SETTING 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.
The oven can be programmed to bake at any temperature 
from 170°F to 550°F (77°C to 288°C). The factory preset 
automatic bake temperature is 350°F (177°C).
For best bake results:
• Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies, 
cakes, biscuits, and breads.
• Use rack position 3 when baking most items on a single 
oven rack.
• When baking a layer cake using a single oven rack, use 
rack position 4.
• When baking using two oven racks, position cookware 
to allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between 
cookware for proper air circulation.
• For best results when baking layer cakes using 2 oven 
racks, place bakeware on rack positions 2 and 4
