3. Remove pizza from box or wrapper and cardboard disk. Center pizza on baking pan. When baking take-out pizza or rising
crust pizza, you may use the baking wheel or special baking tray if provided by the 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 pan following the instructions in step 2.
5. Slide the heat element selector switch to the appropriate setting (LoWeR–DUAL–UPPeR). Refer to the cooking chart on
page 4 or on back of pizza oven.
6. Press the timer dial down and rotate it clockwise to the desired baking time. Refer to the cooking chart on page 4 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 conventional 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.
Be sure to always rotate the timer dial beyond the “4” minute mark then back to the desired time when selecting a
setting of four minutes or less.
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 4 minutes or less, rotate
the dial beyond “4” and then back to time desired. This will activate the heating elements and timer function. When
pizza appears done, press down on the timer dial and turn it to “0” if it is not at “0” already. The heating elements will turn
off when the timer is at the “0” position. Note: You will hear a clicking sound periodically whenever the unit is plugged
in, the pan is in place, and the timer is at the “0” position. This is normal.
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 shut-off switch will shut the pizza oven off.
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 damage the pan finish.
BE SURE TO ALWAYS ROTATE THE TIMER DIAL BEYOND THE “4” MINUTE MARk THEN BACk TO THE
DESIRED TIME WHEN SELECTING A SETTING OF FOUR MINUTES OR LESS. This will activate the heating
elements and timer function.
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
PRESENT.
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.
