PROBLEM EXPLANATION
My Pizza cooked The heating element types

specifically optimized to
cook a perfect pizza from

needing to rotate. Being off
center can cause one side to
cook a little faster than the
other.

RECOMMENDATION
• When placing pizza on the tray, pull
it out slightly with the tray handle to
better see where the true center is.
• If while cooking you notice this; pull the
tray out and use oven safe utensils (such
as a spatula or tongs) to move the pizza
back into center for the rest of the cook
time. Rotating the pizza can also help
if you are farther long in the cooking
process. Please note that opening the
door could impact the cook time.
• Always preheat the appliance for at
least 5 minutes prior to cooking.
• Inspect the food before choosing a
setting:
• If the pizza crust looks thick or there
are a lot of toppings (ex. supreme
pizza), you may want to consider
using the "Rising" setting. The lower
IR intensity helps cook slightly
slower, giving the pizza more time to
cook all the way through.
• If frozen snacks have a large
variation in thickness or size, you
may want to consider using the
"Rising" setting. The lower IR
intensity helps cook slightly slower,
giving the food more time to cook
all the way through.
• If frozen foods are very dense or
thick, you may want to try using
the "Rising" setting. The lower IR
intensity helps cook slightly slower,
giving the food more time to cook
all the way through.
• If while cooking you notice this, turn
the control setting to "Rising" and allow
it to cook until desired doneness. If
needed, remove items that are finished
cooking and allow underdone items
more time to finish cooking.
• Normal preheat is 5 minutes. Allow the
oven to preheat for a full 10 minutes
for crispier crust; follow the same cook
times listed in cooking chart provided.
• If cooking more than one pizza, allow
3-4 minutes of preheat between pizzas
in order to keep the pizza oven at the
correct temperature.
• Always clean your oven between uses
to avoid smoke and safety hazards.
• Upon first use you may notice a light
odor or smoke. This is normal and will
cause no harm.
