OPERATION PRESSING DOUGH Your pizza dough press is designed for easy use and operation to reliably press dough balls. Thickness, shape, and size are directly related to your dough ball, its shape, the temperature of the dough, the recipe of your dough, type of lubricating food oil, as well as the settings of your machine.

OPERATION After the designated time has elapsed, raise the handle all the way up and swing the upper platen away from the lower platen. Pressing time for par baked pizza crust varies depending on percentage of desired par bake. Begin trials at 45 seconds and increase or decrease time until desired results are achieved.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE LUBRICATION Your press requires lubrication every 15,000 cycles or every 6 months. Lubri- cate weekly in a heavy use production environment. Use NSF/NLG12 rated food grade grease (such as Bel-Ray No-Tox #2 or equivalent). A general purpose food grade machine oil spray is also acceptable such as CRC03055 lubricant (available from retailers such as Amazon).
