S
etting Bake
Use the Bake function whenever a recipe calls for baking using
normal temperatures. For batter and dough-based baked goods
such as cakes, pastries, and breads, use the convection function
for best results.
B
aking tips
For best bake results:
• Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,
cakes, biscuits, and breads. When using any single rack,
position the rack so that the food is in the center of the
oven.
•
Leave oven light off while baking.
• Convection baking is preferred for multiple rack baking.
•
For best results when baking cakes using two oven racks,
place Glide rack in position 4 with the flat handle rack in
position 1. (See Figure 12).
• When using two oven racks, position cookware as shown in
Figure 13 with pans on top rack near front and lower rack
pans in the middle of the rack. Allow at least 2-4 inches (5-
10 cm) of space between cookware for proper air circula-
tion.
•
Cookies should be baked on a pan with low or no sides for
best results. When using two racks for baking cookies, place
the Glide rack in position 5 and flat rack in position 3.
• Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny
bakeware. It may be necessary to reduce oven temperature
and cook time to prevent overbrowning of some foods. Dark
bakeware is recommended for pies. Shiny bakeware is
recommended for cakes, cookies, and muffins.
Bake may be set for any temperature between 200°F (93°C)
and 550°F (288°C).
T
o set a bake for 350°F:
1. Be sure to arrange racks to the desired positions for the
item(s) to be baked.
2. Turn the oven mode selector to the Bake position.
3
. Turn the oven temperature selector to 350°F.
4. The PREHEAT message and the oven temperature light will
turn on and the control will sound an acceptance tone. The
oven will begin heating.
5
. When the set temperature is reached the PREHEAT message
will turn off and a reminder chime will sound alerting you to
place food in oven. Set either timer to keep track of actual
cooking time if necessary.
6. When finished baking, be sure to return both the tempera-
ture selector knob and the oven mode knob to the OFF posi-
tions.
I
mportant: Do not open the oven door often. Doing so will
reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase the
cooking time necessary for best results.
