In order to remove any protective substances on the heating elements, it is necessary to run the oven empty for 20 minutes. Ensure the area is well ventilated as the oven may emit vapours. These vapours are safe and are not detrimental to the performance of the oven.
Due to the extremely high temperatures being achieved, please ensure to place the oven in a well-ventilated area, as it will emit smoke when cooking.
Always ensure that the stone deck is in place when the oven is on.
NOTE
When you intend to transport the product; remove the pizza deck from inside the oven and pack separately to avoid breakage.
NOTE
Make sure the oven is preheated before placing the pizza in the cavity. If cooking multiple pizzas, wait until the AT TEMPERATURE light turns solid on before loading your next pizza.
NOTE
For high temperature cooking functions, we recommend you monitor and stay close to the oven as your food can quickly become overdone and eventually ignite.
See Troubleshooting for more information.

This dough is rolled out thinly which gives the pizza a crisp result. The toppings should be right to the edge and the sauce can be spread to the very outside of the pizza.

The pizza should be cooked directly on the stone deck and toppings & crust should be evenly browned.
Amazing crunchy base, fluffy dough and plenty of toppings with sauce almost to the edge. The ultimate pizza indulgence. This setting requires the use of the pan provided with your pizza oven.

If you prefer your pizza with a darker crust, this can be achieved thanks to the DARKNESS dial that allows you to adjust the temperature in your pizza oven.
The centre position is the default. Turn the dial clockwise to increase the temperature and counter clockwise to decrease it.
The Breville Pizzaiolo oven features Element IQ®, a cooking technology that adjusts what heating elements are on, and the power of each of the heating elements to achieve the optimum cooking performance.
Each of the oven's functions is pre-set with our recommended power distribution, deck and top temperatures and cooking time, that are based on recipes and testing.
Depending on the recipe, amount of food and your personal taste, these can be adjusted with the use of the DARKNESS and TIME dials.
Manual Mode is an alternative mode of operation that allows you to individually control deck and top temperatures, and to adjust the power distribution of the top heaters. This enables you to fully customize how the oven functions.
For better use of the Manual Mode, the alternate interface magnet provided with the pizza oven should be placed on the front of the interface to indicate what temperatures you have set and what heaters you are using.
When the Manual Mode is selected, the control dial situated on the far right will allow you to choose the heat distribution in each top element, in order to achieve different food results.
If selecting the setting on the far left, the inner & outer top elements will have a similar heat distribution to allow an even cooking result. This setting is ideal if cooking a style of pizza that requires that both the toppings and the crust to be cooked evenly.
By turning the dial from left to right, you will allow the heat to be more and more directed toward the outer and away from the inner top elements.
If selecting the setting on the far right, the outside top element will have a higher heat distribution than the inside top element. This setting is ideal if cooking a Neapolitan style pizza which requires higher heat in the crust, to achieve leopard-spotting, or if cooking with delicate ingredients.
When using Manual Mode, refer to the table below for suggested times and temperature ranges depending on the style of pizza being cooked:
PIZZA | TIME mins | DECK TEMP | TOP TEMP | TOP CONTROL |
NEAPOLITAN![]() | 2 mins | 370-400°C | 370 - 400°C | ![]() |
THIN & CRISPY | 7 mins | 295-325°C | 220-250°C | ![]() |
THICK CRUST | 9 mins | 295-325°C | 235-265°C | ![]() |
PAN PIZZA | 18 mins | 325-355°C | 205-235°C | ![]() |
FROZEN | 12 mins | 220-250°C | 190-220°C | ![]() |
NOTE
The deck and top temperatures affect each other, so there are limitations on the possible combinations.
To return to pre-set mode, simply turn the STYLE dial to OFF and then turn back on to select desired function.
NOTE
The dough can be hard to shape if it has not rested long enough or is still too cold.
If the dough snaps back when shaping, let it rest for a further 15–30 minutes under a damp cloth. It will make the dough easier to manage.
TIP
If having difficulty stretching the dough, place the floured dough on the top of an upside-down bowl, then gently stretch the dough down the sides.
TIP
The dough can also be kneaded by hand or by using a food processor. Dough is ready when it is possible to stretch a very thin (almost transparent) piece without tearing.
TIP
Extra pizza dough can be frozen for up to one month in airtight containers or zip-lock bags. Thaw pizza dough overnight in the refrigerator before using.
When cooking pizzas that do not require the use of the pan, it is essential to cook your pizza directly on the deck. This requires the use of the pizza peel to transfer your pizza into the oven.
TIPS
The aim is to use just enough flour and semolina to ensure the pizza doesn't stick on the peel.
If you use too much, the excess flour will burn on the stone, causing a bitter taste and a yellow color on the base of the pizza. This excess flour will also increase the amount of smoke and chance of a fire occurring in the oven after you have removed your pizza.
NOTE
The peel needs to remain cool and clean to prevent the dough from sticking. Do not sit the peel under the pizza oven, while waiting to load the pizza onto its surface.
Ensure your pan is seasoned before use. See care section for details.
Always ensure to have deck in place when using the pizza pan.
For pan style pizza, the pizza should be prepared in the unheated pizza pan and then placed in a preheated oven.
Alternatively the pan can be preheated before adding food, e.g. vegetables, to achieve better charring results.
Before cleaning, ensure the oven and all accessories are cool, and then remove the power plug from the power outlet.
Do not immerse the body, power cord or power plug in water or any other liquid as this may cause electrocution.
NOTE
A natural patina will quickly develop on the surface of the stone deck with use. This is expected and will not affect the performance of your oven.
Seasoning the pizza pan
The pan provided with your pizza oven is made of carbon steel and requires special care. Please season the pan using the following instructions before first use and at regular intervals to maintain it's protective layer.
It is important to note that during the seasoning process the oven will be at a temperature above the flash point of the oil used. This might cause the oil to spontaneously flash or ignite. To minimize this risk do not exceed the amount of oil described in the instructions below and keep the door fully closed at all times during the process. If fire or flash is observed, do not be alarmed, keep the door closed and any flames will extinguish themselves quickly.
Your pan is now ready for use. We recommend regular seasoning for best performance and to extend the life of your pan.
For regular cleaning, we recommend washing the pan by hand with warm water and mild soap, if necessary. Dry the pan thoroughly and season according to the seasoning guide.
TIP
If any rust develops, use a stainless steel or copper scouring pad and hot water to remove it, and then re-season the pan using the method above.
Never put the pizza pan in the dishwasher.
