4. RECOMMENDED OPERATING PROCEDURE
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.
Pre-heating:
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.
Baking:
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.

When slow or idling, open the Push/Pull slides fully and set the thermostat at least 50 F
o
(30 C) lower than your baking temperature in order to prevent the bake deck from getting too hot.
5. HELPFUL HINTS:
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, TURN THE
THERMOSTAT UP 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.
Dark color Pans and Screens transfer heat better than light colored aluminum Pans or Screens.
All Pans and Screens must be seasoned before use.
