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.
Bake may be set for any oven temperature between 170°F to
550°F (77°C to 288°C).
To set Bake for oven temperature of 425°F (218°C):
1.
Press Bake.

For best results:
•
Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,
biscuits and breads.
•
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 oven door often. Opening the door will reduce
the temperature in the oven and may increase cook time.
Radiant rack positions:
•
When using any single rack, position the rack so that the
food is in the center of the oven.
•
If using the Glide rack, set one position lower than the flat
or handle racks.
•
For best results when baking cakes using two oven racks,
place racks in positions 2 and 4. When baking using two
oven racks, position bakeware as shown
in
.
Allow
at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware for
proper air circulation.
•
Cakes and cookies will have best results when using the
Convection function.
Setting Convection Bake
The convection function 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. It also gives better baking results when using
two oven racks at the same time.
Because most food items will cook faster and more evenly with
the convection feature, it is advisable to reduce the recipe’s
recommended temperature by 25° for best results. Follow the
recipe’s instructions using the minimum recommended cook time.
Convection Bake may be set for any oven temperature between
170°F to 550°F (77°C to 288°C).
Benefits of the convection bake feature:
•
Foods may cook up to 25% faster, saving time and energy.
•
Multiple rack baking.
For Best Results:
•
Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,
biscuits and breads.
•
For batter and dough-based baked goods such as cakes,
pastries, and breads, use the convection bake function or
refer to
for best results.
•
Cookies and biscuits should be baked on pans with no sides
or very low side to allow heated air to circulate around the
food.
•
Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny bakeware
resulting in dark or over browning of foods. It may be
necessary to reduce the oven temperature or cook time to
prevent over browning of some foods. Dark pans are
recommended for pies. Shiny pans are recommended for
cakes, cookies and muffins
