IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against electrical hazards, do not immerse cord, plugs, or the appliance in
water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting
on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance
malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to Salton for
examination, repair or adjustment. See Warranty.
7. The use of accessories or attachments not recommended by Salton may cause fire,
electric shock or injury.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.

POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only
one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.

HOW TO USE
How to Cook Pizza
1. Make sure the Timer is in the 'Off' position.
2. Plug the Oven into a 120 volt wall outlet.
3. Turn the Temperature Dial to the required temperature.
4. Turn the Timer to 15 minutes to preheat the oven and the Pizza Stone.
The Timer bell will ring when the 15 minutes has elapsed.
5. Pull out the Oven Drawer and slide the pizza onto the Pizza Stone.
NOTE: The Oven Handle will remain cool but oven mitts should be used
as all other inside parts of the oven will be very hot.
6. Reset the Timer for the required cooking time according to package or
recipe directions.
7. When the preset time has elapsed the Timer bell will sound.
8. Remove the pizza.
9. If the pizza is cooked before the time has elapsed, turn the Timer
counterclockwise to the '0' (Off) position
NOTE: Homemade pizza usually cooks in 30 - 40 minutes at the maximum
temperature. Frozen pizza usually cooks in 10 - 12 minutes at the maximum
temperature. These are only suggested times. The pizza should be
watched to prevent overcooking.
Helpful Hints:
• Do not leave the oven door open too long as this will cool down the
pizza stone.
• Place the pizza as far back on the Pizza Stone as possible.
• Remember, pizza does not have to be round. You can shape your
home-made pizza to fit the size of the Pizza Stone.
• When making home-made pizza, shape the outside edge of the dough
by folding over so ingredients do not leak off the edge of the pizza
when cooking.
How to Cook Toasted Sandwiches
1. Make sure the Timer is in the 'Off' position.
2. Plug the oven into a 120 volt wall outlet.
3. Turn the Temperature Dial to the required temperature.

CARE AND CLEANING
1. Turn the Timer Knob to the '0' (Off) position.
2. Unplug from wall outlet and let the Oven cool completely.
3. Wipe the outside of the oven and the glass door with a dampened cloth
or sponge. Never use sharp utensils to clean the Glass Door as scratching
may weaken it and cause it to shatter. NEVER IMMERSE THE PIZZA OVEN
BASE IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.
4. The pizza peel and the pizza cutter can be immersed in warm soapy water.
5. Wipe the Pizza Stone clean with a cloth dampened in warm water.
DO NOT USE SOAP. If ingredients have baked onto the Pizza Stone,
it can be immersed in clear water for a few minutes then wiped clean.
6. If the Pizza Stone has been immersed in water, it should not be used until
it has thoroughly dried. To dry the Pizza Stone, place it on a pie cooling
rack on your kitchen counter and allow it to stand overnight.

A short supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of becoming entangled
in or tripping over a long cord. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised
in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the
detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as
the electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounded type,
the extension cord should be a grounded 3-wire cord. The extension cord
should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top,
where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
