Setting Bake
Bake cooks with heat that rises from the oven
bottom. The heat and air circulate naturally in the
oven. Follow baking recommendations for best re-
sults.
The oven can be programmed to bake at any tem-
perature from 170°F to 550°F (77°C to 288°C). The
factory preset automatic bake temperature is 350°F
(177°C).
Baking Tips
• Fully preheat the oven before baking items like
cookies, cakes, biscuits, and breads.
• When using any single rack, use rack position 3.
• For best results when baking cakes using two
oven racks, place racks in positions 3 and 5.
(Figure 10).
• When baking using two oven racks, position
cookware to allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of
space between cookware for proper air circula-
tion. Place pans as shown in Figure 11.
• Dark baking dishes absorb more heat than
bright baking dishes, resulting in dark or overly
browned food. It may be necessary to reduce
the oven temperature or the cooking time to
avoid excessive browning of certain foods.
• Dark casseroles are recommended for pies;
Bright pans are recommended for cakes, cook-
ies, and mufns.
• Leave the oven light off while baking.
