Preheating your Countertop Oven is important for consistent and even results. Once you select your desired cooking mode and any other settings, and press START, Even-Heat™ Preheat saturates the oven walls and cooking racks above the oven’s set temperature to remove cold spots that draw heat away from food. This also helps the oven stay at the desired temperature when the door is opened for short periods of time.

During preheating, the light ring around the Start/Cancel button will be on, and the Preheat indicator will show on the LCD. Once the oven has reached the set temperature, a tone will sound to let you know you can insert food and begin cooking. Preheating is NOT necessary in all cooking modes.
