Baking tips
–
You can also program a duration
(see "Selecting cooking times").
However items should not be
prepared too far in advance, the
dough will dry out and the leavening
agent will lose its effectiveness.
–
Place rectangular or square cake
pans with the longer side across the
width of the oven. The heat will better
distribute.
Combination bake
Default temperature ....325°F (160°C)
This function is suitable for baking
items with a longer bake time
e.g. dough, cake, cheesecake, etc.
This function combines the functions
Microwave and Convection Bake. Heat
reaches the food immediately
shortening cooking times while still
achieving a browned finish.
Heat-resistant glass or ceramic
bakeware is suitable so microwaves
can get through the material.
Metal cake pans are not recommended
with this function. Metal pans reflect
microwaves causing longer cooking
times. In addition, the use of metal pans
could cause sparking.
Place the pan on the glass tray so that
it does not touch any of the appliance
walls. If sparks continue to form, do not
use that pan again for combination
mode.
^
Set the cake pan in the middle of the
glass tray on the 1
st
level runner from
the bottom. Be sure that the pan
does not touch the walls.
The baking time is shortened.
^
Set the microwave to "LO" for the
entire duration of baking.
