How To Use
Before using for the first time, become familiar with the Pizzazz pizza oven (see Fig. A on page 8). Wash the baking pan in warm, soapy water; rinse and dry thoroughly.
1.Set pizza oven on a flat, dry countertop away from countertop edge.
2.Locate the two “L” shaped posts (see Fig. A on page 8). Position the baking pan over the lower heating element at an angle so the back inside rim of the pan rests against the top of the “L” shaped posts. Now center the pan so the pan hub is over the drive shaft (Fig. B). The pan must be pulled forward against the posts
for the hub to align with the drive shaft. Lower the pan so that the
drive shaft is seated into the hub. The pan may rotate slightly while it drops into position, when the hub and drive shaft engage.
3. Remove pizza from box or wrapper and cardboard disk. Center pizza |

may use the baking wheel or special baking tray if provided by the | Pan Hub |

pizza manufacturer. |

4. Plug the unit in. The motor will turn on and the baking pan will |

begin to rotate. Note: If the baking pan does not rotate, the pan hub |
|
| |
is probably not centered over the drive shaft (Fig. B). Reposition the | Fig. B | “L” Shaped Post | |

5.Slide the heat element selector switch to the appropriate setting
6.Turn the timer dial clockwise to the desired baking time. Refer to the cooking chart on page 10 or on back of pizza oven, rather than the pizza manufacturer’s instructions. Typically, pizzas will cook faster on the Pizzazz pizza oven than in a con- ventional oven. Once the timer is set, the heating elements will turn on and the pizza will begin to cook. Do not preheat the pizza oven.
Note: When the heating elements are turned on, the metal surrounding the heating elements will expand. You may hear a light humming or vibrating sound, or a slight pop, as the metal expands. This is normal.
7.If timer goes off and additional baking time is needed, simply reset timer to desired time. To cook 6 minutes or less, turn timer past “6” and then back to time desired. This will activate the heating elements and timer function. When pizza appears done, turn timer to “0” if it is not at “0” already. The heating elements will turn off when the timer is at the “0” position.
8.Then while the pan continues to rotate, using hot pads carefully lift the baking pan and pizza off the pizza oven, being careful pizza does not touch the upper heating element. Set hot baking pan on a heat resistant surface. Note: As soon as you lift the baking pan from the pizza oven, the automatic
9.Unplug the unit. Allow the unit to cool before cleaning or storing.
10.Carefully slide pizza onto cardboard circle or pizza plate. Cut and serve. Do not cut pizza on the baking pan. For best results use nylon, plastic, wooden or rubber utensils. Do not use metal utensils as they may scratch the nonstick surface.
Warnings
Never leave unit unattended. Pizza ingredients burn and smoke when overcooked and in extreme situations may even ignite. The amount of rising that occurs on rising crust pizzas varies from pizza to pizza. In rare instances, at the end of the cooking cycle, a rising crust may rise so high that it touches the upper heating element, scorching the crust and overcooking the pizza toppings. Either situation can be avoided simply by turning the timer dial to “0” before the overcooking/overrising occurs.
Do not preheat Pizza Oven. With the Pizzazz pizza oven, no preheating is necessary. Preheating an empty baking pan may cause the unit to overheat and possibly damage the pan finish.
Never wrap baking pan or any portion of the pizza oven with aluminum foil. Never operate the unit if the pan is not rotating.
Close adult supervision is necessary whenever using this appliance with children pres- ent.
Never touch the pizza or any metal parts on the unit while it is operating. They are very hot.
Always remove baking pan from unit when baking is completed. Operating the pizza oven with an empty baking pan or placing an empty baking pan on the unit before the unit has cooled may result in damage to the baking pan finish and may also cause overheating of the unit.
