Frequently Asked Questions - POB400 Healthy Choice

How do I preheat the pizza oven?

Turn the temperature knob to setting 4 and the timer knob to 10 minutes. Wait until the bell rings and the indicator light goes out. The oven is now preheated to approximately 320°F (160°C) for optimal cooking.

Can I use frozen pizza directly?

Yes, but it is recommended to thaw the frozen pizza base first for a crispier result. Place the thawed base directly on the baking stone and cook according to the instructions.

Why is the top of my pizza burning while the bottom is undercooked?

This may happen if the temperature is too high. Reduce the temperature setting to 4, or leave the lid open for a couple of minutes to allow the top to cool while the bottom continues cooking.

How do I clean the baking stone?

Never use water, oil, or detergents on the baking stone. Scrape off excess food with a metal spatula or stiff brush, then wipe with a paper towel or clean dishcloth. Small scratches and darkening are normal and improve flavor.

Can I put the oven or its parts in the dishwasher?

No. Do not immerse any part of the appliance in water or put it in the dishwasher. The exterior should be cleaned with a damp cloth only. The paddles and cutter can be hand washed in warm soapy water.

What should I do if the indicator light keeps going on and off?

This is normal. The thermostat automatically turns the heating element on and off to maintain the set temperature. The light will cycle accordingly.

How do I prevent the bottom of the pizza from burning?

For the first pizza, preheat on setting 4 and wait for the indicator light to go out, then rest the stone for a couple of minutes before adding the pizza. When cooking multiple pizzas, open the lid for a few minutes between batches and reduce temperature to 4 before resetting to 5 for the next pizza.

Is the oven safe to use around children?

The appliance can be used by children aged 8+ under supervision. Children should not play with the oven. Always keep the oven and its cord out of reach of young children.

What type of pizza dough works best?

Both fresh and store-bought doughs work well. For fresh dough, lightly flour the baking stone to prevent sticking. Do not overload toppings to avoid contact with the top heating element.

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.
