Presto Pizzazz Plus

The Pizzazz is a rotating oven. It features two triangular heating elements, one above and one below a rotating aluminium dish. The upper element has a fan to facilitate convection.

Use

Risk of electric shock, burns: Do not plug it in yet.

  1. Place center pivot of Pizzazz dish on the peg on the edge of the bottom element.
  2. Ensure the dish is located into the peg properly. It will rotate and “click” into place.
  3. Now plug in the unit. Ensure the dish rotates freely.
  4. Put food to be heated on the dish.
  5. Select “Upper”, “Lower” or “Dual” cooking elements. Dual is recommended. There is a menu of recommended cook times and element selections for pizza on the back of the unit.
  6. Set the cook time. Unit will begin heating as soon as dial is turned.
  7. Supervise. Unit will “ding” when done. To stop early, turn the dial down to “0” until a “ding” is sounded.
  8. Remove food from dish. Do not cut pizza or food on dish. Do not use metal tools to remove food from dish. Use plastic tongs.

In Case Of Fire

  1. Unplug unit.
  2. Once unplugged: Use water. Small amounts of grease (e.g., hot dogs, sausages) are not enough to cause flare-ups.
  3. If that fails, use fire blanket or extinguisher as necessary.
  4. Follow fire.

Care and handling

Supervise cooking.

Hand wash the dish with light dish soap only. Do not place dish in dishwasher.

Make sure to run the unit for at least 5 minutes after cooking with the elements off (timer at “0”) before unplugging.

Make sure food is completely onto the dish. Overhanging food can be a fire hazard and will contact the back of the unit, causing a mess.

Make sure food completely fits under top element, and will NEVER contact top element.

Do not cook rising foods that will contact upper element.

Do not oil, grease or butter the cooking dish. The dish is non-stick coated. Stuck-on crumbs, food or grease will rinse off under hot water, or pick off with a fingernail, brush or soft plastic utensil.

DO NOT scrape pan, or use metal tools on pan.

NEVER cut pizza on pan. Use a cutting board, or use the cardboard from the pizza box/wrap as a cutting surface.
