7.2 SWITCHING ON THE OVEN FOR THE FIRST TIME

FOR A GOOD STARTUP OF THE OVEN, KEEP THE DOOR OPEN UNTIL THE
THERMOMETER DOESN'T SHOWING 200° C

When the equipment is used for the first time, it is advisable to heat the oven when empty to eliminate bad
smells caused by the evaporation of the refractory stones and the inner metallic parts.

Procedure:



urn the main switch to “1” after checking

that the oven is connected to the electric power supply;



Let the (empty) oven operate for at least 8 hours at a temperature of 300°-350° before proceeding with the
first batch.

7.3 START-UP PHASE

FOR A GOOD STARTUP OF THE OVEN, KEEP THE DOOR OPEN UNTIL THE
THERMOMETER DOESN'T SHOWING 200° C

After connecting the oven to the electrical mains turn the main switch (A) to “1”. The digital thermometer display

will show the average real temperature of the cooking chamber.  At this point, turn the thermostat knob (D) to
the desired temperature. This will start the oven, that is, the gas is ignited and the flame is produced.
If no baking is being carried out, but you simply want to maintain the oven at temperature, leave the switch (B)
in  position  0  (min),  which  minimises  gas  consumption.  If  you  want  to  start  baking  and  therefore  start  the
subsequent batches, turn the switch (B) to 1 (max), and keep this setting for the entire baking period.

7.4 GENERAL COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

Generally for the food products it is not possible to provide precise temperature and baking times because of
their different characteristics.
Particularly, regarding pizza and similar products, time and temperatures depend on the shape and thickness
of the dough, as well as the quantity and type of the additional ingredients.

For these reasons it is always advisable to initially carry out some baking tests,

(particularly when this

oven model is used for the first time), in order to better understand its characteristics and operation.

7.5 PIZZA MAKER TIPS

This chapter contains ideas and advice coming from a team of skilled pizza chefs who continuously collaborate
in the development of our products.

For an optimal result, and therefore a good pizza, baking must be carried out at an average temperature of

380°C for approx. 3 ÷ 3.5 minutes.

For easier oven use and care, for the best result, we strongly advise to proceed as follows:

1) The oven must be on (heating phase) for at least 30/40 minutes before using it and during this phase it must
be set to the temperature desired for baking (approx. 380° is recommended)
2) At this stage proceed with the first batch keeping these settings
3) After baking the first pizzas (first batch) check the obtained result and if necessary further adjust the
temperature settings
4) Proceed with the second and then with the subsequent batches, keeping these settings.
5) Once several batches are done, or in any case while the oven must simply remain in temperature (without

any baking), turn the switch (B) to “0”. The oven

will remain in standby until the switch (B) is returned to position

“1”

(before starting to bake again).



For an optimal result, it is necessary that 20% of the baking surface (refractory stones) remains
free. This solution allows the best elimination of the water vapours released by the pizzas when
baking.
