COOKING MODES Cookie In Cookie mode, the Even-Heat™ system distributes power to the top and bottom heating elements to maintain the desired oven temperature. The top center element will be off. When using Convection in Cookie mode, EasyConvect™ Conversion automatically reduces oven temperature by 25°F (14°C) to prevent overcooking. Convection tips for Cookie mode • Cookies will cook faster and more efficiently in Convection Mode because their surface area is relatively small. • Keep heat loss to a minimum by opening the oven door only when necessary. • Cookies may finish cooking up to 30% faster when using Convection Mode. Check cookies before the expected finish time to avoid overcooking. NOTE: For temperature and time settings and options in Cookie mode, see the "Cooking modes" chart. Pizza In Pizza mode, the Even-Heat™ system distributes power to the top and bottom heating elements to maintain the desired oven temperature. The top center element is off until the end of this mode. The last stage of this mode will finish off the cheese by browning with high heat. Frozen Mode Pizza setting will default to frozen mode. You may use the Frozen button to provide extra time for frozen pizzas to cook, or deselect it when cooking freshly prepared pizzas. Pizza mode tips • For frozen pizzas, it is recommended to follow time and temperature directions included on the food packaging. • Thin crust pizzas will cook faster and more efficiently in Convection Mode because their surface area is relatively small. Place thin crust pizzas directly on the oven rack for crispier crust. Please keep in mind that convection can speed up cooking time by up to 30%. You should check pizza often in the final minutes to ensure optimal results with this feature. Once you determine optimal time, reset your memory setting to the new desired time. Cooking stage Browning stage • Thick crust, self-rising, or deep-dish pizzas will require longer cooking times. Use the 12" (30 cm) nonstick pan for fresh or deep-dish pizzas to maintain shape and keep sauce contained. • Pizzas may need to be rotated during cooking to ensure even results. NOTE: For temperature and time settings and options in Pizza mode, see the "Cooking modes" chart. 12
