Baking
Bake your favorite cookies, cakes, pies, brownies, etc. The bakeware that will fit in
your oven are up to 9 inches in length. We do not recommend the use of oven
roasting bags or glass containers in the oven. Never use plastic cardboard, paper or
anything similar in the oven.
Note: When using a single bake rack, position the Bake Rack in the lowest Support
Guide.
Operation
• Place the Bake Rack in the lowest or middle Rack Support Guide depending on the
height of the pan or according to the recipe.
• Preheat the oven as directed in the recipe, approximately 15 minutes.
• Place pan with item(s) to be baked on the Bake Rack.
• Turn the Function Control to BAKE.
• Turn the Time Control to position "Stay On".
• When baking is complete, turn the Time Control to "OFF".
Baking On 2 Racks
• Two racks of cookies or pies can be baked at the same time, however it is
necessary to rotate them (i.e. move the top to the bottom and the bottom to the top)
halfway through the cooking time.
Positioning of the Bake Racks
Cookies - Use bottom and middle Support Guides.
Layer Cakes - Use bottom Support Guide only (bake one at a time).
Pies - Use bottom and middle Support Guides.
Baking Cookies
For baking cookies, we suggest adjusting baking temperature and using the cookie
sheets placed on the baking racks. Also, using parchment paper on the cookie sheets
might prove helpful when baking certain types of cookies.
1. Preheat oven for 15 minutes, then place cookie sheets on the bake racks to begin
baking.
2. Use parchment paper on cookie sheets so cookies will not stick.
3. Cookie sheets baking times and temperatures may differ from those necessary
when using other baking materials.
Baking Guide
Follow the package or recipe instructions for baking times and temperature.
Using the Pizza Stone
Your Pizza Stone heats evenly, absorbs moisture and cooks without fats, making each
dish a success.
• Preheat oven for 15 minutes on 450°.
• Turn the Function Control Knob to Bake.
• Set Timer Control Knob to “ON” position.
• Then lower temperature according to baking instructions.
• Place pizza stone on the Wire Rack and begin baking.
• Do not use oil or other fats on the pizza stone. You can add a light dusting of flour so
that dough will not stick to pizza stone.
• Pizza stone baking times and temperature may differ from those necessary when
using other baking pans.
• When pizza is ready, turn the Time Control Knob to “OFF” position.
• For cleaning, residues can be eliminated from pizza stone using a spatula or a
knife. For deeper cleaning, heat pizza stone in the oven, brush it with a scouring
pad (do not use detergents) and rinse well with hot water.
• With use, the pizza stone will darken but its characteristics will remain unchanged.
Keep Warm
Keep cooked food warm for up to 30 minutes. Longer periods of time are
not recommended as food will become dry or will spoil.
Operation
• Set the Temperature Control to 180
°.
• Turn the Function Control to Keep Warm.
• Turn the Time Control to "Stay On" position.
• Turn the Time Control to "Off" position when finished with Keep Warm.
CAUTION: When sliding rack out of oven, always
support the rack. Do not let go until you are sure
the rack is securely supported by the rack handle.
Toasting
Large capacity oven allows for toasting 4 to 6 slices of bread, 6 muffins,
frozen waffles or frozen pancakes. When toasting only 1 or 2 items, place
food on the bake rack in the center of the oven.
Operation
• Set the Temperature Control to 450
°.
• Turn the Function Control to Toast.
• Place food to be toasted on the Bake Rack.
• Ensure Crumb Tray is in place.
• Turn the Time Control to desired darkness. (Light to Dark).
• Bell will ring to signal the end of the Toast cycle.
Note: Bake Rack should be positioned in the middle of the oven
with the indentations pointing down.
Using the Convection Feature
Convection cooking combines hot air movement by means of a fan with the
regular features (broil, rotisserie, bake and toast). Convection cooking provides
faster cooking in many cases than regular radiant types toaster ovens. The fan
gently sends air to every area of the food, quickly browning, crisping and sealing
in moisture and flavor. It produces more even temperature all around the food
by air movement, so that food cooks/bakes/roasts evenly versus the normal
ovens hot and cold spots. The convection feature allows cooking/baking at
lower temperatures, which saves energy and helps keep the kitchen cooler.
