General Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
Read this manual thoroughly before rst use, even if you are familiar with this type
of product. The safety precautions enclosed herein reduce the risk of re, electric
shock and injury when correctly adhered to. Keep the manual in a safe place for
future reference, along with the completed warranty card and purchase receipt. If
applicable, pass these instructions on to the next owner of the appliance.
Always follow basic safety precautions and accident prevention measures
when using an electrical appliance, including the following:
Placement
Position
• Any adjacent benchtop surfaces, panels, laminates and adhesives must be
made of heat-resistant material.
• Keep combustible materials, such as curtains, drapes, furniture, pillows,
clothing, linens, bedding, paper, etc., at least 90 cm from the front, sides and
rear of the pizza oven.
Ventilation requirements
• Heat, steam and moisture will be created during use of the pizza oven. Take
care to avoid injury and ensure the room is adequately ventilated.
• The appliance must be placed on a at, dry surface. Ensure there is at least
10 cm of space on both sides and 15 cm of space above the pizza oven.
Electrical connection
• Ensure there is an earthed socket nearby.
• A dedicated power circuit is recommended for the unit but not required.
Additional electrical appliances on the same circuit may exceed the current
(amperage) rating for that circuit. If after the installation of your oven the
circuit breaker trips or the fuse fails on a repeated basis, then a dedicated
circuit will likely be required.
• The unit’s power cord must be connected to a properly grounded and
protected, 240 V~ electrical outlet. Always use ground fault protection where
required by the electrical code.
• The mains socket must be within easy reach so that the plug can easily be
removed if necessary.
• The outlet voltage and circuit frequency must correspond to the voltage
stated on the appliance rating label.

Do not kink, squash or strain the power cord and protect it from sharp edges
and heat.
• If winding the power cord, avoid tight bends as this could damage the cord.
• Regularly check the power cord for damage. If the supply cord is damaged,
it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly
qualied persons in order to avoid a hazard or injury.
• Do not connect the appliance to an extension cord or plug adaptor, which
may overheat and cause a re.

BEFORE FIRST USE
• Read the manual: The best way to familiarise yourself with all the parts and
operating principles of your new electric oven is to read this manual. Pay
particular attention to the safety instructions on pages 5–8. Refer to pages
9–10 for an illustration and list of all parts and buttons.
• Clean the pizza stone: Remove the pizza stone from its packaging. Gently
wipe it with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly, and place the pizza stone back into
the oven.
• Placement: Place the appliance on a at, dry surface. Ensure there is at least
10 cm of space on both sides and 15 cm of space above the pizza oven.
• Initial use: Unwind the power cord completely and insert the plug into a
standard household power outlet. An alert will sound, and the TIME dial lights
will illuminate and then turn o.
When you rst switch on the pizza oven, it may give o an unpleasant smell
and/or a little smoke. Open a window or switch on any ventilation in the
room. Heat the pizza oven in pizza mode at a temperature of 400°C following
the instructions on the next pages. Leave the oven on for 20 minutes, or
until no more odour or smoke is present. We recommend you leave the
room during this burning o process. However, any smoke and odour
development during this initial use is normal and completely harmless.
CAUTION!
Take care to avoid burns, the pizza oven becomes very hot
during use.

PIZZA STYLES
180℃
This mode will provide cooking results similar to that achieved in a traditional
style oven.
Wood Fired
This mode provides extremely high heat. It is ideal if you like your pizzas with
a cooked yet malleable crust, with distinct blisters.
Please note: This product does NOT utilize any wood or wood by-
product. The term “Wood Fired” refers to the specic heat performance
characteristics of this oven that replicate that of a wood red brick oven.
Thin & Crispy
This mode is ideal for cooking a crispy pizza, using dough that has been
rolled out in a thin, even layer. The sauce/toppings should be spread/placed
right to the edge of the pizza.
Thick Crust
This mode is designed to work best with a thicker, less hydrated dough
forming a uy yet sturdy base for a generous amount of toppings.
Pan
This mode is ideal for cooking a pizza with a crunchy base, uy dough, and
plenty of toppings, with sauce almost to the edge of the crust.
Frozen
This mode provides great frozen pizza results, using a lower temperature than
the other modes.

Instructions (Cont.)
USING THE PIZZA STONE
Always ensure that the pizza stone is in place when using the pizza pan. For
pan style pizza, the pizza should be prepared in the (unheated) pizza pan and
then placed in the preheated oven.
Alternatively, the pan can be preheated before adding foodstu to achieve a
deeper char.
USING THE FRY BASKET
Ensure the pan is in the oven when using the fry basket to avoid spillage and
damage to the heating element.
USING THE TIMER
The timer is designed to alert you when your pizza is ready.
The recommended time will illuminate on the display screen (this time will
depend on the selected pizza style - page 15) but can be adjusted before or
during cooking to suit your preference.
Press the MENU/TIME/TEMP dial to start the timer. The timer can be stopped
at any time by turning this dial counterclockwise until the timer display reads
1 min.
USING THE OVEN LIGHT
Press the oven light button at any stage to turn the internal light on or o.

Table 2: Troubleshooting
Problem Potential Solution
The pizza oven won’t
switch on.
Check that the power plug is securely inserted into
a working outlet.
Insert the power plug into a dierent outlet, or try
an outlet in a dierent circuit.
Reset the circuit breaker if necessary.
The “AT
TEMPERATURE” light
is ashing.
This indicates that the oven is outside the desired
temperature for cooking. Wait until the “preheating”
light illuminates solidly before adding your pizza.
Steam is coming out
of the pizza oven door.
This is normal. The door is vented to release steam
created from high moisture content foods.
If this causes moisture to form on the bench top
around the base of the product, wipe it up.
Smoke is coming out
of pizza oven.
This is a normal occurrence during cooking due to
the extremely high temperatures. To reduce this, try
to limit the amount of our/semolina used on your
peel. It is also recommended to use the oven in a
well-ventilated area.
There is a re in the
pizza oven.
Immediately close the door if it is still open. If the
re does not self-extinguish within 20 seconds,
unplug the unit and keep the door closed until the
re is out. Use an appropriate re extinguisher if the
re does not self-extinguish.
If you experience problems with your pizza oven, or it appears to be operating
incorrectly, see below for solutions to common problems.
