SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Setting Quick Bake (some models)
Quick Bake uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat uniformly
and continuously around the oven. This improved heat
distribution allows for fast, even cooking and browning
results. Meats cooked with Quick Bake are crisp on the
outside while staying tender and moist on the inside.
Breads and pastry brown more evenly. Most foods can be
cooked faster and more evenly with Quick Bake.
The oven may be programmed to Quick Bake at any
temp
era
ture from 170°F to 550°F (77°C to 288°C). The
factory preset Quick Bake temperature is 350°F (177°C).
Benefits of the Quick Bake feature
F
oods may cook up to 25 to 30% faster, saving time and
en
ergy.
