Solving Baking Problems

With either BAKE or CONVECTION, poor results can occur for many reasons other than a malfunction of the oven. Check the chart below for causes of the most common problems. Since the size, shape and material of baking utensils directly affect the baking results, the best solution may be to replace old baking utensils that have darkened and warped with age and use. Check the Baking Charts on Pages 38 – 40 for the correct rack level.
