ventilated during this process.

Operating Instructions
The Maxima Double Deck Pizza Oven is designed for efficient baking of pizzas, bread, and cakes. It features independent temperature control for each chamber.
Control Panel Overview:
- Temperature Dials: Separate dials for the top and bottom chambers, allowing temperature adjustment from 0°C to 350°C.
- Indicator Lights: Red lights illuminate when heating elements are active.
- Internal Lights: Each chamber has an independent light switch to monitor baking progress without opening the door.
- Power Switch: Main power switch for the entire unit.

Baking Process:
- Power On: Ensure the oven is plugged in and turn on the main power switch.
- Set Temperature: Rotate the temperature dials for the desired chamber(s) to the required baking temperature. The red indicator light will illuminate, indicating heating is in progress.
- Pre-heating: Allow the oven to pre-heat until the indicator light turns off, signifying the set temperature has been reached. This typically takes 15-20 minutes depending on the target temperature.
- Load Food: Carefully open the oven door using the handle. Place your pizza or other food item directly onto the stone tile inside the chamber.
- Monitor Baking: Use the internal light switch for each chamber to check the baking progress without losing heat by opening the door.
- Remove Food: Once baking is complete, carefully remove the food using appropriate heat-resistant utensils.
- Power Off: After use, turn the temperature dials to 0°C and switch off the main power. Unplug the oven if it will not be used for an extended period.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Maxima Pizza Oven.
- Before Cleaning: Always ensure the oven is unplugged and completely cooled down before cleaning.
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the stainless steel exterior with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they can scratch the surface.
- Interior Cleaning: For the interior, remove any loose food debris. The stone tiles should be scraped clean of any baked-on residue. Do not use water or detergents directly on the stone tiles, as they are porous and can absorb liquids, leading to cracking. For stubborn stains, gently scrape with a plastic scraper.
- Glass Doors: Clean the glass doors with a glass cleaner or a damp cloth.
- General Care: Regularly check the power cord for any signs of damage. Ensure ventilation openings are clear of obstructions.
