About the Appliance
Behind the classic design is modern and perfected
technology that ensures a high degree of efficiency. For
instance, we have further improved the distribution of heat
in the oven by using newly designed elements. The
advantage of this results in shorter cooking times, perfect
results and lower energy costs.
This oven is very convenient and easy to operate, even
with the wide variety of options. The cooking mode and
temperature can be adjusted with very little effort. The
additional functions such as Cook Time can be set at the
touch of a button in just a few seconds, and the display
always presents the most important information while you
are cooking.
Operating the Oven
Baking layer cakes with 1 or 2 oven racks
For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks,
place bakeware on rack positions 2 & 5 (See Fig. 2). For
best results when using a single oven flat rack, place
bakeware on rack positions 2 or 3 (See Fig. 1).
Fig. 1 Fig. 2
If multiple racks are necessary, use a maximum of 2 racks.
For cakes and cookies use rack positions 2 and 5. Stagger
cake pans so that one is not directly above the other (see
graphic above). See "Pan Placement" under "General Tips"
for more info. You may also consider using a convection
mode.
Bake
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.
Tips
Preheat the oven if the recipe recommends it.
Baking time will vary with the size, shape and finish of
the bakeware. Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings
will cook faster with darker results. Insulated bakeware
will lengthen the cook time for most foods.
For best results, bake food on a single rack with at
least 1-1

Eliminate heat loss from the oven by using the window
to periodically check food for doneness instead of
opening the door.
The oven can be programmed to bake at any temperature
from 170°F to 550°F (77°C to 287°C). The factory preset
automatic bake temperature is 350°F (177°C).
To set bake
1. Press “BAKE”. "— — —" appears in the display.
2. Within 5 seconds, press the “+or -”. The display will
show "350°F (177°C)." By pressing and holding the “+
or -”, the temperature can then be adjusted in 5°F
increments (1°C if the control is set to display Celsius).
3. As soon as the “+or -” pad is released, the oven will
begin heating to the selected temperature. When the
displayed temperature reaches the desired baking
temperature, the preheat indicator light will turn OFF
and the control will beep 3 times.
4. To cancel bake, press “Clear/Off”.
To change the oven temperature after bake has
started:
1. Press “BAKE”. Visually check the bake temperature
and that it needs to be changed.
2. Press the “+” or “-” pad to increase or decrease the set
temperature to the desired new oven temperature.
Bake is cooking with dry, heated air.
The lower burner cycles to maintain
