Oven Settings - PizzaMaster PM 351ED Instructions For Installation, Use And Maintenance Manual

Base settings
We suggest using the recommended base-settings to
begin with. Then, as you gain experience with the oven,
you can experiment with different thermostat and heat-
control settings until you find the optimum settings for
your brand of pizza.
Setting the right temperature
The oven temperature is set by means of the ther-
mostat at the top of the control panel. It should be
set to suit the composition of the dough, the size and
thickness of the crust, the quantity of pizza-toppings
and the desired baking result, e.g. whether you pre-
fer the crust to be fairly soft or nice and crispy.
Basic rule
The basic rule is that the pizza crust should be
ready by the time the pizza toppings are ready.
To help achieve this, bear in mind the following:
Quantity and relationship between salt and sugar
• Sugar makes the crust more crispy and gives it
more colour. The use of sugar therefore enables
either the baking time to be shortened or the oven
temperature to be reduced.
• Salt makes the crust softer and gives it less colour.
The use of salt therefore requires either a longer
baking time or a higher oven temperature.
Thickness of pizza crust (and base)
• The thinner the crust, the shorter the baking time.
• The thicker the crust, the longer the baking time.
Quantity of pizza toppings
• The fewer the pizza toppings, the shorter the bak-
ing time.
• The more pizza toppings, the longer the baking
time.
Important! Once you have found the right thermo-
stat temperature-setting for your brand of pizza,
always use that setting regardless of the workload
and number of pizzas in the oven.

Top- – Overhead heat
If the preset oven temperature falls by more than
30 o C during baking, then the settings for Top are
too low. Increase the settings as necessary, but just
enough to maintain the oven temperature.
Bottom – Bottom-heat
The bottom heat should be set as high as possible
without burning the undersides of the pizzas.
Tip! When you are expecting an extra high workload,
e.g. during rush hours, you can increase the bottom
heat 15 minutes beforehand to boost the heat in the
hearthstones. This will help to maintain the bottom
heat throughout the rush period.
