Benefits of Speed Bake™ Cooking

System:

—Foods cook up to 25 to 30% faster, saving time and energy.

—Multiple rack baking.

—No special pans or bakeware needed.

	How the Speed Bake™ Cooking System works (some
	models)
	Speed Bake™ Cooking System uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat
	uniformly and continuously around the oven. This improved heat distribution
	allows for fast, even cooking and browning results. It also gives better baking
	results when using two racks at the same time (See Fig. 1).
	Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors.
	Meats cooked with Speed Bake™ Cooking System are juicer. Poultry is
	crisp on the outside while staying tender and moist on the inside. Breads and

	cooked faster and more evenly with Speed Bake™ Cooking System.
General Cooking Instructions:
For Baking:

1.For optimum cooking results it is recommended to preheat the oven when baking foods such as cookies, biscuits and breads.

2.Reduce oven temperature 25° F from recipe’s recommended oven temperature. Follow the remainder of the recipe’s instructions using the minimum recommended cook time.

3.When using 2 oven racks at the same time, place in positions 2 & 5 for best results (See Fig. 2)

Note: Layer cakes will have better results using the normal Bake feature.

For Roasting:

1.Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods with Speed Bake™ Cooking System.

2.Since Speed Bake cooks food faster, reduce the cook time by 25% from the recommended cook time of your recipe. Increase the time until the desired doneness is obtained.

Note: Cook time reductions will vary depending on the amount and type of food being cooked.

To Set Speed Bake™ Cooking System:

1.Program the oven as you normally would to bake. Speed Bake may be used with Bake, Timed Bake and Delayed Time Bake features.

2.Press and release Speed Bake switch. The indicator light located above the Speed Bake switch will glow and the fan will come on. The fan stays on when the oven door is closed and shuts off while the oven door is opened. The fan will continue to operate until cooking is complete.

3.To cancel Speed Bake, press on the oven control as you would to stop any baking function.

NOTE: The Speed Bake feature will not work during a Self-Cleaning cycle.
