Introduction

The Avantco Equipment Countertop Deck Pizza Oven duplicates the ideal baking environment of traditional Italian brick pizza ovens. Ceramic pizza deck measures 18" x 18" and can accommodate large pies while maintaining consistent temperatures to ensure that pizza cooks from the bottom as well as the top. A major benefit of a pizza stone over a pizza pan is the way that the ceramic stone drives moisture away from the crust, resulting in extra crispness.

Adjustable temperature control from 150°F to over 800°F allows you to cook a wider variety of items, and bakes pizza fast whether using fresh, frozen or par-baked dough. Pizza oven controls are designed for simplicity, with quick-touch switches and indicator lights for Power,

Interior Oven Light, and Top and Bottom Elements. Superior heat technology ensures quick heat-up and recovery, for consistent oven temperatures that guarantee great results.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

This manual contains important information regarding safe operation of your Avantco snack oven. Please read thoroughly before equipment setup, operation, or maintenance. Failure to comply with regular maintenance guidelines outlined in this manual may void the warranty!

NOTE: Save these instructions for future reference.

Precautions for Usage

• To protect against electrical hazards, do not immerse oven in water or other liquids.

• NEVER clean with water jets, which can result in critical bodily injury or death.

• DO NOT USE if cord or plug is damaged or if machine has malfunctioned, been dropped or damaged. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or electrical or mechanical adjustment.

• DO NOT use outdoors.

• DO NOT let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.

• Improper installation or use can result in electrical shock, injury, or damage to your oven or property.

• Your pizza oven is a heavy-duty appliance designed for commercial use, and intended to be operated by trained professionals only.

• To prevent risk of fire, oven should be installed in a noncombustible environment. Any combustible materials must be at least 18 inches away from sides, front and back of oven and at least 40 inches from top.

• Oven must be thoroughly cleaned before first use and after all uses (see USE AND CARE).

• ALWAYS be sure to disconnect oven from power source when not in use and before cleaning or servicing.

• ALWAYS allow oven to cool before moving or servicing. Surfaces are hot during use and remain hot for a while, even after power is off.

• DO NOT allow insertion of any foreign object into any ventilation or exhaust opening; this can cause electric shock, fire or damage to the oven.

• NEVER block air intakes or exhaust openings, or use on cushioned surfaces where blockage may occur.

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

• Extreme caution should be exercised when using containers constructed of the following materials in the oven: paper, cardboard, plastic or similar products.


User Manual

Oven Installation

1. After removing the outer shipping carton and packaging material, place the oven on the floor or other flat surface.

2. Open oven and remove any instructions or packaging material shipped in the unit.

3. With sufficient help, lift up the front of the oven and attach the two front legs (packed separately in styrofoam), carefully twisting each one into a corner and hand-tightening. Lift the back of the oven approximately 5 inches and block into position using a piece of wood or other solid object.

Then, attach the two back legs and hand tighten.

4. Move the oven to its final location. Adjust the bottom portion of the legs to level the unit. (fig. 1)

Ceramic Deck Installation

NOTE: New deck must be conditioned (pre-dried) prior to first use.

• Handling the Ceramic Deck: If deck is struck against hard surface before, during or after installation, it can develop a full or hairline crack which may expand over time and require you to replace it.

• Conditioning the Deck: Pre-dry ceramic deck by carefully following instructions in the following section, BEFORE USING YOUR PIZZA OVEN.

NOTE: Failure to follow conditioning instructions will cause deck to crack or warp and will void warranty.

• Installing the Deck: Open the oven door and place ceramic pizza deck into the bottom with the slots on front of deck facing front of oven.

Be sure the deck is firmly set in place.

DO NOT force or wedge it. (Fig. 2)

Before Using Your Pizza Oven

1. Place oven in a well ventilated area to burn off any residual dust from manufacturing.

2. Plug unit in, open door and set Temperature Control to 400˚F (205˚C). After one hour, close door and increase temperature to 500˚F (260˚C) for at least 1½ hours.

NOTE: The oven may emit an odor during this process; this is normal and not harmful, and should quickly dissipate.

3. Turn off the oven and allow it to cool completely. Remove any smoke residue from the interior with a dry cloth.

4. Place clean, cool oven in the area where it will be used. Be sure there is at least 6 inches of clearance between sides and top of oven and any wall or cabinet.

5. Check to ensure nothing is blocking the exhaust vent on back of unit.

Use & Care

NOTE: Daily cleaning is suggested to keep oven performing its best.

CAUTION: ALLOW OVEN TO COOL COMPLETELY BEFORE CLEANING.

CAUTION: ALWAYS UNPLUG THE OVEN FROM THE POWER SOURCE.

CAUTION: DO NOT USE ANY SHARP OR HARD KITCHEN UTENSILS AS THIS COULD

DAMAGE THE SURFACE OF THE OVEN.

1. When opening oven door, be sure to guide the door while lowering it. Doing so will prevent possible damage to the door jamb after an extended period of time.

2. Remove ceramic deck from cool oven.

3. With a deck brush, scrape off hardened spillage.

• To clean heavily soiled decks, return deck to oven and run at highest temperature

in a well-ventilated area for ½ hour. When oven and deck are cool, remove deck

and brush off residue.

NOTE: Never use high-abrasion brushing or water to clean deck, or immerse or let any water or any other liquids come into contact with the ceramic deck. Any of these can cause deck to crack.

4. Wipe interior of oven with damp cloth, avoiding heating elements.

5. When cleaning exterior, use stainless steel cleaner and wipe in the direction of the grain.

6. To clean the glass door, use a glass cleaner or damp cloth and dry with clean cloth.

Baking Instructions

NOTE: Only pizza and breads can be placed directly on the pizza deck. All other food items must be put onto a tray or into a container rated for high temperature use.

NOTE: The pizza oven can be used to bake both fresh and frozen products. Frozen items should go right from the freezer into the heated oven. Cooking time will vary depending on the consistency and weight of the product. DO NOT THAW FROZEN ITEMS ON HOT DECK.

1. Set the Temperature Control Knob to the desired temperature to preheat oven. Watch the

Temperature Gauge; when it reaches the temperature selected, the oven is ready to use.

• The temperature range for baking fresh pizza is usually between

500˚F (260˚C) and 575˚F (300˚C), depending on the individual product.

but not limited to: pizza diameter, thickness, environment, etc.

• Generally, frozen items are cooked at a lower temperature,

but always follow recommended cooking instructions.

or sheet pan to avoid damage to the ceramic stone.

We recommend to cook pizzas at 525°F for 4-6 minutes each for proper leoparding on

the crusts, but individual results may vary depending on a variety of factors including,

• Do not place frozen foods directly on the stone, always place these on a pizza pan

2. Bake pizza until the cheese bubbles and the bottom is evenly browned, rotating it during the baking process if necessary.

3. Open and close door quickly when putting pizza in oven to prevent heat from escaping, which can slow down cooking time.

Baking Tips

• Be sure ceramic pizza deck is dry. Wet spots or spills will cause food to stick.

• Never season the ceramic pizza deck with any type of baking oil.

• Scrape off burnt residue from pizza deck daily with a deck brush.

Buildup can cause an “off” flavor and increase bake time.

• Frozen items cannot be placed directly on hot deck to thaw.

Place food onto a screen or into a pan.

• Increase temperature during heavy production times to maintain ideal baking temperature.

Be sure to decrease it when rush slows to prevent burning.

• Pizza with heavy toppings requires a lower temperature and longer baking time.

• If toppings need more time to cook, a piece of screen placed under pizza can prevent bottom from overcooking.
