Setting Bake
Use the bake feature whenever the recipe calls for baking
using normal temperatures. A reminder tone will sound
indicating when the set Bake temperature is reached and
to place the food in the oven. If preheating is necessary,

(77°C) to 550°F (288°C).
Always use pot holders or oven mitts
when using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior,
oven racks and cooktop will become very hot which can
cause burns.

Important notes:
• The oven will bake no longer than 12 hours. If you wish
to continuously bake, see Changing between continuous
bake setting or 12-Hour Energy Saving feature for
detailed information.
• Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny
bakeware resulting in dark or overbrowning of foods. It
may be necessary to reduce the oven temperature or
cook time to prevent overbrowning of some foods. Dark
pans are recommended for pies. Shiny pans are
recommended for cakes, cookies and muffins.
