Operation

About the Appliance

Behind the classic design is modern and perfected technology that ensures a high degree of efficiency. For instance, we have further improved the distribution of heat in the oven by using newly designed elements. The advantage of this results in shorter cooking times, perfect results and lower energy costs.

This oven is very convenient and easy to operate, even with the wide variety of options. The cooking mode and temperature can be adjusted with very little effort. The additional functions such as Cook Time can be set at the touch of a button in just a few seconds, and the display always presents the most important information while you are cooking.

Operating the Oven

Baking layer cakes with 1 or 2 oven racks

For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks, place bakeware on rack positions 2 & 5 (See Fig. 2). For best results when using a single oven flat rack, place bakeware on rack positions 2 or 3 (See Fig. 1).

Fig. 1 Fig. 2

If multiple racks are necessary, use a maximum of 2 racks. For cakes and cookies use rack positions 2 and 5. Stagger cake pans so that one is not directly above the other (see graphic above). See "Pan Placement" under "General Tips" for more info. You may also consider using a convection mode.

Bake

BAKE	Bake is cooking with dry, heated air.
	The lower burner cycles to maintain
	the oven temperature.

The Bake mode can be used to prepare a variety of food items, from pastries to casseroles. Refer to recipe or package directions for oven temperature and baking time.

Tips

•Preheat the oven if the recipe recommends it.

•Baking time will vary with the size, shape and finish of the bakeware. Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings will cook faster with darker results. Insulated bakeware will lengthen the cook time for most foods.

•For best results, bake food on a single rack with at least 1-11/2" space between pans or dishes and oven walls.

•Eliminate heat loss from the oven by using the window to periodically check food for doneness instead of opening the door.

The oven can be programmed to bake at any temperature from 170°F to 550°F (77°C to 287°C). The factory preset automatic bake temperature is 350°F (177°C).

To set bake

1.Press “BAKE”. "— — —" appears in the display.

2.Within 5 seconds, press the “+” or “-”. The display will show "350°F (177°C)." By pressing and holding the “+” or “-”, the temperature can then be adjusted in 5°F increments (1°C if the control is set to display Celsius).

3.As soon as the “+” or “-” pad is released, the oven will begin heating to the selected temperature. When the displayed temperature reaches the desired baking temperature, the preheat indicator light will turn OFF and the control will beep 3 times.

4.To cancel bake, press “Clear/Off”.

To change the oven temperature after bake has started:

1.Press “BAKE”. Visually check the bake temperature and that it needs to be changed.

2.Press the “+” or “-” pad to increase or decrease the set temperature to the desired new oven temperature.
