18 Setting Oven Controls Bake Use the bake function to cook most food items with normal cooking temperatures. The convection fan will rotate when Bake first starts. This is normal. The fan will turn off when the oven reaches the set temperature and the control will beep once to indicate the oven is ready. While baking, the oven will continue to cycle on and off. Always use pot holders or oven mitts when working with a hot oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven racks and cooktop will become hot enough to cause burns. Do not cook foods directly on the oven bottom. To avoid damaging the oven interior and surfaces, always cook foods in the oven using cookware positioned on an oven rack. For best results: • Leave oven light off while baking. • Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies, cakes, biscuits, or breads. • When using a single rack for baking, most foods should be placed on rack position 9. • When baking cakes using 2 racks, place cookware on oven rack positions 3 and 11 and position pans as shown in (Figure 17). Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) space between the food items to ensure proper circulation. • Dark or dull pans and glass absorb more heat than shiny bakeware resulting in dark or over browning of foods. To prevent this 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. • Do not open the oven door too often. Opening the door will reduce the temperature in the oven. Rack position 13 is for reference only. Do not place any rack on position 13 and attempt to cook! Figure 17: Pan spacing IMPORTANT! The oven Bake light will blink and the oven will not turn on if the temperature dial is set higher than 500ºF (260ºC). To set the oven for bake at 350ºF (177ºC): 1. Arrange the oven racks as desired before preheating. 2. Turn the function dial to bake. The Bake indicator light will flash (Figure 18).
