Using Your Pizza Maker - COURANT CPM-1240R Manual De Usuario

USING YOUR PIZZA MAKER

Your new Pizza Maker has three temperature settings: 355°F, 385°F and 410°F, and a timer that
goes from 0 to 30 minutes.
1. Place the unit on a clean, dry, heat resistant flat surface, such as a table or countertop.
2. To maintain the quality of the nonstick finish on your Pizza Maker, we recommend
using a paper towel or silicone basting brush to coat the nonstick surfaces with a small
amount of vegetable oil or a nonstick cooking spray, and then wipe the excess oil off.
3. Close the Pizza Maker and plug it into the wall outlet.
4. To preheat the Pizza Maker, set the timer to 10 minutes and the temperature control
to 410°F. The red indicator light (Power-On) will illuminate and stay on while the unit is
active. When the green Indicator Light (Ready-to-Bake) illuminates, it indicates that the
Pizza Maker has finished preheating and is ready to use.
5. After the Pizza Maker has been preheated, place your homemade or frozen pizza or
other food on the bottom nonstick baking surface. The green indicator light will turn
off. If baking pizza, you can set the timer to 15 minutes and the temperature control to
410°F. If cooking other kinds of food, you can set the appropriate time and temperature
according to the recipe.
6. Gently close the lid and let the unit cook. After the time has elapsed, the timer will emit
a bell sound and the unit will automatically shut off. Your pizza or food is now ready (you
can use the tip of a spatula to lift the edge of the pizza to check if the bottom crust has
baked to your preference). When cooking other kinds of food, it is recommended to stir
or flip the ingredients periodically in order to ensure that they are cooked evenly.
7. To remove the pizza or the other food from the Pizza Maker, always use a heat resistant
plastic, nylon, silicone or wooden spatula. Never use a sharp or metal object, as this will
damage the nonstick coating of the baking surface.
8. The unit can open completely flat (180°), which allows it to be used as a table grill. You
can cook different kinds of food on your Pizza Maker. Set the time and the temperature
required to cook the ingredients thoroughly. If cooking on the bottom baking surface
only, close the lid to shorten the total cooking time as the Pizza Maker works more
efficiently and distributes heat more evenly.
9. Remove the plug from the wall outlet, let the Pizza Maker open and allow it to cool down
completely.
10. Clean the Pizza Maker with a damp cloth or soft brush. Never use harsh and abrasive
cleaners, a scouring pad, or steel wool which can damage the surface.
11. Never immerse the Pizza Maker in water or any other liquid.
BAKING ADDITIONAL PIZZAS
1. If baking additional pizzas, keep the Pizza Maker lid closed to retain heat. Always wait
until the green (Ready-to-Bake) Indicator Light illuminates before adding another pizza.
2. Additional pizzas may bake quicker than your first baked pizza, since extra heat has been
retained inside your Pizza Maker. It may be necessary to adjust to a shorter baking time.
