seconds or until pilot remains on.

Lighting Instructions for the Optional 115 Volt Control
1. Connect the cord and plug to a 115 volt supply.
2. Continue with steps 1-6 under LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS above.
USING THE GPO72 Pizza Oven
All that is required to turn the oven on is to set the thermostat dial to the desired temperature. To turn
the oven off, turn the thermostat dial to the OFF position.
For an extended shutdown, turn thermostat dial to the OFF position and turn gas valve knob to the OFF
position. For optional 115 volt model, also unplug the power cord.
Preheating
After lighting the burners, allow the oven to preheat to the desired temperature. This will require
approximately 30 minutes. An additional 10-15 minutes is helpful, before starting to bake, to allow
temperature to stabilize throughout the oven.
Baking
Recommended pizza baking time is 7-10 minutes at 500°F to 550°F. Variations of both time and
temperature may be desirable to meet individual requirements.
CLEANING
WARNING: IF APPLICABLE, DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING.
Daily
Clean the exterior finish of the oven with a mild solution of grease dissolving material. If this is done
every day, before grease is burned on, time and work will be saved.
Clean the oven and the oven door daily, especially if there have been spillovers.
STAINLESS STEEL CLEANING PROCEDURES
For routine cleaning of stainless steel, use ordinary soap or detergent and water. To prevent water
spots and streaks, rinse equipment thoroughly with warm water and wipe dry with a soft, clean cloth.
The addition of a rinsing agent will also help prevent spotting.
