Setting Oven Controls
See example below to set a bake, starting
immediately with the auto-suggest (default) setting
of
350°F (176°C).
Once START is pressed the oven will begin heating.
The oven display shows PRE-HEATING. While
PREHEATING the Convection fan may operate.
After the oven reaches set temperature, PRE-
HEATING will turn off and a beep will indicate the
oven is ready. The oven will continue to maintain this
temperature until the cooking feature is canceled.
If your recipe requires a different baking
temperature than the auto-suggested (default)
temperature (example below shows upper oven
temperature set for 425°F/218°C):
Setting bake for oven
Use the bake feature to cook most food items that
require normal cooking temperatures.
Bake may be set with the following options:
• Rapid preheat
• Cook time
• Cook time with end time
• Probe
The following temperature settings apply to the
bake feature:
• Auto-suggest (default) setting:
350°F/176°C
• Min. bake setting:
170°F/76°C
• Max. bake setting:
550°F/288°C
•
Fully preheat the oven before baking items like
cookies, cakes, biscuits, and breads.
•
When using any single oven rack, position the
rack in the oven so that the food is in the center
of the oven. For multiple rack baking, use the
convection bake function.
• If using two racks, place the oven racks in
position 2 and 4.
• When placing multiple food items in the oven
allow 2"-4" (5-10cm) of space between the food
items for proper air circulation (see figures for
more details).
• 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.
•
Do not open oven door often. Opening the door
will reduce the temperature in the oven and may
increase cook time.
