Bake

Bake is used to prepare foods such as pastries, breads and casseroles.

The oven can be set to bake at any temperature from 140 ℃ to 250 ℃.

• Push and turn the oven knob counterclockwise until you reach the desired temperature.

  

  Caution

  • Always check that the burner of the oven has a flame at the bottom. If there is no flame, turn the oven knob again.

  Note

  • Pushing the knob activates the electric spark ignition system.

  • The electric spark ignition system makes a clicking noise.

• When cooking is complete, turn the oven knob to the OFF (#) position.

• Remove the food from the oven.

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.
