Setting Oven Controls 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. Bake may be set for any oven temperature between 170°F (77°C) to 550°F (288°C). Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven racks and cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns. Example — To set Bake with default oven temperature of 350°F: 1. Press Bake keypad. 2. Press START. To cancel bake at anytime press OFF. Example — To set Bake for oven temperature of 425°F: 1. Press Bake keypad. 2. Enter 4 2 5 using numeric keypads. 3. Press START. To cancel Bake at anytime press OFF. Bread Proof This range has a Bread Proof feature for preparing bread dough. The recommended length of time to keep the bread dough in the oven is about 45-60 minutes. Be sure however to follow the recipe’s recommended times. Since the bread dough will nearly double in volume be sure to place the prepared dough in a large bowl and arrange the oven racks to allow for this increase in size. To activate Bread Proof feature: 1. Place dough in the oven. 2. Press the Bread Proof keypad. The convection fan will turn and the oven temperature will reach 100°F. (See Fig. 1). To cancel Bread Proof at anytime press OFF. Fig. 1 Important notes: • The oven will bake no longer than 12 hours. If you wish to continuously bake, see Changing between continuous bake setting or 12-Hour Energy Saving feature for detailed information. • 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 recommended for pies. Shiny pans are recommended for cakes, cookies and muffins. 16
