Setting PowerPlus™ Preheat
The PowerPlus™ Preheat feature uses the convection fan
to quickly bring the oven up to the set temperature. Use
powerplus preheat for single rack items only and place food
in center of oven.
Important: When baking delicate items like cakes and
cookies use the convection bake mode.
To set powerplus preheat:
1. Turn the oven mode selector to POWERPLUS
PREHEAT. The oven mode light will turn on.
2. Turn the oven temperature selector to the desired
temperature. The convection fan will turn on and remain
on as a convection bake. Once the set temperature is
reached the control will chime alerting the user that the
oven is preheated.
3. When finished baking, turn both oven selectors to the
OFF position.

Baking tips
For best bake results:
•
Fully preheat the oven before baking.
•
For batter and dough-based baked goods such as
cookies, cakes, pastries, and breads, use the convec-
tion function for best results.
•
When using any single rack, position the rack so that
the food is in the center of the oven.
•
For best results when baking cakes using two oven
racks, place flat rack in position 5 and the glide rack in
position 1. (See
Figure
•
When using two oven racks, position cookware as
shown in
Figure
15. Allow at least 2-4 inches (5-10 cm)
of space between cookware for proper air circulation.
•
Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny
bakeware. It may be necessary to reduce oven temper-
ature and cook time to prevent overbrowning of some
foods. Dark bakeware is recommended for pies. Shiny
bakeware is recommended for cakes, cookies, and
muffins.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Figure 14: Rack positions
Use the Bake function whenever a recipe calls for baking
using normal temperatures. When the set bake temperature
is reached the control will sound a chime to alert that the
oven is fully preheated. The convection fan will be on during
preheat and then turn off and on occasionally as needed.
Bake may be set for any temperature between 170°F
(77°C) and 550°F (288°C).
To set a bake for 350°F:
1. Be sure to arrange racks to the desired positions for the
item(s) to be baked.
2. Turn the oven mode selector to the BAKE position.
3. Turn the oven temperature selector to 350°F.
4. The PREHEAT and the oven temperature light will turn
on and sound an acceptance tone. The oven will begin
heating.
5. When the set temperature is reached the PREHEAT
light will turn off and a reminder chime will sound
alerting you to place food in oven. Set either timer to
keep track of actual cooking time if necessary.
6. When finished baking, be sure to return both the
temperature selector knob and the oven mode knob to
the OFF positions.
Note: Do not open the oven door often. Doing so will
reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase the
cooking time necessary for best results.
