Important Information
Never leave unit unattended. Pizza ingredients and other foods 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. This
situation can be avoided simply by turning the timer dial to “0” before the overcooking/overrising occurs.
Do not preheat rotating oven. With the Pizzazz
®
Plus rotating oven, no preheating is necessary. Preheating an empty baking pan may
damage the pan finish.
Never wrap baking pan or any portion of the rotating 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 food 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 rotating 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.
Pizza Cooking Chart
The following times are for cooking 9- to 12-inch pizzas. The times are approximate. if cooking 7- or 8-inch pizzas, you may need to
reduce the cooking times by 1 to 2 minutes. 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, 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.
