Operation
About the Appliance
Behind the classic design is modern and perfected
technology that ensures a high degree of efficiency. For
instance, we have further improved the distribution of heat
in the oven by using newly designed elements. The
advantage of this results in shorter cooking times, perfect
results and lower energy costs.
This oven is very convenient and easy to operate, even
with the wide variety of options. The cooking mode and
temperature can be adjusted with very little effort. The
additional functions such as Cook Time can be set at the
touch of a button in just a few seconds, and the display
always presents the most important information while you
are cooking.
Operating the Oven
Baking layer cakes with 1 or 2 oven racks
For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks,
place bakeware on rack positions 2 & 5 (See Fig. 2). For
best results when using a single oven flat rack, place
bakeware on rack positions 3 or 4 (See Fig. 1).
Bake
BAKE
Bake is cooking with dry, heated air.
Both the upper and lower elements
cycle to maintain the oven
temperature.
The Bake mode can be used to prepare a variety of food
items, from pastries to casseroles. Refer to recipe or
package directions for oven temperature and baking time.
Tips
• Preheat the oven if the recipe recommends it.
• Baking time will vary with the size, shape and finish of
the bakeware. Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings
will cook faster with darker results. Insulated bakeware
will lengthen the cook time for most foods.
• For best results, bake food on a single rack with at
least 1-11/2'' space between pans or dishes and oven
wails.
• Eliminate heat loss from the oven by using the window
to periodically check food for doneness instead of
opening the door.
If multiple racks are necessary, use a maximum of 2 racks.
For cakes use rack positions 2 and 5, for cookies use rack
positions 1 and 4. Stagger pans so that one is not directly
above the other (see graphic below). See "Pan Placement"
under "General Tips" for more info. You may also consider
using a convection mode.
