Chapter 2 - Using the control and setting the modes

2.2 - PIZZA FUNCTION

This oven is programmed with a special pizza function from De'Longhi. The program is designed specifically for cooking pizza dough, to result in the crispy pizza you love. Pizza can be cooked using the De' Longhi pizza tray provided, or the pizza can be cooked directly on the wire oven rack. (For the popular thick-style "rising crust" we especially recommend placing pizza on the wire rack.)

Important Note: Always position pizza in the lowest guide (see page 6). Using the pizza program, remember that it is NOT necessary to preheat the oven.

1 Press the PIZZA button and select the desired program (see the table below).

The display will show the message “P1”, “P2” o “P3”.

2 Press the START button (17). As you press START, time selected is reduced of 1 minute. The oven will start the countdown. At the end of the set time the control will emit 4 beeps (and the display will return to stand-by, showing the time of the day if previously set).

 

 

3 If, during the cooking, you think

 

 

to need a longer duration for

AND

 

your pizza, press the TIMER

 

 

 

button (9) and then add the

 

 

desired time (for a maximum of

 

 

5 minutes more) by repeadly

 

 

pressing the "+" button (18).

If the START button (17) is not pressed within 3 minutes from the previous setting, the control will return to stand-by.

The cooking process can be stopped in any moment by pressing the STOP/CANCEL button (11).

NOTES/TIPS TO COOK THE PIZZA

If the oven is already hot (e.g. in case of sequential pizza cooking), the electronic controll will automati- cally reduce/adjust the cooking time.

Always put the pizza on the PIZZA TRAY (L) provided; then insert the tray in slot 3.

Frozen pizza: remove the pizza from its packaging and put the pizza directly on the PIZZA TRAY (L).

Home - made pizza with fresh dough: prepare the pizza on the well greased PIZZA TRAY (L) or line the tray with oven-proof paper. We suggest to add mozzarella or soft cheese just five minutes before the end of cooking: the cheese will melt perfectly without overburning.

In order to select the right program, refer to the following table;

Cooking rersult may vary adjust these settings to your individual preferences.

COOKING TWO PIZZAS AT ONCE

Note: The Special pizza program is intended only for cooking one pizza at a time, following the instruction above. Cook-

ing two pizzas at once: The special pizza setting cannot be used for cooking two pizzas. However, you can get very good results with two pizzas following these directions:

Using the two wire oven racks, place one pizza in the lowest position and a second pizza in the middle position (see page 6). Use Fan/Bake setting (not special pizza setting ) and PREHEAT to 375 degrees. Cook for 15 minutes an then switch the racks to opposite positions for an additional 10-15 minutes of additional cooking time.
