Setting Oven Control
Speed Bake™ Cooking System - (If equipped)
Speed Bake™ Cooking System 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 racks at the same time.
Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors.
Meats cooked with Speed Bake™ Cooking System are juicer. Poultry is crisp
on the outside while staying tender and moist on the inside. Breads and pastry
brown more evenly. Most foods baked in a standard oven can be cooked faster
and more evenly with Speed Bake™ Cooking System.
General Cooking Instructions:
1. To convert baking times for normal recipes to Speed Bake times, start with
a 30% reduction in time and increase the time until the desired doneness
is obtained. Time reductions will vary depending on the amount and type
of food.
2. Preheating is not necessary when cooking with Speed Bake, except with
items such as cakes, cookies, biscuits, breads, etc.
3. When using two racks at
the same time, place in
positions 2 and 5 for the
best results.
4. When baking cakes with
S p e e d B a k e , s e t
temperature 25F° (13°C)
degrees lower than the
recommended setting for
best results.
To Set Speed Bake™ Cooking System:
1. Program the oven as you normally would for baking. Speed Bake may be
used with Bake, Time Bake and Delayed Time Bake modes.
2. Push and release Speed Bake switch. The indicator light will glow and the
fan will come on. The fan stays on when the oven door is closed and shuts
off while the oven door is opened. The fan will continue to operate until
baking is complete.
3. To cancel Speed baking function, push CANCEL on the oven control as you
would to cancel any baking function.
NOTE: The Speed Bake mode will not work during a clean cycle.
