The user can adjust the cooking time according to the pizza size and toppings. Tip 1: put the sauce and ingredients evenly on the flattened dough to help prevent dough bubbles forming during cooking..

Tip 2: You can bake the flattened dough to be half cooked in around 2 minutes. Remember to flip the dough and press it during baking to avoid the dough bubbles. Then put the sauce and ingredients evenly on the half cooked dough. Finish cooking for around 1:30 minutes. By doing this, the dough will be thinner and crispier.

NEAPOLITAN (433°C)

"NEAPOLITAN" PIZZA mode is set to 433°C. Famous for its airy and light crust with distinct blisters and leopard spotting produced (traditionally) by the high heat of a wood-fired oven. In this mode the oven provides more temperature compensation during cooking to help bake the perfect Neapolitan pizza, which requires very high temperatures and short cooking times. The higher the temperature, the more difficult it is to make a good pizza. To acheive the perfect Neapolitan pizza can require practice and perserverance. The user can adjust the cooking time according to the pizza size and toppings. Typically Neapolitan pizzas cook in 2 minutes or less.

STEAK (300°C)

"STEAK" mode is set to 300°C. The user can adjust the cooking time according to the steak size and cut. Tips: It is very important to choose heat- resistant cookingware for high temperatures, such as cast iron plates or pans, because high temperatures can damage the coating of some non heat-resistant cookingware. The cast iron plate (or similar) should be put in the oven at the beginning of preheating to ensure it gets hot enough. When preheating finishes, place the steak on the cast iron plate and cook, flipping once, until the desired level of 'doneness' is reached. You decide the cooking time according to the degree of cooking that you like.

MANUAL

MANUAL mode is reached by rotating the knob past the Preset options. The user can choose a temperature from 100°C to 450°C and can adjust the working power of top and bottom heating according to different food, cooking styles and personal preference. This enables you to fully customise how the oven functions. Considering this degree of customisation, MANUAL mode is recommended for the experienced cook or users who can operate the oven well.
