SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Quick bake (some models)
Quick bake 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 provides better baking performance 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 quick bake 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 quick bake.
When roasting
• Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods using
quick bake.
• Reduce the cook time by 25% from the recommended
cook time of your recipe. Check the food at this time. If
necessary, increase cook time until the desired
doneness is obtained.
Setting quick bake
The oven may be programmed for quick bake at any
temperature from 170°F to 550°F (77°C to 287°C). The
factory preset automatic bake temperature is 350°F
(177°C).
To set quick bake:
1. Press quick bake. "— — —" appears in the display.
2. Within 5 seconds, press the or . The display
will show "350°F (177°C)." By pressing and holding
the or , the temperature can then be adjusted
in 5°F increments (1°C if the control is set to display
Celsius).
3. As soon as the or keypad is released, the oven
will begin heating to the selected temperature. When
the displayed temperature reaches the desired baking
temperature, the preheat indicator light will turn OFF
and the control will beep 3 times.
4. To cancel quick bake, press clear off keypad.
To change the oven temperature after quick bake
has started
1. Press quick bake key pad.
2. If necessary, press the or pad to increase or
decrease the oven set temperature .
When baking
• For optimum cooking results it is recommended to
preheat the oven when baking foods such as cookies,
biscuits and breads.
• Reduce oven temperature 25°F from recipe’s
recommended oven temperature. Follow the remainder
of the recipe’s instructions using the minimum
recommended cook time.
• When using 2 oven racks at the same time, place in
positions 2 & 5 for best results (See Fig. 1).
NOTES
• When using quick bake cook time reductions may vary
depending on the amount and type of food being
cooked.
• Layer cakes will have better results using the bake
feature.
• If the oven door is opened when quick bake is active,
the fan will stop rotating until the oven door is closed.
