Bake
During baking, the appropriate heating elements and convect
fans will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the oven
temperature. For best results, allow oven to preheat before
placing food in the oven. Bake is used to cook up to 2 racks of
food.
If the oven door is opened during baking, the heating elements
will turn off approximately 30 seconds after the door is opened.
They will turn on again approximately 30 seconds after the door
is closed.
Before Using Bake:
Before using Bake, see the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware”
section and the following tips for rack positions.
NOTE: An “o” after the rack position number indicates that the
offset rack should be used. An “f” indicates that the flat rack
should be used, and an “r” indicates that the roll-out rack should
be used.
Rack positions
1-rack baking: 3f
2-rack baking: 2o and 4f or 2o and 4r
For meat and poultry: 2o
For best results when baking cakes on 2 racks, use racks 4r and
