Frequently Asked Questions - 6205 Nemco

What are the electrical requirements for the Nemco 6205 pizza oven?

The model 6205 requires 120V, 1800W, 15A and has a NEMA 5-15P plug. The model 6205-240 requires 240V, 5400W, 22.5A and has a NEMA 10-30P plug. Both must be properly grounded.

How do I condition the baking stones before first use?

New baking stones must be pre-dried to prevent warping. Install stones in oven, close door without latching, run the cooling fan (not thermostat) for 1 hour. Then set thermostat to 300°F for 1 hour, gradually increasing by 100°F per hour up to 600°F, then hold at 600°F for 1 hour. Keep door closed but not latched during this process.

Can I use water to clean the baking stones?

No. Never use water or liquids on the baking stones. They are porous and will crack if exposed to water. Clean stones only with a dry cloth or light brushing to remove crumbs.

How long does it take to preheat the oven?

For 120V models, preheating to 500°F takes approximately 1 hour. For 240V models, preheating to 600°F takes approximately 20 minutes.

What is the correct way to use the timer?

The timer is a manual bell timer. You must turn the dial past the 10-minute mark first, then set the desired time. The timer rings once when it shuts off.

What safety precautions should I take when using the oven?

Ensure proper grounding, keep combustible materials at least 18 inches from sides/front/rear and 40 inches above. Do not operate with a damaged cord. The exterior gets hot during use; allow 30 minutes to cool after unplugging before cleaning.

Can I cook frozen pizza directly on the stones?

No. Frozen food must be thawed first, or use a screen or pan to avoid thermal shock and cracking of the stones. You can also wrap the stone with foil.

How do I install the legs on the oven?

The legs must be installed into the pre-threaded holes at each corner of the base. The oven must be operated with legs at all times since it has a cooling fan.

What should I do if the oven does not work?

If the unit fails to operate properly, contact Nemco customer service toll free at 1-800-782-6761 for assistance.

How do I clean the exterior of the oven?

Use a stainless steel cleaner to clean the exterior and dry thoroughly. Do not immerse in water or allow water to enter the motor area.

3. WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS WILL RESULT IN STONE WARPING OR CRACKING AND WILL VOID ANY WARRANTIES.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. CAUTION: Handle baking stones carefully. Stones impacting on hard surfaces before, during or after installation may crack or develop hairline fractures. These fractures may expand over time and lead to premature product failure.
2. CAUTION: Do not stack or wedge the stones together. The stones must be installed unrestrained
3. CAUTION: Never clean baking stones with high abrasion brushing or water as they may crack. Wipe the stones clean with a dry rag.

5. WARNING: DO NOT immerse or allow liquids to come in contact with the baking stones.
6. WARNING: NEVER season the stone with any type of baking oil.
7. WARNING: An odor may occur during the initial heat up. This is normal as the stones are adjusting to their environment

CONDITIONING OF BAKING STONES

1. To minimize warping and maximize the life of the stones, they must be pre-dried. Install stones in oven – see above.
2. Close door - but do not fully latch. This will allow moisture to escape.
3. Turn oven fan on - BUT not Thermostat, for one hour to allow stones to stabilize at room temperature.
4. Turn oven on to lowest setting (300 degrees Fahrenheit) for one hour, gradually increasing the temperature 100 degrees Fahrenheit per hour until a 600 degree baking temperature is reached. Maintain 600 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour to insure thorough pre-drying.
5. KEEP DOOR CLOSED DURING THIS PROCEDURE, BUT NOT FULLY LATCHED.
6. You are now ready to begin baking at your temperature.

OPERATION

1. Pre-dry stones prior to first use.
2. Baking flour may be sprinkled on the stones to help season them for the initial bake. Sprinkle a dusting of flour on the stone to provide air space between the stone and items to be baked.

CLEANING

1. Baking Stones are porous and become more seasoned and effective over time.
2. Clean the stones only by lightly brushing to eliminate excess crumbs.
3. Clean stones with a dry cloth only. DO NOT USE WATER OR LIQUIDS ON THE STONE SURFACE.
