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. When setting Bake or any cooking feature that
preheats the oven the convection fan will turn on and stay on
until the oven reaches set temperature.
Bake may be set for any oven temperature between 170°F
(77°C) and 550°F (288°C).
Radiant Bake Rack Positions
•
Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,
biscuits, and breads. Convection baking is recommended
for multiple racks of cookies and cakes.
•
Leave oven light off while baking.
•
When using any single rack, position the rack so that the
food is in the center of the oven. Place food toward the
front of the rack for optimal baking results.
•
For best results when baking using two oven racks, place
racks in positions 1 (flat) and 4 glide/5 flat (See
).
•
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.
•
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.
•
Shiny pans are recommended for cakes, cookies, and
muffins.
•
Do not open the oven door often. Opening the door will
reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase cook
time.

the oven.When cooking, the oven interior and oven racks will
become very hot which can cause burns.
