Setting the Controls for Pizza
1.Make sure the convection oven is properly plugged in and ready for operation. (See Electrical Requirements on page 4 for further instructions.)
2.Place the oven rack in the middle position. The middle rack position has a safety hook to prevent the rack from falling out when it is removed. To remove the rack, tilt upward and pull forward. The reverse process is needed to reinstall the rack.
3.When powered on, default settings for the convection oven are displayed. The oven is set to Bake for 10 minutes at 350˚F with the convection function activated.
4.Press the Mode button to select the Pizza setting.
5.If desired, activate or deactivate the Defrost or Convection options by pressing the corresponding buttons. They illuminate when activated. (Learn more about Defrost and Convection modes as described above under Options.)
6.The default setting for pizza is set to Bake for 20 minutes at 400˚F. Defrost is the default setting.
7.Turn the Time/Slices knob to select the desired cooking time. Turn right to increase the time and left to decrease the time. The time may be set in one minute increments up to a maximum of two hours.
8.Turn the Temp/Shade knob to select the desired oven temperature. Turn right to increase the temperature and left to decrease it. The temperature may be set in 5 degree increments from a minimum of 150˚F to a maximum of 450˚F.
9.Press the Start/Cancel button. The oven begins preheating. Preheating will flash on the display until the selected oven temperature is reached.
10.Once preheated, the oven will chime, the desired temperature will illuminate on the display, and the timer will begin counting down.
11.Insert the pizza into the oven on a pizza pan, baking sheet or directly on the oven rack.
