EN
With either Bake or Convection Bake, poor results can occur for many reasons other than a malfunction of the oven. Check the chart
below for causes of the most common problems. Since the size, shape and material of baking utensils directly affect the baking
results, the best solution may be to replace old baking utensils that have darkened and warped with age and use.
Baking Problem

Food too brown on bottom
Food is dry or has shrunk excessively
Food is baking or roasting too slowly
Pie crusts do not brown on bottom or have soggy crust
Cakes pale, flat and may not be done inside
