The pizza oven is designed to make delicious pizza from fresh dough and frozen pizza bases.
When using a frozen pizza base, allow the base to thaw before placing in the oven. This will result
in a crispy pizza. When cooking fresh dough, lightly flour the stone and paddles before placing the
dough directly onto the stone.
Do not use sticky dough on the stone or pizza paddles. If the dough is sticky, add more flour to the
dough to prevent sticking.

Before first use
1. Remove and discard any packaging material, promotional labels and tape from the unit.
2. Remove all accessories from the package and read this manual carefully. Please pay
particular attention to operational instructions, warnings and important safeguards to avoid
injury or property damage.
3. Wipe the exterior housing and inner surface of the pizza oven with a soft, damp cloth and dry
thoroughly. Do not immerse in water or other liquids.
4. Remove the pizza stone from the pizza maker and wipe it with a soft, damp cloth and dry
thoroughly.
5. Re-insert the pizza stone into the oven and close the lid. Make sure the pizza stone is sitting
securely on the base.
6. Now you’re ready to do a short test run. Turn the temperature dials to 400°C and let your
oven run for 10 minutes with the lid closed. This will burn off any lubricants from the oven’s
heating elements and will also help to pre-season the pizza stone. This will not affect the
performance of your oven, nor will it be necessary to repeat this process in the future.
To start cooking
1. Ensure the temperature control knobs
are off and the pizza oven is empty.
Place the appliance on a stable and level
surface 30cm away from the wall and any
surrounding objects. Make sure the pizza
stone is inserted securely inside the pizza
oven with the handles on the left and
right sides. This is the only way it will sit
properly.
400°C
3. Prepare the pizza base with your favourite toppings and transfer the pizza to the ceramic
stone in the preheated oven. Use the paddles, if necessary, to assist placement of the pizza.
To avoid burning, don’t overfill the pizza with toppings, and be sure to spread sauce and
toppings no further than an inch from the edge of the dough. If using frozen pizza, let it
defrost before placing it on the pizza stone.
4. Close the lid and allow the pizza to cook for four to five minutes at 400°C.
5. Some pizzas may cook quicker than others. You can check cooking progress through the
window on the lid. It’s recommended that you open the lid after three minutes to check
progress. If the pizza is not ready, simply close the lid and continue cooking.
6. If cooking multiple pizzas, leave the lid open and allow the oven to cool for a few minutes
before adding the next pizza.
Wolstead Rapido Pizza Oven OWNER’S MANUAL6
2. Insert the power plug into a power outlet.
The power indicator lights will go on.
Turn both temperature knobs fully
clockwise to 400°C. The heat indicator
lights will go on, indicating that your pizza
oven is preheating. Preheat for 10 minutes
until the temperature gauge reaches
between 300°C to 400°C. Preheating the
oven will achieve better baking results.

7. If the pizza is cooking too quickly, simply turn the heat setting down. If the pizza is cooking
unevenly, using both pizza peels, insert them under the pizza and gently rotate the pizza. If you
are noticing large air bubbles in the dough, it’s recommended to use a fork to prick and flatten the
bubbles before closing the lid.
WARNING: The pizza stone and handles can get extremely hot. Please use heat resistant gloves
or oven mitts to lift the stone and when opening and closing the lid of the oven. Steam can build
up under the lid so exercise caution when opening during use.
8. When your pizza is cooked, turn both knobs
to the OFF position. Open the lid and use the
peels to lift the pizza off the stone and place
it on a plate or cutting board.
NOTE: Never use a knife or pizza cutter on the
ceramic stone as this could damage the surface.
Remove the pizza from the stone prior to cutting.
Cooking guide
The following table should be used as a guide only. It does not allow for individual tastes and
preferences. The time may vary due to the size, shape and thickness of the pizza. As you become
familiar with the pizza maker, adjust the cooking times and temperature on the variable temperature
control accordingly.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
1. After each use, unplug the appliance and let it cool. Do not touch the appliance surface or
clean the oven until all parts have cooled down to room temperature.
2. To clean the outside use a damp cloth. Never dip or immerse the pizza oven into water or any
other liquids. This could cause electrical shock and damage to the oven. A non-abrasive liquid
cleanser may be used to avoid build-up of food residue and stains.
3. Pizza stones are porous and will naturally absorb fats and oils. It is normal for them to
accumulate stains from dripping cheese and fatty toppings. This will not affect the taste of the
pizza or the performance of the stone. However, cooking residue may create excess smoke
and odour to form when in use. To clean the stone, scrape off any excess food with a spatula
or bristled brush and wipe clean with a paper towel or clean dish cloth. Never use cooking oil,
water or detergents on the ceramic stone. Immersing the pizza stone in water could cause
it to crack. Cleaning liquids or detergents will absorb into the stone and transfer to the pizza
during baking.
4. To clean the paddles, wash them in warm water and mild dishwashing liquid. Dry thoroughly.
Never allow them to stand in water as saturation will damage the paddles.
5. Never use the stone for any purpose other than the intended use. Do not use it as a trivet or as
a cutting stone.
6. The viewing window and rear vent area will darken from cooking vapours with ongoing use.
To clean, make a paste from two teaspoons of baking soda, one teaspoon of white vinegar
and one teaspoon of water. Rub the paste onto the viewing window or rear vent area and wipe
clean with a damp cloth.
7. Do not use abrasive cleaners, metal scouring pads, or metal utensils on any part of the oven,
pizza stone and other accessories. These will scratch or damage their surfaces.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Here are some possible issues with your pizza oven and solutions for troubleshooting. If problems
persist or the machine is seriously damaged, please contact Kitchen Warehouse Customer Service
for assistance.
Issue Possible solution
Make sure the cable is properly connected to the
Unit does not switch on
Top of the pizza burns or smokes
Bottom of pizza is burning
Heating light does not stay on
The ceramic pizza stone is dirty or stained
electrical outlet.
Check that the outlet is working by testing it with
another device.
Turn the upper heating element temperature
down or turn it off completely.
Ensure you do not overload the pizza with
toppings sitting too high and too close to the
upper heating element.
The lower heating element may be burning the
base. Turn the lower element temperature down,
or switch it off completely and only cook using
the upper heating element.
This is an automatic thermostat light. The
heating light will turn on and off during normal
usage. The heating light will only turn on when
the unit is in the heating cycle. It will turn off
when the oven has reached the specified
temperature.
The porous nature of ceramic pizza stones
means that they will mark after the first use and
continue doing so every time you use the oven.
This is normal. Just be sure to scrape off any
excess food residue after every use and wipe the
surface with a damp cloth when the oven is cool.
Always clean your stone between uses to remove
Unit is smoking
any stuck on food particles or residue to avoid
smoke and safety hazards.
