SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Setting Bake
Bake cooks with heat that rises from the oven bottom. The
heat and air circulate naturally in the oven. A reminder tone
will sound indicating when the set bake temperature is
reached and to place the food in the oven. The convection
fans will turn on in preheat and then cycle on and off as
needed during baking.
Bake may be set for any oven temperature between 170°F
(77°C) to 550°F (288°C).
Baking tips
• Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,
cakes, biscuits and breads.
• Use the convection bake function for best results when
baking cookies on multiple racks.
• Bake is the best function to use for baking cakes.
• For best results when baking layer cakes using two
oven racks, place racks in positions 3 and 5 and place
pans as shown in
Figure 19.
• When using any single rack for baking cookies, cakes,
biscuits, or muffins use rack position 3.
• 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, 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.
To set Bake for (default) oven temperature of 350°F:
1. Press Bake.
2. 350° will appear in the display.
3. Press OK/START.
To cancel Bake at any time, press OFF.
Important: The oven will bake no longer than 12 hours. If
you wish to bake for a longer period, see “Changing
between continuous bake setting or 12 hour energy saving”
on page 21 for detailed information.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the
oven. When cooking the oven interior, oven racks, and
cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.
