4.3 Initial Burn-Off

Before first use, perform an initial burn-off to eliminate any manufacturing odors or residues:

1. Ensure the oven is empty and the pizza stones are in place.
2. Plug the oven into a grounded power outlet.
3. Set both top and bottom temperature controls to their maximum setting (660°F / 350°C).
4. Set the timer for 30-60 minutes.
5. Allow the oven to operate for the set time. Some smoke or odor may be present; ensure good ventilation.
6. Once complete, turn off the oven, unplug it, and let it cool completely.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Powering On and Preheating

1. Plug the oven into a suitable power outlet.
2. Turn on the main power switch for each deck. The indicator lights will illuminate.
3. Adjust the 'TOP TEMP' and 'BOTTOM TEMP' knobs for each deck to your desired baking temperature. For pizzas, a common range is 500°F-575°F (260°C-300°C).
4. Allow the oven to preheat for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the indicator lights turn off, signaling that the set temperature has been reached.

5.2 Baking

1. Once preheated, carefully open the oven door using the heat-resistant handle.
2. Place your pizza or other food item directly onto the preheated pizza stone using a pizza peel.
3. Close the oven door securely.
4. Set the 60-minute ring timer to your desired baking time. For 16-inch pizzas, baking typically takes 4-6 minutes at high temperatures.
5. Monitor the cooking progress through the tempered glass window. Use the internal 25W light switch if additional visibility is needed.
6. When the timer sounds or the food is cooked to your preference, carefully remove it using a pizza peel.
7. For optimal results, rotate the pizza halfway through baking to ensure even cooking.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your pizza oven.

6.1 General Cleaning

1. Always unplug the oven and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Wipe the stainless steel exterior with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
3. Clean the non-stick aluminum-steel interior with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner.
4. The oven features a pull-out slag tray for easy removal of crumbs and debris. Regularly empty and clean this tray.

6.2 Pizza Stone Care

• Allow the pizza stones to cool completely inside the oven before attempting to clean them.
• Scrape off any baked-on food residue with a plastic scraper or stiff brush.
• Do not use soap or detergent on the pizza stones, as they are porous and may absorb chemicals, affecting future food taste.
• Wipe the stones with a damp cloth. For deep cleaning, heat the stones in the oven at maximum temperature for an hour to burn off residues.

7. Troubleshooting

• Oven Not Heating: Check if the power cord is securely plugged in and the main power switches for each deck are turned on. Verify the circuit breaker.
• Uneven Baking: Ensure the oven is preheated sufficiently. Rotate food items halfway through baking. Check that both top and bottom heating elements are functioning.
• Timer Not Working: Ensure the timer knob is correctly set and wound. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
• Excessive Smoke/Odor: A small amount of smoke/odor during initial burn-off is normal. If it persists, ensure no food debris is burning inside the oven or on the elements.
