racks
CAUTIOn
•
Replace the oven racks before turning the oven
on to prevent burns.
•
Do not cover the racks with aluminum foil, or
any other material, or place anything on the
bottom of the oven. Doing so will result in poor
baking performance and may damage the oven
bottom.
•
Only arrange oven racks when the oven is cool.

Bake
Bake is used to prepare foods such as pastries,
breads and casseroles. The oven can be programmed
to bake at any temperature from 170 °F (80 °C) to
550 °F (285 °C). The default temperature is 350 °F
(175 °C).
Setting the Bake Function (example, 375 °F)
1
Turn the oven mode knob to select
Bake
.
2
Set the oven temperature: for example, press
plus(+)
until 375 °F appears in the display.
3
Press
Start.
The oven starts to preheat.
As the oven preheats, the temperature is displayed
and rises in 5-degree increments. Once the oven
reaches the set temperature, a tone sounds and the
oven light blinks on and off.
4
When cooking is complete, turn the oven mode
knob to the
Off
position.

•
It is normal for the convection fan to operate
periodically throughout a normal bake cycle in
the oven. This is to ensure even baking results.
•
The convection fan may continue to run for a
short time after the oven is turned off.
Baking Tips
•
Baking time and temperature will vary depending
on the characteristics, size, and shape of the
baking pan used.
•
Check for food doneness at the minimum recipe
time.
•
Use metal bakeware (with or without a nonstick
finish), heatproof glass-ceramic, ceramic or other
bakeware recommended for oven use.
•
Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings will cook food
faster with more browning. Insulated bakeware will
slightly lengthen the cooking time for most foods.
nOTE
The oven bottom has a porcelain-enamel finish.
To make cleaning easier, protect the oven bottom
from excessive spillovers by placing a cookie
sheet on the rack below the rack you are cooking
on. This is particularly important when baking a
fruit pie or other foods with a high acid content.
Hot fruit fillings or other foods that are highly
acidic may cause pitting and damage to the
porcelain-enamel surface and should be wiped up
immediately.
