Operating Your Oven – The Basics

Before You Cook

If you have not used the oven for an extended period of time, the display will go to “sleep”. When the display is sleeping, it is not lit. To wake the display (make it reappear), press 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.

Quick Start Guide

The four most commonly used modes are on the home screen for instant access.
