Getting the Most Out of Your Appliance

General Tips

Pan Placement

Baking results are better if pans are placed in the center of the oven. If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1" to 1 ½" of air space around the pan. When baking four cake layers at the same time, stagger pans on two racks so that one pan is not directly above the other. See Baking Layer Cakes with 1 or 2 racks.

Baking Pans and Dishes

Glass baking dishes absorb heat. Follow manufacturers' recommendations.

For tender, light, golden brown crusts, use light, shiny metal bakeware.

Dark, rough or dull pans (nonstick or anodized) will absorb heat and result in a browner, crisper crust. Some manufacturers recommend reducing the temperature 25 ºF when using this type of pan. Follow manufacturers' recommendations.

Insulated cookie sheets or bakeware may increase the length of cooking time.

Do not set any heavy objects on the open oven door.

Do not keep the empty bakeware in the oven during cooking as this changes cooking performance.

Aluminum Foil

Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line any part of the appliance, especially the oven bottom. Installing these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.

Preheating the Oven

Place oven racks in desired position before heating the oven.

Preheat the oven in all cooking modes.

Allow oven to preheat while preparing recipe ingredients or food items.

Setting a higher temperature does not shorten preheat time.

Once oven is preheated, place food in the oven as quickly as possible to minimize the loss of heat and reduction of oven temperature.

Adjusting the Oven Temperature

Your appliance has been factory calibrated and tested to ensure an accurate baking temperature. For the first frew uses, follow your recipe times and temperature recommendations carefully. If you think that the oven is cooking too hot or too cool for your recipe times, you can adjust the control so that the oven cooks hotter or cooler than the temperature displayed.

To adjust oven temperature:

1.Press “BAKE”.

2.Set the temperature to 550°F (287°C) by pressing and holding the “+”.

3.Within 2 seconds, press and hold “BAKE” until the 2 digit display appears. Release “BAKE” . The display now indicates the amount of degrees offset between the original factory temperature setting and the current temperature setting. If the oven control has the original factory calibration, the display will read "0".

4.The temperature can now be adjusted up or down 35°F (19°C), in 5°F steps by pressing and holding the “+” or -”. Adjust until the desired amount of offset appears in the display. When lowering the oven temperature, a minus sign (-) will appear before the number to indicate that the oven will be cooler by the displayed amount of degrees.

5.When you have made the desired adjustment, press “Clear/Off” to go back to the time of day display.

For Best Results

Open the door as briefly as possible to avoid temperature reduction.

Use the interior oven light to view the food through the oven window rather than opening the door frequently.

Use the Timer to keep track of cooking times.

High Altitude Baking

When cooking at high altitudes, recipes and cooking times will vary.

For accurate information, write the Extension Service, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado 80521. There may be a cost for the guides. Specify which high altitude food preparation guide you prefer: general information, cakes, cookies, breads, etc.
