Setting OVEN controls To Set or Change the Temperature for Baking CAUTION Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven exterior, oven racks, and cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns. CAUTION Do not bake food directly on the oven bottom. To avoid damaging the oven interior and surfaces, always bake food in the oven using bakeware positioned on an oven rack. The oven can be programmed to bake at any temperature from 170°F to 500°F. To Set the Controls for Baking: 1. Press bake pad. "- - -°" appears in the display. 2. Within 5 seconds, press the or pad. The display will show "350°F." By pressing and holding the or pad, the temperature can then be adjusted in 5°F increments. 3. When the or pad is released, the oven will begin heating to the selected temperature. When the displayed temperature reaches the desired baking temperature, the control will beep once (1 time). Insert food when oven is preheated. 4. To cancel the baking function, press clear off pad. For best baking results • Fully preheat oven before baking items like cookies, cakes, biscuits, or breads. • For best results when baking using one flat oven rack, place bakeware on oven position 4 and place pans as shown below. • For best results when baking using two flat oven racks, place bakeware on oven positions 2 and 4 and place pans as shown below. • Do not open oven door too often. Opening the door will reduce the temperature in the oven. • Dark or dull pans and glass absorb more heat than shiny bakeware resulting in dark or over browning of foods. To prevent this, it may be necessary to reduce oven temperature or cook time to prevent over browning of some foods. Dark pans are recommended for pies. Shiny pans are recommended for cakes, cookies, and muffins. To Change the Oven Temperature after Baking has Started: 1. Press bake pad and make sure the bake temperature is displayed. 2. Press the or pad to increase or decrease the set temperature. 9
