Frequently Asked Questions - PO-1009 Salton

How do I preheat the Salton PO-1009 pizza oven?

Pre-heating is not required for this oven. Simply set the temperature and timer according to your recipe.

What size pizza can I cook in the PO-1009?

The oven accommodates up to a 12-inch (30 cm) pizza crust.

How do I clean the crumb tray and wire rack?

Wash the crumb tray and wire rack in warm soapy water, rinse, and dry. Do not use metal scouring pads or put them in the dishwasher.

Can I use aluminum foil in the oven?

No, do not place metal foil on the crumb tray or any part of the oven as it can cause overheating.

Why does my new oven smoke when first used?

Smoking during the first use is normal and lasts 10–15 minutes. It burns off manufacturing oils. Run the oven at 400°F for 15 minutes without food.

How do I use the rack handle to remove the pizza?

Place the metal bracket of the rack handle under the wire rack so the tabs fit under the rack, and the groove fits over the wire rack hook. Slowly straighten the handle and pull out the rack. Always use oven mitts.

What should I do if the timer doesn't stop the oven?

The timer automatically turns off the heating elements when it reaches zero. If you need to stop earlier, turn the timer counterclockwise to the '0' (Off) position.

Can I use an extension cord with this oven?

Yes, but use a grounded 3-wire extension cord with a rating at least as high as the appliance. Arrange the cord so it does not drape over counter edges to avoid tripping.

How long does it take to cook a frozen pizza?

A frozen pizza typically cooks in 10–12 minutes at maximum temperature. Watch to prevent overcooking.

What is the warranty on the Salton PO-1009?

The oven comes with a 1-year limited warranty against defects in material and workmanship. Contact the retailer or Salton Canada for service.

If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounded 3-wire cord.
