Safety Notes
The safety of electric appliances conforms to the recognized technical regulations and safety
laws. However, we kindly ask you and other users to pay attention to the following notes:
- Only connect the appliance to alternating current with a voltage that complies with this
appliance’s specs.
- Never place or use the appliance and/or cable on a hot surface or near open gas flames.
- Disconnect the main plug after use, before cleaning or in the event of a defect.
- Never immerse the appliance or cable in water and protect these objects from moisture.
- Children are not aware of the dangers of electrical appliances. Therefore, never allow
children (unattended or without supervision) to tamper with or handle the appliance. Never
allow the cable to hang down to the floor (to avoid possible accident). Take special care when
children are near.
- Packaging parts can be dangerous for children, keep away from children; this is a choking
hazard!
- Caution: The appliance becomes extremely hot during use. As long as the appliance is hot –
even if it’s disconnected from the power source –never leave it unattended. Accidental burns
can occur! Never put this appliance away when it is in a hot condition.
- Only operate the appliance with the terra-cotta dome in place.
- Caution! The terracotta dome is not break-resistant. Handle with care.
- If the appliance or cable shows obvious damage, have it checked out by an expert or the
customer service.
- We accept no liability for the appliance if it is used for purposes other than for which it is
intended; this product is not for incorrect use.
Caution:
- The knob on the terracotta dome becomes very hot. Always use a kitchen cloth or an oven mitt
while touching the knob!
- The hot terracotta dome can be raised with the handle of the pizza shovel and removed.

Pre-heating and Preparation
- Take the appliance and accessories carefully out of the packaging.
- Place the main appliance on the table.
- Place the clay slab on the 3 elevated metal brackets.
- Please ensure that while the oven is off (DO NOT do this step if the oven was turned
on at all in the last few hours, or while it is on. Make sure it is unplugged and that the surface is
cool before proceeding), look inside and make sure that the circular heating element is straight
and lifted evenly. It should be sitting flat and have space between the top of the heating
element and the bottom of the stone surface- they should not be touching whatsoever.
- Set the terracotta dome centered and on the edge of the clay slab. Make sure that it is on flat
surface or table. This appliance should not be used unless it is stable.
- Plug the electric plug into the wall outlet. The pizza stone can be started with the on/off
switch. Make sure that the pipe is not on the device surface.
- Clean all of the equipment (except for the electrical pieces) with hot water before using.
- The baking temperature is reached after a minimum heating period of 30 minutes (this will
ensure the mini-pizza cooks correctly, evenly, and as directed).
DO NOT PLACE YOUR MINI-PIZZAS IN THE OVEN BEFORE THE STONE IS PREHEATED
THE CORRECT AMOUNT.

Pizza Preparation and Baking
Pizza dough
- 30 oz. of white flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¾ oz. of yeast
- 0.5L of warm water (about 22° C)
- 1 Teaspoon of Olive Oil
Sieve the flour and make a hole in the middle. Sprinkle salt around the edges. Dissolve the
yeast in a little water and pour it into the hole. With a fork, push the flour from the edge into the
yeast while adding the water and oil. Mix thoroughly. When all ingredients are mixed, knead
the dough well by hand while continuing to knead, pull and stretch. Form the newly made
dough into a ball and leave it covered for 3 hours in a warm place until it has risen to double
the size. Roll the dough out (thin) and form mini-pizza shapes with the cutter and (with
greaseproof paper between each circle) stack them up.
Preparation
After the dough is ready to be garnished and dressed, please follow the next steps:
Sprinkle flour/cornmeal on the pizza shovel and on the bottom of the clay slab so that the
dough does not stick to it upon placing and removal. Place the mini-pizza dough on the pizza
shovel. Coat the pizza dough with tomato sauce (not too much- you should still be able to see
the dough beneath the sauce; a thin layer is more than enough), leaving an edge (for crust).
First top the mini-pizza with mozzarella (or the cheese you prefer) and then with the other
ingredients that you have chosen. It is recommended that you do not use a large amount of
ingredients on top of the mini-pizza dough. If you use too much cheese or sauce, the pizza
may come out soggy. When it comes to pizzas, less is more!
Pizza baking
Slide the mini-pizza on one of the trays in one of three dome openings and place the mini-
pizza on the stone. You can bake up to six personal mini-pizzas at the same time. To insert
and take out the mini-pizza, lift up the terracotta dome with the pizza shovel, or slide it through
the opening.
The baking depends on:
- the type of dough
- the pizza toppings (and the amount of toppings)
- the number of pizzas being baked at the same time
- area conditions (temperature, draft-free place, etc.)
After the oven is heated up the mini-pizza should be ready in about 7 minutes (depending on
variables). Do not forget to watch the baking procedure the entire time. It is best to slide the
hot mini-pizzas onto a flat plate. We hope you have a great time making pizza –and bon
appetit!
