■For best cooking results, do not cover entire rack with foil because air must be able to move freely.

Preheating
The time the oven takes to preheat will vary according to the set temperature. It will also vary according to the existing oven cavity temperature, which is measured by the oven cavity sensor. It is normal for the temperature showing on the display and the actual oven temperature to differ.
After a temperature is set and ENTER is pressed, the oven begins to preheat once the door is closed. The display will alternate between “PrE” and actual temperature as the oven preheats. When the set temperature is reached, a tone will sound. If the oven timer has been set, the oven time will begin to count down.
Limit opening the oven door while the oven is preheating as this will prolong the preheating cycle.
ChangingOven TimerorTemperature
Time and temperature can be changed during the cooking cycles.
