How to Bake and Time Bake in Your Double Oven
See Baking Guide on page 12.
When set to bake, the double
by
oven cooks
dry heat. Bake and
broil units are both energized (the
broil unit at reduced wattage)
until the oven temperature you
select (from 150 to 550"F.) is
reached. The temperature control
then turns the oven heating units
off and onto maintain the desired
oven temperature. In a quiet
kitchen, you may hear a slight
"click" sound during cooking as the
heating units are turned off and on.
The oven temperature display will
show—90°F. or higher than actual
room temperature until the oven
temperature reaches 150"F. This
is normal.
As the oven heats, the temperature
on the display may seesaw a few
degrees. This, too, is normal,
because the electronic control
accurately indicates slight changes
in air temperature.
Most foods cook satisfactorily
without preheating the oven. If
preheating is required, put your
food in the oven promptly when the
oven signals that the desired
temperature has been reached.
When cooking food for the first
time, use the time given in your
recipe as a guide.
Don't open the oven door to check
on foods any more often than
necessary—doing so could cause
undesirable baking results. Check
when minimum time shown on
recipe is up. Then cook food
longer, if necessary.
Note: Cooking controls will not
work after automatic oven cleaning
until the oven has cooled and you
unlatch the door.

How to Time Bake
Your oven can be set to turn on
and off automatically. However,
foods will continue to cook when
left in the oven, even though it's
turned off. That's why you
should not use the Bake Time or
Stop Time feature when timing is
critical unless you'll be on hand
to take foods out of the oven
when they're done.
To set Immediate Start (oven
starts immediately and turns off
automatically at later time):
