OPERATION
• Diameter and thickness of the finished product is determined through the dough weight, dough
temperature, press time and thickness setting. It is recommended to use trial and error to determine
the most consistent product.
• Use proofed pizza dough of at least room temperature. Do NOT use frozen dough.
Frozen dough can damage the unit and void the warranty.
• Do not use metal utensils on the unit. Metal utensils can scratch and damage the stainless-steel
platens.
1. Set the desired dough thickness by turning the thickness adjustment knob. For thinner dough, turn
the knob clockwise. For thicker dough, turn the knob counterclockwise.
2. Apply food-safe oil on the upper & lower platens.
3. Place the proofed portioned dough ball in the center of the platen. Add a small amount of food-safe
oil on the top of the dough ball.
NOTE: DO NOT dust the platens or dough ball with flour.
4. Pull down the upper platen all the way by applying pressure to the top handle with both hands.
5. Hold the handle down for desired time. Recommended time is 10-12 seconds. The warmer the
dough, the shorter the required press time.
CAUTION: Please keep hands away from pressing platens when you press down the handle. It can
cause serious injury.
6. Raise the handle all the way up and remove the flattened dough.
7. Since the platens are not heated, this unit will only press dough to about 60% of the finished size.
To reach finished size, stretch or hand toss the dough.
NO HEATED PLATENS (348DPC18NH)

OPERATION
• DO NOT touch the heated upper platen. It is hot and can burn the user.
• Diameter and thickness of the finished product is determined through the dough weight, dough
temperature, press time, thickness setting, & temperature. It is recommended to use trial and error
to determine the most consistent product.
• Only use proofed pizza dough of at least refrigerated temperature. Do NOT use frozen dough.
Frozen dough can damage the unit and void the warranty.
• To use no heated platens, unplug the unit and follow the “No Heated Platens” operating instructions.
• Do not use metal utensils on the unit. Metal utensils can scratch and damage the stainless-steel
platens.
1. Plug the cord of the unit into a grounded electrical outlet and turn on the unit by pressing the red on/
off switch on the right side. After the unit is turned on, the upper platen begins to heat automatically. It
usually takes between 15-30 minutes for the unit to heat up to the set temperature.
NOTE: Please close the upper heating platen before turning on the machine.
2. To switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius, press the purple “UNIT SWITCH” button.
3. Set the desired temperature using the “TEMP” controls. A temperature of 150 degrees Fahrenheit
is acceptable for most pizza dough. Generally, colder dough needs a higher press temperature than
warmer dough. However, it is recommended to use trial and error to determine the best temperature
setting.
4. Set the desired press time using the “TIMER” controls. Generally, a press time of 2-8 seconds is
acceptable with less time for warm dough and more time for cold dough. However, it is recommended
to use trial and error to determine the best timer setting.
5. Set the desired dough thickness by turning the thickness adjustment knob. For thinner dough,
turn the knob clockwise. For thicker dough, turn the knob counterclockwise.
6. Apply food safe oil on the upper & lower platens.
7. Place the proofed portioned dough ball in the center of the platen. Add a small amount of food-safe
oil on the top of the dough ball.
NOTE: DO NOT dust the platens or dough ball with flour.
8. Pull down the upper platen all the way by applying pressure to the top handle with both hands.
CAUTION: Please keep hands away from pressing platens when you press down the handle. It can
cause serious injury.
9. Hold the handle down until the timer reaches 0 and the unit beeps.
10. After the unit beeps, raise the handle all the way up and remove the flattened dough. Dough is now
ready for the final finishing touches.
UPPER HEATED PLATEN (348DPC18P)

8
OPERATION
• DO NOT touch the heated upper & lower platens. They are hot and can burn the user.
• Diameter and thickness of the finished product is determined through the dough weight,
dough temperature, press time, thickness setting, & temperature. It is recommended to use
trial and error to determine the most consistent product.
• Only use proofed pizza or flour tortilla dough of at least refrigerated temperature.
DO NOT use frozen dough. Frozen dough can damage the unit and void the warranty.
• To use only the upper heated platen, press the orange “BOTTOM HEATING” button. The indicator
light will then turn off and the lower platen will no longer heat. Then follow the “Upper Heated Platens”
operating instructions.
• To use no heated platens, unplug the unit and follow the “No Heated Platens” operating instructions.
• Do not use metal utensils on the unit. Metal utensils can scratch and damage the stainless-steel platens.
1. Plug the cord of the unit into a grounded electrical outlet and turn on the unit by pressing the red
on/off switch on the right side. After the unit is turned on, the upper & lower platens begin to heat
automatically. It usually takes between 15-30 minutes for the unit to heat up to the set temperature.
NOTE: Please close the upper heating platen before turning on the machine.
2. To switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius, press the purple “UNIT SWITCH” button.
3. Set the desired temperature using the “TEMP” controls. Make sure that the orange “BOTTOM
HEATING” indicator light is on to indicate that the temperature is set for both platens. A temperature
of 325 degrees Fahrenheit is acceptable for most flour tortilla dough & 150 degrees Fahrenheit for
pizza dough. Generally, colder dough needs a higher press temperature than warmer dough. However,
it is recommended to use trial and error to determine the best temperature setting.
4. Set the desired press time using the “TIMER” controls. Generally, a press time of 2-10 seconds
is acceptable with a less time for warm dough and more time for cold dough. However, it is
recommended to use trial and error to determine the best timer setting.
5. Set the desired dough thickness by turning the thickness adjustment knob. For thinner dough,
turn the knob clockwise. For thicker dough, turn the knob counterclockwise.
6. Apply food-safe oil on the upper & lower platens.
7. Place the proofed portioned dough ball in the center of the platen. Add a small amount of food-safe
oil on the top of the dough ball.
NOTE: DO NOT dust the platens or dough ball with flour.
8. Pull down the upper platen all the way by applying pressure to the top handle with both hands.
CAUTION: Please keep hands away from pressing platens when you press down the handle.
It can cause serious injury.
9. Hold the handle down until the timer reaches 0 and the unit beeps.
10. After the unit beeps, raise the handle all the way up and remove the flattened dough.
The dough is now ready for final finishing touches.

• This unit allows users to save up to 6 temperature and timer programs.
• Turn off the machine and unplug it before cleaning and maintenance.
• DO NOT spray the machine with direct jets of water or using high pressure appliances.
1. Select the desired temperature unit in Fahrenheit or Celsius by pressing the purple
“UNIT SWITCH” button.
2. Press the program number button where you want the program to be saved. The temperature
display and time display will flash. Set the desired temperature by using the “TEMP” controls. Set the
desired time by using the “TIMER” controls.
3. After setting the desired temperature and time, the program will be saved automatically.
4. To use a saved program, press the program button number and the time and temperature will
automatically set. Follow the operating instructions for your unit.
NOTE: If a saved program is modified the original program will be replaced by the new program.
NOTE: The program used at the time of shutdown will be the program that starts automatically
when the machine is turned on.
1. Wait for the machine to cool. Opening the upper heating platen cools the machine quicker.
2. Remove the residues and oils from the upper and lower platens with a cloth soaked with
food-grade detergent.
3. Wipe the platens with a dry cloth.
4. Remove residues and oils from the exterior surfaces of the machine using a cloth soaked with
food-grade detergent.
• Allow the machine to cool for 2 minutes and then reset the circuit breaker by pressing the
