OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The NU-VU
®
PMA-5/12 and PMA-5/18 Pizza Ovens are 5-Deck Ovens ideally suited for
the rapid and continuous production of 12" to 18" pizzas. Each is simple and easy to install
while the front-view glass Door and basic controls make it just as easy to operate. The
unique partitioned Door allows the loading and unloading of each Baking Deck
independently of the others, without opening the entire front of the unit, thereby reducing
temperature fluctuations and eliminating lengthy recovery times.
These simple basic procedures should guide you through the operating process. If you have
any questions, problems or comments please call NU-VU
®
toll-free at (906) 863-4401 and
ask for the Service Department. Someone there will be glad to assist you.
A. Make sure the Oven has been cleaned, and that all interior parts that may have been removed are
installed correctly and fastened securely. Close the Oven Door securely and make sure all the Door
Partitions operate freely and open fully.
B. Set the Power Switch to the ON position. The interior lights will come on and the Motor Blower
Wheel will rotate in a counter-clockwise direction (as viewed from inside the Oven).
C. Set the Temperature Control to the desired operating temperature (usually 450° to 500°F for pizzas)
and allow the Oven to heat up. Your Oven is ready for use when the Temperature Control Indicator
Light goes out. The Oven should reach its operating temperature in approximately 15-18 minutes;
you can use this time to prepare your product.
D. Enter the baking time into the digital Timer for each Baking Deck (refer to the TIMER
INSTRUCTIONS).
E. Push in and lock down the small Door Lever for the Deck you wish to load.
F. Use a pizza paddle to load your product on that Deck. Release the Door Lever; the Door Partition
will swing back up to close the Deck opening.
G. Start the Timer.
H. Check your product when the Timer Alarm sounds. Unload your finished product by reversing the
procedures in steps "E" and "F".
I. Adjust the temperature and time settings if necessary and reload the Oven with more product.
J. When you have finished using your PMA-5/12 or PMA-5/18 for the day set the Power Switch to the
OFF position and complete the procedures outlined under MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING.
