Setting Bake
Use the bake feature whenever the recipe calls for baking using
normal temperatures. A reminder tone will sound indicating
when the set bake temperature is reached and to place the food
in the oven. During the baking process the oven will cycle on
and off to maintain the set temperature. Do not open the oven
door too often. Opening the door will reduce the oven tempera-
ture and may increase cook time.
Bake may be set for any oven temperature between 170°F
(77°C) to 550°F (288°C).
Setting Convec Bake
Benefits of the convection bake feature:
• Foods may cook up to 25°/0 faster, saving time and energy.
• Multiple rack baking.
• The convection function uses a fan to circulate the oven's
heat uniformly and continuously around the oven
(Figure 17). This improved heat distribution allows for fast,
even cooking and browning results.
To set Bake for oven temperature of 425°F (218°C):
1. Press Bake.
2. Enter 4 2 5 (2 1 8) using numeric keys.
3. Press

Regular bake rack positions:
• Fully preheat the oven before baking 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.
• For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks,
place racks in positions 2 and 4 (Figure 16).
• When baking using 2 oven racks, position bakeware as
shown in Figure 16. 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 recom-
mended for pies. Shiny pans are recommended for cakes,
cookies and muffins.
• For batter and dough-based baked goods such as cakes,
pastries, and breads, use the regular bake function for best
results.

Because most food items will cook faster and more evenly with
the convection feature, it is advisable to reduce recipe's recom-
mended temperature by 25 °.
For best results, follow the recipe's instructions using the
minimum recommended cook time.
Convec Bake may be set for any oven temperature between
300°F (148°C) to 550°F (288°C).
The convection fan will begin rotating six minutes after Convec
Bake, Convec Roast or Convec Convert has been activated.
To set Convec Bake with a default oven set temperature of
350°F (176°C):
1. Press Convec Bake.
2. Press START
To cancel Convec Bake at any time press STOP.
