How to use Pizza mode
Note
Follow these recommendations:
¡ There might be a slight decrease in baking time. Check
before minimum package time.
¡ When baking a frozen pizza: For a crispy crust, place
directly on the rack. For a softer crust, use a pizza pan.
¡ If par baking handmade pizza dough, prick the dough
with a fork before baking.
¡ If using a pizza pan, choose a dark, perforated pan for a
more crisp crust and a non-perforated pan for a softer
crust.
¡ Preheat baking stones following manufacturer’s
recommendations while the oven is preheating.
¡ Bake homemade pizzas on rack position 2 in the center
of the rack.
¡ Follow manufacturer’s directions for frozen pizza.
¡ The convection fan cycles on and off when using pizza
mode.
How to use Roast mode
Use Roast mode for large cuts of meat and poultry.
Note
¡ Preheating the oven is not necessary.
¡ Use a high-sided broil pan or roasting pan. Cover dish
with a lid or foil for less tender cuts of meat.
¡ For less tender cuts of meat, add liquids, such as water,
juice, wine, bouillon or stock for flavor and moisture.
¡ Roasting bags and using a liquid are suitable for use in
this mode.
¡ When roasting whole chicken or turkey, tuck wings
behind back and loosely tie legs with kitchen string.
¡ When cooking large meats (e.g. turkey over 10lbs) do
not use the lowest rack position.
How to use Conv Roast mode
Use the Conv Roast mode for preparing tender cuts of
meat and poultry. It is also suitable for roasting
vegetables.
The benefits of Conv Roast mode include as much as
25% faster cooking than non-convection modes and rich,
golden browning.
Note
¡ Preheating the oven is not necessary.
¡ Use the same temperature as indicated in the recipe.
¡ Check doneness early, since roasting time may
decrease.
¡ Do not cover meat or use cooking bags.
¡ Use a broil pan with a rack and grid or a shallow,
uncovered pan with a rack for roasting.
¡ Use a meat thermometer to determine the internal
temperature of the meat.
¡ If the meat is browned to your liking, but is not yet done,
foil can be placed over the meat to prevent
overbrowning.
¡ Let meat stand covered with foil 10-15 minutes after
removing it from the oven.
¡ When cooking large meats (e.g. turkey over 10lbs) do
not use the lowest rack position.
How to use Conv Broil mode
Use the Conv Broil mode for cooking thick, tender cuts of
meat, poultry and fish. This mode is not recommended for
browning breads, casseroles and other foods.
In addition to the benefits of standard broiling, convection
broiling is faster.
Note
¡ Always use convection broil with the oven door closed.
¡ Preheat the oven for 3 to 4minutes. Do not preheat for
more than 5minutes.
¡ Steaks and chops should be at least 1½" (4cm) thick.
¡ Use the broil pan and grid or a deep pan with a metal
rack, for broiling.
¡ Do not cover the broil grid with foil. It is designed to
drain fats and oils away from the cooking surface to
prevent smoking and spattering.
¡ Turn meats once during the recommended cook time.
Fish does not need to be turned.
¡ Never use heat-proof glass, such as Pyrex®; it cannot
tolerate the high temperature.
How to use Proof mode
Use the Proof mode to raise yeast dough.
Note
¡ Start with a cool oven when using this mode.
¡ Allow frozen dough to thaw first.
¡ The ideal temperature for proofing will be maintained
until the mode is turned off. Dough has proofed when it
has doubled in size.
¡ Loosely cover the bowl or pan and use any rack that
accommodates the size of the container.
¡ Keep the door closed and use the oven light to check
the rising of the dough.
Size Time in min.
Loaf, 1lb (4.5kg) 60-75
Rolls, 0.1lb (50g) 30-45
How to use Warm mode
Use the Warm mode to keep hot, cooked foods at serving
temperature.
CAUTION
Food may spoil when kept warm for too long.
▶ Do not use the warm mode to heat cold food.
▶ Be sure to maintain proper food temperature. The
USDA recommends holding hot food at 140°F (60°C)
or warmer.
▶ DO NOT warm food longer than one hour.
Note
¡ ALWAYS start with hot food. DO NOT use this mode to
heat cold food other than for crisping crackers, chips,
and dry cereal.
¡ Serving dishes, plates, and cups may be kept warm
with this mode.
