5.3 Use of the pizza oven
The oven features:
• a lower heating element;
• a heating element on the roof of the oven;
• refractory stone (on the bottom) for cooking pizza and bread.
5.3.1 Risk of condensation
• Some cooking with high water content
combined with the use
of certain functions can cause the formation of
condensation
on the door's inner glass. To prevent this occurring,
open
the oven door for a few seconds once or twice while
cooking.
• Do not leave food to cool in the oven
after cooking to
prevent condensation forming on the door's inner glass,
which may drip out of the oven when the door is opened.
5.3.2 Switching on the oven for the first time
The first time it is used, the oven may smoke or give off an acrid smell caused by oily residue from
manufacturing that may give unpleasant odours or flavours to food. Before putting food in the
oven, heat the oven to the maximum temperature for 30-40 minutes with the door closed
and wait until the smoke or odour has stopped.
It is possible to switch on the heating of the oven by turning the knob to the required temperature
(from 100°C to MAX) or function.
5.3.3 Cooking with the variable grill
To activate the variable grill function, turn the “cooking functions” knob to the symbol ; then turn
the “variable grill” knob clockwise to increase the time the grill heating element is active: during
this phase, the “variable grill” orange light switches on and off to indicate when the heating
element is active.
Turning the “variable grill” knob all the way clockwise heats the grill for the maximum time. On
reaching maximum grill temperature, both orange lights below the “cooking functions” and
“variable grill” knobs switch off.
5.3.4 Traditional cooking
Turn the knob to the required temperature and place the food to be cooked at the required level; in
this way the food will be cooked from the top and bottom by the two heating elements.
To cook the food using only one element, move the functions selector to (top element) or
(bottom element).
The oven is equipped with an automatic cooling system regulated by the temperature of the
door. When the limit temperature is reached, the cooling fan automatically activates and then
deactivates when the temperature of the door goes below the preset limit. The cooling fan may stay
on after the oven has turned off.
In case that does not happen, switch off the appliance and contact the Technical Service
immediately.
