Important Cord and Plug Information
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. DO NOT
USE WITH AN EXTENSION CORD. This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way. Connect the power supply cord
to a 120VAC electrical outlet only.
Getting Acquainted
Your Pizzazz Plus rotating oven will cook an assortment of frozen convenience foods. It can also be used to bake cookies and cinnamon rolls from refrigerated dough, and prepare quesadillas, grilled sandwiches, and 7- to 12-inch pizzas (frozen, take-and-bake, deli, or
homemade). No preheating is required.
The selectable heating elements (LOWER–DUAL–UPPER) let you bake a variety of foods—even cookies, cinnamon rolls, and rising
crust pizza, as well as providing you with a way to make foods the way you like them. Begin by using the recommended settings in the
cooking charts, which are located on page 4. The pizza chart is also reproduced on the back of the oven for easy reference.
With the open oven design, you can see the precise moment your food is done. You can also change the heat setting and time with ease.
Want a browner top? Select UPPER. Prefer a crispier crust? Select LOWER. Need to reheat for a minute or two? Select DUAL and reset
the timer. If the time is short, turn timer dial beyond the 4-minute mark and then back to the desired time. The oven is fast. To avoid
overcooking, never leave unit unattended.
Whenever the unit is plugged in, the motor will
turn on and the pan will rotate if positioned correctly. Once the timer is set, the heating elements
will turn on. When the time has expired, the timer
will ring and the heating elements will shut off.
The pan will continue to rotate until either it is
removed or the unit is unplugged.

How To Use
Before using for the first time, become familiar
with the Pizzazz Plus rotating oven (Fig. A).
Wash the baking pan in warm, soapy water; rinse
and dry thoroughly.
1. Set the rotating oven on a flat, dry countertop
away from countertop edge.
2. Position the pan over the lower heating
element at an angle so the back inside rim of
the pan rests against the back of the curls on
the lower element tray (Fig. B). Slowly lower
the pan until it is parallel to the counter.
Gently drop the pan in place; it will automatically center itself so that the
drive shaft is inserted in the pan’s hub. Usually, the pan rotates slightly
as it drops into place.
You can tell that it is properly in place by plugging the unit in. The pan
will immediately begin to rotate. If it doesn’t, reposition the pan using
the above instructions.
3. For making pizza, remove pizza from the box or wrapper and the card-
board disk. Center pizza on baking pan. When baking take-out pizza or
rising crust pizza, you may use the baking wheel or special baking tray,
if provided by the pizza manufacturer. Refer to the chart on page 4 for
times and settings.

For making other convenience foods, remove food from package. Do not use the crisping trays or sleeves on the rotating oven.
Distribute food evenly on baking pan. Refer to the charts on page 4 for baking instructions for the specific convenience food being
prepared.
4. Plug the unit in to a 120VAC electrical outlet only. The motor will turn on and the baking pan will begin to rotate.
NOTE: If the baking pan does not rotate, the pan hub is probably not centered over the drive shaft (Fig. B). Reposition the pan
following the instructions in step 2, page 2.
5. Slide the heat element selector switch to the appropriate setting (LOWER–DUAL–UPPER).
6. Press the timer dial down and rotate it clockwise to the desired baking time. Refer to the cooking charts on page 4, rather than the
manufacturer’s instructions. Typically, pizzas will cook faster on the Pizzazz Plus rotating oven than in a conventional oven.
The heating elements will turn on and the food will begin to cook, once the timer is set. Do not preheat the rotating oven. Always
rotate the timer dial beyond the 4-minute mark then back to the desired time when selecting a setting of four minutes or less.
NOTE: When the heating elements are turned on, the metal surrounding the heating elements will expand. You may hear a light
humming or vibrating sound, or a slight pop, as the metal expands. This is normal.
7. If timer goes off and additional baking time is needed, simply reset timer to desired time. To cook four minutes or less, rotate the
dial beyond “4” and then back to time desired. This will activate the heating elements and timer function. When food appears done,
press down on the timer dial and turn it to “0” if it is not at “0” already. The heating elements will turn off when the timer is at the
“0” position.
NOTE: You will hear a clicking sound periodically whenever the unit is plugged in and the timer is at the “0” position. This is normal.
8. While the pan continues to rotate, use hot pads to carefully lift the baking pan off the rotating oven, being careful food does not touch
the upper heating element. Set hot baking pan on a heat-resistant surface.
9. Allow rotating oven to run for 60 to 90 seconds, once baking pan is removed, before unplugging the unit. Let unit cool before
cleaning or storing.
10. Carefully place food on a serving plate or slide pizza onto cardboard circle or pizza tray. Cut and serve.
Do not cut pizza on the baking pan. For best results, use nylon, plastic, wooden, or rubber utensils. Do not use metal utensils
as they may scratch the nonstick surface.
Important Information
Never leave unit unattended. Pizza ingredients and other foods burn and smoke when overcooked and in extreme situations may even
ignite. The amount of rising that occurs on rising crust pizzas varies from pizza to pizza. In rare instances, at the end of the cooking cycle,
a rising crust may rise so high that it touches the upper heating element, scorching the crust and overcooking the pizza toppings. This
situation can be avoided simply by turning the timer dial to “0” before the overcooking/over-rising occurs.
Do not preheat rotating oven. With the Pizzazz Plus rotating oven, no preheating is necessary. Preheating an empty baking pan may
damage the pan finish.
Never use the Pizzazz Plus rotating oven to cook or grill raw fish, poultry, or meats (e.g., bacon, chicken, hamburgers, or steaks)
as this may damage the unit.
Never wrap baking pan or any portion of the rotating oven with aluminum foil.
Never operate the unit if the pan is not rotating.
Close adult supervision is necessary whenever using this appliance with children present.
Never touch the food or any metal parts on the unit while it is operating. They are very hot.
Always remove baking pan from unit when baking is completed. Operating the rotating oven with an empty baking pan or placing
an empty baking pan on the unit before the unit has cooled may result in damage to the baking pan finish.

Pizza Cooking Chart
The following times are for cooking 9- to 12-inch pizzas. The times are approximate. If cooking 7- or 8-inch pizzas, you may need to reduce the cooking
times by one to two minutes. When the cheese is melted and bubbling, the pizza is done. At the end of the cooking time, if you would like a crispier
crust, slide the switch to LOWER; if you would like the toppings more done, slide the switch to UPPER. Then reset the timer by turning it beyond “4”
and then back to one or two minutes and cook until pizza is done to your satisfaction. NOTE: When using the Pizzazz
Plus rotating oven, the cooking
times will generally be shorter than if cooking the pizza in a conventional oven. To avoid overcooking, never leave unit unattended.

Care and Cleaning
1. Always remove baking pan from unit when baking is completed.
2. Unplug rotating oven from outlet and allow entire unit to cool completely before cleaning.
3. Wash the nonstick baking pan after each use in warm, sudsy water to remove grease and food residue, rinse, and dry. If necessary,
the pan may be cleaned with a nylon mesh pad.
4. Occasionally, wipe the exterior of the rotating oven with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Never immerse the rotating oven, except
the baking pan, in water or other liquid. Do not wash in the dishwasher.
5. If necessary, the outer rim of the element trays may be cleaned with a nylon mesh pad to remove any food residue. Do not use steel
wool scouring pads or abrasive kitchen cleansers on any part of the rotating oven.
Questions and Answers
When I plug in my rotating oven and set the timer, the pan does not rotate or only rotates partially and then stops. Why?
1. The baking pan may not be positioned correctly on the unit. In order for the pan to rotate, the pan hub must be seated over the drive
shaft (Fig. B, page 2). Reposition the pan using the instructions on page 2.
2. The pan may possibly be damaged. Feel around the inside and outside edge of the pan for any dents. In addition, set the pan upside
down on a flat surface to see if it sits level. If there are any dents in the pan edge or if the pan wobbles when set upside down on a
flat surface, the pan may only rotate partially and then stall. If your pan is damaged, it will need to be replaced in order for the unit
to function correctly.
The baking pan rotates, but my pizza/food does not cook. Why?
1. You have failed to turn on the timer past the 4-minute mark. The timer has a dual function. Once the timer is set, the heating elements
will turn on and begin cooking the pizza/food. When the time has expired, the timer will ring and the heating elements will shut off.
2. The heat element selector switch may be between two settings. Slide the switch to the appropriate setting (LOWER–DUAL–UPPER).
My pizza does not cook evenly. What am I doing wrong?
1. If the bottom is done and the top isn’t, or if the top is done and the bottom isn’t, you probably have not selected the correct setting
for the type of pizza you are cooking. Refer to the cooking chart on page 4 or on the back of the rotating oven for recommended
guidelines. Most pizzas should be cooked using the dual setting for part of the cooking time.
2. The ingredients on your pizza are not distributed evenly. If that is the case, allow the pizza to cook slightly and then redistribute the
ingredients with a fork. This will allow the pizza to cook more evenly.
How do I get a crispier crust or make my toppings browner?
Always begin cooking your pizza using the recommended settings in the cooking chart on page 4 or on the back of the rotating oven.
Then, at the end of the recommended cooking time if you would like a crispier crust, slide the switch to LOWER; if you would like the
toppings more done, slide the switch to UPPER. Then reset the timer by turning it beyond “4” and then back to one or two minutes and
cook until pizza is done to your satisfaction. To avoid overcooking, never leave unit unattended.
When making cookies and cinnamon rolls, the inside seems doughy or the bottom gets too done. What am I doing wrong?
You probably have not selected the correct setting. When baking refrigerated cookie dough and cinnamon rolls, bake according to the
chart on page 4. Begin using the UPPER setting, then partway through the cooking time, switch to the DUAL setting.
When I cook rising crust pizza, sometimes the crust seems doughy or sometimes the crust doesn’t rise very much. Why?
Your problem is caused by one of two things:
1. You did not follow the recommended cooking settings. Cook 9- to 12-inch pizzas 10 to 12 minutes first on LOWER and then 10 to
12 minutes on DUAL.
2. The yeast in your pizza crust is no longer fully active. The amount of rising and the consistency of a rising crust is dependent upon
the conditions of the yeast. Freshness, freezer temperatures, packaging (vacuum packaged is best), and original dough quality are all
important factors. Generally, more consistent results will be secured by nationally branded pizzas since they abide by more rigorous
packaging and quality standards than many regional/grocery store pizzas.
