INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Minimum Clearance for Installation
From combustible or non-combustible construction:
Right side, Left side and Back: 3” (76mm)
Location
Due to the heat a countertop oven may produce, it must
be placed on a non-combustible surface. Do not store
combustible materials on top of any oven.
Electrical Connections
Suitable means, which will disconnect all ungrounded
conductors of the circuit simultaneously, must be
provided by the installer.
Make sure electrical supply corresponds with that
specified on the rating plate located in the rear of the
oven.
When installed, the unit must be connected by an
earthing cable to all other units within the complete
installation and thence to an independent earth
connection.
Use copper conductors only, rated at 90° C.
If a line cord is used for the installation of the unit in
Europe, it should be a minimum of H07RN-F type
conforming to EN60 335-1 and/or local codes.
Use minimum conductor size as below:
c. With sufficient help, tilt the unit back far enough
to mount the two front legs and tighten with an
adjustable wrench.
d. After the front legs are tight, lift rear of unit
approximately 5” (125mm) off the surface and
block in position using wood or some other
solid material. Now mount the two rear legs and
tighten.
e. Using the proper lifting equipment, move the unit
to its final location.
f. Adjust the bottom portion of legs to make level.
g. Slide baking decks into each shelf. (See Installation
of Decks on Page 5.)
Initial Start Up
After the electrical connections have been made, the
oven will need approximately 2 to 3 hours to burn off.
Overexposure to smoke or fumes may cause
nausea and dizziness.
Initial heating of the oven may generate smoke or fumes
and must be done in a well ventilated area.
• For models PX-14, PX-16, P-18, BK-18 and P-24S:
14 Gauge (1.5mm) for 220-240V, single phase
supply.
• For models P-22S, P-22BL, P-44S, P-44BL, P-46S,
P-48S and DP-2: 10 Gauge (2.5mm) for 220240/380-415V, 3 phase supply.
Requirements For Installation
For portable units (Model PX-14 and PX-16) there are
no special requirements.
For shipping purposes the optional 4” (100mm) legs are
not mounted. For mounting legs, follow steps a - g.
a. Remove the outer shipping carton and paper and
place the oven on the floor or other flat surface.
b. Remove legs, baking decks and any other
materials from inside the unit.
For initial heating of the new oven, follow the steps
below:
• Place the oven in a well ventilated area.
• Open the oven doors and remove any instructions
or samples shipped within the unit. Make sure
the oven cavity is empty and the baking decks are
properly installed.
• With the oven doors open, turn the temperature
knobs to 400° F (205° C) for one hour. Close the
oven door. Increase the temperature to 500° F
(260° C) for at least 1 1/2 hours.
This procedure will dry out the insulation and deck
material and will help to insure optimum baking results
thereafter.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTICE
Only Pizza or Bread can have direct contact with
Fibrament decks. All other food products must
be placed in a pan or container to avoid direct
contact with ceramic decks.
• Preheat the oven by setting the thermostat to the
desired temperature. When the thermostat light goes
out and has cycled three times, the oven is ready for
use.
• These ovens have been designed to bake both fresh
and frozen products. Frozen fruit pies should be
taken directly from the freezer and placed into the
oven. Cooking time will vary with the size of the pie,
but under normal conditions a frozen pie should
bake approximately in the same time as a fresh pie.
• These ovens work well for toasting, melting cheese,
baking frozen entrees, roasting small meat items,
etc.
• The temperature range for pizza baking is usually
between 500° F (260° C) and 575° F (300° C)
depending on the individual product.
• Allow the pizza to bake until the cheese bubbles and
the bottoms are evenly brown. (Rotate if necessary)
• The design of the PX-14 and PX-16 is such that
normal baking temperature may be too high for good
results. Set the thermostat approximately 25° F (15°
C) BELOW normal setting. Adjust temperature as
needed.
• Do not keep the oven door open too long when
loading since heat will escape, resulting in slower
baking.
• As demand increases, temperature should be raised
for faster recovery.
• Fresh dough generally requires a slightly lower
baking temperature and longer bake time than
defrosted pre-baked crusts.
General Baking Tips
• Pizza crusts should be fully defrosted before baking.
• Wet areas on the bottom of a pizza will cause them
to stick to the deck. Avoid spills.
• For fresh dough pizza, flour or corn meal on the
peel will prevent sticking and ease placement of the
pizza on the deck.
• Increasing bake temperature during heavy
production assists in maintaining temperature. After
the rush is over, reduce temperature to prevent
burning.
• Heavily topped pizzas require longer bake times at
lower temperatures.
• Placing a screen under pizza will allow the top to
cook without overcooking the bottom.
Frequently scrape and brush off decks to remove
burned residue which can cause an off flavor to the
product. Residue build-up can slow bake times.
A deck scraper/brush specially designed for this
available from Bakers Pride.
• Clean heavily soiled pizza decks by scraping down,
brushing off, removing from oven, turning over and
putting back. This procedure will burn off the decks
and should be repeated every six months. DO NOT
USE WATER TO CLEAN THE DECKS as this could
cause the decks to crack.
• Using shiny pans or screens will produce products
with light bottom color. We strongly suggest that all
pans and screens be seasoned before use.
• When production requirements are low, keep the
temperature low to prevent the bottoms from
burning.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Special Features
• Timer: An electric timer is provided to give an
audible, continuous signal at the end of a preset
time up to 15 minutes (18 minutes with 50Hz
supply) on pizza ovens, or 60 minutes (72 minutes
with 50Hz supply) on bake ovens.
• Optional Electronic Timer: A Digital electronic 99
minute timer can be provided on all models to give
an audible signal at the end of a pre-set time.
NOTICE
Timer does not control the oven.
• For PX-14 and PX-16 only: Individual switches are
provided to turn off the top or the bottom heating
element. This allows baking items that do not
require direct top or bottom heat.
• For DP-2 only: Optional infinite control switches can
be provided for fine balancing of top and bottom
heat.
•
Cleaning
• Periodic cleaning is suggested to keep your oven in
good shape.
NOTICE
Do Not Use Water To Clean Decks. Cracking May
Result.
• Stainless steel surfaces should be cleaned with
Bakers Pride stainless steel cleaner.
Service and Troubleshooting
The ovens are designed to be as trouble free as
possible. Keeping the oven clean is all that is normally
required. All servicing should be performed by a factory
authorized technician only.
However, if your oven stops operating, please check the
following:
• Power supply cord is plugged into the supply
receptacle.
• Power supply fuse/circuit breaker has not tripped.
If the oven still does not operate, take the following
steps:
• Disconnect the power supply to the unit by removing
the supply cord and/or turning off the main switch.
• Contact the factory, factory representative or an
authorized service agency.
Always Clean The Oven When It Is Cold.
• When cleaning stainless steel, always wipe in
the direction of the grain. Scrapers, brushes and
stainless steel cleaner can be ordered from Bakers
Pride for this purpose.
• From time to time the spillage should be scraped
out. For hard to clean spillage, the following is
suggested
• Turn the thermostat up to the highest setting and let
the oven run for 1/2 hour with the door closed.
• Allow the oven to cool down.
• Brush residue from the deck.
NOTICE
Infinite control switches must be in a set position
(other than off) in model DP-2 with optional
infinite switches, for elements to operate.
A system wiring diagram is a part of this manual and is
provided on the back of the unit.
For further information and to purchase the deck
scraper/brush, or stainless steel cleaner, call Bakers
Pride at: (972) 908-6148.
