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 30 cm
(12") 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 23 cm x 33 cm (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
aluminium 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 75°C (170°F), but can be changed as per the item being warmed.
Reheat
• Use to bring the food to serving temperature.
• The preset suggested temperature is 150°C (305°F), 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 26 – 37°C (80 – 100°F) degree
temperature and lower heating elements, this setting can be used to accelerate bread
proofing (rising).
