8. USING THE PIZZA FUNCTION
(ON SOME MODELS ONLY)
This appliance is equipped with a function specially developed for cooking
pizza. This function is identified by the symbol on the oven functions
knob. To cook a pizza, proceed as described below.
With the oven cold, remove the circular cover from the bottom of the
oven (fig. 1) and fit the pizza plate in its place (Fig. 2).
1) 2)
Press PT2 to switch the oven on, then use PT2 again to select the
function. The display will show the recommended temperature for cooking
pizza (280°C), (for the 2300W low energy consumption mode the
recommended cooking temperature is 260°C). The recommended
temperature can still be varied using PT1.
Preheat with these settings until the symbol (on DSP3) remains
constantly on, then place the pizza on the special plate. It does not
normally take more than 3-4 minutes to cook a pizza to perfection,
although this time may vary depending on the dough used or individual
taste.
8.1 Precautions for using the pizza plate
• Never use the pizza plate except as described above (for example,
never use it on gas or ceramic hobs, or on ovens not designed to take
this accessory).
• The pizza plate may be left in place while conventional cooking
operations are in progress. Simply place the cover over it, taking care
to fit it securely.
• Never use any oven function if the pizza plate or cover is not in
position.
• The appliance becomes very hot during use. Oven gloves should
always be worn.
• If you like oil on your pizza, it is best to add it after removal from the
oven since oil stains on the pizza plate are unsightly and may reduce
its efficiency.
