Baking tips
–You can also program a duration (see "Selecting cooking times"). However items should not be prepared too far in advance, the dough will dry out and the leavening agent will lose its effectiveness.
–Place rectangular or square cake pans with the longer side across the width of the oven. The heat will better distribute.
Combination bake
Default temperature . . . . 325°F (160°C)
This function is suitable for baking items with a longer bake time
e.g. dough, cake, cheesecake, etc.
This function combines the functions Microwave and Convection Bake. Heat reaches the food immediately shortening cooking times while still achieving a browned finish.
Metal cake pans are not recommended with this function. Metal pans reflect microwaves causing longer cooking times. In addition, the use of metal pans could cause sparking.
Place the pan on the glass tray so that it does not touch any of the appliance walls. If sparks continue to form, do not use that pan again for combination mode.
^Set the cake pan in the middle of the glass tray on the 1st level runner from the bottom. Be sure that the pan does not touch the walls.
The baking time is shortened.
^Set the microwave to "LO" for the entire duration of baking.
