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 convection fan will turn on after 6 minutes and remain on as a convection bake. The control will chime once the oven is preheated. 3. When finished baking turn both oven selectors to the OFF position. Setting Bake 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 6 (offset rack) and 1 (Glide rack) Figure 14. • When baking using two oven racks, position cookware as shown in Figure 15. Allow at least 2 inches (5 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 temperature 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 regular bake function for best results. For cookies use the convection bake function. OVEN CONTROLS . 6 5 4 3 2 1 Figure 14: Rack positions Figure 15: Pan spacing Use the bake function whenever a recipe calls for normal baking. 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 BAKE for oven temperature of 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 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 oven door too often. Doing so reduces oven temperature and may extend cooking time.The convection fan will start after the oven has been heating for 6 minutes. It will stop each time the oven door is opened. 17
