Baking and Roasting
The Bake/Roast Mode relies primarily on heat from the lower
bake element and radiant heat from the oven cavity to produce
the perfect conditions for cakes, cookies, quick breads, yeast
breads, meatloaf, and baked desserts. This mode is perfect for
foods that require both upper and lower browning.
Know Your Bake/Roast Mode
■
During baking or roasting,
the bake and broil elements
will cycle on and off in
intervals to maintain the
oven temperature.
■
If the oven door is opened
during baking or roasting,
the heating elements
(bake, both broils, and
convection fan) will turn off
approximately 30 seconds
after the door is opened.
They will turn on again
approximately 30 seconds
after the door is closed.
■
For baking, allow the range
to preheat before placing
food in the oven.
■
When roasting, it is not
necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before
putting food in, unless recommended in the recipe.
