SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Setting Bake
Use the Bake function whenever a recipe calls for baking
using normal temperatures. When the set bake temperature
is reached the control will sound a chime to alert that the
oven is fully preheated. During Bake, the convection fan
may pulse on and off to help maintain optimum baking
temperatures.
Important: For batter and dough-based baked goods such
as cakes, pastries, and breads, use the convection function
for best results.
Baking tips
For best bake results:
• Leave the oven light off while baking.
• Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,
cakes, biscuits, and breads.
• When using any single rack, position the rack so that
the food is in the center of the oven.
• When using two oven racks, position cookware as
shown in
Figure 5. Allow at least 2-4 inches (5-10 cm)
of space between cookware for proper air circulation.
• For best results when baking cakes using two oven
racks, place Glide rack in position 4 with the flat rack in
position 1. (See
Figure 6).
• For cookies on multiple racks place sheets on rack
position 3 using the flat rack, and 5 with the glide rack.
• Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny
bakeware. It may be necessary to reduce oven temper
-
ature and cook time to prevent overbrowning of some
foods. Dark bakeware is recommended for pies. Shiny
bakeware is recommended for cakes, cookies, and
muffins.
• Do not open the oven door often. Doing may increase
the cooking time necessary for best results.
• Many factors can affect baking results. See “Solutions
to Common Problems” on page 32 of this owner’s
manual.
To set a bake for 350°F:

2. Turn the oven mode selector to the Bake position.
3. Turn the oven temperature selector to 350°F.
4. The PREHEAT and the oven temperature light will turn
on and sound an acceptance tone. The oven will begin
heating.
5. When the set temperature is reached the PREHEAT
light will turn off and a reminder chime will sound
alerting you to place food in oven.
6. Set either timer to keep track of actual cooking time if
necessary.
7. When finished baking, be sure to return both the
temperature selector knob and the oven mode knob to
the OFF positions.
