OPERATION

NO HEATED PLATENS (348DPC18NH)

• Diameter and thickness of the finished product is determined through the dough weight, dough temperature, press time and thickness setting. It is recommended to use trial and error to determine the most consistent product.
• Use proofed pizza dough of at least room temperature. Do NOT use frozen dough. Frozen dough can damage the unit and void the warranty.
• Do not use metal utensils on the unit. Metal utensils can scratch and damage the stainless-steel platens.
• With the platens closed together, set the desired dough thickness by turning the thickness adjustment knob. For thinner dough, turn the knob clockwise. For thicker dough, turn the knob counterclockwise.
• Open the platens and apply food-safe oil on the upper & lower platens.
• Place the proofed portioned dough ball in the center of the platen. Add a small amount of food-safe oil on the top of the dough ball.

NOTE: DO NOT dust the platens or dough ball with flour.

1. Pull down the upper platen all the way by applying pressure to the top handle with both hands.
2. Hold the handle down for desired time. Recommended time is 10-12 seconds. The warmer the dough, the shorter the required press time.

CAUTION: Please keep hands away from pressing platens when you press down the handle. It can cause serious injury.

1. Raise the handle all the way up and remove the flattened dough.
2. Since the platens are not heated, this unit will only press dough to about 60% of the finished size. To reach finished size, stretch or hand toss the dough.

OPERATION

UPPER HEATED PLATEN (348DPC18P)

- DO NOT touch the heated upper platen. It is hot and can burn the user.

- Diameter and thickness of the finished product is determined through the dough weight, dough temperature, press time, thickness setting, & temperature. It is recommended to use trial and error to determine the most consistent product.

- Only use proofed pizza dough of at least refrigerated temperature. Do NOT use frozen dough. Frozen dough can damage the unit and void the warranty.

- To use no heated platens, unplug the unit and follow the "No Heated Platens" operating instructions.

- Do not use metal utensils on the unit. Metal utensils can scratch and damage the stainless-steel platens.

1. Plug the cord of the unit into a grounded electrical outlet and turn on the unit by pressing the red on/off switch on the right side. After the unit is turned on, the upper platen begins to heat automatically. It usually takes between 15-30 minutes for the unit to heat up to the set temperature. NOTE: Please close the upper heating platen before turning on the machine.

2. To switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius, press the purple "UNIT SWITCH" button.

3. Set the desired temperature using the "TEMP" controls. A temperature of 150 degrees Fahrenheit is acceptable for most pizza dough. Generally, colder dough needs a higher press temperature than warmer dough. However, it is recommended to use trial and error to determine the best temperature setting.

4. Set the desired press time using the "TIMER" controls. Generally, a press time of 2-8 seconds is acceptable with less time for warm dough and more time for cold dough. However, it is recommended to use trial and error to determine the best timer setting.

5. With the platens closed together, set the desired dough thickness by turning the thickness adjustment knob. For thinner dough, turn the knob clockwise. For thicker dough, turn the knob counterclockwise.

6. Open the platens and apply food safe oil on the upper & lower platens.
