SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Setting Bake
The oven can be programmed to bake at any temperature
from 170°F to 550°F (77°C to 287°C). The factory preset
automatic bake temperature is 350°F (177°C).
The oven indicator light will turn on when first set to bake
while the oven is heating. When the set temperature is
reached the oven control will beep once indicating the oven
if fully preheated and time to place food in the oven. The
indicator light will cycle on and off as the oven maintains the
set temperature.
For best bake results:
• Fully preheat the oven before baking.
• When baking items like cookies, cakes, biscuits, and
breads using a single rack place rack in position 4.
• When using any single rack for items like frozen pies,
angel food cake, breads, and casseroles, use rack
position 4.
• For best results when baking cakes using two oven
racks, place racks in positions 3 and 5 (See
Figure 9).
• When baking cakes using two oven racks, position
cookware as shown in
Figure 9. Allow at least 2 inches
(5 cm) of space between cookware for proper air circu-
lation.
• Leave oven light off while baking.
• 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.
