Before First Use

• Before using your pizza oven for the first time, run the appliance with the lid closed for 10 minutes at power setting 5 to heat the stone and burn off any lubricant on the heating elements. This process does not affect performance and does not need to be repeated.
• Never pour oil or water directly onto the stone surface when cooking, seasoning, or cleaning.
• Never use a knife, pizza cutter, or metal objects on the stone surface to avoid damaging it.
• This oven is designed for fresh dough and frozen pizzas.
• For frozen pizzas, let them defrost before cooking for a crispier result.
• For fresh dough, sprinkle a little flour on the stone surface before placing the pizza. Add more flour if the dough is very sticky to prevent sticking.

Instructions for Use

1. Ensure the main control dial is in the OFF position. Open the oven to ensure it is empty before switching it on.
2. Plug the appliance into a 220V/240V socket.
3. To switch on, turn the temperature control dial to maximum (5). A light will come on to indicate the oven is preheating. Preheating helps achieve a crisper result.
4. Set the timer to 10 minutes for preheating. The oven will be ready to use after 10 minutes.
5. Place the pizza dough on a board and add your favourite ingredients. Do not overfill the pizza or pile up ingredients. Ingredients must always be lower than the upper heating element to avoid burning.
6. Check that the oven is properly preheated. Slide the pizza from the board onto the hot stones. Warning: The cooking surface and handle will be extremely hot. Do not touch them until they have cooled, or use oven gloves.
7. Close the lid, leaving the dial at position 5. Let your pizza cook for 4-5 minutes or until desired result. Cooking time depends on dough thickness and ingredients.
8. It is recommended to open the oven after 3 minutes to check cooking progress. If the pizza is not ready, close the lid and let it cook longer.
9. If your pizza is cooking too quickly, turn the temperature control dial counter-clockwise to lower the temperature. Turn clockwise to raise it.

Cleaning and Maintenance

• Clean the appliance after each use.
• Always unplug the appliance and wait for it to cool down before cleaning or repairing.
• Use a damp cloth only for the external surface. Never immerse the appliance in water or other liquids.
• Do not use metallic utensils, oil, water, or abrasive cleaning materials, as this can damage the non-stick finish and external surface. Remove any stuck foodstuffs with a plastic spatula and dry the surface with paper towels or a clean cloth.
• Do not use the stone surfaces as a cutting board, as this will damage them.
