Setting Bake
Baking uses heat that rises from the bottom of the oven. Heat
and air circulate naturally in the oven. The oven indicator light
above the BAKE key will remain on until the oven is preheated.
During baking, the oven indicator light will turn on and off as
the oven cycles to maintain the set temperature. Follow cooking
recommendations for best results.
Bake may be programmed for any temperature from 170°F to
500°F (77°C to 260°C). The factory preset bake temperature is
350°F (177°C).
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using
the oven. When cooking the oven interior, oven racks and cook-
top will become very hot which can cause burns.
Baking tips
• 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 on rack position 4.
• For best results when baking cakes or cookies using two
oven racks, place racks in positions 3 and 5 (See Figure 13).
• When baking using two oven racks, position cookware to
allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between cookware
for proper air circulation.
• 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.
• Do not open the oven door often. Opening the door will
reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase the
cooking time.
• Do not leave oven light on while baking.
