Quick bake (some models)
Benefits of the quick bake feature
— Foods will cook faster, saving time and energy.
— Multiple rack baking.
— No special pans or bakeware needed.
How quick bake works
Quick bake uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat
uniformly and continuously around the oven. This
improved heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking
and browning results. It also gives better baking results
when using two racks at the same time.
Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in
juices and flavors. Meats cooked with quick bake are
juicer. Poultry is crisp on the outside while staying tender
and moist on the inside. Breads and pastry brown more
evenly. Most foods baked in a standard oven can be
cooked faster and more evenly with quick bake.
Suggestions for quick bake
When baking
• For optimum cooking results it is recommended to
preheat the oven when baking foods such as cookies,
biscuits and breads.
• Reduce oven temperature 25°F from recipe’s
recommended oven temperature. Follow the
remainder of the recipe’s instructions using the
minimum recommended cook time.
• When using 2 oven racks at the same time, place in
positions 2 & 5 for best results (See Fig. 1).
When roasting
• Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods using
quick bake.
• Since quick bake cooks food faster, reduce the cook
time by 25% from the recommended cook time of
your recipe. Check the food at this time. If necessary,
increase cook time until the desired doneness is
obtained.
• Do not cover foods when dry roasting - this will
prevent the air from circulating around the food.
Setting quick bake
The oven may be programmed to quick bake at any
temperature from 300°F to 550°F (149°C to 287°C). The
factory preset automatic bake temperature is 350°F
(177°C).
To set quick bake:
1. Press . "— — —" appears in the display.
2. Press the or keypad. The display will show
350°F (177°C). By pressing or holding down
the or keypad, the temperature may be
adjusted in 5°F increments (1°C if the control is set to
display Celsius). Release the keypad when the desired
temperature appears in the display.
3. As soon as the or keypad 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.
To stop quick bake at any time, press .
To change the oven temperature after quick bake
has started:
1. Press keypad.
2. If necessary, press the or keypad to increase
or decrease the oven set temperature.
NOTES

reductions may vary depending on the amount and
type of food being cooked.
