ASSEMBLY
Your SODIR pizza oven comes from the factory fully assembled, with the pizza stone
shipped on top. The ovens are shipped with plastic exterior protective film, which must be
removed before operation. DO NOT operate the oven prior to removing the protective film
completely! Clean the unit thoroughly, inside and out, using a soft cloth dampened with a
solution of soap and water, before first use. DO NOT allow the pizza stone to get wet!
Place the pizza stone gently in the bottom of the oven, over the infra-red quartz tubes.
OPERATION
Preheating
To preheat the pizza oven, select the temperature by rotating both thermostat knobs clockwise
to the desired setting and then turn the timer knob, which is also the ON/OFF switch,
counter-clockwise to the constant-on position. Both indicator lights (green and orange or
red) will be lit. The orange or red light will stay on until the oven reaches the desired
temperature, and then cycle on and off. The green light will stay on until the timer expires.
Allow about 20 minutes for the preheating process.
Cooking
After the preheat process is completed, select the desired temperature on the top thermostat
and set the bottom thermostat (1-9 setting + constant on position). Turn the timer knob to
select the time setting on the 15-minute timer. When the set time has elapsed, the heating
elements will turn off, the indicator lights will go out and the timer bell will chime,
announcing the end of the cycle. To use the oven in continuous mode, turn the timer knob
counterclockwise to the position marked by the hand pictograph. Cooking time will vary
depending on toppings, crust thickness, temperature settings and desired results, but is
generally between 3 and 6 minutes.
The bottom thermostat is also controlled by the top thermostat. The bottom heating elements
will never be on when the top elements are off. For thin crust pizza, the bottom thermostat
should be set at a high setting (recommendation: 8 or 9), or in the ‘C’ constant on position.
For thicker crust, the bottom thermostat should be set lower (recommendation 6 or 7), to allow
slower and continual cooking of the crust. While designed for superior cooking of pizza,
