This equipment is intended to be used for cooking pizza and bread products
in direct contact with ceramic decks. It is not intended for household,
industrial or laboratory use.

Before using this equipment it must be cleaned and dried thoroughly.
This equipment is a medium duty appliance capable of a wide variety of

pizza/bake applications. The temperature is thermostatically controlled. The
temperature range is 140°F (60°C) and 750°F (399°C). The thermostat is
also the ON / OFF switch. An indicator lamp adjacent to the thermostat dial
indicates when the elements are heating.

WARNING

Burn Hazard.

Do not touch hot food, liquid or heating surfaces
while equipment is heating or operating.

Hot surfaces and food can burn skin. Allow the hot surfaces to cool
before handling. Do not drop or spill water onto the cooking surface
as it can spray or splatter.

Before initial use burn-in procedure:

1. Check that the ceramic decks (D) are clean and dry. See Figure 1.

2. Turn the thermostat control (B) to 400°F (204°C) for 45 minutes to 1 hour
with the oven door (F) open. You will notice odor appearing due to the
ceramic deck (cooking/baking surface) burning-in. This is normal.

3. Close the door (F) and turn the thermostat control (B) 500°F (260°C).
Run the oven for 2 hours.

Pizza and Baking Instructions and Tips:

Follow the cooking/baking instructions provided on pre-made pizza and other
food products.

The temperature range required for pizza baking is usually higher than for
general baking. Ideally pizza should cook at approximately 500°F (260°C) to
575°F (301°C).

The pizza should be allowed to bake until the cheese bubbles and the
bottom crust is brown.

1. Always ensure that the food products or pizza crust is fully defrosted
before baking.

2. Rotation of the pizza during the baking cycle is highly recommended.

3. Pizza with a heavy topping will require a longer baking time at a lower
temperature.

4. Cook food products in desired manner.

Do not spray water or cleaning products. Liquid could contact the
electrical components and cause a short circuit or an electrical
shock. Do not use equipment if power cord is damaged or has been
modied

NOTE:
Do not immerse the cord, plug or equipment in water or
any other liquid.

3. Using a damp cloth, sponge dipped in soapy water to clean the outside
of the equipment.

4. Use towels completely dry the equipment or allow to air dry completely.

The spillage on the ceramic decks should be cleaned periodically. Generally
this can be scrapped out but for hard to clean spillage the following is
recommended :

1. Turn the unit to the maximum temperature for 30 minutes.

2. Allow the unit to cool down.

3. Brush the residue from the deck.

The oven door may be removed for cleaning.

To remove and install the oven door:

1. Allow the equipment to cool completely before removing the door.

2. Open the door (B). See Figure 2
