hot, it may have caused the unit to overheat. Allow the unit to cool, if it is hot, and then press the reset button on the front of the unit.

The baking pan rotates, but my pizza does not cook. Why?

You have failed to turn on the timer. The timer has a dual function. Once the timer is set, the heating elements will turn on and begin cooking the pizza. When the time has expired, the timer will ring and the heating elements will shut off.

My pizza does not cook evenly. What am I doing wrong?

1. If the bottom is done and the top isn’t or if the top is done and the

bottom isn’t, you probably have not selected the correct setting

for the type of pizza you are cooking. Refer to the cooking chart

the baking pan, in water or other liquid. Do not wash in the dishwasher.

5.If necessary, the outer rim of the element trays may be cleaned with a nylon mesh pad to remove any food residue. Do not use steel wool scouring pads or abrasive kitchen cleansers on any part of the pizza oven.

Try this quick and easy recipe with your favorite toppings for a pizza with great homemade taste.

above or on back of pizza oven for recommended guidelines.

Most pizzas should be cooked using the dual setting for part of

the cooking time.

2. The ingredients on your pizza are not distributed evenly. If that

is the case, allow the pizza to cook slightly and then redistribute

the ingredients with a fork. This will allow the pizza to cook

more evenly.

How do I get a crispier crust or make my toppings browner?

Always begin cooking your pizza using the recommended settings in the cooking chart on page 2 or on back of pizza oven. Then at the

1loaf of frozen bread dough, thawed OR 12

(12 ounces) of Homestyle Pizza Dough Mix*. Prepare as directed.

12 cup commercial pizza sauce OR 12 cup tomato puree mixed with 12

Homestyle seasoning packet.

12 cup of favorite toppings (see suggestions below)

1 cup shredded part-skim milk mozzarella cheese

end of the recommended cooking time if you would like a crispier crust, slide the switch to LOWER; if you would like the toppings more done, slide the switch to UPPER. Then reset the timer by turning it past “6” and then back to 1 or 2 minutes and cook until pizza is done to your satisfaction. To avoid overcooking, do not leave unit unattended.

When I cook rising crust pizza, sometimes the crust seems doughy or sometimes the crust doesn’t rise very much. Why?

Your problem is caused by one of two things:

1.You did not follow the recommended cooking settings––cook 9- to 12-inch pizzas 10 to 12 minutes first on LOWER and then 10 to 12 minutes on DUAL. OR

2.The yeast in your pizza crust is no longer fully active. The amount of rising and the consistency of a rising crust is dependent upon the conditions of the yeast. Freshness, freezer temperatures, packaging (vacuum packaged is best), and original dough quality are all important factors. Generally, more consistent results will be secured by nationally branded pizzas since they abide by more rigorous packaging and quality standards than many regional/grocery store pizzas.

Can I use my PizzazzPizza Oven to reheat pizza or to cook other foods besides pizza?

Such use is not recommended. The product was designed for cooking whole (7- to 12-inch) pizzas. Reheating less than a whole pizza or cooking other foods will not cover the baking pan the way a whole pizza does. As a result, the pan’s finish may be damaged and the product itself may overheat, necessitating a cool down and use of the reset button.

Care and Cleaning

1.Always remove baking pan from unit when baking is completed.

2.Unplug pizza oven from outlet and allow entire unit to cool completely before cleaning.

3.Wash the nonstick baking pan in warm sudsy water, rinse, and dry.

4.Occasionally, wipe the exterior of the pizza oven with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Never immerse the pizza oven, except

Form bread loaf or Homestyle pizza dough into a ball; place ball in center of baking pan and roll or stretch dough to a 10 to 12-inch circle.‡ Lightly prick dough with fork. Spread pizza sauce evenly over dough. Place toppings evenly over sauce; sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Place loaded baking pan on pizza oven and bake using the DUAL setting for 11 to 13 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbling. If you prefer a crisp crust and have a large amount of toppings, it may be desirable to use the LOWER setting for 4 to 6 minutes before switching to DUAL for 11 to 13 minutes.

*Makes two 12-inch pizzas. Second piece of dough may be frozen for future use.

‡To make baking pan more stable for rolling or stretching dough, place a kitchen towel under baking pan.
