SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Setting Bake
Bake cooks with heat that rises from the oven bottom. The
heat and air circulate naturally in the oven. The oven
indicator light above the BAKE key will remain on until oven
is preheated. During baking the oven indicator light will turn
on and off as the oven cycles to maintain set temperature.
Follow baking recommendations for best results.
The oven can be programmed to bake at any temperature
from 170°F to 500°F (77°C to 260°C). The factory preset
automatic bake temperature is 350°F (177°C).
For best bake results:
• Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,
cakes, biscuits, and breads.
• Use rack position 3 when baking most items on a single
oven rack.
• When baking a layer cake using a single oven rack, use
rack position 4.
• When baking using two oven racks, position cookware
to allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between
cookware for proper air circulation.
• For best results when baking layer cakes using 2 oven
racks, place bakeware on rack positions 3 and 6
See
Figure 13.
• Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny
bakeware, resulting in dark or overbrowned foods. It
may be necessary to reduce oven temperature or cook
time to prevent overbrowning of some foods.
• Dark pans are recommended for pies; shiny pans are
recommended for cakes, cookies, and muffins
• Do not open oven door often. Opening the door will
reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase
cook time.
• Do not leave oven light on while baking.
