Setting Bake
Use the bake feature
whenever
the recipe
calls for baking
using
normal
temperatures.
A reminder
tone will sound indicating
when the set bake temperature
is reached
and to place the food
in the oven. During
preheat
the oven temperature
will appear
in
the display
along
with the bake icon. The convection
fan will run
to help heat the oven to the set temperature.
The fan will turn
off once the set temperature
is reached.
Bake may be set for any temperature
between
170°F (77°C)
to
550°F
(288°C).
To set bake for 425°F:
1.
Press Bake in upper
or lower oven.
2.
Enter 4 2 5 using the numeric
keypad.
3.
Press START.
To cancel
bake at any time press _.
For best results:
•
Fully preheat
the oven before
baking
items like cookies,
biscuits
and breads.
Dark or dull pans absorb
more heat than shiny bakeware
resulting
in dark
or overbrowning
of foods.
It may be
necessary
to reduce
the oven temperature
or cook time to
prevent
overbrowning
of some foods.
Dark pans are recom-
mended
for pies. Shiny pans are recommended
for cokes,
cookies and muffins.
•
Do not open oven door often.
Opening
the door will reduce
the temperature
in the oven and may increase
cook time.
Figure 15: Rack positions
and pan spacing
recommendations
Radiant
rack positions:
•
When
using any single rack, position
the rack so that the
food
is in the center
of the oven.
When
baking
using two oven racks, position
bakeware
as
shown in Figure 15. Place the top (flat)
rack in position
3
and the bottom
rack in position
1. Allow at least 2 inches (5
cm) of space between
bakeware
for proper
air circulation
and use the offset
rack (if available)
in the bottom
position.
Setting Convection
Bake (upper oven only)
The Convec
Bake key controls
the convection
bake feature.
Use
convection
bake when cooking
speed is desired.
The oven can
be programmed
for convection
baking
at any temperature
between
170°F (77°C)
to 550°F
(288°C).
Convection
baking
uses a fan to circulate
the oven's heat evenly
and continuously
within
the oven (Figure 16). This improved
heat
distribution
allows
for fast, even cooking
and browning
results. It
also gives better
baking
results when using two or three racks at
the same time. Breads and pastries
brown
more evenly.
•
When
using convection
bake, decrease
your
normal
cooking
times. Adjust
the cook time for desired
doneness
as
needed.
•
Time reductions
will vary depending
on the amount
and
type of food
to be cooked.
Food baked on pans with a dark
finish will cook faster.

convection
cooking
•
Preheating
is not necessary
for casseroles
with convection
baking.
•
When
using convection
bake with a single rack, place oven
rack in center
of oven. If cooking
on multiple
racks, place
the oven racks in positions
1 and 3.

rack positions
and pan spacing
for
convection
baking
Convection
rack positions:
When
using any single rack, position
the rack so that the
food
is in the center
of the oven. When
baking
using two
oven racks, position
bakeware
as shown in Figure 17. Place
the top (flat) rack in position
3 and the bottom
rack in
position
1. Allow
at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between
bakeware
for proper
air circulation
and use the offset
rack
(if available)
in the bottom
position.
