OVEN CONTROLS
Setting Bake
Bake cooks with heat that rises from the oven bottom. The
heat and air circulate naturally in the oven. Follow Baking
Recommendations for best results.
A reminder tone will sound indicating when the set bake
temperature is reached and to place the food in the oven.
Bake may be set for any oven temperature between 170°F
(77°C) to 550°F (288°C).
Baking tips
• Fully preheat the oven before baking.
• Use the convection bake function for best results when
baking cookies on multiple racks (
“Convection Bake”
on page 21.) Follow instructions for convection baking
tips on page 21.
• Bake is the best function to use for baking cakes.
• For best results when baking cakes or cookies using
two oven racks, place racks in positions 3 and 7
(
Figure 17) and place pans as shown in Figure 16.
• When using any single rack, use rack position 5 so the
food is in the center of the oven.
• Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between
bakeware for proper air circulation.
• Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny
bakeware, resulting in dark or overbrowning of foods. It
may be necessary to reduce the oven temperature or
cook time to prevent overbrowning of some foods.
• Glass cookware is a slow heat conductor. May require
reducing oven temperature.
• Do not open oven door often. Opening the door will
reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase
cook time.
Important: The oven will bake no longer than 6 hours. If
you wish to bake for a longer period, see “Changing
between continuous bake setting or 6 hour energy saving”
on page 18 for detailed information.
