2. Belangrike veiligheidsinstruksies
Wanneer elektriese toestelle gebruik word, moet basiese veiligheidsmaatreëls altyd gevolg word om die risiko van brand, elektriese skok en beserings aan persone te verminder. Lees alle instruksies sorgvuldig deur.
- Moenie aan warm oppervlaktes raak nie. Gebruik handvatsels of knoppe.
- Om teen elektriese skok te beskerm, moenie die koord, proppe of die toestel in water of ander vloeistof dompel nie.
- Noukeurige toesig is nodig wanneer enige toestel deur of naby kinders gebruik word.
- Trek uit die stopcontact wanneer dit nie gebruik word nie en voor skoonmaak. Laat afkoel voor jy dele aan- of afhaal.
- Moenie enige toestel gebruik met 'n beskadigde koord of prop of nadat die toestel wanfunksioneer of op enige manier beskadig is nie.
- Die gebruik van bykomstighede wat nie deur die toestelvervaardiger aanbeveel word nie, kan gevare veroorsaak.
- Moenie buite gebruik nie.
- Moenie dat koord oor die rand van tafel of toonbank hang, of aan warm oppervlaktes raak nie.
- Moenie op of naby 'n warm gas- of elektriese brander, of in 'n verhitte oond plaas nie.
- Uiterste versigtigheid moet gebruik word wanneer 'n toestel wat warm olie of ander warm vloeistowwe bevat, verskuif word.
- Heg altyd eers die prop aan die toestel, en dan die koord in die muurprop. Om te ontkoppel, draai enige beheer na "af" en verwyder dan die prop uit die muurprop.
- Moenie die toestel vir ander as die bedoeling gebruik nie.
- Groot kosse of metaalgereedskap moet nie in 'n broodrooster geplaas word nie, aangesien dit 'n brand of die risiko van elektriese skok kan skep.
- A fire may occur if the oven is covered or touching flammable material, including curtains, drapes, walls, and the like, when in operation.
- Moenie enige van die volgende materiale in die oond plaas nie: papier, karton, plastiek of enigiets soortgelyks.
- Moenie enige materiaal, buiten die vervaardiger se aanbevole bykomstighede, in hierdie oond stoor wanneer dit nie gebruik word nie.
- Moenie die krummelbak of enige deel van die oond met metaalfoelie bedek nie. Dit sal oorverhitting van die oond veroorsaak.

- Preheat the oven with the pizza stone inside to the desired pizza temperature (usually 200-230°C) for at least 15-20 minutes.
- Carefully transfer the pizza onto the hot stone using a pizza peel or parchment paper.

Konveksie kook:
The convection feature uses a fan to circulate hot air, reducing cooking time and ensuring more uniform results.
- When using convection, you may need to reduce the cooking temperature by about 10-15°C and shorten cooking times compared to conventional baking.
- Refer to your recipe for specific convection adjustments.

6. Onderhoud en Skoonmaak
Gereelde skoonmaak en onderhoud sal jou oond in optimale toestand hou.
Voor skoonmaak:

Buitenste skoonmaak:

Binne skoonmaak:
- Remove the baking rack, baking tray, and crumb tray.
- Vee die binnemure af met adamp cloth and mild detergent. For stubborn stains, a non-abrasive oven cleaner designed for conventional ovens can be used, following the product instructions carefully.
