12  Time-setting options

Your appliance features time-setting options that you
can use to set the cooking time and the timer.

12.1 Timer

The timer can be used as a kitchen timer.
The timer runs alongside other settings. The timer can
be set at any time, even if the appliance is switched off.

Setting the timer

The timer can be set up to 120 minutes regardless of
whether the appliance is on or off. The timer has its
own audible signal so that you can tell whether it is the
timer or a cooking time which has elapsed.

1.

Turn the timer clockwise as far as it goes without
turning it beyond this point.

2.

Then turn it back to the required time.

3.

Once the timer duration has elapsed

An audible signal sounds. Turn the timer back to
the "Off" position.

13  Rotary spit

The rotary spit is particularly good for cooking large
roasts, such as rolled roasting joints or poultry. The
meat becomes crispy and brown.

13.1 Preparing joints

To ensure that the roast is well-browned and cooked
evenly, observe the following points:

1.

Place the joint as close as possible to the centre of
the rotary spit.

2.

Use the clamps to secure the joint at both ends.
The rear clamp must be a minimum of 7 cm from
the end of the spit.

3.

You can also truss the joint with string.
With poultry, bind the ends of the wings underneath
the back and the thighs against the body. This
means they do not become too dark.
To ensure that the fat can escape, pierce holes into
the skin below the wings.
