The Preheating Function in the Pizza Modes of the Oven

The pizza modes in the oven are designed to cater to both beginners and experienced users, with the preheating function being an integral part of the process. The preheating is automatic and does not require manual settings. However, it is important to note that some pizza modes come with a preheating stage, while others do not. The preheating principles in the Newcomer and Expert modes are quite similar. Below is a detailed introduction to the preheating function in the Newcomer modes of the oven.

• Wood Fired Pizza Mode

The Wood Fired Pizza mode is designed for cooking traditional wood-fired pizzas. This mode requires an initial preheating period of 15 minutes. During preheating, the oven uses both the top and bottom heating elements to reach the desired temperature. Once the preheating countdown is complete, the display will show "FILLin OPEN" flashing alternately, and the buzzer will sound five times. At this point, users should open the door, place the pizza inside, and close the door again. The oven will then automatically start the cooking countdown.

The temperature during preheating is not manually adjustable and is set to a specific range to ensure the pizza is cooked evenly. This mode also includes a smart feature for consecutive uses. If the oven is used again shortly after the first use and the core temperature is above 482°F/250°C, it will skip the preheating step and go directly to the "FILLin" stage. If the core temperature is between 302-482°F/150-250°C, a 5-minute preheat is required, and if it is below 302°F/150°C, a full 15-minute preheat is necessary.

• New York Pizza Mode

The New York Pizza mode also requires preheating for optimal results. Similar to the Wood Fired Pizza mode, the initial preheat time is 15 minutes. The oven uses both heating elements during this stage. After the preheat countdown, the display will show "FILLin OPEN" flashing alternately, and the buzzer will sound five times. Users should then place the pizza inside and close the door to start the cooking process.

The temperature during preheating is not manually adjustable and is set to ensure the pizza is cooked to perfection. The New York Pizza mode also includes the same smart feature for consecutive uses as the Wood Fired Pizza mode. If the core temperature is above 482°F/250°C, it will skip preheating and go directly to the "FILLin" stage. If the core temperature is between 302-482°F/150-250°C, a 5-minute preheat is required, and if it is below 302°F/150°C, a full 15-minute preheat is necessary.

• Frozen Pizza Mode and Deep Dish Pizza Mode

Interestingly, the Frozen Pizza mode and the Deep Dish Pizza mode do not require preheating. These modes are designed for convenience, allowing users to place the pizza directly into the oven without waiting for the preheat cycle. The oven will automatically adjust the cooking time and temperature to ensure the pizza is cooked thoroughly.

For the Frozen Pizza mode, the temperature range is set between 250-500°F, and the default cooking time is 18 minutes at 500°F. The Deep Dish Pizza mode also has a temperature range of 250-500°F, with a default cooking time of 25 minutes at 450°F. Both modes use both the top and bottom heating elements to ensure even cooking.

• Conclusion

The preheating function in the oven's pizza modes is a crucial feature that helps users achieve perfectly cooked pizzas. The preheating is automatic and does not require manual settings. The Wood Fired Pizza and New York Pizza modes require an initial preheat of 15 minutes, with smart features to adjust preheating times based on the oven's core temperature for consecutive uses. The Frozen Pizza and Deep Dish Pizza modes, on the other hand, do not require preheating, offering a convenient option for users. By understanding these preheating features, users can make the most of their oven and enjoy delicious pizzas tailored to their preferences.
