4/ USING THE OVEN EN
•THE PIZZA FUNCTION
2 ways to use it:
• Without preheating, the Pizza function cooks and browns most fresh or frozen dough-bases dishes, while giving
them the crispness associated with a traditional oven.
• With preheating - the Pizza plate may be preheated while empty, using the Pizza key for a maximum of 2 minutes.
This can be used to seal and cook small pieces of meat or to reheat and brown fresh or frozen prepared dough-
based dishes.
• Remove food from its original packaging (metal, plastic) before cooking or reheating it using the Pizza
function.
• It is preferable to programme a minimum time and then add to it, if necessary.
• All food with an envelope or skin, such as potatoes or sausages, must be pricked before cooking.
• Once completely defrosted, wipe pieces of meat before sealing them using the Pizza function.
• As with traditional cooking, keep an eye on the colour of the food.
• Protect your hands when you remove the dish because it may be very hot.
• Stuffed foods or parcels should not be eaten too soon e.g. sausage rolls), since they may be lukewarm on the
outside but very hot in the centre.
• The Pizza function is not suitable for cooking or reheating eggs.
• If you wish to cook a succession of dishes, using the Pizza function, for the best browning results we
recommend that you allow a cooling period of approximately 10 minutes between each operation.
Tips
With the Pizza function, you save time and energy, while retaining the pleasure of traditional recipes (taste, colour and
texture).
• The Pizza function, with its special plate, allows the simultaneous operation of the grill and microwave.
• The Pizza plate, with its special coating, absorbs microwaves from underneath.
• It spreads the heat under the food to cook or re-heat it and so give the desired colour and crispness, while the
grill browns the top.
