8. USING THE PIZZA FUNCTION

This appliance is equipped with a function specially developed for cooking pizza with the special plate provided. This function is identified by the symbol on the oven functions knob. To cook a pizza, proceed as described below.

Set the oven functions knob on the

symbol and the thermostat knob

on the symbol.

Preheat with these settings until the thermostat light goes out, then place the pizza on the special plate using the pizza shovel provided. It does not normally take more than 3-4 minutes to cook a pizza to perfection,

although this time may vary depending on the dough used or individual taste.

8.1Precautions for using the pizza plate

Never use the pizza plate except as described above (for example, never use it on gas or ceramic hobs, or on ovens not designed to take this accessory).

For conventional cooking operations, it is advisable to remove the pizza plate and replace it with the bottom cover provided.

If you like oil on your pizza, it is best to add it after removal from the oven since oil stains on the pizza plate are unsightly and may reduce its efficiency.

Never use any oven function if the pizza plate or cover is not in position.

8.2To save energy

The pizza stone acts as a heat reservoir. This allows energy consumption to be reduced, especially in cooking operations requiring medium-long times. In these cases, simply switch the oven off 10-12 minutes before the end of the cooking time. The heat gradually emitted by the refractory stone will ensure that the cooking temperature is maintained.
