Lower Oven Operating instructions
BAKE
Use the bake feature to cook most food items that require
normal cooking temperatures.
The following temperature settings apply to the bake
feature:
• Auto-suggest (default) setting: 350°F/177°C
• Min. bake setting: 170°F / 76°C
• Max. bake setting: 550°F / 288°C
If your recipe requires a different baking temperature than
the auto-suggested (default) temperature (example below
shows lower oven temperature set for 425°F/ 218°C):
1. Press BAKE
2. Enter the temperature by pressing the number pads
4 2 5.

Setting bake for lower oven
See example below to set a bake to start immediately at
the default temperature.

2. Press START
To add or change any cook settings after this feature has
started:
• Press BAKE and use the numeric pads.
• If changing cooking times, select the cook time or delay
start keys needed to make the changes.
Once START is pressed the oven will begin heating. The
oven display shows the temperature rising. While preheating
the convection fan may operate.
After the oven reaches set temperature a beep will indicate
the oven is ready. The oven will continue to maintain this
temperature until the cooking feature is canceled.
NOTE
You may press STOP any time when setting the control or
during the cooking process.
For best results
• As much as possible, use only one rack on position 2 or 3
and center the pans. If more racks or pans are needed,
refer to the figures below.
• If using two racks, place the oven racks in position 2 and
4.
• When placing multiple food items in the oven allow 2-4”
(5-lOcm) of space between the food items for proper air
circulation.
• 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.
