setting the function
during preheating (to eliminate the preheat) or
during cooking.
When baking fresh pizza, it is important to preheat the pizza stone, so if you
opt to combine Speed Convection with the Pizza function, it is recommended
that you preheat the stone before putting the pizza in the oven to bake.
When using Speed Convection, reduce cooking temperatures by 25ºF.
When using Convection shorten cooking times.
First select the function and set the oven temperature and time. Add food to
be cooked directly in the oven and then press the Speed Conv button to
activate the convection fan. The oven will display the Speed Convection
icon. Press Start/Stop to begin cooking.
If regular convection is already turned on, you may change from regular
convection to Speed Convection by simply pressing the Speed Conv button.
If you do this while the oven is preheating in the Bake or Pizza function, the
display will immediately switch from Preheating to Ready and the timer will
start counting down.
DUAL COOK
Dual Cook is a special feature that enables you to combine any two cooking
function or two temperatures and run them consecutively. With Dual Cook
you program separate times and temperatures for each of the two different
functions or program two different temperatures and times within the same
function. This is ideal for those recipes that require multiple cooking steps.
The functions that you may program using Dual Cook are Bake, Broil, Roast,
Pizza, Sandwich and Keep Warm.
Dual Cook is the also the ideal setting for dishes like casseroles that benefit
from top-browning or for tougher cuts of meats. Some examples of how you
might use Dual Cook include Bake and then Broil (to top brown your food for a
minute or two), Bake at a high temperature for a period of time and then at a
lower temperature to achieve fork-tender meats with crisp exteriors, or any
baking function plus Keep Warm to ensure that casseroles are at serving
temperature after they are baked. Here are a few examples:
FOOD First function/temp/time Second function/temp/
time
Slow cooked ribs Bake/375°F/45 minutes Bake/250°F/1 hour 30
minutes
Casserole Bake/375°F/50 minutes Keep Warm/150°F/3 to
30 minutes
Roasting meats Roast/400°F/30 minutes Roast/300°F/30 minutes
Nachos Bake/350°F/5 minutes Broil/500°F/5 minutes
To program this feature press the Dual Cook button. The oven will display
the functions you may select for the first cooking cycle. Turn and press the
dial to select the first function: Bake, Broil, Roast, Pizza, Sandwich or Keep
Warm. Select the temperature and time for this function. When you press the
dial, the oven will again display only those functions that you can select for
the second function. For example, when you select Bake for the first
function, Bake, Broil and Keep Warm will be the options for the second
function. Turn and press the dial to select the second function. Then select
the temperature and time for this function. Put the food in the oven (if your
first function is Bake, wait until the oven preheats and the display changes
from Preheating to Ready). Press Start/Stop to start heating the oven.
The display will turn blue and it will run through the first cooking function for
your set time. When the first cycle is finished, the oven will beep and
automatically switch to the second cooking function for your set time. When
the time reaches zero for the second function, the oven will beep, the display
will turn white, and the heating elements will turn off. You may stop cooking
and turn off the heating elements at any time by pressing the Start/Stop
button.
When the oven is running in the first function, you may check your settings
for the second function by pushing the Dual Cook button. The display will
show the second function settings for a few seconds and then revert to
display the first function.
