Frequently Asked Questions - P300S BLACK & DECKER

How to preheat the pizza oven?

Always preheat the oven for at least 5 minutes before use. For a crispy crust, preheat 10 minutes for the first pizza, then 3 to 4 minutes between each pizza. Insert the ceramic stone during preheating, except for delicate pastries.

Why does my pizza cook unevenly?

Make sure the pizza is centered on the stone. If not, use a spatula to reposition it during cooking. Frequent door opening can also affect cooking.

What if smoke comes out of the appliance?

Clean the oven after each use to remove food residues. During first use, slight smoke or odor is normal and will disappear. Never open the door in case of fire; unplug the appliance.

Can I use parchment paper or silicone molds in this oven?

No, do not use parchment paper, silicone mats, or paper molds. Use only the provided ceramic stone or oven-safe metal/glass dishes for Bake and Deep settings.

How to clean the ceramic stone?

The ceramic stone is dishwasher safe or can be hand-washed with a non-abrasive sponge and dish soap. Discoloration over time is normal.

Can I cook other things besides pizza?

Yes, the oven has settings for Snacks (frozen fries, bites, etc.), Bake (cookies, croissants), and Deep (lasagna, pies). Avoid greasy foods which may cause a fire.

Why is the cooking time longer than expected?

Insufficient preheating is often the cause. Make sure to preheat 5 minutes minimum. Voltage variations and food thickness can also affect. Use the appropriate setting (e.g., Rising for thick pizzas).

Can the tray handle be installed on the left or right?

Yes, the handle hooks can be screwed on either side of the appliance to fit your space. Do not overtighten.

How to use the Snacks setting?

Select the Snacks function, preheat the oven and stone, then place frozen snacks directly on the stone. Watch carefully as cooking times are short (4-6 minutes).

What if the appliance does not turn on?

Check that the timer is set past the 10 position to start. If the light does not come on, plug into a different outlet. If the issue persists, contact customer service at 1 800 231-9786.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR PIZZA OVEN

• This unit is designed to cook significantly faster than other cooking devices on most settings. Do not leave unit unattended while in use.
• This oven gets hot. When in use, always use oven mitts or potholders when touching any outer or inner surface of the oven.
• Do not use cooking sprays or oils on ceramic tray while using functions that have Medium or High IR intensity. See function chart on next page.
• During first few minutes of use you may notice smoke and a slight odor. This is caused by oil that may have been used during manufacturing of the unit and will not impact the performance of this oven.
• You must set the timer for the pizza oven to function.
• The heating elements will cycle on and off during operation to maintain even heat distribution.
• Do not cut foods directly on the provided Ceramic Tray.
• Do not use parchment paper, silicone mats, or other baking liners in this oven.
• Opening the door often or for extended periods of time could impact preheat and cook time. Keep door closed whenever possible to retain heat.

PREHEATING

• Always preheat the oven for at least 5 minutes before use.
- For items such as pizza, frozen snacks, etc; always preheat the Ceramic Tray along with the oven by putting the Ceramic Tray in place before the appliance starts heating.
- For more sensitive baked goods such as cookies, croissants, etc; preheating the Ceramic Tray can cause the food to cook too quickly and is not recommended.
- As a general rule, if the foods are being cooked on the lower heat settings (Bake and Deep Dish) preheating the Ceramic Tray is not needed. If the foods cook at higher temperatures, preheat the Ceramic Tray for optimal results.
- For crispier crusts on your pizza we recommend preheating the oven for 10 minutes before the first use, then an additional 3-4 minutes between pizzas.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT FUNCTION

This Pizza Oven & Snack Maker features 5 easy to use settings that were specially programmed to ensure optimal results for the foods being cooked.

BAKE: Set with a constant temperature at 375^ F ( 190^ C), enabling you to bake general items like cookies or pastries in the Pizza Oven. Please note that while you can bake a variety of items at this temperature you may need to adjust your baking time.

SNACKS: Optimized with high heat and high IR intensity to quickly cook basic frozen snack items in approximately half the time as a conventional oven. For best results insure all items being cooked are of the same type and general size. Please watch the cooking process closely as cooking times will vary depending on the item type and thickness.

PIZZA—REGULAR: This setting works with fresh or frozen pizza by optimizing the top and bottom heating elements to give you a crisp crust while melting the cheese on top. Depending on the thickness and number of toppings cooking times may vary so please watch the cooking process closely.

PIZZA—RISING: Developed with high heat but lowered IR intensity for both fresh and frozen rising crusts. This allows the crusts to rise appropriately. Please watch the cooking process closely as thickness and number of toppings may affect cook time.

PIZZA—DEEP DISH: Cooks the pizza more slowly at 375^ F ( 190^ C) to ensure warm gooey toppings all the way through the pizza. While it will cook more closely to standard cooking times for deep dish pizzas please monitor the cooking process closely.

CARE AND CLEANING

This product contains no user serviceable parts.

CLEANING

Important: Before cleaning any part, be sure the oven is off, unplugged and completely cool. DO NOT clean the heating elements.

1. Clean the glass door with a sponge, soft cloth or nylon pad using dish soap and water. Do not use a spray glass cleaner.
2. Clean the stainless steel with a sponge, soft cloth or nylon pad using dish soap and water. To polish and shine the stainless steel, you may use a non bleach cleaner such as Barkeeper's Friend.
3. Ceramic Tray is dishwasher safe, but can also be cleaned using dish soap and water with a polyester or nylon pad. Similar to a pizza stone some discoloration will occur over time on the ceramic tray.

4. Wipe crumb tray with a dampened cloth or paper toweling and dry thoroughly before inserting back into unit.

5. Due to the intense heat inside of the oven, over time a slight yellowing may occur around the oven door. Cleaners such as Barkeeper's Friend easily clean the surface to like-new condition. Only use these cleaners on the outside surfaces of the oven.

6. After use, the pan may slightly season and discolor. This is normal and should not affect results.

TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEMEXPLANATIONRECOMMENDATION
My Pizza cooked unevenly.	The heating element types and location have been specifically optimized to cook a perfect pizza from the center of the pan without needing to rotate. Being off center can cause one side to cook a little faster than the other.	When placing pizza on the tray, pull it out slightly with the tray handle to better see where the true center is.If while cooking you notice this; pull the tray out and use oven safe utensils (such as a spatula or tongs) to move the pizza back into center for the rest of the cook time. Rotating the pizza can also help if you are farther long in the cooking process. Please note that opening the door could impact the cook time.
The food took longer to cook than expected or lacked crisp.	Preheating the appliance properly can affect the results; if a pizza is cooked before the oven is at the proper temperature the pizza may take longer to cook and could lack crisp.	Always preheat the appliance for at least 5 minutes prior to cooking.
My Pizza didn't turn out on the Regular setting.orSome frozen snacks didn't turn out on the Snack setting.	As with a normal oven, thick foods will need more cooking time than thinner foods.Because this oven cooks so quickly on the Regular and Snack settings the following may happen:Pizzas with thicker crusts or more toppings may brown before the pizza is truly cooked all the way through. Some toppings may even overcook while the rest of the pizza needs more time.Frozen foods with various thicknesses may have some pieces done before others. Some piece may even overcook while others still need more time.Some thick or dense frozen snacks might cook unevenly. The higher heat and IR intensity could cause the food to overcook on the outside, but still need more time on the inside.	Inspect the food before choosing a setting:If the pizza crust looks thick or there are a lot of toppings (ex. supreme pizza), you may want to consider using the “Rising” setting. The lower IR intensity helps cook slightly slower, giving the pizza more time to cook all the way through.If frozen snacks have a large variation in thickness or size, you may want to consider using the “Rising” setting. The lower IR intensity helps cook slightly slower, giving the food more time to cook all the way through.If frozen foods are very dense or thick, you may want to try using the “Rising” setting. The lower IR intensity helps cook slightly slower, giving the food more time to cook all the way through.If while cooking you notice this, turn the control setting to “Rising” and allow it to cook until desired doneness. If needed, remove items that are finished cooking and allow underdone items more time to finish cooking.
I want crispier crust on my pizza.	As with a normal oven, getting crispier crust requires more time and in some cases higher temperatures. Allowing the pizza oven to preheat longer will enable your oven to reach a higher temperature for desired results.	Normal preheat is 5 minutes. Allow the oven to preheat for a full 10 minutes for crispier crust; follow the same cook times listed in cooking chart provided.If cooking more than one pizza, allow 3-4 minutes of preheat between pizzas in order to keep the pizza oven at the correct temperature.
The unit is smoking.	As with a normal oven, leftover food or debris can cause the appliance to smoke.	Always clean your oven between uses to avoid smoke and safety hazards.Upon first use you may notice a light odor or smoke. This is normal and will cause no harm.
