OVEN CONTROLS
Setting Bake
Use the bake feature whenever the recipe calls for baking
using normal temperatures. A reminder tone will sound indi
-
cating when the set bake temperature is reached and to
place the food in the oven. When the oven is preheating,
the convection fan will be on and will turn off once the set
temperature is reached. The oven will cycle on and off while
baking to maintain the set temperature and the bake
element icon in the display will reflect the cycling of the
bake element.
Bake may be set for any oven temperature between 170°F (77°C)
to 550°F (288°C).
Baking tips
• For pastries and breads, use the convection bake
function for best results when using multiple racks
(
“Convection Bake” on page 21).
• For layer cakes use the normal bake function.
• For best results when baking cakes or cookies using
two oven racks, place racks in positions 3 and 7
(
Figure 22) and place pans 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 recommended for pies. Shiny pans are recom
-
mended for cakes, cookies, and muffins.
• Glass cookware is a slow heat conductor. May require
reducing oven temperature.
• Fully preheat the oven before cooking items like
cookies, biscuits, and breads.
• When using any single rack, use rack position 5 so that
the food is in the center of the oven.
• Do not open oven door often. Opening the door will
reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase
cooking time.
To set Bake for oven temperature of 425°F:
1. Press bake.
2. Enter 4 2 5 using numeric keypad.
3. Press start.
4. To cancel bake at any time, press off.
Important note:
The oven will bake no longer than 6 hours. If you wish to
bake for a longer period, see
“Changing between contin-
uous bake setting or 6 hour energy saving” on page 18 for
detailed information.

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the
oven. When cooking the oven interior, oven racks, and
cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.
