COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

Before use

1. Preheating: Before cooking, let your appliance run for 10 minutes with the lid closed on the temperature setting 4 to warm up the baking stone to approximately 320^ . This will eliminate any residues of the lubricants on the heating elements.
2. Cooking and Cleaning: Never use cooking oil or water directly on the baking stone when cooking or cleaning. Place the uncooked food (pizza) directly on the stone surface for cooking.
3. Baking Stone Care: Do not worry about small scratches or the stone surface turning a darker colour. This does not affect the performance of your baking stone. Remember, never use a knife on the baking stone as this could damage the fine-grained cooking surface.
4. Cooking Pizza: The appliance is designed to make delicious pizzas from fresh dough as well as cook frozen pizza bases. When using a frozen pizza base, allow the base to thaw before placing it into the appliance for a crispy cooked pizza. When cooking fresh dough, lightly flour the baking stone before placing the dough directly onto it. If your dough is sticky, add more flour to your baking stone.
5. Safety Precaution: Extreme caution is needed when opening the appliance, as built-up steam may be quickly released. Use gloves when opening the appliance to ensure safety.

Cooking

1. Initial Setup: Ensure the temperature control knob is set to position "0" and check that nothing is inside your appliance other than the baking stone. Close the lid of your appliance.

2. Preheating: Plug in the appliance. Turn the temperature control knob to position "4." The indicator light will illuminate, and your appliance will start preheating. Turn the timer knob to position "10" (10 minutes). Wait until the bell rings; your appliance is now ready for use. Note: Preheating your appliance before use will improve your baking results.

3. Preparing Your Pizza: Place your pizza dough onto the spatulas and add your favourite toppings. Important: Never overfill or stack your toppings too high. The toppings shouldn't touch the top heating element to avoid burning.

4. Transferring Pizza: Slide your pizza onto the baking stone using the spatulas. Warning: The baking stone and its handles will be extremely hot. Do not touch them until they have cooled down.

5. Baking: Close the lid of your appliance. Turn the temperature control knob to position "5" and bake your pizza for 4-5 minutes. Adjust the baking time according to the dough thickness, toppings, and your taste. Note: It is recommended to check the progress at approximately 3 minutes. Do not open the lid repeatedly to check the pizza, as this will cause the water inside to evaporate. If your pizza is thin, turn the temperature control knob to a lower setting to reduce the cooking temperature. To increase the cooking temperature, turn the knob to a higher setting.

6. Cooking Additional Pizzas: If you wish to cook more pizzas (one after another), repeat the above process without preheating. If the temperature of your appliance becomes too high, leave the lid open for a few minutes after finishing one pizza and set the temperature control back to position "4." Turn the setting to position "5" when you slide another pizza onto the baking stone for cooking again.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

1. After each use, unplug your appliance and let it cool. Be careful not to touch or try to clean your appliance until all parts have cooled down to room temperature.
2. To clean the outside of the appliance, only use a damp cloth. Never dip or immerse your appliance in water or any other liquids. This could cause an electrical shock and/or damage to your appliance.
3. To clean the baking stone, never use cooking oil, water, or any detergents. Scrape off any excess food with a spatula or a stiff-bristled brush and wipe clean with a paper towel or a clean dishcloth.
4. To clean the paddles and cutter, wash them in warm water with mild dishwashing liquid. Never allow them to stand in water, as water saturation will damage the spatulas.
5. Never use the baking stone for any purpose other than its intended use. Never put liquids on the baking stone, whether it is hot or cold.
6. Do not put any part of the appliance in a dishwasher for cleaning.

Notes

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem	Possible cause	Solution
The indicator light goes on and off.	This is an automatic thermostat light.	The light will stay on until the appliance has reached the desired temperature setting.
Top of the pizza is burnt.	Temperature of the appliance is too high.	Check the pizza. If the top is cooking quicker than the bottom, turn the temperature setting back to position “4”, leaving the pizza to continue cooking without the thermostat light on. Alternatively, leave the lid open for a couple of minutes so you can watch the pizza finish cooking.
Bottom of the pizza is burnt.	Temperature of the appliance is too high.	When cooking the first pizza, preheat the appliance on temperature setting 4. There's no need to wait 10 minutes—simply wait until the indicator light goes out and then allow a couple of minutes for the baking stone to rest before adding the pizza. When cooking more pizzas one after another, leave the lid open for a few minutes after finishing one pizza and set the temperature back to position 4. Turn the setting to position 5 when you slide another pizza onto the baking stone for cooking again.
Baking stone is dirty.	Moisture on the surface of the baking stone.	Don't worry if the stone develops marks. The more marks, the better the flavour it gives to the pizza. Simply scrape off any excess material with a metal spatula.
