Setting Oven Controls
Cakes Breads
The Cakes Breads functions are designed to give optimum
baking performance for Cakes or Breads. These functions
work well for baking cakes, brownies, pies (fresh or frozen),
baked custards, cheesecakes, breads, rolls, biscuits, muffi ns
and cornbread.
The Cakes function provides a preheat with a gentle cycling
of heat giving cakes more volume and allowing delicate
foods to cook more evenly.
The Breads function adds a special preheat feature to the
bake cycle that thoroughly heats the oven from top to
bottom to give more evenly browned foods.
See the example below to set Cakes or Breads.
1. Arrange oven racks when cool. If needed preheat oven
as desired and place food in oven.
2. For Cakes, press the CAKES BREADS keypad until

For Breads, press the CAKES BREADS keypad until

If needed, use numeric keypads to enter a diff erent oven
temperature.

For best results
• 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. Dark pans are
recommended for pies. Shiny pans are recommended for
cakes, cookies or muffins.
• Breads will have better results baking on a single oven
rack.
• When baking layer cakes or cookies using 2 oven racks,
place cookware on rack in position 2 and 4. For best
results when baking cakes or cookies using a single oven
rack, place rack in position 2 or 3.
