in place whenever the oven is in use. The oven light will not
operate during a self clean cycle.

AccelaHeat
TM
Use the AccelaHeat feature whenever you wish to start
baking immediately, without the need for preheating. This
feature provides good results when preparing convenience
foods, such as cinnamon rolls, frozen pizza, bacon, french fries,
and tater tots. Food will finish baking in the time stated in the
cooking directions without the additional time ordinarily
required for preheating. During AccelaHeat™, the fan will pulse
on and off, and the bake element will cycle on and off to
maintain the set temperature for precise baking.
Bake may be set for any oven temperature between 200°F
(93°C) to 550°F (288°C).
To set AccelaHeat™:
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using
the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven racks, and
cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.
1. Remove food from packaging and arrange on a baking
pan.
2. Place pan in oven on rack position 3
oven door. AccelaHeat™ is designed for baking on a single
oven rack placed in the center of the oven.

3. Turn the oven mode selector to the AccelaHeat™ position.
4. Turn the oven temperature selector to the desired tempera-
ture. Baking will immediately begin.
5. To stop baking turn oven mode knob to OFF. Also return
temperature selector knob to the OFF position.
AccelaHeat™ best practices:
• Always place the food in the oven on rack position 3.
AccelaHeat™ is designed for baking on a single oven rack,
placed in the center of the oven.
• When using AccelaHeat™, use bakeware with low or no
sides. This allows the air to circulate around the food evenly.
• Food that comes in strips, such as fish sticks and chicken
tenders, should be placed on the pan with the ends pointing
to the sides of the oven.
• Follow the package directions for food preparation time
and temperature. AccelaHeat™ works best when cooking
foods longer than 10 minutes. If directions call for a shorter
cooking time, a few extra minutes may be required for
optimal cooking results.
• Do not open the oven door often. Opening the door will
reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase bake
time.
