1. GENERAL SAFETY

HOT!

The inside of the oven can reach very high temperatures. Therefore the door and glass can get especially hot. Please use caution when operating the oven.

FIRE HAZARD!

Do not store any materials on the cooking surface

An external timer should not be used

The oven should be used according to the user manual

Do not repair or replace any part of the oven unless otherwise specified in the user manual. All other servicing must be done by a qualified technician

Do not store anything on top of the oven.

VERY HEAVY!

The oven with the stones inside weighs 180 kg (400 lbs). Remove all 3 stones before attempting to move the oven. The stones weigh 13 kg (30 lbs) each so remove with caution. Please wait for the stones to cool down to room temperature before removing them. Moving and lifting the oven should not be attempted without at least 3 able-bodied people or with the assistance of heavy lifting equipment.

GROUNDING

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. The oven must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

4. Unboxing and installation

CAUTION: If the oven is not leveled, the door may swing closed when left open. Please adjust the feet to ensure your oven is leveled. If you are putting your oven on a table, please make sure the table is rated to carry the weight of the oven (170kg).

WARNING: Before connecting the oven to the power socket, please remove the cardboard boxes inside the oven. Failure to do so may result in fire.

Setting up your oven:

Plug in your oven and turn on the switch at the back of the oven. Your oven will now power up and your display will show the serial number of your oven and the software version it is running before showing the homepage of the oven (this may take up to 30 seconds).

IMPORTANT

To minimize warpage and maximize the life of the stones, they must be pre-dried before use. Let the baking stones adjust to room temperature before beginning. Please refer to the stone-curing process document for further information.

6. Connecting Your Oven to WIFI

We strongly recommend connecting your oven to WiFi immediately upon receiving it. This online connection enables us to provide crucial software updates that enhance the oven's reliability and performance, as well as introduce exciting new features and functions as they become available. Moreover, having your oven connected allows us to offer technical support for any baking inquiries or troubleshooting needs you may have, ensuring a seamless experience.

To make the process effortless for you, we've crafted step-by-step instructional videos that simplify the oven connection setup. The process may vary slightly if you are using an iPhone or Android device; hence, we've dedicated separate videos for each platform:

7. Operation

There are three knobs on the oven. The leftmost knob is the steam knob. The knob in the middle is the power knob. This controls the lights and the heaters. The knob on the right is the temperature knob. This is used to set your desired baking temperature and is used to access the menu.

Power Knob

To turn on the oven lights, rotate the power knob 1 click to the right (clockwise). To turn the oven on to bake mode, rotate the knob an additional click. The heaters will start heating at this point.

Temperature Knob

Use this knob to set your desired baking temperature. Rotate the knob to select your desired baking temperature. 

To access the menu, press and hold the C/F knob. Rotate the knob to scroll through the menu and press the knob in to select a desired page.

Steam Knob

Rotate the knob to select the desired amount of seconds worth of steam you'd like to generate (we recommend 3 - 5 seconds). Press the knob in to activate the steam. The display will countdown the seconds and then reset so it is ready to use with just a click of the knob next time.

We recommend ‘pre-steaming’ for 1 - 2 seconds max to prime the system with water. This should be done before loading the oven with dough. After loading the oven with your dough and shutting the door, we recommend steaming for 3 to 5 seconds. This will release a significant amount of water (approx 8ml/s). Please be aware that steaming multiple times during a bake could result in the oven leaking water through the door.

NOTE: Please verify that there is enough water in the reservoir before each steam generation.

7. Temperature and adjustments

What makes the Simply Bread Oven special is the ability to fine-tune the heating intensity on each deck to ensure your oven is baking as evenly as possible. You can access these settings through the menu by pressing and holding the C/F knob and selecting Setpoints. 

Decks 1, 2 & 3

Each deck is adjustable +/- 20%. We recommend adjusting it in increments of 5% to start with and fine tuning it from there. E.g. if you feel that your top deck is baking hotter than the bottom two decks, go into “Deck 1” and adjust the setting from 0% to -5%. Do a test bake with these adjustments and if you feel it was adjusted a little too much, you can reduce the adjustment to -4% or -3% etc. The same applies for all three decks.

Bottom Stone %

The bottom stone percentage specifically affects the temperature of the bottom stone. The default setting for the bottom stone is 75% and your oven will come set this way. If the bases of the loaves from your bottom deck are burning, lower this % (we recommend 5% increments). If the bases are not getting dark enough, raise the %.

 

8. Software updates (OTA)

The Simply Bread Oven comes with the unique ability to update the software through your WiFi connection. These updates are pushed out every few weeks and are needed to ensure the proper performance of the oven. The software updates take less than 60 seconds. The oven display will turn off while the system reboots with the new update. To verify what software version your oven is currently on, go into the menu page and scroll down to the INFO tab. Click on that to see your oven serial number, software version and firmware version. To exit this page, press the C/F knob.

9. Care and maintenance

WARNING: Only clean the oven after it has cooled down to room temperature. Make sure the oven is disconnected from the power supply before doing any cleaning.

Water reservoir cleaning

The water reservoir can be removed for cleaning. Rotate the reservoir counterclockwise to remove. The reservoir is made from stainless steel and can therefore be cleaned in a dishwasher. Please make sure that the reservoir is empty before removing it.

Oven exterior

Clean the surfaces with a damp microfiber cloth. If the surfaces are very dirty, add a few drops of washing up detergent to the water. Finish off with a dry cloth.

Clean the door glass with a suitable glass cleaner (e.g. Windex).

To avoid damage to stainless steel surfaces, do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool pads or abrasive paper towels.

Any stainless steel cleaner will work to clean the Simply Bread Oven.

Oven interior

Clean the door glass with a suitable liquid detergent.

Use a soft bristle brush to clean the crumbs, extra flour.

Users should not dislocate the heating elements during cleaning.

Do not use alcohol, paint thinner or gasoline to clean the appliance

Changing the oven light bulbs

• Switch off the oven
• Disconnect the oven from the power supply
• Don’t touch the glass of the bulb with bare hands
• The oven must be cool in order to change the lights
• Remove the glass of the light
• Replace the bulbs with a G9 240V bulb
• Mount the glass
• NOTE: Your oven comes with 25W bulbs. This is the wattage we recommend, but you can use up to a 40W bulb. Do not use bulbs higher than 40W.

11. Disposal

When your Simply Bread Oven reaches the end of its lifespan, it is important to dispose of it in an environmentally responsible manner. Check with local authorities or waste management services for guidance on proper disposal methods, as regulations may vary. Many parts of the appliance, such as metal and electronics, can be recycled, so it’s best to take it to a designated recycling facility if available. Avoid disposing of the oven with general household waste to help reduce environmental impact and support sustainable practices.
