SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Setting Bake
Bake cooks with heat that rises from the oven
bottom. The heat and air circulate naturally in the
oven. The oven indicator light above the BAKE
key will remain on until oven is preheated. During
baking the oven indicator light will turn on and o
as the oven cycles to maintain set temperature.
Follow baking recommendations for best results.
The oven can be programmed to bake at any
temperature from 170°F to 550°F (77°C to 288°C).
The factory preset automatic bake temperature is
350°F (177°C).
Baking Tips
For best bake results:
• Fully preheat the oven before baking.
• When baking items like cookies, cakes, biscuits,
and breads using a single rack place rack in
position 4.
• When using any single rack for items like frozen
pies, angel food cake, breads, and casseroles,
use rack position 3.
• For best results when baking cakes using two
oven racks, place racks in positions 3 and 5
(Figure 14).
• When baking using two oven racks, position
cookware as shown in Figure 11.
• Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between
cookware for proper air circulation.

extend baking time.
