Bake is used to prepare foods such as pastries, breads and casseroles.
The oven can be programmed to bake at any temperature from 170 ℉ (80 ℃) to 550 ℉ (285 ℃). The default temperature is 350 ℉ (175 ℃).
Press Bake.
Set the oven temperature: Press plus(+) until 375 °F (190 ℃)appears in the display.
Press START. The oven starts to preheat.
As the oven preheats, the temperature is displayed and rises in 5-degree increments. Once the oven reaches the set temperature, a tone sounds and the oven light blinks on and off.
When cooking is complete, press CLEAR/OFF.
Remove the food from the oven.
It is normal for the convection fan to operate periodically throughout a normal bake cycle in the oven. This is to ensure even baking results.
Baking time and temperature will vary depending on the characteristics, size, and shape of the baking pan used.
Check for food doneness at the minimum recipe time.
Use metal bakeware (with or without a nonstick finish), heatproof glass-ceramic, ceramic or other bakeware recommended for oven use.
Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings will cook food faster with more browning. Insulated bakeware will slightly lengthen the cooking time for most foods.
The oven bottom has a porcelain-enamel finish. To make cleaning easier, protect the oven bottom from excessive spillovers by placing a cookie sheet on the rack below the rack you are cooking on. This is particularly important when baking a fruit pie or other foods with a high acid content. Hot fruit fillings or other foods that are highly acidic may cause pitting and damage to the porcelain-enamel surface and should be wiped up immediately.
