PAge heAder.....
NOTE
When switched on for the first time,
the pizza oven may give of vapors
for a short period of time. This is
due to the oil residue that may have
been used in the manufacturing
process. This is not detrimental to the
performance of the pizza oven and
will dissipate with use.
3. The heating indicator light will
illuminate when the pizza oven is
preheating. Recommend pre-heating
for at least 30 minutes when first
switched on.
4. Turn the variable temperature control
to either THIN, MEDIUM or THICK
crust range to suit your pizza preference.
Temperature increases as selector dial
is turned clockwise. When selecting
MEDIUM or THICK crusts, allow pizza
oven to stand for 5 minutes to adjust to
selected heat setting before starting
to cook.
OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE PRODUCT
BEFORE FIRST USE
Before using the pizza oven for the first time,
remove and safely discard any packaging
material, promotional labels and ensure the

oven and wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Dry
thoroughly. Wipe the interior surfaces of
the pizza oven with a soft, damp cloth. Dry
thoroughly. Re-insert the pizza stone and
close the lid.
There is no need to season the pizza stone
before using it for the first time.
The stone will season itself over time with
repetitive use.
Residue flour or semolina used to roll out
the dough will be enough to prevent the
pizza dough from sticking.
THE PIZZA OVEN IS NOW READY

Do not lean or stand over the pizza
oven when opening the lid as steam
may be released.
NOTE
The heating indicator light may turn
on and off during operation. This is the
automatic thermostat light indicating
that the correct temperature is being
maintained.
5. Place fresh pizza dough directly onto a
floured pizza peel and roll out to desired
thickness. Prick pizza dough evenly with
a docker or a fork. Assemble ingredients
onto pizza dough and transfer pizza onto
pizza stone.
NOTE
If cooking a pre-purchased pizza,
ensure that all packaging materials
are removed before cooking. Some
pre-purchased pizzas are packed on
a sheet of paper or polystyrene which
may stick to the dough of the pizza or
to the pizza stone.
6. Carefully close the lid and cook to
desired cooking time (see cooking table
on page 14 for suggested cooking times).
Use the viewing window to check on the
cooking progress.
7. When the pizza is cooked to desired
doneness, carefully open the lid using
oven mitts. Do not lean or stand over
the pizza oven when opening the lid as
steam may be released.

heat proof spatula.
9. To prevent smoking and burning, scrape
off hot melted cheese and ingredients
that may have fallen onto the stone after
each pizza has been cooked.
NOTE
Never use a knife or pizza cutter on
the stone as this could damage the
fine-grain cooking surface. Remove
the pizza from the stone prior to
cutting.
NOTE
The pizza stone will darken in color
with use. This is a normal part of the
natural seasoning process. Scrape the
pizza stone after each use.

transferring your pizza onto the pizza stone
is with the use of a pizza peel. If you do not
have a pizza peel or find it difficult to use,
follow this optional alternative method.
1. Follow Operating Instructions 1–4.
2. Place fresh pizza dough directly onto a
large square of parchment paper the size
of the pizza stone and roll out to desired
thickness. Prick pizza base evenly with
a docker or a fork. Assemble ingredients
onto the pizza base and transfer the
pizza and parchment paper onto the
pizza stone.
NOTE
Wax paper should not be used as a
replacement for parchment paper.
3. Carefully close the lid and cook for
2 minutes; open lid, using oven mitts
and gently slide parchment paper out,
leaving the pizza inside the pizza oven.
Close the lid again and cook to desired
cooking time (see cooking table on
page 14 for suggested cooking times).
NOTE
The parchment paper must be
removed after 2 minutes of cook time.
If the paper is left in, it could char and
cause the oven to smoke.
4. Follow Operating Instructions 7–9 for
the remainder of the cooking process.

CARE, CLEANING AND STORAGE
CARE AND CLEANING THE
PIZZA STONE
Pizza stones are porous and will absorb
fats and oils. It is normal for pizza stones 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 odor to form.
To remove stains, cool stone completely and
follow instructions below:
1. Small stains can be cleaned easily by
scrubbing with a toothbrush and a
paste made from equal parts of baking
soda and water. Work in small circles
until stains are removed. Wipe clean
with a damp cloth and dry completely
before reusing.
2. To remove burnt on food, use a scouring
pad lightly over stubborn areas.
3. If the accumulation is heavy, use a hard
abrasive paper like sand paper to clean
the surface.
4. Make sure to wipe the stone clean with
a damp cloth and allow plenty of time
for the stone to dry out completely
before use.
NOTE
Do not immerse the pizza stone in
water or use cleaning liquids or
detergents. 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.
CLEANING AFTER USE
1. Always ensure the pizza oven ON|OFF
switch is set to the OFF position and
the power cord is unplugged prior to
moving or cleaning.
2. While stone is still warm, scrape off any
cheese or pizza ingredients that may
have fallen onto the stone.
3. Allow the pizza oven to cool completely.
CLEANING THE OUTER BODY
1. After each use, wipe the outer body with
a soft, damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
A non-abrasive liquid cleanser may be
used to avoid build-up of food residue
and stains.
2. Allow all parts and surfaces to dry
thoroughly before plugging the pizza
oven in and using.
CLEANING THE INTERIOR
To clean any food splattering, wipe the
interior with a soft cloth dampened with
warm water. Dry thoroughly.
CLEANING THE VIEWING WINDOW
AND REAR VENT AREA
Viewing window and rear vent area will
darken from cooking vapors with
ongoing use.
To clean, make a paste from 2 teaspoons
baking soda, 1 teaspoon white vinegar and
1 teaspoon of water.
Rub paste onto viewing window or rear vent
area and wipe clean with a damp cloth.
IMPORTANT
It is important to do this process
regularly and always once the pizza
oven has completely cooled.

17
PAge heAder.....
CARE, CLEANING AND STORAGE
NOTE
For a deep clean, prepare a paste by
mixing Lcup of baking soda with
3 tablespoons of water. Apply the
paste to the desired areas of the pizza
stone and leave for 15–20 minutes.
Scrape off excess paste and food from
the surface of the pizza stone. Using a
damp cloth, wipe off excess food, and
dry thoroughly.
Do not reverse pizza stone to cook on
the clean side if it becomes stained or
discolored.
STORAGE
When storing the pizza oven, remove the
power plug from the power outlet. Ensure
the appliance is completely cool, clean and
dry. Ensure the lid is closed and do not
place any objects on top. Store the appliance
standing on its support legs.
