clamps to secure the food in the centre of
the spit.
∙ To fasten two smaller pieces of food, the
bracket with the four prongs may be fi tted
to 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. This 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 spit is safely
supported in the recesses in the handle.
∙ 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.
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.
∙ After pre-heating, open the door and use
a spatula to place the pizza on the centre
of the stone. The pizza should be slightly
smaller than the stone so that there is a
clear space all round it.
∙ The 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. This
is normal and will only last for a very
short time. For that reason, adequate
ventilation should be ensured by opening
windows or balcony doors.
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 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.
If the 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.
