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. When finished baking turn both oven selectors to the 
OFF position.

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 
).
When using two oven racks, position cookware as 
shown in 
. 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.
