Getting Started
Before First Use
Prior to using your Pizza Oven, please read all safety and operating instructions thoroughly.
Please ensure you follow the steps below before using this appliance. We recommend you keep
the original packaging for storing your Pizza Oven when not in use.
1. Unpack the product but keep all packaging material until you have made sure your new Pizza
Oven is undamaged and in good working order. Plastic wrapping can be a suocation hazard
for babies and young children so ensure all packaging materials are out of their reach.
2. Remove the twist-tie which is securing the electrical cord. Uncoil the cord and straighten it
to remove any kinks. Do not use the product if these parts are damaged. In case of damage,
phone the After Sales Support line.
3. Wipe the exterior housing and inner surface of the Pizza Oven with a damp cloth and then
dry thoroughly. Do not immerse it in water or other liquids.
4. Wash the removable pizza pan in warm soapy water prior to rst use.
5. Plug the power cord into a power outlet and switch on.
6. Place the pizza stone on the rotary base and then switch on the dual heating elements, set
temperature control dial to 150°C and set timer dial for 15 minutes. This will burn o any
lubricants from the Pizza Oven’s heating elements and will also help to seal the pizza stone.
NOTE: You may notice a slight odour being emitted from the Pizza Oven during the initial
use. This is normal and the odour will cease with continued use.

Instructions
Timer
The timer can be set for up to 30 minutes. The elements will only begin to heat once the
timer has been set, and the lid shut. Once the timer has nished counting down, heating will
automatically stop and the bell will ring to indicate the timer has elapsed.
Temperature Control Dial
Set your desired heating temperature, from 0 up to 250°C.
Heating Elements
Dual – Operates both the lower and upper heating elements.
Lower – Operates the lower heating element for cooking the base of the pizza.
Upper – Operates the upper heating element for cooking the toppings of the pizza.
OFF – Turns heating elements o.
Cooking on the Pizza Stone
1. Plug the power cord into a power outlet and switch on.
2. The control dials should all be set at the OFF position – lift the lid and ensure the pizza stone
is sitting correctly on the rotary base, and there is nothing else in the Pizza Oven.
3. Pre-heat the Pizza Oven by turning the temperature control dial to 150 °C and then set your
timer to at least 5 minutes. When cooking with the pizza stone, make sure dual heating
element mode is selected.
TIP: Pre-heating your oven before use will ensure better results.
4. If you are cooking fresh dough pizza, lightly coat the surface of the stone with some plain
our before placing the pizza directly onto the surface of the pizza stone.
CAUTION: If making your own pizza, it is recommended to make it on a separate board and
then transfer it to the pizza stone once you are ready to cook. Be careful not to over-ll or
mount your toppings too high – the toppings should always be below the height of the top
heating element to avoid burning them.
WARNING: The pizza stone will be hot after the pre-heat. DO NOT TOUCH IT AT ANYTIME
DURING THE COOKING PROCESS.

Instructions (cont)
5. If you are cooking frozen pizza, make sure it has completely thawed, then slide directly onto
the pizza stone.
6. Close the lid of your Pizza Oven and then select the desired temperature and time. As
a guide, for a pizza with medium base try 20 minutes at 200 °C. As every pizza will have
dierent thickness and topping levels, some pizzas may cook faster than others.
7. If you see the toppings cooking too fast and starting to burn, adjust the temperature to a
lower setting. If it is cooking too slowly, adjust the temperature to a higher setting to raise the
cooking temperature.
TIP: When you see that the toppings have cooked, switch o the top element and leave the
lower heating element on for a further 3-5 minutes to cook the base.
8. Once you have nished cooking your pizza, turn all the control dials to OFF, lift the lid and
remove the pizza with a spatula.
Cooking on the Pizza Pan
1. Please ensure the pizza pan has been washed in warm soapy water prior to using for the rst
time.
2. Place the pizza pan onto the rotary base, ensuring it sits correctly.
3. Pre-heat the Pizza Oven for at least 5 minutes at 150 °C. Use both top and lower heating
elements when cooking with the pizza pan.
4. Transfer your fresh pizza (or frozen pizza ensuring that it is fully thawed) to the pizza pan after
the pre-heat has completed.
5. Follow the same steps as cooking with the pizza stone, steps 6-8.

Homemade Pizza Dough
Ingredients
1 ½ cups warm water
2 tsp dried yeast
3 ½ cups plain our
2 tbsp salt
2 tbsp olive oil
Method
1. Place the our, yeast and salt into a large bowl and mix well.
2. Make a well in the centre of the our, yeast and salt mixture, then add the water and olive oil.
The water needs to be warm to activate the yeast and encourage it to grow. If the water is too
hot it can kill the yeast. Use a wooden spoon to stir until combined and then use your hands
to bring the dough together in the bowl. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky.
3. Move the dough to a lightly oured surface and knead for 3 minutes or until the dough is
almost smooth. If the dough seems a little too wet then sprinkle a bit more our.
4. Place the ball of dough in a bowl that has been coated lightly with olive oil. Turn the dough
around in the bowl so that it gets coated with the oil. Cover with plastic wrap and let it sit in a
warm place (ideally 30°C) until it doubles in size (approx. 1 – 1.5 hours).
