BREVILLE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST

At Breville we are very safety conscious. We design and manufacture consumer products with the safety of you, our valued customer, foremost in mind. In addition we ask that you exercise a degree of care when using any electrical appliance and adhere to the following precautions.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE AND SAVE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed including:

•Remove and safely discard any packing materials and promotional labels before using the oven for the first time.

•To avoid choking hazard for young children, remove and safely dispose of the protective cover fitted on the power plug.

•Do not use the appliance near the edge of a countertop

or table. Ensure the surface is stable, level, heat-resistant and clean.

•Do not use on a cloth-covered surface, near curtains or other flammable materials.

•A fire may occur if the oven is covered or touches flammable materials, including curtains, draperies, walls, and the like, when in operation.

•Do not use the appliance on (or close to) a hot gas or electric burner, or where it could touch a heated oven or surface.

2

•Do not let the power cord hang over the edge of a table or counter, touch hot surfaces or become knotted.

•To avoid electric shock, do not immerse the cord, plug or motor base in water (or other liquids).

•The outer housing of the oven may be hot during and after cooking. Please do not touch hot surfaces. Always keep the power cord of this oven, and those of other appliances near the oven, clear from the oven housing.

•The oven is not suitable to be used in a small appliance enclosure. Ensure to leave adequate space all around the oven. Minimum space of 4

inches/10cm is recommended.

•Do not touch hot surfaces. To avoid burns, use extreme caution when removing the included pizza pan or pizza

stone as they might be very hot.

•Do not lay cooking utensils, roasting pans or dishes on the glass door.

•Do not leave the door standing open for extended periods

of time.

•Do not store any item on top of the oven when in operation except the dedicated optional bamboo chopping board.

•Do not place cardboard, plastic, paper, or other flammable materials in the oven.

•Do not cover any part of the oven with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the oven.

•We recommend using the dedicated pan with the pizza oven, although other cast iron/ carbon steel pans that fit are also suitable for usage.

•Do not use non-stick or coated pans in the oven.

•Use caution when using stainless steel pans as they may discolor at high temperatures.

•Caution should be exercised when removing the pan from the oven. Pan should be placed on a heat proof material.

•No lid should be used in the oven on top of the pan.

•Oversized foods and metal utensils must not be inserted in the oven as they may create fire or risk of electric shock.

•To avoid any direct contact with the oven, the provided pizza peel should be used at all times when inserting

a pizza into the cavity, unless cooking a pan pizza.

•The use of accessories and attachments not recommended or supplied with this oven may cause injuries.

3

•Do not store any materials, other than manufacturers recommended accessories, in this oven when not in use.

•This appliance is for household use only. Do not use in any type of moving vehicles.

Do not use the appliance outdoors, or for anything other than its intended use. Misuse can cause injury.

•If the appliance is to be cleaned, moved, assembled or stored, always switch the unit off and allow it to cool

completely, before unplugging it from the power outlet.

•Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch electrical parts, creating a risk of electric shock.

•Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used by or near children.

•Longer detachable powersupply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

•It is recommended to regularly inspect the appliance and power cord. Do not use the appliance if there is damage to the power cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any way.

Immediately stop use and call Breville Consumer Support.

•We recommend operating the oven on a dedicated circuit separated from other appliances. Consult a licensed and qualified electrician if you are unsure.

•Servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.

•This appliance is equipped with a power cord having a grounding wire with a

grounding plug. The appliance must be grounded using a 3-hole properly grounded outlet. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electrical shock.

•Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord or use an adapter.

•Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

4

•The installation of a residual current device (safety switch) is recommended to provide additional safety protection when using electrical appliances. It is advisable that a safety switch with a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30mA be

installed in the electrical circuit supplying the appliance. See your electrician for professional advice.

WARNING

To prevent electric shock, unplug before cleaning.

MANUAL MODE FUNCTION

Manual Mode is an alternative mode of operation that allows you to individually control deck and top temperatures, and to select which heaters are in operation. This enables you to fully customize how the oven functions.

For better use of the Manual Mode, the alternate interface magnet provided with the pizza oven should be placed on the front of the interface to indicate what temperatures you have set and what heaters you are using.

To set the oven to “Manual Mode”

1.Press and hold the TIME/DECK TEMP dial.

2.Turn the STYLE/TOP TEMP dial from OFF to 350°F.

3.Release the TIME/DECK TEMP dial.

4.The Manual Mode light will flash three times and then stay on.

DECK TEMP ºF				TOP TEMP ºF		TOP CONTROL
550	MANUAL	AT TEMP	550		EVEN		CRUST
						HEAT	ONLY
500	600		500		600
450	650	450			650
400	700	400			700
350	750	350			750

OFF

When the Manual Mode is selected, the control dial situated on the far right will allow you to choose the heat distribution in each top element, in order to achieve different food results.

If selecting the setting on the far left , the inner & outer top elements will have a similar heat distribution to allow an even cooking result. This setting is ideal if cooking a style of pizza that requires that both the toppings and the crust to be cooked evenly.

By turning the dial from left to right, you will allow the heat to be more and more directed toward the outer element and away from the inner top element.

If selecting the setting on the far right , the outside top element will have a much higher heat distribution than the inside top element. This setting is ideal if cooking a Neapolitan style pizza which requires higher heat in the crust, to achieve leopard-spotting, or if cooking with delicate ingredients.
