.iow to Set Your Range for Baking

Do not lock the oven door with the latch during baking. The latch is used for self-cleaning only.

To avoid possible burns, place the oven shelves in the correct position before you turn the oven on.

1.Push the BAKE button and turn the SET knob until the desired temperature is displayed. If preheating is desired, do not put food in the oven until a 1- second beep sounds to tell you the oven is preheated.

2.Place the food in the oven on the desired shelf. Allow at least 2 inches between edge of bakeware and oven wall or adjacent cookware.

3.Close the oven door.

4.Check food for doneness at minimum time on recipe. Cook longer if necessary. Push the CANCEL button and remove food.

NOTE: To recall what temperature you have selected while the rising temperature is being shown, push and hold the BAKE button. The selected temperature will be shown until you release the BAKE button. The actual oven temperature will reappear after a few seconds. You can push the CLOCK button to display time of day without canceling the oven operation.

You can change the selected temperature at any time by pushing the BAKE button and turning the SET knob.

Preheating

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheat means brin~in~ the oven up to the specified temperatur~ b~fore putting-in the fo~d. To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature—selecting a higher temperature does not shorten preheat time.

Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. For most casseroles and roasts, preheating is not necessary. For ovens without a preheat indicator light or tone, preheat 10 minutes. After the oven is preheated place the food ‘n the oven as quickly as possible to prevent heat

Jm escaping.

Baking Pans

Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish on the pan determines the amount of browning that will occur.

●Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat resulting in a browner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies.

●Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect heat, resulting in a lighter, more delicate browning. Cakes and cookies require this type of pan.

●Glass baking dishes also absorb heat. When baking in glass baking dishes, lower the temperature by 25°F. and use the recommended cooking time in the recipe. This is not necessary when baking pies or casseroles.
