4. Remove the pizza from the package and cardboard disk.
5. After preheating, pull the baking rack partially out of the Pizza Oven and carefully place the pizza on the rack. Use caution as
the rack and oven exterior will be hot. Push the rack back into the oven.
6. Refer to the Pizza Cooking Chart below. Set the timer for the halfway point of the suggested cooking time for the type of pizza
you are baking. For instance, if the chart indicates to cook 18 to 24 minutes, turn the timer to 9. When the time expires, carefully
pull the baking rack partially out of the oven and rotate the pizza a quarter turn using a fork or tongs. Then push the rack back
into the oven and set the timer for the remaining time.
When the timer goes off, check the pizza for doneness. if additional baking time is needed, simply reset the timer to the desired
time. Select the UPPER setting on the heating element control if you would like the cheese and toppings more done; select the
LOWER setting on the heating element control if you would like the crust more brown.
All pizzas will cook differently. Cook until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
7. When pizza appears done, turn the timer to "0" if it is not at "0" already.
8. Carefully pull the baking rack out of the oven and slide the pizza onto the cardboard disk or a pizza pan.
Set the hot baking rack on a heat resistant surface.
9. Allow the pizza to cool for 3 to 5 minutes and cut into serving pieces.
10. Let the oven cool completely before cleaning or storing.
To reheat pizza slices, allow the Pizza Oven to preheat for 3 minutes with the heating element control set at DUAL. After preheating,
turn the heating element control to UPPER and place the pizza slices on the center of the baking rack. Set the timer for 6 to 12 minutes.
Use the shorter time if reheating thin crust, single topping pizza and the longer time if reheating thicker crust, multiple topping pizza.
For best results, check the pizza after 6 minutes.
Pizza Cooking Chart
The following times are for cooking 12-inch pizzas. The times are approximate. Use the shorter times for single topping pizzas and the
longer times for pizzas with extra toppings or vegetable toppings. When the cheese is melted and bubbling, the pizza is done. At the end
of the cooking time if you would like a crispier crust, turn the heating element control to LOWER; if you would like the toppings more
done, turn the control to UPPER. Then reset the timer by turning it beyond "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.
*During your first use with each type of pizza, start with the shorter baking time in the indicated range. Then open the
oven and check the pizza. Extend the time as needed to bake the pizza the way you like it. note the full time; thereafter,
use that time as a guide to bake pizza in the future.
Cooking times will vary depending on household voltage. The higher the voltage, the shorter the cooking time; the
lower the voltage, the longer the cooking time.

Care and Cleaning

your Pizza Oven should be cleaned regularly for best performance. Regular cleaning will also reduce the risk of fire hazard. Be sure the
timer is at "0" (OFF position) and unplug. Allow the Pizza Oven to cool completely before cleaning.
Exterior of Pizza Oven
Occasionally wipe the outside of the Pizza Oven with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. never immerse the Pizza Oven in water or other
liquid. Do not use steel wool scouring pads or abrasive cleaners on the outside of the Pizza Oven.
Baking Rack
Wash the baking rack with a hot, soapy cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly. if necessary, clean the wire portion of the rack with a nylon
mesh pad to remove any food residue. Do not immerse the baking rack face panel in water or any other liquid as water may enter
the interior of the panel and become trapped inside.
To fold the baking rack handle in for compact storage, press the handle release button and rotate the handle in towards the Pizza Oven.
