IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
To reduce the risk of personal injury or property damage when using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
- Read all instructions.
- Do not touch hot surfaces.
- To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse the rotating oven, except the removable baking pan, in water or other liquid.
- Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
- Do not leave the unit unattended.
- Unplug from the outlet after using and before cleaning.
- Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or in the event the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the Presto Factory Service Department for examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment.
- The use of accessory attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury. Use only genuine Presto® accessory attachments and replacement parts.
Important Cord and Plug Information
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Important Information
- Never leave the unit unattended. Pizza ingredients and other foods burn and smoke when overcooked and in extreme situations may even ignite. The amount of rising that occurs on rising crust pizzas varies from pizza to pizza. In rare instances, at the end of the cooking cycle, a rising crust may rise so high that it touches the upper heating element, scorching the crust and overcooking the pizza toppings. This situation can be avoided simply by turning the timer dial to “0” before the overcooking/overrising occurs.
- Do not preheat the rotating oven. Preheating an empty baking pan may damage the pan finish. • Never use the Pizzazz® Plus rotating oven to cook or grill raw fish, poultry, or meats (e.g., bacon, chicken, hamburgers, or steaks) as this may damage the unit.
- Never wrap the baking pan or any portion of the rotating oven with aluminum foil.
- Never operate the unit if the pan is not rotating.
- Close adult supervision is necessary whenever using this appliance with children present.
- Never touch the food or any metal parts on the unit while it is operating. They are very hot.
- Always remove the baking pan from the unit when baking is completed. Operating the rotating oven with an empty baking pan or placing an empty baking pan on the unit before the unit has cooled may result in damage to the baking pan finish.
Pizza Cooking Chart
The following times are for cooking 9- to 12-inch pizzas. The times are approximate. If cooking 7- or 8-inch pizzas, you may need to reduce the cooking times by 1 to 2 minutes. When the cheese is melted and bubbling, the pizza is done. At the end of the cooking time, if you would like a crispier crust, slide the switch to LOWER; if you would like the toppings more done, slide the switch to UPPER. Then reset the timer by turning it beyond “4” and then back to 1 or 2 minutes and cook until the pizza is done to your satisfaction. Do not leave the unit unattended.
Care and Cleaning
- Always remove baking pan from the unit when baking is completed.
- Allow the rotating oven to run for 60 to 90 seconds, then unplug from an outlet and allow the entire unit to cool completely before cleaning.
- Wash the nonstick baking pan after each use in warm, sudsy water to remove grease and food residue, rinse, and dry. If necessary, the pan may be cleaned with a nylon mesh pad.
- Occasionally, wipe the exterior of the rotating oven with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Never immerse the rotating oven, except the baking pan, in water or other liquid. Do not wash in the dishwasher.
- If necessary, the outer rim of the element trays may be cleaned with a nylon mesh pad to remove any food residue. Do not use steel wool scouring pads or abrasive kitchen cleansers on any part of the rotating oven.
Basic Pizza Dough
Dissolve sugar in water. Sprinkle yeast over the water mixture; stir to dissolve. Let proof for 5 minutes until bubbly. Put 2½ cups flour in a large bowl. Make a well in the center. Add salt in well. Pour in yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir to form a soft dough. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, 5 to 10 minutes, adding flour gradually as needed.
Transfer dough to a lightly oiled large bowl, rolling dough to coat with oil. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Punch dough down with a fist. Turn the dough out onto the lightly floured surface and shape it into 1 or 2 balls. Cover with a towel and let rest for 15 to 20 minutes. Roll or stretch dough to a 12-inch diameter and place on a Presto® Pizzazz® Plus baking pan.

Questions and Answers
When I plug in my rotating oven and set the timer, the pan does not rotate or only rotates partially and then stops. Why?
- The baking pan may not be positioned correctly on the unit. In order for the pan to rotate, the pan hub must be seated over the
drive shaft. - The pan may possibly be damaged. Feel around the inside and outside edge of the pan for any dents. In addition, set the pan
upside down on a flat surface to see if it sits level. If there are any dents in the pan edge or if the pan wobbles when set upside
down on a flat surface, the pan may only rotate partially and then stall. If your pan is damaged, it will need to be replaced in
order for the unit to function correctly.
The baking pan rotates, but my pizza/food does not cook. Why?
- You have failed to turn the timer past the 4-minute mark. The timer has a dual function. Once the timer is set, the heating
elements will turn on and begin cooking the pizza/food. When the time has expired, the timer will ring and the heating
elements will shut off. - The heat element selector switch may be between two settings. Slide the switch to the appropriate setting (LOWER–DUAL–
UPPER).
