OPERATING
1) After connecting the plug to mains socket, switch oven on using the graduated knob, setting it at between 2-1/2 and 3.
2) After preheating for about 10 minutes with the oven closed, the pizza oven will have reached the right temperature for
starting to cook pizzas.
3) Before placing any type of pizza (home-made pizza, bakeris pizza, ready-made pizza, frozen pizza, frozen pizza with
topping etc.) on the retractory cooking surface, which should be thoroughly heated after a 10-minute warm-up, always
make sure that the pilot light is on. Pizza must only be inserted in the oven with the pilot light on, since this shows that
the two heating elements are in operation and will maintain the temperature constant to ensure perfect cooking of
pizzas. If the pilot light has gone out after the preheating period, open the oven lid for about 2 minutes, until the pilot light
switches back on.
WARNING: during cooking the power light may switch OFF. This is normal, and does not affect cooking.
4) To transfer the pizzas to the cooking surface in refractory stone, use the special spatulas provided; you will find them
very useful, particularly if you dust them with a little flour before use.
5) Remember to remove the spatulas once the pizza is in cooking position.
6) Once the pizza has been placed in the oven, lower lid and check that the gratuated knob is still between 2-1/2 and 3.
Every 4/5 minutes oven will provide fragrant, tasty pizzas, just as good as those from best pizzerias.
7) Between cooking one pizza and the next, leave the pizza oven lid open for about 2 minutes, so that the pilot light is
always on when the next pizzas are inserted; this ensures that the heating elements are also switched on (the top one glows
red) during cooking. Keep ready-made frozen pizzas at ambient temperature for about 10/15 minutes before cooking.
8) IMPORTANT: Do not allow topping from the pizza to be cooked (oil, tomato, cheese etc.) to fall onto the refractory
stone cooking surface, since the stone will absorb the liquids they contain. Prepare the toppings so that they stay on the
pizza and do not overfiow onto the stone.
9) Always remember that the most important feature of the pizza oven cooking surface is the refractory stone. This
untreated stone is madetrom components specially selected by G3 Ferrari, a sector leader, so it will store heat gently and
give it out evenly, absorbing the moisture from the dough. Only using this method, with direct contact with retractory
stone, it is possible to cook pizzas in 4/5 minutes, maintaining their nutrient values intact.
10) Our pizza oven is also designed to cook other foods (fish, vegetables, chicken etc.). In this case, use aluminium foil
trays available from any supermarket. This will give genuine cooking that conserves all characteristics of fresh foods.
TIMER
With this oven it is possible regulating cooking time and being advised when the cooking time has passed, that thanks to a
mechanical timer. Proceed in the following way:
a. place your pizza on the stone plate and close the lid of the oven;
b. turn the timer clockwise placing the selector on the desired time; as the selected time has passed, it can be heard a ring;
c. normally after 5 minutes a pizza is well cooked must it must be said that this is approximate, time of cooking depends on
several factors: dough thickness, type of ingredients, grade of freezing (in case of frozen pizzas), etc... therefore it is
recommended to control the grade of cooking during the operation.
The timer is mechanical therefore it doesn't affect the electric functioning of the oven, in other words it
TIMER CAN'T TURN ON OR OFF THE OVEN!
It is necessary looking after the cooking while the oven is operating. The sole method for turning off the oven is setting the
temperature knob in position "0" and unplug the cable.
CLEANING
Clean after removing the plug from the power socket, once the oven has cooled.
Clean the outside with water and a kitchen sponge. Never wash the cooking surface; simply wipe whit a damp kitchen
cloth, or use a spatula or a knife-blade to eliminate any residues.
NO OTHER MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED
Il is normal for the refractory stone to become dark with use. This is typical of natural stone.
- Make sure the appliance is disconnected from the mains socket before cleaning it. Do not use detergents to clean the
cooking base and do not pour cold water into the stone when it is still hot; the thermal shock might crack it.
- Never dip the appliance into water; electric parts might be damaged.
- Never touch the cooking stone when the appliance is on and, when it is off, as long as it keeps being hot.
- Important! When turning on the appliance, make sure the trays are not on the cooking base.
