22 USING THE OVEN
BAKE
BAKE is used to prepare foods such as pastries, breads,
casseroles. The oven can be programmed to bake at any
temperature from 170°F (77°C) to 550°F (288°C). The
default temperature is 350°F (177°C).
Setting the BAKE function (example, 375°F):
1. Press the BAKE button.
2. Set the oven temperature using the number buttons:
Press 3, 7 and 5.
3. Press the START button. The oven will start 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 will sound and the oven light will
blink on and off.
4. When cooking is complete, press the CLEAR OFF
button.
5. Remove food from the oven.
It is normal for the convection fan to operate
periodically throughout a normal bake cycle. This is
to ensure even baking results.
NOTE
(ON SOME MODELS)
Baking Tips
• Baking time and temperature will vary depending on the
ingredients, size, and shaped 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.
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.
NOTE
CONVECTION BAKE
(ON SOME MODELS)
The convection system uses a fan to circulate the heat
evenly within the oven. Improved heat distribution allows
for even cooking and excellent results while cooking with
single or multiple racks.
Setting the CONVECTION BAKE function
(example, 375°F):
1. Press the CONV. BAKE button. The display will flash
350°F.
2. Set the oven temperature using the number buttons:
Press 3, 7 and 5.
3. Press the START button. The display will show CONV.
BAKE and the oven temperature starting at 100°F.
As the oven preheats, the display will show increasing
temperatures in 5 degree increments. Once the oven
reaches the set adjusted temperature, a tone will sound
and the oven light will flash on and off. The display will
show the auto converted oven temperature 350°F,
CONV. BAKE and the fan icon.
4. When cooking has finished or to cancel, press the
CLEAR OFF button.
The oven fan will run while convection baking. The
fan will stop when the door is open, but the heat
will not turn off. In some cases, the fan may shut off
during a convection bake cycle.
NOTE
Tips for Convection Baking
• Cookies and biscuits should be baked on pans with no
sides or very low sides to allow heated air to circulate
around the food. Food baked on pans with a dark finish
will cook faster.
• When using Convection Bake with a single rack, place
oven rack in position C. If cooking on multiple racks,
place the oven racks in positions B and D (for 2 racks).
• Multiple oven rack cooking may slightly increase cook
times for some foods.
• Cakes, cookies and muffins will have better results
when using multiple racks.
