Setting Preheat
For best baking performance, when baking more delicate goods
such as cakes, pastries, and breads, use the normal bake
function to preheat the oven.
A reminder tone will sound indicating when the set temperature
is reached and to place the food in the oven.
When the oven is finished preheating the oven will maintain the
set temperature until cancelled.
Preheat may be set for any oven temperature between 170°F
(77°C) and 550°F (288°C).
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using
the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven exterior, oven
racks and oven will become very hot which can cause burns.
To set Preheat with default oven temperature of 350°F:
1. Press PreHeat.
2. Press (Figure 10).
To cancel preheating at anytime press .
To set Preheat with a temperature of 450°F:
1. Press PreHeat.
2. Press 4 5 0 using numeric keypad.
3. Press .

Important note:
• When setting Bake or any cooking feature that preheats the
oven (except Broil), the convection fan will turn on and stay
on until the oven reaches set temperature.
• Preheating is not necessary when roasting or cooking casse-
roles.
• The oven is factory set to run no longer than 12 hours. If you
wish to cook continuously, see “Changing Between Continuous
Bake Setting or 12 Hour Energy Saving” on page 10 for more
detailed information.
• Do not open the oven door often. Opening the door will reduce
the temperature and may increase cook time.
Setting Bake
Use the bake feature whenever the recipe calls for baking using
normal temperatures. A reminder tone will sound indicating
when the set bake temperature is reached and to place the food
in the oven. The convection fan will run while the oven preheats,
but not during baking.
Bake may be set for any oven temperature between 170°F
(77°C) to 550°F (288°C).
To set Bake for oven temperature of 425°F:
1. Press Bake.
2. Enter 4 2 5 using numeric keypad.

To cancel Bake at any time press .
Radiant bake rack positions
• Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,
biscuits and breads.
• When using any single rack, position the rack so that the
food is in the center of the oven.
• For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks,
place racks in positions 2 and 4 (Figure 11).
• When baking using 2 oven racks, position bakeware as
shown
in Figure 11 . Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space
between bakeware for proper air circulation.
• Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny bakeware,
resulting in dark or overbrowning of foods. It may be
necessary to reduce the oven temperature or cook time to
prevent overbrowning of some foods. Dark pans are recom-
mended for pies. Shiny pans are recommended for cakes,
cookies and muffins.
•
Do not open the oven door often. Opening the door will reduce
the temperature and may increase cook time.
