Bake
Use BAKE to cook most food items that require normal cooking
temperatures. Bake may be set with the following options:
•
Fast preheat
• Cook Time and Cook Time with End Time setting
The following oven temperature settings apply will to the
BAKE feature:
•
Factory default bake setting: 350°F/176°C
• Minimum bake setting: 170°F/77°C
• Maximum bake setting: 500°F/260°C
To set the oven for bake at the default oven temperature of
350°F(176°C):
Once BAKE is active the oven will begin preheating. When the
oven reaches set temperature the control will sound a tone indi-
cating the oven is ready.
To stop BAKE at any time press CANCEL
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when
working with a hot oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven
racks and cooktop will become hot enough to cause burns.
DO not cook foods directly on the oven bottom. To avoid
damaging the oven interior and surfaces, always cook foods in
the oven using cookware positioned on an oven rack
To set BAKE with oven temperature of 425°F/218°C:
To stop BAKE at any time press CANCEL
•
The convection fan will rotate when BAKE is first started.
This is normal. The fan will turn off once the oven reaches
the set temperature.
• A cook time setting may be added to a baking function any
time after starting a bake. Refer to the cook time section
for complete instructions.
If BAKE is active without a cook time setting, the oven will
remain on for 12 hours before turning off automatically unless it
is cancelled. To bake longer than 12 hours, see
“Changing
between 12- Hour Energy Saving or continuous bake mode
settings” on page 18
for instructions.
For best results
•
Place food items using oven rack positions 2 or 4.
(
Figure 40 )
• When using an offset oven rack (some models), place in
oven rack position 2 or 3.
• For best results when baking cakes using 2 racks, place
cookware on oven rack positions 2 and 4. (
Figure 41 )
• When using 2 oven racks for baking, position cookware
allowing 2-4 inches (5-10cm) of space between the food
items to ensure proper circulation.
• Dark or dull pans and glass absorb more heat than shiny
bakeware resulting in dark or over browning of foods. To
prevent this it may be necessary to reduce the oven tem-
perature or cook time to prevent over browning of some
foods. Dark pans are recommended for pies. Shiny pans
are recommended for cakes, cookies and muffins.
• Do not open the oven door too often. Opening the door will
reduce the temperature in the oven.
• For batter and dough-based baked goods such as cakes,
pastries, and breads, use the standard bake function for
best results.
