Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the pizza oven and all accessories from the packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or transport.
2. Placement: Place the oven on a stable, heat-resistant, and flat surface. Ensure there is adequate clearance (at least 6 inches) from walls and other appliances for proper ventilation. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner.
3. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wipe down the exterior of the oven with a damp cloth. The pizza stone should be wiped clean with a dry cloth. Do not wash the pizza stone with soap or immerse it in water.
4. First Use Burn-Off: It is recommended to run the oven empty for 15-20 minutes at the maximum temperature (840°F) during the first use. This will burn off any manufacturing residues and odors. Ensure the area is well-ventilated during this process.

Cooking Your Pizza

1. Prepare your pizza on a lightly floured surface or directly on the pizza peel.
2. Once the oven is preheated, open the door and carefully slide the pizza from the peel onto the hot pizza stone.
3. Close the door immediately to maintain temperature.
4. Monitor cooking progress through the double-insulated glass window. The PID algorithm temperature control technology ensures stable temperatures.
5. When the pizza is cooked to your preference (typically 2 minutes for Neapolitan style), use the pizza peel to carefully remove it from the oven.
6. Slice and serve immediately.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning and maintenance will extend the life of your Pyukix Pizza Oven.

1. Always unplug the oven and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Exterior: Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they may damage the stainless steel finish.
3. Pizza Stone: The pizza stone is porous and should not be washed with soap or immersed in water. Scrape off any baked-on food residue with a plastic scraper or stiff brush. For stubborn stains, you can gently scrub with a dry brush. Over time, the stone will naturally darken, which is normal and does not affect performance.
4. Interior: Wipe the interior surfaces with a damp cloth. For stubborn grease or food particles, a mild detergent can be used, but ensure to wipe thoroughly with a clean, damp cloth afterwards to remove any soap residue.
5. Crumb Tray: The removable crumb tray should be emptied and cleaned regularly. Slide it out, discard crumbs, and wash with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly before reinserting.
