4. RECOMMENDED OPERATING PROCEDURE
Pre-heating:
Baking:
When slow or idling, open the Push/Pull slides fully and set the thermostat at least 50 F (30 C) lower
than your baking temperature in order to prevent the bake deck from getting too hot.
5. HELPFUL HINTS:
TURN THE THERMOSTAT UP
Dark color Pans and Screens transfer heat better than light colored aluminum Pans or Screens. All
Pans and Screens must be seasoned before use.
THISAPPLIANCE MUST BE SERVICED ONLY BYANAUTHORIZED SERVICEAGENT
Disconnect the power supply before cleaning or servicing the oven.
1. STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES:
NOTE: Apply stainless steel cleaner only when the oven is cold. Always rub with the grains while
applying light pressure.
It is very important that at the end of each day's operation, the gas cock dial to the Main Burners is turned
back to the Pilot position and that the Booster Burner switch is flipped to the “OFF” (O) position, leaving only
the Pilot Burner on overnight. Keep the Pizza Push/Pull slides fully open.
a) Turn the gas cock dial to the main burner to the “ON” position.
b) Pre-heat the oven for 1 to 1 ½” hours at 50 F (30 C) lower than your baking temperature with Push/Pull
slides fully open.
a) After pre-heating, raise the thermostat setting to your baking temperature.
b) Light the Booster Burner and start baking.
c) Check the bottom color of the Pie and close the Push/Pull slides partially (halfway) after the 4th or 5th
bake to maintain the desired color.
a) An instructions plate is attached behind the damper knobs indicating how to set the oven for more top or
more bottom heat. Opening the slides allows more heat to enter the baking chamber from the combustion /
burner compartment. Closing the slides keeps more heat in the combustion / burner compartment, thereby
making the bake deck hotter.
b) If the oven is up to bake temperature but has not been used for a while, there is a tendency for the decks
to get very hot. In this condition, when you put in one pizza, so that the main
burner flame is at its fullest, providing the extra heat needed to balance the high bottom heat. The
thermostat should be turned down back to the normal setting, as soon as that pizza is baked.
c) Frequently scrape and brush off decks to remove burnt residue which can cause an “off-flavour” and an
increase in the bake time.
d) Heavily topped pizza or pan pizza requires lower bake temperatures and longer bake times as
compared to regular thin pizza with light toppings.
e) Bubbles in fresh dough indicate an under-proofed or cold product. Allow the dough balls to proof to
double in size and warm to room temperature before baking.
f) Any type of pan or screen may be used in this oven. When choosing pans, be sure to pick a pan which is
closest in height to that of your product.
Bakers Pride ovens are designed to be as maintenance-free as possible. Regular and thorough cleaning
will help to keep the ovens operating properly. However, if service is required, contact an Authorized
ServiceAgency or your Dealer.
a) Deposits of baked-on splatter and grease, or discoloration, may be removed with the stainless cleaner
sample supplied or by using any commercial cleaner recommended for stainless steel. Bakers Pride offers
a stainless steel cleaner expressly made for this purpose. RINSE WELL.
b) Apply a thin coat of oil to protect and enhance the finish.
