SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Quick Preheat
Quick Preheat is available for single rack baking with
packaged convenience foods and foods made from scratch
and can be programmed for temperatures between 170°F
and 550°F. Follow the recipe or package directions for food
preparation time and temperature. When quick preheat is
complete, a reminder tone will sound and food should be
placed in the oven.
During quick preheat function, the bake element will cycle
on and off. The convection fan will turn on while the oven is
preheating and cycle on and off as needed during cooking.
Depending on your preference for doneness cooking times
may vary. Watch food closely.
Important:
• Always place food in center of the oven on rack position
2 Glide or 3 flat rack (
Figure 12). Place the food as
shown in Figure 11.
• For best results when baking batter and dough-based
items such as cookies and pastries, use convection
bake function and place food in oven when the reminder
tone sounds signaling the oven is fully preheated.
• Food may need to be removed early and should be
checked at minimum recommended bake time.
To set the preheat temperature for 350°F:
1. Arrange the interior oven racks.
2. Press Quick Preheat. 350 will appear in the display.
3. Press OK/START.
4. 350 and PREHEAT will be displayed while the oven is
preheating and disappear once oven reaches set
temperature.
5. Press OFF when baking is complete or to cancel the
preheat feature.
To change preheat temperature while oven is preheating
(ex: changing from 350°F to 425°F):
1. Press Quick Preheat. 350 will appear in the display.
2. Enter the new preheat temperature. Press 4 2 5.
3. Press OK/START. 425 will show in the display.
4. When baking is complete, press OFF.
Note: The oven is equipped with a cooling fan that turns on
when the oven reaches a high enough temperature and will
remain on until the oven cavity has cooled. The cooling fans
may remain on for a time after the oven function has been
canceled. This is normal.
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.
