DESCRIPTION OF THE OVEN PIZZA
T his is an eleclric oven specially developed lo make pizzas, designed and provided wilh a pure "fire­
stone" cooking bed - which main characteristic is thai of delivering heat evenly and absorbing humidity
contained in the cooking dough - to obtain home - made, fragrant and crisp pizzas cooked on the same
stone as thai used in the "wood fuelled" ovens of the most famous pizza reslaurants.
lt is most sulted to restore fragrance and taste to frozen and ready-made doughs.
lt cooks any kind of pizzas and stuffed Neapolitan rolis, which dough is either home made or
bought at the baker's, in about 4/5 minutes. lt cooks any other kind of dough or ready-made pizza
(e.g. frozen, pre-cooked pizzas). In this case our pizza oven remarkably reduces the cooking time
usually printed on packings.
lt cooks without smoke or unpleasant odours.
OPERATION
1) After connecting the plug to the mains socket, switch the oven on using the graduateci knob, setting
it al around 2-1 /2.
2) After preheating for about 10 minutes with the oven closed, the pizza oven will have reached the
righi temperature for starting to cook pizzas.
3 ) Before placing any type of pizza (home-made pizza, bakery's pizza, ready-made pizza,
frozen pizza, frozen pizza with topping etc.) on the retractory cooking surface, which should be
thoroughly heated after a 1 O-minute warm-up, always make sure that the pilo! light is on. Pizza
must only be cooked 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. lf the pilot light has gone out after the preheating period, open the oven lid for about 2
minutes, until the pilo! light switches back on.
4) Once the pizza has been placed in the oven, lower the lid and check thai the graduateci knob is stili
on 2-1/2. Every 4/5 minutes the oven will provide fragrant, tasty pizzas, just as good as those
from the best pizzerias.
5) Between cooking one pizza and the next, leave the pizza oven lid open for about 2 minutes, so thai
the pilo! 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.
6) 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.
7) Remember to remove the spatulas once the pizza is in cooking position.
8) Keep ready-made frozen pizzas at ambient temperature for about 10/15 minutes before cooking as
described above.
9) IMPORTANT: Do not al/ow topping from the pizza to be cooked (oil, tornato, cheese etc.) to fai/ onto
the refractory stone cooking surface, since the stone wi/1 absorb the liquids they contain. Prepare
the toppings so that they stay on the pizza and do not overflow onto the stone.
1 O) Always remember that the most important feature of the pizza oven cooking surface is the refractory
stone. This untreated stone is made from components special/y se/ected by SPICE, so it wi/1 stare
heat gently and give it out evenly, absorbing the moisture from the dough. Only using
this method, with direct contact with refractory stone, it is possible to cook pizzas in 4/5 minutes,
maintaining their nutrient values intact.
11) Our pizza oven is also designed to cook other foods (fish, vegetables, chicken etc.).
In this case, use the aluminum foil trays available from any shop or supermarket. T his will give
genuine cooking thai conserves all the characteristics of the fresh foods.
