14 Setting Oven Controls Bake Use bake to cook most food items that require normal cooking temperatures. Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies, cakes, biscuits and breads. Bake may be set with the following options: • Rapid preheat • Probe • Cook time and cook time with end time setting The following oven temperature settings apply will to the bake feature: • Factory default bake setting: 350°F (176°C) • Minimum bake setting: 170°F (76°C) • Maximum bake setting: 550°F (288°C) To set the oven for bake at the default oven temperature of 350°F(176°C): 1. Press bake. The default oven temperature of 350°F will appear in the display. 2. Press START. When bake is activated the oven will begin preheating and the convection fan will run until preheating is complete. When the oven reaches set temperature the control will sound a tone indicating the oven is ready. To stop bake at any time press CANCEL. Always use pot holders or oven mitts when working with a hot oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven racks 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 To set bake with oven temperature of 425°F(218°C): 1. Press bake. IMPORTANT! A cook time setting may be added to a baking function any time after starting a bake. Refer to "Cook Duration" on page 17 for complete instructions. • To add or change any cook settings once the oven is baking you can make temperature changes using the hi + or lo - keys. Each press will adjust the temperature by + 5°F or - 5°F (or 2°C). If bake is active without a cook time setting, the oven will remain on for 12 hours before turning off automatically unless it is canceled. To bake longer than 12 hours, see "Changing Between 12 Hour Energy Saving or Continuous Bake Mode Settings" on page 11 for instructions. For best results • Fully preheat the oven when baking items like cookies, cakes, biscuits and breads. When using a single rack for baking, place in oven rack position 3. • When baking cakes using 2 Glide racks, place cookware on positions 2 and 6 and position cookware allowing 2-4 inches (5-10cm) of space between the food items to ensure proper circulation.(Figure 15) • When using a flat rack with a glide rack, use position 7 for the flat rack and 2 for the glide rack or place the flat rack in 2 and the glide rack in position 6. • 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. • For batter and dough-based baked goods such as cakes, pastries, and breads, use the convection bake function for best results. 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 2.
