SLOTS (fig. 1) (fig. 2) BEFORE USING YOUR PIZZA OVEN • With ceramic deck inserted, place oven in a well-ventilated area to burn off any residual dust from manufacturing. • Plug unit in, open door and set Temperature Control to 400˚F (205˚C). After one hour, close door and increase temperature to 500˚F (260˚C) for at least 1½ hours. Note: The oven may emit an odor during this process; this is normal and not harmful, and should quickly dissipate. • Turn off the oven and allow it to cool completely. Remove any smoke residue from the interior with a damp cloth. • Place clean, cool oven in the area where it will be used. Be sure there is at least 6 inches' clearance between sides and top of oven and any wall or cabinet. • Check to ensure nothing is blocking the exhaust vent on back of unit. BAKING INSTRUCTIONS NOTE: Only pizza and breads can be placed directly on the pizza deck. All other food items must be put onto a tray or into a container rated for high temperature use. Set the Temperature Control Knob to the desired temperature to preheat oven. Watch the Temperature Gauge; when it reaches the temperature selected, the oven is ready to use. The Pizza Oven can be used to bake both fresh and frozen products. Frozen items should go right from the freezer into the pre-heated oven. Cooking time will vary depending on the consistency and weight of the product. 10
