This function is suitable for grilling meat, fi sh, vegetables as well as rotisserie grilling of chicken, spit roast, etc .; Proceed as described under point „Grilling with rotisserie function „described. Important! Slide the roasting/baking tray into the lowest insertion level as a drip tray. Dripping grease is absorbed and the appliance remains clean. We also recommend fi lling half of the roasting/baking tray with water; the rising steam will make your barbecue food especially tender and juicy

Lower heat with circulating air (pizza function)

This function is particularly suitable for anything that should be crispy from the bottom, such as pizza, tarte fl ambé, French fries etc. We recommend using the function “upper and lower heat” (with or without circulating air) fi rst and switch to this function for the last 5 minutes. A switched-on fan distributes the heat evenly in the oven chamber.

Taking out the cooked food

• Open the oven door (do not use the open door as storage place!).
• Take the ready food out of the oven chamber. If you want to take the roasting/baking tray, the grill grid or the rotisserie spit out of the oven in hot condition, use the included handle or protect your hands with potholders or a grill glove. Close the oven door.

NOTE for using the grill grid: The special shape of the insertion levels in the front area prevents the grid from being pulled too far out of the appliance by mistake. Remove the grill grid as described above. Overcome the „removal lock“ by slightly lifting or angling and remove the grill grid.

Completely switching off the appliance

• For switching off the appliance turn both rotary knobs of the heating plates as well as the rotary knob for temperature and function of the oven to position „0“ or respectively „MIN“.
• For a safe switch off disconnect the power plug after each use

Temperature pilot lamp for oven
The appliance is equipped with a temperature pilot lamp (B) for the oven. When the pilot lamp goes off, the set temperature is reached. Cycling on and off during operation, the pilot lamp shows the thermostatic regulation of the temperature.

ATTENTION : This means that the pilot lamp does not glow for some time, although the oven is switched on. Therefore, make sure that all the knobs have been set back to “0” once the baking procedure is finished.

Grilling with rotisserie function
The rotisserie spit allows preparing delicious grilled chicken and other kinds of spit-roast (e. g. pork knuckles). For this, proceed as follows:

• It is important to defrost frozen chicken completely before grilling. Then wash and pat them dry.

• Depending on the recipe and your personal taste, rub the food to be grilled with oil and spices.
  Tip : Always mix paprika and curry with some oil or season the meat at the end of the grilling time, as these spices burn easily and taste bitter then.

• Slide one of the fixing brackets on the spit and tighten it with the screw. Now skewer the prepared meat onto the spit centrally until it is pushed firmly into the first fixing bracket. Then slide the second fixing bracket on the spit and push it firmly into the roast. Also, tighten this screw.

• Check that the food to be grilled is properly centred on the spit.

• To prevent protruding chicken parts from burning, the joints and wings must be bond together with a heatproof and food safe string (e. g. natural cotton string).
  Tip : To avoid a too fast browning of prominent parts, you may wrap delicate areas with unsalted rashers.

• Important! Insert the roasting/baking tray into the lowest level. In this way, any grease dripping down will be collected and the oven’s bottom stays clean.
  Tip : We recommend filling half of the roasting/baking tray with water; the rising steam makes your grill food especially tender. However, should you prefer your chicken crispy outside, do not fill any water into the roasting/baking tray.

• By means of the rotisserie handle, you can now lift the rotisserie assembly into the oven. Firstly, insert the spit with one end in the hole on the right hand side of the interior oven and then place it in the support provided on the left hand side.

• Before closing the oven door, make sure the spit with the chicken/s is positioned correctly.

Caution! Hazard of fire! Make sure that the meat to be grilled is rotating properly and that it does not touch the heating elements – otherwise the meat might catch fire.

• Select the function: ‘Upper heat with rotisserie spit’ (position “I”) at maximum temperature.

• Per each kilogram chicken, you may reckon with a grilling time of about 60 minutes.
  Tip : A spit-roast chicken is ready when piercing the drumstick with a needle (no knife!) only clear meat juice comes out, without any signs of blood

• In case the skin of the chicken is getting blisters, reduce the temperature and paint the blisters with some oil.

• After the grilling time has been finished, it is easy to remove the rotisserie spit from the oven by lifting it out using the special handle for the spit and to place it on a large chopping board then.

Interior illumination of the oven
