Rotating spit
Th
e rotating spit is used with the upper heat
function; in addition, the hot-air convection
function can be selected.
 When food is put on the spit, make sure
that it cannot come into contact with
the heating elements; ensure suffi
cient
distance.
– Make sure that the spit pierces through the
middle of the food. Th is is to ensure that
there is suffi cient distance between the
oven interior and the heating elements.
Use the holding clamps to secure it in the
centre of the spit.
– Any protruding parts (e.g. wings of a
chicken) should be held in with a tooth-
pick, a suitable piece of string or other
suitable means. Th
is ensures that no part
of the food can stick out or come off
during the cooking process.
– Inserting and removing the rotating spit:
- Once the food has been securely
attached, place the spit onto the handle
with its tip facing right. Ensure that the
indentation in the handle fi ts securely
into the corresponding recess in the spit.
- Place the idle end of the spit into its
holding bracket on the opposite side (see
picture I).
- Slide the spit end-piece with the drive
unit connection into the drive unit (see
picture II).
- Ensure that the spit end is securely
engaged into the lower, narrow part of
the holding bracket (idle side).
- To remove the spit, follow these steps in
reverse order.
Start up
– Clean the appliance (see General care
and cleaning) and remove any packing
materials completely.
– Before using the appliance for the fi rst
time, let it heat up for 15 minutes with
both heating elements on. When the
appliance is fi rst switched on, a slight
smell may be emitted. Th
is is normal and
will only last for a very short time. Ensure
suffi
cient ventilation.
Operation
– Before using the appliance, make sure
that the crumb tray is fi tted in its proper
position underneath the lower heating
element.
– Pre-heat the oven compartment for several
minutes with the door closed, using both
heating elements. Set the temperature
control knob to the required level and use
the timer control to select the desired pre-
heating time.
– Place the food to be cooked on the grill
rack, the baking tray or the rotating spit.
When cooking food containing fat or
moisture, use the baking tray to stop any
drips into the interior of the appliance.
– When using the baking tray, insert the
grill rack fi rst and place the tray on top.
– Close the door, set the temperature
control to the required level and use the
timer knob to select the desired cooking
time, or continuous operation.
– For baking or grilling from above, either
the upper or the upper and lower elements
may be selected.
– Th e switch settings may be changed
during the cooking process.
– Aft er the pre-programmed cooking time
has elapsed, the timer will automatically
switch off the heating elements.
– To interrupt the cooking process, or to
switch off the oven during continuous
operation, set the timer switch to 0.
– Always use the door handle to open the
glass door aft er use, when it is hot. When
removing the baking tray or grill rack,
use the handle provided. Likewise, when
removing the spit, the spit handle must be
used. Always place the baking tray and the
grill rack on a heat-resistant surface.
