Bake Mode Tips
•Preheat when using the Bake mode.
•Baking time will vary with the size, shape and finish of the baking utensil. Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings will cook faster with darker results. Insulated bakeware will lengthen the cooking time for most foods.
•For best results, bake food on a single rack with at least
•Use a maximum of 2 racks when selecting the bake mode. Stagger pans so that one is not directly above another.
•To reduce heat loss, avoid opening the oven door. Whenever possible, check food through the window.
•Do not use any aluminum foil or a disposable aluminum tray to line any part of the oven. This will alter the cooking performance and can damage the finish of the oven.
Bake Mode Recommendations
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.*
Use BAKE for baking on one or two racks. Most items are baked on rack position 3 (center rack in oven).
Some foods are best when other rack positions are used. Refer to the chart below for foods that should be baked using other rack positions.
