Setting Bake
Use the bake feature whenever the recipe calls for baking using
normal temperatures. A reminder tone will sound indicating
when the set bake temperature is reached and to place the food
in the oven.

(77°C) to 550°F (288°C).
To set Bake for oven temperature of 425°F:

Baking tips
• When baking using two oven racks, position bakeware as
shown
in
Figure 21
.
Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space
between bakeware for proper air circulation.
• 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.
• Glass cookware is a slow heat conductor. May require
reducing oven temperature.
• Minimize opening of the oven door. Opening the door will
reduce the temperature in the oven.
• For batter and dough-based baked goods such as cakes,
pastries, and breads, use the regular bake function for best
results.
• Fully preheat the oven before cooking items like cookies,
biscuits, and breads.
• When using any single rack, position the rack so that the
food is in the center of the oven.
• For best results when baking cakes or cookies using two
oven racks, place racks in positions 3 and 6 (See Figure 22)
and place pans as shown in Figure 21.
Important note:
The oven will bake no longer than 12 hours. If you wish to bake
for a longer period, see “Setting Cook Time” on page 22 for
detailed information.
