18 - Solving Baking Problems
With either Bake or Convection Bake, poor results can occur
for many reasons other than a malfunction of the oven. Check
the chart below for causes of the most common problems.
Since the size, shape and material of baking utensils directly
affect the baking results, the best solution may be to replace
old baking utensils that have darkened and warped with age
and use. Check the Baking Charts from Page 17 to 24 for the
correct rack position and baking time.
