the pan may be cleaned with a nylon mesh pad.
4. occasionally, wipe the exterior of the rotating oven with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. never immerse the rotating oven, except
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 rotating oven.
Questions and Answers
When I plug in my rotating oven and set the timer the pan does not rotate. Why?
The baking pan may not be positioned correctly on the unit. in order for the pan to rotate, the pan hub must be seated over the drive shaft
(see Fig. B, page 3). Reposition the pan using the instructions on page 3.
The baking pan rotates, but my pizza/food 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/food. 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 on page 4 or on the back of the rotating 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 4 or on the back of the rotating oven.
Then at the 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 beyond “4” 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 making cookies and cinnamon rolls, the inside seems doughy or the bottom gets too done? What am I doing wrong?
you probably have not selected the correct setting. When baking refrigerated cookie dough and cinnamon rolls, bake according to the
chart on page 5. Begin using the UPPER setting, then partway through the cooking time, switch to the DUAL setting.
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.
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.
To prepare S’mores:
1. Position baking pan on rotating oven. For each S’more desired, break one graham cracker in half and place one half on baking pan.
2. Place one large marshmallow on graham cracker half.
3. Plug unit in and bake on DUAL setting for 6 minutes, or until marshmallow is browned.
4. Using hot pads, remove baking pan from rotating oven. immediately top marshmallow with 1 section of a milk chocolate bar. Cover
with other graham cracker half.
