WOLF TIPS FOR SUCCESS
• Always preheat for bake stone mode after positioning
the oven rack and ceramic stone. Allow approximately
35 minutes for this function to reach the set oven
temperature. For best results, preheat oven for one
hour before adding food.
• During preheat, convection fans and all elements are
used to quickly and uniformly heat the oven.
• Use only the Wolf bake stone in bake stone mode.
• Use only one bake stone rack per oven.
• Food is usually cooked directly on the stone. To
prevent sticking, apply plenty of cornmeal or flour to
the bottom of the food.
• When baking a series of breads or pizzas in a row,
allow 5 minutes between foods for the bake stone to
return to the proper temperature.
• Bake stone and rack should be removed after baking
and not left in oven during any of the other cooking
modes.
Bake Stone Mode
A specially designed rack and bake stone are used for
bake stone mode to assure the food quality expected from
this specific form of cooking. To produce a hot oven envi-
ronment necessary for baking on a ceramic stone, the
heat from all elements creates the perfect “brick oven”
effect. Both convection fans help circulate the air through-
out the oven cavity, so even temperatures are achieved.
The temperature probe may be used in this mode.
To prepare the oven, remove all oven racks. Slide the bake
stone rack onto rack guide position 1 and place the bake
stone on the rack with the lip hanging over front edge of
rack. Refer to the illustration below. Preheat the oven for
approximately 35 minutes when using bake stone mode.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Use care in handling the bake stone.
It will chip or break if dropped.
Refer to the Wolf cooking guide on pages 34–36. Use
cooking times as a guide for similar foods.
Avoid cooking foods with a high fat content on the
bake stone. The porous ceramic material will absorb
grease and discolor the stone. Flare-ups can occur.
