Asus UEFI/BIOS options - How to boot from DVD?

I have purchased a new Asus Zenbook Prime (UX31A) with Windows 8 preinstalled. To prepare a clean install without any bloatware I wanted to create an image of the whole SSD, because it seems there is no application to create some Recovery DVDs because there exists a complete recovery partition.

To create an image I have a connected an external CD drive to boot a Live CD, however there is no way to actually boot from it (maybe UEFI prevents this?).

What do you suggest - how should I boot from my CD to create an image?

With Karan's link to my question I was able to boot from CD. First in the Setup I have disabled Security > Secure Boot Control, I have disabled Boot > Fast Boot and enabled Boot > Launch CSM for legacy support. Now it boots from CD!
