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.

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).

• When operating the oven,
keep a minimum distance
of 4" (10cm) of space on both
sides of the appliance and
6" (15cm) above.

• 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 BPZ800 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.

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

3

• 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.

WARNING

To prevent electric shock,
unplug before cleaning.

of the cord set or extension cord
should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance,
(2) the cord should be arranged
so that it will not drape over the
countertop or table-top where it
can be pulled on by children
or tripped over unintentionally
and (3) the extension cord
must include a 3-prong
grounding plug.

Functions

BEFORE FIRST USE

In order to remove any protective substances
on the heating elements, it is necessary to run
the oven empty for 20 minutes. Ensure the area
is well ventilated as the oven may emit vapors.
These vapors are safe and are not detrimental
to the performance of the oven.

1. Remove and safely discard any packing
material, promotional labels and tape
from the oven.

2. Remove the pizza stone from its packaging.
Gently wipe the top black surface of the
deck with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly
and place the pizza stone in the oven cavity.

3. Wipe the interior of the oven with a soft,
damp sponge.

4. Place the oven on a flat, dry surface. Ensure
there is a minimum distance of 4" (10cm)
of space on both sides of the oven and
6" (15cm) above.

5. Unwind the power cord completely and
insert the power plug into a grounded
power outlet.

dial lights will illuminate and then turn off.

7. Turn the STYLE dial clockwise until the
indicator reaches the 750°F (400°C)
function.

page 15 for instructions for first use of pan.

OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE OVEN

a well-ventilated area, as it will emit smoke
when cooking.

the recommended time specific to the
setting. The time can be adjusted by turning
the time dial.

5. Allow the oven to preheat until the
AT TEMP light stops flashing, and stays
on. The preheating time can vary between
10–20 minutes depending on the selected
preset.

pizzas, wait until the AT TEMP light turns solid
on before loading your next pizza.

If cooking different types of pizza, it is advised
to start with the type that uses the lowest
temperature.

NOTE

For high temperature cooking functions,
we recommend you monitor and stay close
to the oven as your food can quickly become
overdone and eventually ignite.
