4. Setup

1. Placement: Position the oven on a flat, stable, and heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is sufficient space around the oven for proper ventilation (at least 4 inches on all sides and top).

4. Load Food: Carefully place your pizza or other food items onto the pizza stone using a pizza peel.
5. Set Timer: Turn the timer knob to your desired cooking duration (e.g., 7 minutes for a medium-thick crust pizza). The timer will count down and alert you when finished.
6. Monitor Cooking: Use the visual doors to monitor the cooking progress. Adjust temperature or time if necessary.
7. Remove Food: Once cooked, carefully remove the food using appropriate utensils.

6. Maintenance

6.1. Cleaning

• Always unplug the oven and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
• Exterior: Wipe the stainless steel exterior with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they can scratch the surface.
• Interior: For the interior, wipe down with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, a non-abrasive oven cleaner can be used sparingly, ensuring to wipe thoroughly with a clean, damp cloth afterward to remove all residue.
• Pizza Stones: The pizza stones are easily removable for cleaning. Scrape off any baked-on food residue with a spatula or stiff brush. Do not use soap or detergent on the pizza stone, as it can be absorbed and affect the taste of food. For deep cleaning, bake the stone at high temperature to burn off residue, then scrape.
• Do not immerse the oven in water.
