What should I know about induction cooking and cookware?
Advantages: Saves time (boiling/frying), saves energy, easier cleaning (spills don’t burn quickly), better heat control.
Suitable Cookware: Only ferromagnetic cookware works. Examples: Enameled steel, Cast iron, Special induction-suitable stainless steel. The ferromagnetic area of the base should match the cooking zone size for best results. If cookware isn’t detected, try a smaller zone.
Unsuitable Cookware: Thin-walled normal steel, Glass, Clay, Copper, Aluminum. Never use heat diffuser plates.
Cookware Base Composition: Material affects results. Stainless steel sandwich bases distribute heat evenly, saving time/energy. Flat bases are preferred; uneven bases impair heat supply.
Cookware Detection: If no cookware, unsuitable cookware, or wrong size is detected, 0 lights up. Place suitable cookware within 30 seconds, or the zone switches off. Each zone has a minimum detection limit based on ferromagnetic diameter and material.
Empty/Thin Base Cookware: Do not heat empty cookware or use thin-based cookware. The safety system might not react quickly enough to prevent overheating, potentially melting the base or damaging the glass. If this happens, don’t touch the cookware; switch off the zone. Contact Customer Service if it doesn’t work after cooling.

Is it safe to use aluminum foil in the oven?
WARNING
Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line any part of the appliance, especially the oven bottom. Installing these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.What are the recommendations for preheating the oven?
■ Place oven racks in the required position before heating the oven.
■ Always preheat the oven.
■ Allow the oven to preheat while preparing recipe ingredients or food items.
■ Increasing the oven temperature will require a longer preheat time.
■ The heating-up indicator displays the rising temperature in the oven cavity.
■ When the oven has preheated a beep indicator will sound for 2 seconds.
■ Once the oven is preheated, place the food in the oven as quickly as possible to minimize the loss of heat and reduction of oven temperature.
What kind of baking pans and dishes should I use?
■ Glass baking dishes absorb heat. Some cookware manufacturers recommend reducing the temperature by 25 °F (14 °C) when using this type of dish. Follow the manufacturers’ recommendations.
■ Cookie sheets should have at least 1″ clearance on all sides.
■ Use pans that provide the desired level of browning. For tender, light, golden brown crusts, use light, anodized or shiny metal bakeware.
■ Dark, rough or dull pans (nonstick or anodized) will absorb heat and result in a browner, crisper crust. Some manufacturers recommend reducing the temperature by 25 °F (14 °C) when using this type of pan. Follow the manufacturers’ recommendations.
■ Insulated cookie sheets or bakeware may increase the length of cooking time.
■ Do not place broil pans or any other heavy objects down on the open oven door.
■ Do not store empty pans or pizza stones in the oven during cooking as this changes the cooking performance. Store pans outside of the oven.

Is condensation normal during cooking?
What is Bake mode and how should I use it?
Tip
■ Preheat the oven if the recipe recommends it.
■ Baking time will vary with the size, shape and finish of the bakeware. Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings will cook faster with darker results. Insulated bakeware will lengthen the cooking time for most foods.
■ For best results, bake food on a single rack with at least 1-1 1/2″ space between pans or dishes and oven walls.
■ Eliminate heat loss from the oven by using the window to periodically check food for doneness instead of opening the door.
What is Convection Bake mode and its benefits?
The benefits of Convection Bake include:
■ Slight decrease in cooking time.
■ Higher volume (yeast items rise higher).
Tip
■ Place food in shallow, uncovered pans, such as cookie sheets without sides.
■ If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1-1 1/2″ of air space around the pan.
■ For cakes, use rack positions 2 and 5. Stagger pans so that one is not directly above the other.
What is Multi-Rack mode and its benefits?
The benefits of Convection Multi-Rack include:
■ Even browning.
■ Time savings as a result of using multiple racks at one time.
Tip
■ Place food in low-sided, uncovered pans such as cookie sheets without sides.
■ If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1″ to 1 1/2″ of air space around the pan. Stagger pans so that one is not directly above the other.
What is Proof mode and how should I use it?
■ No preheating is necessary.
■ Proofing is the rising of yeast dough.
■ In Proof mode, the temperature is 85 °F (30 °C) to 125 °F (50 °C).
■ Loosely cover the bowl or pan and use any rack that accommodates the size of the container.
■ Keep the door closed and use the oven light to check the rising of the dough.
What is Pizza mode and what are some tips for using it?
Tip
■ When baking a frozen pizza: For a crispy crust, place directly on the rack. For a softer crust, use a pizza pan.

■ Sprinkle cornmeal on the pizza pan to prevent sticking.
■ If using a pizza paddle, sprinkle the paddle liberally with cornmeal for ease in transferring the dough to the pan.
■ If par baking handmade pizza dough, prick the dough with a fork before baking.
■ If using a pizza pan, choose a dark, perforated pan for a more crisp crust and a non-perforated pan for a softer crust.
■ Preheat baking stones following manufacturer’s recommendations while the oven is preheating.
■ Bake homemade pizzas on rack position 2 in the center of the rack.
■ Follow manufacturer’s directions for frozen pizza.
What is Convection Roast mode and its benefits?
