Setting Oven Controls
Setting Preheat
The Preheat pad controls the Preheat feature. The Preheat feature will bring the oven up to temperature and then indicate when to place the food in the oven. Use this feature when recipes call for preheating. Preheating is not necessary when roasting or cooking casseroles. The oven can be programmed to preheat at any temperature between 170°F to 550°F.
The following temperature settings apply to the preheat feature:
•
•Min. bake setting: 170°F / 77°C.
•Max. bake setting: 550°F / 288°C.
To set the Preheat
See example below to set a preheat to start immediately at 375°.
1.Arrange the interior oven racks.
2.Press Preheat.
3.Press 3, 7, 5.
4.Press Start.
To change Preheat temperature while oven is preheating
See example below to change from 375° to 425°.
1.Press Preheat. “375”.
2.Press 4, 2, 5.
3.Press Start.
“PRE” and the actual oven temperature shown in the display will alternate as the oven heats and reaches 375°F.
When the oven is finished preheating, the controls will beep and the “PRE” light will turn off and oven temperature will be displayed. If you missed hearing the beep, you can tell that the oven has reached preheat temperature if you see the oven temperature showing in the oven display. Once the oven has preheated, PLACE FOOD IN THE OVEN. The “BAKE” light will stay on.
Note
•To cancel the function, press Stop at any time when setting the control or during the cooking process.
•During the preheating, the convection fan will be activated to allow the oven to reach its target temperature faster. The Bake, Broil and Convection elements will also cycle for a better heat distribution.
