BAKE FUNCTION
The BAKE function cooks food evenly
throughout. This function is ideal for baking
cakes, muffins, brownies and pastries. The
BAKE function is also ideal for cooking
pre-packaged frozen meals such as lasagna
and pot pies.
1. Insert the wire rack, with the spokes facing
upward, into the bottom rack height
position. Note that some baked goods, such
as brownies or pastries, may be more suited
to the middle rack height position.
2. Close the oven door.
3. Turn the FUNCTION dial until the
indicator on the LCD screen reaches the
BAKE function. The top figure on the
LCD screen indicates the preset BAKE
temperature of '325°F', while the bottom
figure indicates the preset time of
':30 MINS'. The preset CONVECTION
setting will also be displayed.
4. The baking temperature and time can be
adjusted before or during the baking cycle.
a) The baking temperature is displayed as
the top figure on the LCD screen. Turn
the TEMPERATURE dial to adjust the
baking temperature from 120°F/50°C to a
maximum of 450°F/230°C.
b) The baking time is displayed as the bottom
figure on the LCD screen. Turn the TIME
dial to select up to 2 hours for temperatures
above 300°F/150°C and up to 10 hours for
temperatures below 300°F/150°F.

temperature, the temperature alert
will sound.
7. Place food, positioned on the included
baking pan or other oven-proof dish, on
the center of the wire rack so air will flow
around all sides of the food.

the timer will automatically begin to count
down. The temperature and time can be
adjusted during the baking cycle by turning
the corresponding TEMPERATURE and
TIME dial. The cycle can be stopped at
