The oven accepts pizza up to 12 inches wide, provides a timer range of 1 to 30 minutes, and automatically enters a preheat stage when cooking temperature is selected.

Beyond pizza, the manual lists foods such as pita, naan, pie, cookies, crackers, bagels, quesadillas, calzones, stromboli and roasted vegetables as suitable examples. It also places specific limits on greasy or splattering foods because of the oven’s high operating temperatures. Bella-PRO-Blaze-Pizza-Oven-User…

Hot Surface Warning

The oven produces substantial heat and remains hot during operation.

The manual recommends protective oven mitts or gloves and long-handled utensils when working with hot food or accessories. Bella-PRO-Blaze-Pizza-Oven-User…

Hot containers should be removed with particular care. Bella-PRO-Blaze-Pizza-Oven-User…

Ventilation and Placement

Adequate open space should be provided around and above the oven so air can circulate.

Do not operate it:

• Against curtains
• Against wall coverings
• Near clothing or dish towels
• Near other flammable materials
• In an unstable position Bella-PRO-Blaze-Pizza-Oven-User…

The oven should never be left unattended while operating. Bella-PRO-Blaze-Pizza-Oven-User…

Electrical Requirements

The power cord should be plugged directly into a 120V AC electrical wall outlet. Bella-PRO-Blaze-Pizza-Oven-User…

The manual also recommends operating the pizza oven on a separate electrical circuit. Sharing an overloaded circuit with other appliances can affect operation. Bella-PRO-Blaze-Pizza-Oven-User…

Polarized Plug

The appliance uses a polarized plug with one blade wider than the other.

If it will not fit into the outlet:

1. Reverse the plug.
2. Try again.
3. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.

The plug should not be modified. Bella-PRO-Blaze-Pizza-Oven-User…

Extension Cord Instructions

If an extension cord or longer detachable power cord is used:

• Its electrical rating must be at least as high as the appliance’s rating.
• A grounded appliance requires a three-wire grounding cord.
• The cord should not hang over a table or countertop where children can pull it or someone can trip over it. Bella-PRO-Blaze-Pizza-Oven-User…

Countertop Protection

The manual recommends placing a non-plastic coaster or placemat between the appliance and a finished countertop or table.

This helps reduce the chance of:

• Darkening
• Permanent marks
• Staining caused by plasticizer migration Bella-PRO-Blaze-Pizza-Oven-User…

Before Using the Pizza Oven for the First Time

Smoke or Odor During First Use

Some smell or smoke may occur during the initial 15-minute heating cycle.

The manual describes this as normal and harmless, caused by the protective substance on the heating elements burning away. Bella-PRO-Blaze-Pizza-Oven-User…

Pizza Size Limit

Pizza cooked directly on the stone must be no wider than:

12 inches

It must also fit comfortably without contacting either the upper or lower heating elements. Bella-PRO-Blaze-Pizza-Oven-User…

How to Use the BELLA PRO Blaze Pizza Oven+

Step 1: Plug In the Oven

Connect the oven to the wall outlet.

An audible tone sounds, the LED display lights briefly and the appliance then enters standby mode. Bella-PRO-Blaze-Pizza-Oven-User…

Step 2: Install the Pizza Stone

Place the pizza stone inside the oven.

The manual identifies the stone as a required accessory and instructs users to keep it in the oven during operation. Bella-PRO-Blaze-Pizza-Oven-User…

Do not place cookware directly onto the lower heating element. Bella-PRO-Blaze-Pizza-Oven-User…

Step 3: Wake the Controls

Press the Temperature knob.

The LED display illuminates. Bella-PRO-Blaze-Pizza-Oven-User…

Step 4: Set the Cooking Temperature

Rotate the Temperature knob clockwise.

Choose a temperature between:

300°F and 750°F

The temperature changes in 5°F increments. Bella-PRO-Blaze-Pizza-Oven-User…

Step 5: Begin Preheating

Press the Temperature knob after choosing the temperature.

The display shows:

Pre Heat

while the oven heats. Bella-PRO-Blaze-Pizza-Oven-User…

Three beeps sound when preheating is complete.

Preheating time varies and can take up to approximately 20 minutes. Bella-PRO-Blaze-Pizza-Oven-User…

Step 6: Place the Pizza on the Stone

Use the pizza peel to transfer the pizza onto the hot pizza stone.

Close the oven door carefully. Bella-PRO-Blaze-Pizza-Oven-User…

The manual specifies that the pizza stone should remain inside the oven rather than placing food or cookware directly on the lower heater. Bella-PRO-Blaze-Pizza-Oven-User…

Step 7: Set the Cooking Time

Rotate the Timer knob clockwise to choose a cooking time between 1 and 30 minutes.

Press the Timer knob to begin counting down. If it is not pressed, the countdown begins automatically after about five seconds. Bella-PRO-Blaze-Pizza-Oven-User…

The timer cannot be set while the oven is still in the preheat stage. Bella-PRO-Blaze-Pizza-Oven-User…

Step 8: Let the Pizza Cook

During cooking, the LED screen shows the remaining time.

The manual advises minimizing unnecessary door opening because opening the oven releases heat and can affect cooking performance. Bella-PRO-Blaze-Pizza-Oven-User…

Step 9: End of Cooking

When the timer reaches 0:00:

• Five audible tones sound.
• End appears on the display. Bella-PRO-Blaze-Pizza-Oven-User…

Important: The Heat Does Not Shut Off When the Timer Ends

The timer ending does not automatically turn off the oven’s heat.

The oven must be switched off manually by pressing the Temperature knob or unplugging the appliance. Bella-PRO-Blaze-Pizza-Oven-User…

This is one of the most important operating details in the manual.

Step 10: Remove the Pizza

Open the oven door and use the pizza peel to remove the cooked food.

Oven mitts or protective gloves should be used because the oven and accessories remain very hot. Bella-PRO-Blaze-Pizza-Oven-User… Bella-PRO-Blaze-Pizza-Oven-User…

Step 11: Unplug After Use

Unplug the oven when cooking is complete and allow it to cool fully before cleaning. Bella-PRO-Blaze-Pizza-Oven-User…

How to Cancel Cooking Early

If the food is ready before the timer reaches zero, press the Timer knob to cancel the remaining countdown. Bella-PRO-Blaze-Pizza-Oven-User…

Because cancelling the timer does not necessarily shut off the heating system, the Temperature knob should also be used when the user wants to turn the oven off. Bella-PRO-Blaze-Pizza-Oven-User…

Timer Must Be Set for Operation

The manual states that the Timer knob must be set and pressed for the pizza oven to function. Bella-PRO-Blaze-Pizza-Oven-User…

If no cooking time is selected after approximately 10 minutes, the unit automatically turns off. Bella-PRO-Blaze-Pizza-Oven-User…

How to Change Fahrenheit to Celsius

To switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius:

1. Locate the Temperature knob.
2. Press and hold it for approximately 5 seconds.
3. The display changes to the alternate temperature scale. Bella-PRO-Blaze-Pizza-Oven-User…

Foods Suitable for the Pizza Oven

The manual provides examples of foods considered suitable for the appliance.

The table on page 6 of the numbered manual lists these alongside foods the manufacturer recommends avoiding. Bella-PRO-Blaze-Pizza-Oven-User…

Foods the Manual Recommends Avoiding

The manual lists the following under Avoid cooking in pizza oven:

Bella-PRO-Blaze-Pizza-Oven-User…

Greasy Food Temperature Limit

For greasy foods, the manual states that the highest permitted cooking temperature is:

450°F Bella-PRO-Blaze-Pizza-Oven-User…

Greasy foods should also not be placed directly on the pizza stone. Instead, use suitable cookware that can withstand the selected oven temperature. Bella-PRO-Blaze-Pizza-Oven-User…

Using Cookware in the Blaze Pizza Oven+

The manual advises keeping cookware at least 1½ inches below the upper heating elements and paying close attention to the cookware’s temperature rating because the pizza oven can reach 750°F. Bella-PRO-Blaze-Pizza-Oven-User…

The document contains inconsistent wording about glass and ceramic cookware: one section states that metal, ovenproof glass and ceramic bakeware without lids can be used, while a later operating instruction warns against glass, ceramic pans or containers with lids. Bella-PRO-Blaze-Pizza-Oven-User… Bella-PRO-Blaze-Pizza-Oven-User…

Because the wording conflicts within the document, users should follow the cookware manufacturer’s temperature rating and contact BELLA customer service when compatibility is uncertain.

Using Aluminum Foil

Food that requires covering may be covered with aluminum foil.

The foil should be tucked against the sides of the baking dish or pan. Bella-PRO-Blaze-Pizza-Oven-User…

Do not cover the oven itself or any part of the appliance with foil, because doing so can cause overheating. Bella-PRO-Blaze-Pizza-Oven-User…

USDA Cooking Guidelines Printed in the Manual
