18 Setting Oven Controls
Bake
Use the bake function to cook most food items with normal
cooking temperatures. The convection fan will rotate when
Bake first starts. This is normal. The fan will turn off when the
oven reaches the set temperature and the control will beep
once to indicate the oven is ready. While baking, the oven will
continue to cycle on and off.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when working with a hot
oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven racks and cooktop
will become hot enough to cause burns.
Do not cook foods directly on the oven bottom. To avoid
damaging the oven interior and surfaces, always cook foods in
the oven using cookware positioned on an oven rack.
For best results:
• Leave oven light off while baking.
• Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,
cakes, biscuits, or breads.
• When using a single rack for baking, most foods should be
placed on rack position 9.
• When baking cakes using 2 racks, place cookware on oven
rack positions 3 and 11 and position pans as shown in
(
Figure 17). Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) space between
the food items to ensure proper circulation.
• Dark or dull pans and glass absorb more heat than shiny
bakeware resulting in dark or over browning of foods. To
prevent this it may be necessary to reduce the oven tem-
perature or cook time to prevent over browning of some
foods. Dark pans are recommended for pies. Shiny pans
are recommended for cakes, cookies and muffins.
• Do not open the oven door too often. Opening the door will
reduce the temperature in the oven.
Rack position 13 is for reference only. Do not place any rack on
position 13 and attempt to cook!
IMPORTANT! The oven Bake light will blink and the oven will
not turn on if the temperature dial is set higher than 500ºF
(260ºC).
To set the oven for bake at 350ºF (177ºC):
1. Arrange the oven racks as desired before preheating.
2. Turn the function dial to bake. The Bake indicator light will
flash (
Figure 18).
3. Turn the temperature control knob to 350. The Bake
indicator light will remain on but stop flashing. The oven will
begin to preheat.
4. When the set temperature is reached the oven control will
chime.
5. Place the food in the oven and close the door.
6. When baking is completed or to cancel Bake at any time,
turn the temperature and the function selector control
knobs to OFF.
