WARNING
Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line
any part of the appliance, especially the oven
bottom. Installing these liners may result in risk of
electric shock or fire.
Preheating the Oven
Place oven racks in desired position before heating
the oven.
Preheat the oven when using the Bake, Convection
Bake, True Convection, Pizza, Broil, Convection Broil,
Steam Convection, Steam, Reheat, Defrost and Warm
modes.
Preheat is not required for Speed Convection, Roast,
Convection Roast, Proof, and Dehydrate modes.
Allow oven to preheat while preparing recipe
ingredients or food items.
Setting a higher temperature does not shorten preheat
time.
Once oven is preheated, open the oven door and
place food in the oven as quickly as possible to
minimize the loss of heat and reduction of oven
temperature.
Use Fast Preheat to speed up preheating.
Preheat Reminders
The lower element is hidden under the oven bottom. It is
normal that the preheat time is different than your
previous oven that had an exposed element on the
bottom.
Preheating is not necessary for meats, poultry,
casseroles and Speed Convection mode.
Preheat time will be longer when the electrical supply
to your house is less than 240 volts.
Increasing the oven temperature will require a longer
preheat time. For example, the preheat time for 425° F
is longer than the preheat time for 350° F.
When broiling, preheat the oven 3-4 minutes. Do not
preheat for more than 5 minutes.
For Best Results
Use the cooking recommendation charts which can be
found in the
Cooking Charts
Use and Care Guide
.
Open the door as briefly as possible to avoid
temperature reduction.
Use the interior oven light to view the food through the
oven window rather than opening the door frequently.
Use the timer to keep track of cooking times.
