Setting Oven Controls
Setting Bake
Use the bake feature whenever the recipe calls for baking using
normal temperatures. Bake may be set for any oven tempera-
ture between 170°F to 550°F (77°C to 288°C).
For best results:
• Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,
biscuits, and breads.
• Leave oven light off while baking.
• Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny bakeware,
resulting in dark or overbrowning of foods. It may be
necessary to reduce the oven temperature or cook time to
prevent overbrowning of some foods. Dark pans are recom-
mended for pies. Shiny pans are recommended for cakes,
cookies and muffins.
• Do not open oven door often. Opening the door will reduce
the temperature in the oven and may increase cook time.
• Use single rack baking for best results and position the rack
in position 2. (Figure 4).
• When baking cakes using two racks, position cake pans as
shown in Figure 4. Allow at least 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 cm)
space between bakeware for proper air circulation.
• When baking using two oven racks, place the oven racks on
positions 2 and 4 (Figure 3). Be sure the pans do not touch
each other, the door, sides, or the back of the oven.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when
using the oven. The oven interior and exterior, oven racks and
cooktop become very hot and can cause burns.
What to expect when setting Bake:
During preheat the oven temperature will appear in the display
along with the bake icon. The oven indicator (green box in the
display) will turn on during preheat and remain on throughout
the baking cycle. This is normal and indicates that the oven is
maintaining the selected baking temperature. A reminder tone
will sound indicating when the set bake temperature is reached
and to place the food in the oven.
