Operating the oven
Baking
The oven can be programmed to bake at any temperature from 175 °F to 550 °F.
Baking temperature and time will vary depending on the ingredients and the size
and shape of the baking pan used. Dark or nonstick coatings may cook faster with
more browning.
How to set the temperature
1.
To use twin mode, insert the partition and then press LOWER. If you are using
single mode, skip this step.
2.
Press Bake. The default temperature is 350 °F.
3.
Enter the temperature you want on the number pad, eg. 3, 7, 5.
4.
Press START/SET. The temperature display will start to change once the oven
temperature reaches 175 °F.
5.
If you want to cancel baking or if you have finished, press OVEN OFF (LOWER
OVEN OFF).
•
Place food in the oven after preheating if the recipe calls for it.
Preheating is very important for good results when baking cakes,
cookies, pastry, and breads. After the oven has reached the desired
temperature, the range will beep 6 times.
NOTE
For performance reasons, the convection fan may be turned on or off during the
operation.
How to adjust the temperature while cooking
1.
Press Bake. The display will show the present temperature, eg. 375 °F.
2.
Enter the temperature you want, eg. 425 °F, using the number pad.
3.
Complete the entry by pressing START/SET.

Tips for convection baking
The amount of time you save will vary depending on the amount and type of food
you are cooking. When baking cookies or biscuits, you should use pans with no
sides or very low sides to allow the heated air to circulate around the food. Using
a pan with a dark finish will produce faster cooking times.
When using convection baking with a single rack, place the oven rack in position 3
or 4. If cooking on multiple racks, place the oven racks in position 3 and 5.
When baking a cake, using the bake mode (not the convection bake mode) will
produce better results.
By using the convection bake feature, you
will be able to cook faster. Convection
baking uses a fan to circulate the oven's
heat evenly and continuously within the
oven. This improved heat distribution allows
for even cooking and excellent results
while using multiple racks at the same
time. Foods cooked on a single oven rack
will generally cook faster and more evenly
with convection baking. Multiple oven rack
cooking may slightly increase cook times
for some foods, but the overall result is
time saved. Breads and pastries brown
more evenly. You can program the oven
for convection baking at any temperature
between 175 °F and 550 °F.
