OVEN CONTROLS
Setting Bake
Bake cooks with heat that rises from the oven bottom. The
heat and air circulate naturally in the oven. 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
• Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,
cakes, biscuits, and breads.
• When using any single rack, use rack position 3.
• For best results when baking cakes using two oven
racks, place racks in positions 2 and 4.
• When baking using two oven racks, position cookware
to allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between
cookware for proper air circulation and position pans as
shown in
Figure 8.
