Bake

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 ℃).

Setting the Bake Function
(For example, to bake at 375 °F (190 ℃))
  • Press Bake.

  • Set the oven temperature: Press plus(+) until 375 °F (190 ℃)appears in the display.

  • Press START. The oven starts to preheat.

    Note
    • 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.

Note
  • 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 Tips
  • 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.
