General Operating Procedures
The pizza oven reaches operating temperatures in approximately 20 minutes but may vary
depending on environmental conditions. The ideal surface temperature of the cooking stones,
specifically for pizza, is between 500-525 degrees Fahrenheit, however for compliance
requirements, the temperature gauge for the oven is specific to the air temperature. There is
not a direct correlation between the oven air temperature and the stone temperature, so the
actual values will differ slightly.
While You are Cooking
The pizza oven surfaces get very hot as will the pizzas you are cooking. Follow these tips while
operating the oven:
•
Never move the pizza oven while it is in use or when it is hot.
•
The use of alcohol, prescription or non-prescription drugs may impair your ability to safely
operate the pizza oven.
•
Do not touch the top of the pizza oven, the front shelf or any surfaces inside or near the door
opening while the oven is hot. These surfaces can cause serious burns.
•
Be very careful transporting hot pizzas. The toppings can cause serious burns to yourself or
those around you.
•
Only use a long-handled tools to clean the cooking deck. The handle must be long enough that
your hands stay safely outside of the oven.
•
Never empty the crumb tray while the oven is hot. The tray and its contents become very hot
while the oven is in use.
Additional Cooking Tips
Here are some additional tips specific to cooking pizza with this appliance. We recommend
you follow these tips to help ensure consistent results with your cooking experience.
•
Our polished cooking stones are less likely to stick to the pizza dough than traditional
cordierite stones. However, you can use corn meal between the dough and the peel to
help slide the pizza off the peel. Be sure the dough is floured enough that it is not
sticky on the bottom.
Practice with your pizza oven to understand the temperature variables and
nuances of your oven before hosting your guests.
