OVEN ACCESSORIES OVEN RACKS AND OVEN RACK GUIDES Your oven comes equipped with two standard racks, one extension rack and two five-position rack guides. Follow your recipe guidelines to determine the best rack location for your dish. TIP: For best results, center baking pans on the rack to allow maximum air circulation around the food. WARNING Always use an oven rack. Never place any food, pot, pan or tray directly on the oven floor. You may place cooking vessels directly on the baking stone.
Roast Probe Cleaning When cool, wipe the probe clean with a mild soapy water solution. Rinse and dry thoroughly. ATTENTION Do not put meat probe in the dishwasher. BAKING STONE The integrated baking stone lets you create perfectly bakes breads and pizzas. In StoneBake™ mode, the baking stone temperature probe makes sure that the stone maintains the desired temperature. ATTENTION The stone should be pre-dried before first use. If not pre-dried, the stone could be damaged.
OPERATING THE OVEN BEFORE YOU BEGIN Clean removable oven parts Remove and properly discard all temporary labels and packaging material including cardboard, zip ties, paper and wrapping from the oven, broiler pan, oven racks, oven rack glides and exterior surfaces. Remove protective plastic wrap from any stainless steel surfaces. BEFORE turning on your oven for the first time, remove and wash the oven racks and rack glides in hot, soapy water. Rinse well and dry thoroughly.
PRE-DRY THE BAKING STONE Your baking stone must by pre-dried before using it to prevent warping and maximize its life. If the stone is not properly dried before its first use, it could warp, crack or shatter with explosive force. Follow the pre-drying instructions and document the start time for each step to keep track of your activity. ATTENTION The entire pre-drying process will take six hours and must be followed exactly as directed.
TIPS Sprinkle a light dusting of baking flour on the stone to help season it before baking the first time. The flour allows air to flow between the stone and the item to be baked. Never use any type of oil on the stone. It is recommended to cook doughs on the rough surface. The stone can be used with either the rough or the smooth surface, depending on your preference. Do not allow any liquid to come in contact with the stone.

TIPS TEMPERATURE RANGE In Bake mode, the oven can operate at temperatures between 150 and 500 degrees F. Entering a temperature outside of this range will result in an error message. CONVECTION COOKING Convection cooking uses a fan inside the oven to circulate the heated air more evenly, resulting in better heat distribution and a more consistent temperature.

BAKING PIZZA AT HOME Why cook pizza at high temperatures? It's a little bit like popcorn. Popcorn needs extreme heat for the moisture inside the kernel to convert to steam, expanding rapidly and exploding the outer hull. If you cooked popcorn at a low temp, it would dry out and never pop. With pizza, you don't have a hull containing this pressure, but the pressure of the expanding gases is still vital to the volume achieved in the baked product.
