ENGLISH COOKING FUNCTIONS Pizza • It is default with the Frozen function. Or push the Frozen button to add extra time for frozen pizzas, or deselect it when cooking fresh pizzas. • For frozen pizzas, follow time and temperature given on the food packaging. • For thin crust pizzas, directly place it on the oven rack for crispier crust. Remember that convection can speed up cooking time by up to 30%. Therefore, check pizza often in the final minutes for optimal results. Once you determine optimal time, reset your memory setting to the new desired time. • Thick crust, self-rising, or deep-dish pizzas will require longer cooking times. Use a 12" (30 cm) non stick pan for fresh or deep-dish pizzas to maintain shape and contained sauce. • Pizzas may need to be rotated to ensure even results. Cookies • Use for Cookie Dough. Cookies will cook faster and efficiently in Convection function. Bake • Use for baking cakes, breads, casseroles, pastries, and muffins. • Food may cook up to 30% faster when using Convection function. Check baked goods before the expected finish time to avoid overcooking. Broil • Use for Chops, fish, seafood, and browning. • For best results, use the 9" x 13" multipurpose pan and rack. It is designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke. • For proper draining, do not cover the rack with foil. Instead, the pan bottom lined with aluminum foil for easier cleaning. Roast • Use for Chicken, meat and vegetables. The oven distributes power to the top and bottom heating elements to maintain the desired oven temperature. Conv. Bake • Use for Cakes, breads, casseroles, muffins, proteins and others. • Convection function can be used with thin cuts of fish, to eliminate flipping. • Convection bake is similar to the bake function with all 5 heating elements working. In addition, dual convection fans operate to stir the air in order to distribute heat more evenly. Meat Probe • Use function for Steaks, Chicken & other proteins. Use to perfectly cook meats and other proteins to a set internal temperature. Keep Warm • Use to keep food warm before serving. • Preset temperature is 170°F (76°C), but can be changed as per the item being warmed. Reheat • Use to bring the food to serving temperature. • The preset suggested temperature is 300°F (148°C), but you may need to adjust this depending on the item being reheated to avoid overcook or dry out the food. Proof • Use for Dough. To speed up bread proofing. With a range of 80 - 100°F (26 - 39°C) degree temperature and lower heating elements, this setting can be used to accelerate bread proofing (rising). 7
