You might be successful in pre-heating your oven if you are not doing 
that now.

I set mine to "bake" at 250F and let it preheat for a minimum of 15 
minutes.  At that point, all the cold sheet metal is heated up and that 
allows the ramp up to proceed apace.

Only then do I put in the boards and set the controls to "broil" which 
turns off the lower element and turns on the overhead element.  At this 
point, I start a 3 minute stopwatch.  Depending on the size and quantity 
of boards, the solder usually melts between 1:30 and 2:30 into the run. 
  After I see all the paste shiny, I turn off the power and after 30 
secs more, I open the door to cool.
