Baking tips
• Fully preheat the oven before cooking items like cookies,
biscuits and breads.
• When using any single rack, position the rack so that the
food is in the center of the oven.
• For best results when baking cakes or cookies using 2 oven
racks, place cookware as shown in Fig. 10, on page 14 and
place racks in rack positions 3 & 5. (Fig. 11, on page 14)
Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny bakeware,
resulting in dark or over-browning of foods. It may be
necessary to reduce the oven temperature 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.
Important note:
• The oven will bake no longer than 12 hours. If you wish to
bake for a longer period, see Changing between
continuous bake setting or 12-Hour Energy Saving mode
for detailed information.
