Apuro CJ373-A Commercial 16" Firestone Electric Pizza Oven (2.4kW)

The Apuro CJ373-A Commercial 16" Firestone Electric Pizza Oven is a heavy-duty, compact countertop deck oven engineered specifically for Australian pizzerias, cafes, pubs, food trucks, snack bars, catering businesses, and takeaway venues. Sized at 630 mm Wide x 510 mm Deep x 280 mm High and weighing 22.6 kg, this high-performance pizza oven accommodates a single 16-inch pizza (or multiple smaller artisan pizzas), making it an ideal solution for generating high-margin menu offerings in venues with limited kitchen space.

Built with a premium 15 mm thick cordierite firestone base, the CJ373-A distributes heat evenly across the cooking deck (415 mm x 415 mm), delivering perfectly crispy thin-crust bases as well as rich Chicago-style deep-dish pizzas. Featuring independently controlled top and bottom heating elements, double-insulated cavity walls, a heat-resistant glass viewing door with internal chamber lighting, an adjustable 50°C to 400°C thermostat, and a 30-minute timer, it operates on a standard single-phase 220–240V / 10A power plug (2.4 kW load). Designed for modular growth, it can be stacked up to 3 units high to triple production output without taking up extra bench space, and comes backed standard by a 2-Year Commercial Manufacturer Warranty.

Selecting the Apuro CJ373-A Electric Deck Oven equips kitchen managers, venue operators, and pizzerias with an energy-efficient, easy-to-use baking platform designed for consistent results, fast recovery times, and minimal power overheads.

Key benefits of the Apuro CJ373-A include:

• Premium 15mm Firestone Deck (16" Capacity): 415 mm x 415 mm stone floor absorbs moisture and retains intense thermal mass to produce authentic, crispy pizza bases and deep-dish crusts.

• Independent Top & Bottom Element Controls: Dual front-mounted thermostat dials allow staff to fine-tune upper and lower heat intensity independently, ensuring cheese melts perfectly without burning the crust base.

• High-Temperature Performance (50°C to 400°C): Wide operating temperature range reaches up to 400°C for rapid high-heat pizza baking, garlic breads, flatbreads, and baked pasta dishes.

• Double-Insulated Energy-Saving Cavity: Reinforced insulated oven walls contain internal heat effectively, reducing heat-up times, lowering kitchen ambient temperatures, and cutting running costs.

• Stackable Design (Up to 3 High): Modular chassis allows up to 3 CJ373-A units to be stacked vertically, tripling cooking output without expanding your counter footprint.

• Internal Light & Glass Viewing Door: Heat-resistant glass door combined with internal chamber lighting allows staff to monitor baking progress without opening the door and losing heat.

• Standard 10A Plug & Play Power: Powered by a 2.4 kW electric element operating on a standard Australian single-phase 220–240V 10A plug, requiring no expensive electrician hardwiring.

• Durable Stainless Steel Body: High-grade commercial stainless steel exterior stands up to heavy commercial use and wipes down easily during end-of-shift cleaning.

Operating & Cleaning Guidelines

1. Setup & Seasoning: Place the oven on a level, heat-resistant surface. Before cooking your first pizza, heat the oven with the 15 mm firestone deck inside at 200°C for 30 minutes to burn off manufacturing oils and season the stone.

2. Pre-Heating & Baking: Set your top and bottom heat dials to the desired cooking temperature (typically 300°C to 350°C for stone-baked pizzas) and allow 20 to 25 minutes for the stone deck to pre-heat thoroughly. Launch your 16" pizza directly onto the firestone floor using a wooden or aluminum pizza peel.

3. Daily Maintenance & Stone Care: Always allow the oven and firestone to cool completely before cleaning. Brush off loose cornmeal, flour, and charred crumbs using a natural bristle pizza oven brush. Never apply water, soap, or wet towels directly to a hot firestone, as thermal shock can cause the stone to crack. Wipe down the stainless steel exterior with a soft cloth and a mild food-safe sanitiser.
