Solving Baking Problems
With either Bake or Convection Bake, poor results can occur for many reasons other than a malfunction of the
oven Check the chart below for causes of the most common problems Since the size, shape and material of
baking utensils directly affect the baking results, the best solution may be to replace old baking utensils that have
darkened and warped with age and use Check the Baking Charts on Pages 17 and 19 for the correct rack
position and baking time
