Care and Cleaning
• Always remove Baking Pan from unit when baking is completed.
• Unplug the oven from the outlet and allow the entire unit to cool completely
before cleaning outside or inside the oven.
• Wash the non-stick Baking Pan in warm, sudsy water, rinse and dry.
The Baking Pan and Warming Tray are dishwasher safe.
• Clean the exterior of the pizza oven with a non-abrasive cleaner and a damp
cloth, then dry thoroughly. Discoloration may occur over time due to heat
and grease. Never immerse the pizza oven, except the Baking Pan and
Warming Tray, in water or other liquid.
• If necessary, the outer rim of the element trays may be cleaned with a nylon
mesh pad to remove any food residue. DO NOT use steel wool scouring
pads or abrasive kitchen cleansers on any part of the pizza oven.
Questions and Answers
When I plug in my oven and set the timer nothing happens. Why? Turn the
oven on by moving the toggle ON/OFF switch to the ON position. The oven is
ON when red indicator light is ON.
The Baking Pan rotates, but my pizza/food does not cook. Why? You did
not turn on the Timer. The Timer sets the cook time and turns on the heating
element to begin cooking the pizza/food. When time is up, the timer will “ding”
and the heating elements will shut off.
The Baking Pan is lopsided. Why? The Baking Pan is not positioned properly.
Slightly lift the pan and push it to the back of the oven. Guides in the back will
center the pan. Gently lower it and allow the rotating gear to grab the pan.
My pizza does not cook evenly. What am I doing wrong? The ingredients on
your pizza are not distributed evenly. If that is the case, allow the pizza to cook
slightly and then redistribute the ingredients with a fork. This will allow the pizza
to cook more evenly.
When I cook rising crust pizza, sometimes the crust seems doughy or
sometimes the crust doesn’t rise very much. Why? It’s possible that the yeast
in your dough is no longer fully active. The amount of rising and the consistency
of crust depends on the condition of the yeast. Freshness, freezer temperatures,
packaging (vacuum packaged is best), and dough quality can all play a factor in
how much the crust rises.
