Does bake function on this range use the broil element after preheat in a limited manner?

Only during preheat as far as I know. Electric ovens will cycle the bake and broil elements during preheat to speed up the process. The broil element should not get red hot during oven preheat, only during BROIL. If it's getting red hot during BAKE preheat then you have an issue.

Thanks for your help!

During Broil the broil element will get completely bright red.

After preheat in the Bake function the broil element will partially get a dull red. Is that a malfunction or is it to possibly lightly brown the top of whatever is being baked?

I'm sorry, I was not able to "mark as solution" since I was left with a bit of uncertainty by the statement "as far as I know" and by the lack of a response to the follow up question. Although, I am thankful to MrApplianceMatt for his honest effort!
