SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

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 regular bake or 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 oven temperature light will blink and

an acceptance chime will sound. The convection fan will

turn on and remain on as a convection bake. The

preheat light will stay on until preheating is finished.

Once the set temperature is reached the control will

chime alerting the user that the oven is preheated.

3.

Baking tips

For best bake results:

•

Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,

cakes, biscuits, and breads. When using any single

rack, position the rack so that the food is in the center of

the oven.

•

The convection fan will be on during preheat and then

turn off and on occasionally as needed.

•

For best results when baking cakes using two oven

racks, place racks in positions 3 with offset rack and 5

using flat rack (See

Figure 12

).

•

When using two oven racks, position cookware as

shown in

Figure 13

. 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.

Important:

For batter and dough-based baked goods such

as cakes, pastries, and breads, use the convection function

for best results.

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.

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.
