USING THE OVEN
BAKE
Setting the BAKE mode
1. Turn the Oven Mode knob to select the BAKE mode.
2. Set the oven temperature. For example, turn the
Time/Temp knob clockwise until 375°F appears in
the display.
3. Press START.
The word PREHEATING and 100°F appears in the
display. As the oven preheats the temperature is
displayed in 5-degree increments. Once the oven
reaches the desired temperature, a tone sounds.
PREHEATING
Place the food in the oven after preheating. Preheating is
necessary for better cooking results.
4. When cooking is nished, turn the Oven Mode knob
to the OFF position.
5. Remove the food from the oven.
Changing the Temperature while Baking
Baking Tips
Follow the recipe or convection food directions for
baking temperature, time, and rack position. Baking time
and temperature will vary depending on the ingredients,
size, and shape of the baking pan used.
y For best results, food should be placed on a single
rack with at least 1” to 1 1/2” of air space between the
pans and oven walls.
y Check for doneness at the minimum time.
y Use metal bakeware (with or without a nonstick
nish), heatproof glass-ceramic, ceramic or other
bakeware recommended for oven use.
y Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings will cook faster
with more browning. Insulated bakeware will slightly
lengthen the cooking time for most foods.
Use BAKE to prepare foods such as pastries, breads and
casseroles. The oven can be programmed to bake at
any temperature from 170°F (80°C) to 550°F (285°C). The
default temperature is 350°F (175°C).
CONVECTION BAKE
Benets of Convection Bake
y Some foods cook up to 25 to 30% faster, saving
time and energy.
y Even cooking results during multiple rack baking.
y No special pans or bakeware needed.
Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven’s heat
evenly and continuously within the oven. This improved
heat distribution allows for even cooking and excellent
results using multiple racks at the same time. Foods
cooked on a single oven rack will generally cook faster
and more evenly with Convection Bake. Multiple oven
rack cooking may slightly increase cook times for some
foods, but the overall result is time saved. Breads and
pastries brown more evenly.
The oven bottom has a porcelain-enamel nish.
To make cleaning easier, protect the oven bottom
from excessive spillovers by placing a cookie sheet
on the rack below the rack you are cooking on.
This is particularly important when baking a fruit
pie or other foods with a high acid content. Hot fruit
llings or other foods that are highly acidic may
cause pitting and damage to the porcelain-enamel
surface and should be wiped up immediately.
NOTE
It is normal for the convection fan to operate
periodically throughout a normal bake cycle. This is
to ensure even baking results.
NOTE
1. Turn the Time/Temp knob to reset the oven
temperature.
For example, turn the knob clockwise to reset the
temperature from 375°F to 425°F.
2. Press START.
Tips for Convection Baking
y Time saved will vary depending on the amount and
type of food to be cooked. Cookies and biscuits
should be baked on pans with no sides or very low
sides to allow heated air to circulate around the food.
Food baked on pans with a dark nish will cook faster.
y When using Convection Bake with a single rack, place
the oven rack in position C. If cooking on multiple
racks, place the oven racks in positions B and D.
y Cookies, muns, biscuits and other quickbreads give
very good results when using multiple racks.
