USING THE OVEN
22
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 (77°C) to 550°F (288°C). The
default temperature is 350°F (177°C).
Setting the BAKE Function (example, 375°F):
1. Press BAKE.
2. Set the oven temperature using the number buttons:
press 3, 7 and 5.
3. Press START. The oven will start 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 will sound and the oven light will flash
on and off.
4. When cooking is complete, press STOP.
5. Remove food from the oven.
It is normal for the convection fan to operate
periodically throughout a normal bake cycle in the
lower oven. This is to ensure even baking results.
NOTE
Baking Tips
• Baking time and temperature will vary depending on the
ingredients, size, and shape of the baking pan used.
• Check for food doneness at the minimum recipe time.
• Use metal bakeware (with or without a nonstick finish),
heatproof glass-ceramic, ceramic or other bakeware
recommended for oven use.
• Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings will cook food faster
with more browning. Insulated bakeware will slightly
lengthen the cooking time for most foods.
The oven bottom has a porcelain-enamel finish. 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. (Line the
cookie sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.)
This is particularly important when baking a fruit pie or
other foods with a high acid content. Hot fruit fillings
or other foods that are highly acidic may cause pitting
and damage to the porcelain-enamel surface and
should be wiped up immediately.
NOTE
CONVECTION BAKE
The convection system uses a fan to circulate the heat evenly
within the oven. Improved heat distribution allows for even
cooking and excellent results while cooking with single or
multiple racks.
Setting the CONVECTION BAKE Function (example,
375°F):
1. Press CONV. BAKE. The display will flash 350°F.
2. Set the oven temperature using the number buttons:
press 3, 7 and 5.
3. Press START. The display will show CONV. BAKE and
the oven temperature starting at 100°F.
As the oven preheats, the display will show increasing
temperatures in 5-degree increments. Once the oven reaches
the set adjusted temperature, a tone will sound and the oven
light will flash on and off. The display will show the auto
converted oven temperature 350°F, CONV. BAKE and the
fan icon.
4. When cooking has finished or to cancel, press STOP.
The oven fan will run while convection baking. The fan
will stop when the door is open, but the heat will not
turn off. In some cases, the fan may shut off during a
convection bake cycle.
NOTE
Tips for Convection Baking
• 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 finish
will cook faster.
• When using Convection Bake with a single rack, place
oven rack in position C. If cooking on multiple racks, place
the oven racks in positions B and D (for 2 racks).
• Multiple oven rack cooking may slightly increase cook
times for some foods.
• Cakes, cookies and muffins will have better results when
using multiple racks.
