REGULAR BAKE CYCLE
During Regular Bake, the bake element is the
main source of heat in the oven, and will remain
on until the lower sensor is satisfied. In the
AccuBake system, the bake and broil elements
are programmed to operate for a defined per-
centage of time during each one minute cycle.
In the AccuBake Duo system, the bake ele-
ment is on for 24 seconds out of every minute,
and the broil element will cycle for 10 seconds
out of every minute. If the bake element is
operating, the broil element will remain off until
the bake element cycles off.

CHOICE BAKE
The Choice Bake cycle turns the top sensor off
to eliminate top heat in the oven. The Choice
Bake feature is not available during the Broil
mode.
The cooking results on an AccuBake Duo gas
range will be noticeably different than on any
previously manufactured gas range, due to an
added top heat feature.
The broil element will not cycle on, even though
it may sense cooler temperatures, until the
lower element has cycled off.
NOTE: During a normal 350° Bake cycle, the
top element may not turn on for 5 minutes, or
until the top sensor calls for heat.
TYPICAL 1 MINUTE CYCLES
WARM
The Warm feature defaults the oven to a "keep
warm" condition after a cooking cycle. The
default temperature is 170°, but can be pro-
grammed for 100° to 200°. The Warm feature
is independent and does not need to be pro-
grammed with a cooking cycle. It can be pro-
grammed at any time.
