Timer
∙ The timer can be used for selecting a
cooking time (up to 60 minutes).
∙ To turn the appliance off, turn the timer
knob to position 0.
∙ To programme a time, turn the timer
knob clockwise to the desired value.
∙ To set a time of less than 10 minutes,
turn the timer to a somewhat higher
setting first and then slowly turn it back
to the desired time setting. After the
pre-programmed time has elapsed, an
acoustic signal indicates that the heating
elements are switched off.
Indicator lamp
The indicator lamp lights up when the
appliance is switched on. It goes out once
the pre-programmed time has elapsed, or if
the switch is turned back to position 0.
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 Cleaning and
care) and remove any packing materials
completely.
∙ B efore using the appliance for the first
time, let it heat up for 10 minutes with
both heating elements on. When the
appliance is switched on for the first
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.
