suffi cient distance.
Pierce the food to be cooked on the spit, –
making sure that the spit goes through the
middle. Th
is is to ensure that the food is
suffi ciently distant from the baking tray,
the oven interior and the heating elements.
Use the holding clamps to secure the food
in the centre of the spit.
Any parts sticking out (e.g. wings of a
–
chicken) should be held in with a tooth-
pick, a piece of string or other suitable
means. Th
is ensures that no part of the
food can protrude 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
assembly. Ensure that the indentations
in the handle assembly fi t into the
corresponding recesses in the spit.
Slide the spit end-piece with the drive
-
unit connection into the drive unit (see
picture II).
Place the idle end of the spit into its
-
holding bracket on the opposite side
(see picture I).
To remove the rotating spit, follow these
-
steps in reverse order.
Biscuit tray
Th
e biscuit tray is ideal for baking biscuits.
Ensure that the tray is placed onto the
grill rack with the rim facing upwards (see
picture).
Pizza stone
Always place the pizza stone on the –
middle of the grill rack before inserting the
rack into the appliance.
Preheat the appliance to the required
–
temperature as described in the section
Operation.
With certain pre-baked pizzas made
–
from especially light dough, the pre-
heating phase should be shortened; this
is to prevent the bottom layer of the pizza
dough from browning too fast.
Aft er pre-heating, open the door and use
–
a spatula to place the pizza on the centre
of the stone. Th
e pizza should be slightly
smaller than the stone so that there is a
clear space all round it.
Th
e pizza is ready once the cheese topping –
has melted and the bottom of the dough is
slightly brown. Use a spatula for removing
the pizza and serving it.
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 10 minutes with both
heating elements on. When the appliance
is switched on for the fi rst time, 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 refl ector sheet is fi tted in its proper
position underneath the lower heating
elements.
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 knob to select the
desired pre-heating time.
Place the food to be cooked on the baking
–
rack. When cooking food containing fat or
moisture, use the baking tray to stop any
dripping into the interior of the appliance.
When using the rotating spit, always
ensure that the baking tray is properly
inserted in the lowest guide rails.
If the biscuit tray or pizza stone is used,
–
it should be placed straight onto the grill
rack.
Close the door, set the temperature
–
control knob to the required level and
use the timer knob to select the desired
cooking time.
For overhead baking or grilling, either the
