Bake Element
Element Wattage: 208/240 volts @ 2250/3000
watts. Approximately 19
Ω
The bake function controls the Bake and
Broil heating elements. During a Bake cycle,
the Broil element will be on 6 seconds of a
60-second duty cycle, and then the Bake
element will be on the remaining 54
seconds. The Bake and Broil elements will
be staged with the exception of the rapid
preheat. In the rapid preheat, available when
the upper oven is used alone, the bake and
broil elements will be on at 100% until
temperature is reached. Once temperature
is reached, the elements will cycle as
outlined above.
Note: The Bake element will be the first
element to turn on at the beginning of any
conventional bake cycle.
