SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Setting Bake

Use the Bake function whenever a recipe calls for baking

using normal temperatures. Bake may be set for any

temperature between 170°F and 550°F.

During Bake, convection fan will pulse on and off, and the

bake element will cycle on and off to maintain the set

temperature for precise baking.

Important: For batter and dough-based baked goods such

as cakes, pastries, and breads, use the convection function

for best results.

For best Bake results:

• Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,

cakes, biscuits, and breads.

• For single rack baking, position rack so food is in the

center of the oven.

• Leave oven light off while baking.

• For best results when baking cookies using two oven

racks, place the glide rack in position 5 and the flat rack

in position 3.

• For best results when baking cakes using two oven

racks, place Glide rack in position 4 with flat rack in

position 1. (See

Figure 9).

• Position cookware as shown in Figure 10. Allow at least

2-4 inches (5-10 cm) of space between cookware for

proper air circulation when using multiple racks.

• 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.

• Dark bakeware is recommended for pies. Shiny

bakeware is recommended for cakes, cookies, and

muffins.

• Do not open oven door too often. Doing so reduces

oven temperature and may extend cooking time.

To set a bake for 350°F:

1. Arrange oven racks.

2. Turn the oven mode selector to Bake.

3. Turn the oven temperature selector to 350°F.

4. When the oven reaches 350° the PREHEAT light will

turn off and a reminder chime will alert you to place food

in oven.

5. When finished baking, be sure to return both the

temperature selector knob and the oven mode knob to

the OFF positions.
