Operation

The bake element is crucial for the oven's baking function, providing heat from the bottom of the oven cavity. Once correctly installed, the element will heat up when the oven is set to a baking temperature, ensuring consistent and powerful heat for cooking. The square/omega structure of this element is designed to distribute heat evenly across the baking tray, contributing to optimal cooking results.
