OPERATION
Bake
Bake is used 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).
Setting the Bake Function (example, 375 °F)
1
Turn the oven mode knob to select Bake.
2
Set the oven temperature: for example, press
plus(+) until 375 °F appears in the display.
3
Press Start. The oven starts to preheat.
As the oven preheats, the temperature is displayed
and rises in 5-degree increments. Once the oven
reaches the set temperature, a tone sounds and the
oven light blinks on and off.
4
When cooking is complete, turn the oven mode
knob to the Off position.
5
Remove food from the oven.
NOTE
•
It is normal for the convection fan to operate
periodically throughout a normal bake cycle in
the oven. This is to ensure even baking results.
•
The convection fan may continue to run for a
short time after the oven is turned off.
Baking Tips
•
Baking time and temperature vary depending on
the characteristics, size, and shape of the baking
pan used.
•
Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings cook food
faster with more browning. Insulated bakeware
lengthens the cooking time for most foods.
•
Check food for doneness at the minimum recipe
time.
•
To make cleanup easier, protect the oven bottom
from spillovers by placing a cookie sheet on the
rack below baking fruit pies or other foods with a
high acid content.
•
Wipe up hot fruit fillings and other highly acidic
foods as soon as possible to avoid pitting and
damage to the porcelain-enamel surface.

NOTE
•
Because the oven temperature cycles, an oven
thermometer placed in the oven cavity may not
show the same temperature that is set on the
oven.
•
It is normal for the convection fan to run while
preheating during a regular bake cycle.
•
The convection fan motor may run periodically
during a regular bake cycle.
•
The bake burner turns off if the door is left
open during baking. If the door is left open for
longer than 30 seconds during baking, the bake
burner turns off. The bake burner turns back on
automatically once the door is closed.
