SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Setting bake
Bake cooks with heat that rises from the oven bottom. The
heat and air circulate naturally in the oven. Follow baking
recommendations for best results.
The oven can be programmed to bake at any temperature
from 170°F to 550°F (77°C to 288°C).
Baking Tips
• Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,
cakes, biscuits, and breads.
• When using any single rack, use rack position 3.
• For best results when baking cakes using two oven
racks, place racks in positions 2 and 4.(
Figure 9).
• When baking using two oven racks, position cookware
to allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between
cookware for proper air circulation.
To set Bake:
1. Arrange oven racks while the oven is still cool.
2. Turn the oven temp. control knob to the desired oven
temperature (
Figure 8).
3. Preheat the oven for 10 to 12 minutes before baking.
Preheating is not necessary when roasting, cooking
casseroles or broiling most foods.
4. When finished cooking, turn the oven temp. control
knob to OFF position.
Figure 7: Pan spacing suggestions
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 over-
browning of some foods. Dark pans are recom-
mended for pies. Shiny pans are recommended
for cakes, cookies and muffins.
Always pull the oven rack out to the stop
position before turning or removing the food.
