Function-Specific Instructions

Fresh Pizza / Frozen Pizza

• Place the pizza on the provided aluminum cooking tray.
• Select the Fresh Pizza or Frozen Pizza function. The oven uses a preset time and temperature optimized for a 12-inch pizza.
• No preheat is required*. The oven will begin cooking immediately.
• For best results, check pizza doneness near the end of the cycle. Cheese should be melted and bubbly, and the crust golden brown.

Toast

• Place bread slices directly on the chrome wire rack.
• Select the Toast function. The darkness level is typically preset.
• Monitor toasting through the glass door, as toast darkness can vary based on bread type and thickness.

Bake

• This function requires a preheat cycle*.
• Select Bake and set the desired temperature (up to 500°F) using the controls.
• Once the oven signals it has preheated, place your food inside and set the cooking time.

Broil

• This function requires a preheat cycle*.
• Select Broil. The top heating element will activate at high heat.
• Place food on the cooking tray. Monitor closely, as broiling cooks food quickly.

Reheat

• Place leftovers on the cooking tray or an oven-safe dish.
• Select the Reheat function. This uses a moderate, preset temperature to warm food without overcooking.

* The Bake and Broil functions use a fast preheating cycle compared to a traditional oven.
