SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Setting Bake
Bake cooks with heat that rises from the oven bottom. The
heat and air circulate naturally in the oven. Follow baking
recommendations for best results. The oven (and oven on
indicator light) will cycle on and off to maintain the set
temperature.
The oven can be programmed to bake at any temperature
from 170°F to 500°F (77°C to 260°C). The factory preset
automatic bake temperature is 350°F (177°C).
Baking Tips
•
Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,
cakes, biscuits, and breads.
•
When using any single rack, use rack position 4.
•
For best results when baking cakes using two oven
racks, place racks in positions 3 and 5.
•
When baking using two oven racks, position cookware
to allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between
cookware for proper air circulation and position pans as
shown in
Figure
11.
•
Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny
bakeware, resulting in dark or overbrowned foods. It
may be necessary to reduce oven temperature or cook
time to prevent overbrowning of some foods.
•
Dark pans are recommended for pies; shiny pans are
recommended for cakes, cookies, and muffins
•
Do not open oven door often. Opening the door will
reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase
cook time.
•
Do not leave oven light on while baking.
CAUTION
Always use oven mitts. Oven racks will become very hot
which can cause burns.
