Bake Function - Sage Smart Oven Pro Instruction Book

BAKE FUNCTION

The BAKE function cooks food evenly
throughout. This function is ideal for baking
cakes, muffins, brownies and pastries. The
BAKE function is also ideal for cooking pre-
packaged frozen meals such as lasagna and
pot pies.
1. Insert the wire rack, with the spokes facing
upward, into the bottom rack height
position. Note that some baked goods, such
as brownies or pastries, may be more suited
to the middle rack height position.
2. Close the oven door.
3. Turn the FUNCTION dial until the
indicator on the LCD screen reaches the
BAKE function. The top figure on the
LCD screen indicates the preset BAKE
temperature of 160°C, while the bottom
figure indicates the preset time of
':30 MINS'. The preset CONVECTION
setting will also be displayed.
4. The baking temperature and time can be
adjusted before or during the baking cycle.
a) The baking temperature is displayed as
the top figure on the LCD screen. Turn
the TEMPERATURE dial to adjust the
baking temperature from 50°C/120°F to a
maximum of 230°C/450°F.
b) The baking time is displayed as the bottom
figure on the LCD screen. Turn the TIME
dial to select up to 2 hours for temperatures

temperature, the temperature alert

roasting pan or other oven-proof dish, on
