E Series Oven Operation | 21 |
Bake Stone Mode
A specially designed rack and bake stone are used for bake stone mode to assure the food quality expected from this specific form of cooking. To produce a hot oven envi- ronment necessary for baking on a ceramic stone, the heat from all elements creates the perfect “brick oven” effect. Both convection fans help circulate the air through- out the oven cavity, so even temperatures are achieved. The temperature probe may be used in this mode.
To prepare the oven, remove all oven racks. Slide the bake stone rack onto rack guide position 1 and place the bake stone on the rack with the lip hanging over front edge of rack. Refer to the illustration below. Preheat the oven for approximately 35 minutes when using bake stone mode.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Use care in handling the bake stone. It will chip or break if dropped.

WOLF TIPS FOR SUCCESS
•Always preheat for bake stone mode after positioning the oven rack and ceramic stone. Allow approximately 35 minutes for this function to reach the set oven temperature. For best results, preheat oven for one hour before adding food.
•During preheat, convection fans and all elements are used to quickly and uniformly heat the oven.
•Use only the Wolf bake stone in bake stone mode.
•Use only one bake stone rack per oven.
•Food is usually cooked directly on the stone. To prevent sticking, apply plenty of cornmeal or flour to the bottom of the food.
•When baking a series of breads or pizzas in a row, allow 5 minutes between foods for the bake stone to return to the proper temperature.
•Bake stone and rack should be removed after baking and not left in oven during any of the other cooking modes.
Avoid cooking foods with a high fat content on the bake stone. The porous ceramic material will absorb grease and discolor the stone.
