Bake Mode

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

  • Press Bake.

  • Press the numbers to enter the desired temperature.

  • If desired, press Cook Time to set the cook time or Start Time to set the delayed start time. Press the numbers to set the time settings.

  • Press START. The oven starts to preheat.

  • If the cook time is set, the remaining time appears in the display. If a delayed start time is set, the start time appears in the display.

  • A chime sounds once preheating is complete.

  • A chime sounds at the end of the set cook time and a notification appears in the display. Open the oven door and remove the food.

Note
  • If no cook time is set, the oven turns off automatically after 12 hours.

Changing the Cook Settings

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

  • For best results, food should be placed on a single rack with at least 1” to 1 1/2” of air space between the pans and oven walls.

  • 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.
