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. The convection fan will turn on when the oven is
preheating and turn off once the oven reaches the set tempera-
ture. The oven will cycle on and off and the display will show
the bake element indicator icon cycle as the oven maintains the
proper baking temperature.
Bake may be set for any oven temperature between 170°F
(77°C) to 550°F (288°C).
Baking tips
•
Fully preheat the oven before cooking items like cookies,
biscuits, and breads.
•
For layer cakes use bake function for best results.
•
For pastries and breads, use the convection bake function
for best results when using multiple racks.
•
For best results when using Bake for cakes on two oven
racks, place racks in positions 3 and 7 (Figure 16) and
place pans as shown in Figure 15.
•
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 oven door often. Opening the door will reduce
the temperature in the oven and extend baking time.
•
When using any single rack, use rack position 5 so that the
food is in the center of the oven.
To set Bake for oven temperature of 425°F
:
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using
the oven. When cooking the oven interior, oven racks, and
cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.
