INSTALLATION: The unit may be directly placed on counter. Make sure the counter is level. Clear the
counter area where the unit is to be installed. Place the unit in position on the counter and mark the outline
of the unit. Remove unit and apply sealer (Dow Corning RTV 732 Multipurpose Sealant or its equivalent) on
the counter. Place the unit in position (over the sealer). Make sure that the edges on the unit are sealed
with a heavy bead. Wipe clean any excess sealer.
OPTIONAL LEGS: 4” optional legs are available. To install legs follow these steps:
• Place the unit on a counter or a flat surface
• Tilt unit carefully onto its back
• Screw legs into the bottom of the unit in holes provided
• Carefully tilt oven up onto the legs and adjust the bottom of the legs to level the unit
INITIAL START UP: After the electrical connections have been made, your oven will need approximately 2
to 3 hours to burn off. The following steps must be completed before your new oven is ready to use.
• Place the oven in a well-ventilated area.
• Open the door and remove any instructions or samples shipped with the unit. Make sure the oven
cavity is empty and the baking decks are properly installed.
• With the oven door open, turn the temperature knob to 400°F for 1 hour.
• Close the oven door. Increase the temperature to 500°F for at least 1½ hour.
This procedure will dry out the insulation and deck material and will help to insure best baking results.
CAUTION: OVEREXPOSURE TO SMOKE OR FUMES MAY CAUSE NAUSEA AND DIZZINESS.
PIZZA BAKING: Only pizza and bread products can be baked with direct contact with oven decks.
All other products must be placed in pans. Your CECILWARE counter top pizza oven has been designed
to bake pre-baked crusts with ease. The temperature range for pizza baking is usually higher than for
general baking. Pizza should cook at approximately 500°F to 575°F depending on the individual product.
Allow the pizza to bake until the cheese bubbles and bottoms are brown. Do not keep the oven door open
too long when loading since heat will escape, resulting in slower baking.
When production requirements are low, keep the temperature low to prevent the bottoms from
burning. As demand increases, temperature should be raised for quicker recovery time. Fresh dough
generally requires a slightly lower baking temperature and longer bake time than defrosted pre-baked
crusts.
GENERAL BAKING TIPS:
• Pizza crust should be fully defrosted before baking.
• Wet areas on the bottom of a pizza will cause them to stick to the deck. Avoid spills.
• For fresh dough pizza (220v ovens only), flour or corn meal on the peel will prevent sticking and
ease placement of the pizza on the deck.
• Increasing bake temperatures during heavy production assist in maintaining temperature; after the
rush is over reduce temperature to prevent burning.
• Heavily topped pizzas require longer bake times at lower temperatures.
• Rotation of the pizza during the cooking cycle is highly recommended.
• Placing a screen under a pizza will allow the top to cook without overcooking the bottom.
• Frequently scrape and brush off decks to remove burnt residue, which can cause an off flavor to
the product. Residue build-up can slow bake times.
• Clean heavily soiled pizza decks by scraping down, brushing off, removing from oven, turning over
and putting back. This procedure will burn off the decks and should be repeated every 6 months.
Do not use water to clean the decks as this could cause the decks to crack.
• Using shiny pans or screens will produce products with light bottom color. All pans and screens
should be seasoned before use.
CLEANING: To keep your CECILWARE oven in top shape, periodic cleaning is suggested. ALWAYS CLEAN
THE OVEN ONLY WHEN IT IS COLD. WHEN CLEANING STAINLESS STEEL ALWAYS WIPE IN THE DIRECTION
OF THE GRAIN. From time to time the spillage should be scraped out. For hard to clean spillage, the
following is suggested:
• Turn the thermostat up to the highest setting and let the oven run for ½ hour.
• Allow the oven to cool down
• Brush the residue from deck
NOTE: DO NOT USE WATER TO CLEAN DECKS. CRAKING MAY RESULT.
