OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Helpful Hints:

(a)  An instructions plate is attached behind the 

damper knobs indicating how to set the oven for 
more top or bottom heat. Opening the dampers 
allow more heat to enter the baking chamber from 
the combustion/burner compartment. Closing the 
dampers keep more heat in the combustion/burner 
compartment to keep the baking deck hotter.

(b)  If the oven is up to Pizza baking temperature 

and has not been used for a while, there is a 
tendency for the baking deck to get hotter. In 
this condition, when you put in one Pizza, TURN 
THE THERMOSTAT UP, so that the main burner 
flame is burning at its fullest, providing the extra 
heat needed to balance the bottom heat. The 
thermostat should be turned down back to the 
normal setting as soon as you have baked the  
Pizza.

(c)  Frequently scrape and brush off decks to remove 

burnt residue which can cause an ‘off’ flavor and 
bake times to increase.

(d)  Heavily topped Pizza or Pan Pizza requires 

lower bake temperatures and longer bake times 
as compared to a regular thin Pizza with light 
toppings.

(e)  Bubbles in fresh dough indicate under proofed 

or cold product. Allow the dough balls to proof 
to double in size and warm 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 of your product. Dark 
color pans and screens transfer heat better than 
light colored aluminum pans or screens. They 
must be seasoned before use.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

This appliance must be serviced by an Authorized 
Service Technician only. Disconnect the power supply 
before cleaning or servicing the oven.

Regular and thorough cleaning will help to keep the 
ovens operating properly. If service is required, contact 
an Authorized Service Agency, your dealer or the 
factory to obtain a qualified technician for the required 
maintenance/service.

Oven Exterior:

(a)  Deposits of baked-on splatter and grease, or 

discoloration may be removed with the stainless 
steel cleaner or by using any commercial cleaner 
recommended for stainless steel. RINSE WELL

(b)  A thin coat of light oil will add to the appearance 

of the oven.

Apply stainless steel cleanser only when the oven 
is cold. Always rub with the grains and apply very 
light pressure. 

NOTICE

Painted Surfaces:

(a)  Washing with mild soap and water solution is 

adequate to keep the painted surfaces clean.

(b)  Apply a thin coat of oil to protect and enhance the 

finish.

Control Panel:

Every six months (more frequently if the oven is used 
heavily) the bottom door spring mechanism and all 
moving parts must be inspected for wear.

Do not apply grease to spring lever shoulder bolt, 
spring roller or the door rod and the door pin. 
They have a self-lubricating insert that will be 
damaged if lubricated.
