hot, it may have caused the unit to overheat. Allow the unit to cool,
if it is hot, and then press the reset button on the front of the unit.
The baking pan rotates, but my pizza does not cook. Why?
You have failed to turn on the timer. The timer has a dual function.
Once the timer is set, the heating elements will turn on and begin
cooking the pizza. When the time has expired, the timer will ring
and the heating elements will shut off.
My pizza does not cook evenly. What am I doing wrong?
1. If the bottom is done and the top isn’t or if the top is done and the
bottom isn’t, you probably have not selected the correct setting
for the type of pizza you are cooking. Refer to the cooking chart
above or on back of pizza oven for recommended guidelines.
Most pizzas should be cooked using the dual setting for part of
the cooking time.
2. The ingredients on your pizza are not distributed evenly. If that
is the case, allow the pizza to cook slightly and then redistribute
the ingredients with a fork. This will allow the pizza to cook
more evenly.
How do I get a crispier crust or make my toppings browner?
Always begin cooking your pizza using the recommended settings
in the cooking chart on page 2 or on back of pizza oven. Then at the
end of the recommended 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 past “6” 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.
When I cook rising crust pizza, sometimes the crust seems doughy
or sometimes the crust doesn’t rise very much. Why?
Your problem is caused by one of two things:
1. You did not follow the recommended cooking settings––cook
9- to 12-inch pizzas 10 to 12 minutes rst on LOWER and then
10 to 12 minutes on DUAL. OR
2. The yeast in your pizza crust is no longer fully active. The amount
of rising and the consistency of a rising crust is dependent upon
the conditions of the yeast. Freshness, freezer temperatures,
packaging (vacuum packaged is best), and original dough
quality are all important factors. Generally, more consistent
results will be secured by nationally branded pizzas since they
abide by more rigorous packaging and quality standards than
many regional/grocery store pizzas.
Can I use my Pizzazz
®
Pizza Oven to reheat pizza or to cook other
foods besides pizza?
Such use is not recommended. The product was designed for
cooking whole (7- to 12-inch) pizzas. Reheating less than a whole
pizza or cooking other foods will not cover the baking pan the way
a whole pizza does. As a result, the pan’s nish may be damaged and
the product itself may overheat, necessitating a cool down and use
of the reset button.
Care and Cleaning
1. Always remove baking pan from unit when baking is
completed.
2. Unplug pizza oven from outlet and allow entire unit to cool
completely before cleaning.
3. Wash the nonstick baking pan in warm sudsy water, rinse, and dry.
4. Occasionally, wipe the exterior of the pizza oven with a damp
cloth and dry thoroughly. Never immerse the pizza oven, except
