Setting Bake

normal temperatures. A reminder tone will sound indicating
when the set bake temperature is reached and to place the food
in the oven.

Baking tips
• Fully preheat the oven before cooking 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 or cookies using two
oven racks, place racks in positions 3 and 5 (See Figure 25)
and position bakeware as shown
in
Figure 24
.
Allow at least
2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware for proper air
circulation.
• Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny
bakeware. It may be necessary to reduce oven temperature
and cook time to prevent overbrowning of some foods. Dark
bakeware is recommended for pies. Shiny bakeware is
recommended for cakes, cookies, and muffins.
• Glass cookware is a slow heat conductor. May require
reducing oven temperature.
• Minimize opening of the oven door. Opening the door will
reduce the temperature in the oven.
• For batter and dough-based baked goods such as cakes,
pastries, and breads, use the regular bake function for best
results.
Important note:
The oven will bake no longer than 12 hours. If you wish to bake
for a longer period, see “Setting Cook Time” on page 20 for
detailed information.
