Operating Your Oven - The Basics Before You Cook • When the oven is not in use and none of the keys on the control panel have been touched for about five minutes, the display will go to "sleep." When the display is sleeping, it is not lit. To wake the display (make it reappear), touch one of the keys on the control panel or open the oven door. • When you use your oven to bake or roast, it preheats automatically. The preheat cycle rapidly brings the oven chamber up to the proper cooking temperature. It usually takes 7 to 14 minutes to preheat the oven, depending on the temperature settings. Pre-heat times may be longer depending on the type of electrical supply in your community. There is no preheat cycle for any of the broil modes. • After you pull food out of the oven, it will continue to cook. This is called carry-over. The larger the portion of food, the longer it will carry-over. It is best to let the meat rest after it comes out of the oven for 10 to 15 minutes before carving. Doing so will allow the meat to retain its juices and make it easier to carve. Standard Racks warning Rearrange the oven racks only when the oven is cool. How to Insert Standard Oven Racks • Insert the end of the rack with the safety notches into the oven first. • Attach both sides of the rack to the rack supports in the oven as shown in the diagram below. • Begin to slide the rack in, and then, lift up so that the safety notches clear the ends of the rack supports.
