Consult the manual of the Patio Cooker
before lighting the device.
Never light a Patio Cooker with a lid when the
lid is closed, light with an open lid and ensure
that the Patio Cooker is steadily burning
before closing the lid.
BEFORE FIRST USE
Before cooking food, first clean the parts with
a damp cloth and allow the pizza stone to dry
completely, as it may crack if heated when
wet.
For this reason, do not immerse the pizza
stone in water.
Before the first food preparation, let the
appliance burn for 10 to 15 minutes at the
highest setting with the lid closed. This will
eliminate any residual odours.
THE PIZZA FUNCTION
Why is it difficult to bake a good pizza at
home?
The temperature in a wood-fired oven reaches
350 to 550 °C after a couple hours. This
temperature and the ingredients of a pizza
form the ideal combination, thus creating a
perfect pizza. Anyone who has ever tried this
knows that it is impossible in a standard oven.
With the Pizza function of our Patio Cooker
you can come close to the results of a
wood-fired oven.
For baking pizza, this combination can reach
temperatures of 350 °C.
Take these high temperatures and fast baking
times into account. Experiment with different
heating times and temperatures for optimal
results.

CAUTION!
When using the Pizza function, the ventilation

NEVER light the Patio Cooker with the lid
closed. Only close the lid after the Patio
Cooker has been burning for a while.
Preheat the appliance for 15 minutes, or to
300 °C.
