Troubleshooting Common Issues

Key points

• Soggy bottom: oven not fully preheated, or too many wet toppings.
• Burnt top, raw bottom: reduce temperature, use fewer toppings on top.
• Dough sticks to peel: use more semolina, work faster, or build pizza on parchment.
• Uneven browning: the rotary deck should prevent this — check if stone is level.
• Oven won't heat: check power connection, ensure dial is turned on.
• Smoke during first use: normal — manufacturing residues burning off.
• Pizza won't slide off peel: jerking motion too gentle — be more decisive.
• Crust too thick: stretch dough thinner, or reduce dough ball size.
