If preparing fresh pizza, make sure pizza is ready to bake on a pizza peel
or on an inverted sheet tray that is well dusted with cornmeal so that the
dough will easily slide onto preheated stone in oven when ready.
Once oven indicates it is ready, put the pizza directly on the pizza stone to
bake in the oven. The timer will begin counting down. It will beep again
when cooking time has expired.
The oven will shut off and the display will go from blue to white.
Pizza Tips
For fresh pizza, dust either a pizza peel or the surface of an inverted sheet tray
with cornmeal to help slide the pizza directly on to the preheated pizza stone.
Dusting with the cornmeal ensures the dough will not stick to the peel or tray.
Pizza is most easily removed from the oven with a pizza peel. If a pizza
peel is not available, carefully remove pizza from the oven with tongs or
a large spatula. Place pizza on a large cutting surface to cut and serve.
All pizza times correspond with size and are suggestions – they can
be adjusted according to personal preference. If using frozen pizza,
use package instructions as a guideline, as times can vary based on
pizza thickness.
The pizza stone can be used for other baked goods where a crisp bottom
is desired. Bake bread or rolls directly on the preheated stone – it is also
recommended for pastry like pies and tarts.
When baking fresh pizza, it is important to preheat the pizza stone.
So if you opt to combine Speed Convection with the pizza function,
it is recommended that you preheat the stone before putting the pizza
in the oven.

CONVECTION
Convection uses a fan to circulate heated air around food as it cooks.
Convection cooking cooks food faster and more evenly. Most recipes
recommend reducing temperatures by 25ºF or reducing cooking time using
convection.
You may select convection with any cooking function: Bake, Broil, Roast,
Pizza, Sandwich, Keep Warm or Leftover. First select the function and set
the oven temperature and time. Then press the Conv button to activate the
convection fan. The oven will display the convection icon. You may turn on
convection at any time as you are setting the function – during preheating or
during cooking. You may turn off convection at any time by pressing the
Conv button again. If Speed Convection is already turned on, you may
change from Speed Convection to regular Convection by simply pressing the
Conv button. If you do this before the oven is at the set temperature in the
Bake or Pizza function, the display will switch from Ready to Preheating and
the timer will stop counting down. When the oven finishes preheating and
reaches the set temperature, the timer will count down.
SPEED CONVECTION
Speed Convection is a special feature developed to cook your food even
faster. It is recommended especially for frozen entrees and roasting
vegetables and meats. Like regular Convection, Speed Convection uses a fan
to circulate heated air around food as it cooks. Speed Convection circulates
air at a faster rate than regular Convection.
Speed Convection may be selected with most cooking functions: Bake,
Broil, Roast, Pizza, Sandwich, Keep Warm or Leftover.
Speed Convection does not require any preheating before cooking foods –
rather the timer will begin to count down as soon as you press Start/Stop.
Speed Convection can be selected or turned off at any time as you are
11
setting the function – during preheating (to eliminate the preheat) or
during cooking.
When baking fresh pizza, it is important to preheat the pizza stone, so if you
opt to combine Speed Convection with the Pizza function, it is recommended
that you preheat the stone before putting the pizza in the oven to bake.
When using Speed Convection, reduce cooking temperatures by 25ºF.
When using Convection shorten cooking times.
First select the function and set the oven temperature and time. Add food to
be cooked directly in the oven and then press the Speed Conv button to
activate the convection fan. The oven will display the Speed Convection
icon. Press Start/Stop to begin cooking.
If regular convection is already turned on, you may change from regular
convection to Speed Convection by simply pressing the Speed Conv button.
If you do this while the oven is preheating in the Bake or Pizza function, the
display will immediately switch from Preheating to Ready and the timer will
start counting down.
DUAL COOK
Dual Cook is a special feature that enables you to combine any two cooking
function or two temperatures and run them consecutively. With Dual Cook
you program separate times and temperatures for each of the two different
functions or program two different temperatures and times within the same
function. This is ideal for those recipes that require multiple cooking steps.
The functions that you may program using Dual Cook are Bake, Broil, Roast,
Pizza, Sandwich and Keep Warm.
Dual Cook is the also the ideal setting for dishes like casseroles that benefit
from top-browning or for tougher cuts of meats. Some examples of how you
might use Dual Cook include Bake and then Broil (to top brown your food for a
minute or two), Bake at a high temperature for a period of time and then at a
lower temperature to achieve fork-tender meats with crisp exteriors, or any
baking function plus Keep Warm to ensure that casseroles are at serving
temperature after they are baked. Here are a few examples:
To program this feature press the Dual Cook button. The oven will display
the functions you may select for the first cooking cycle. Turn and press the
dial to select the first function: Bake, Broil, Roast, Pizza, Sandwich or Keep
Warm. Select the temperature and time for this function. When you press the
dial, the oven will again display only those functions that you can select for
the second function. For example, when you select Bake for the first
function, Bake, Broil and Keep Warm will be the options for the second
function. Turn and press the dial to select the second function. Then select
the temperature and time for this function. Put the food in the oven (if your
first function is Bake, wait until the oven preheats and the display changes
from Preheating to Ready). Press Start/Stop to start heating the oven.
The display will turn blue and it will run through the first cooking function for
your set time. When the first cycle is finished, the oven will beep and
automatically switch to the second cooking function for your set time. When
the time reaches zero for the second function, the oven will beep, the display
will turn white, and the heating elements will turn off. You may stop cooking
and turn off the heating elements at any time by pressing the Start/Stop
button.
When the oven is running in the first function, you may check your settings
for the second function by pushing the Dual Cook button. The display will
show the second function settings for a few seconds and then revert to
display the first function.
To change functions, time or temperature mid-cycle
