OVEN CONTROL FUNCTIONS
Bake
The oven can be programmed to bake at any temperature
from 170°F to 500°F (77°C to 260°C). The factory preset
default bake temperature is 350°F (176°C).
CAUTION
Always use oven mitts when using the oven. When
cooking, oven racks become very hot and can cause
burns.
For best results:
•
Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,
cakes, biscuits, or breads.
•
Single rack baking is suggested for best baking perfor-
mance.

•
Leave oven light off while baking.
•
When using a single rack for baking, position food in the
center of the oven and use rack position 2.
•
When baking cakes using two racks, place bakeware
on oven rack positions 2 and 4 and position cake pans
as shown in
Figure
5.
•
Use rack positions 2 and 4 when baking cookies on
multiple pans.
•
Dark or dull pans and glass absorb more heat than
shiny bakeware resulting in dark or over browning of
foods. It may be necessary to reduce the oven tempera-
ture or cook time to prevent over browning of some
foods. Dark pans are recommended for pies. Shiny
pans are recommended for cakes, cookies and muffins.
•
Allow 2" to 4" (5.1 cm to 10.2 cm) of space between
bakeware to allow for proper air circulation.
•
Do not open the oven door too often; doing so will
reduce the temperature in the oven and increase
cooking time.
