• Activate the menu by pressing the Start/Stop key.
• If the oven is not at operating temperature, it will preheat. Meanwhile:
The word [pre-`] [`Heat] will appear on the display for a few moments. The
Start/Stop key indicator light will flash slowly. The temperature of Channel 1 will
be displayed until the operating temperature is reached.
The heat output indicator light - G, just below the display- will light up whenever
the controller is calling for heat.
When the oven is at operating temperature (above the relative set point minus the
ready band) [ready] will appear on the display and the Start/Stop key indicator
light will flash rapidly. You are now ready to cook with the active menu.
• If the oven is at operating temperature, the display goes directly to [ready] with-
out indicating preheat or temperature.
Note: You can skip preheat and go directly to the cooking sequence by pressing the Start/Stop key a second time.
Run a Menu (when preheat feature is active)
This procedure describes how to run an active menu when the preheat feature is active

Note: You can skip preheat and go directly to the cooking sequence by pressing the Start/Stop key a second time.
If the oven is already at operating temperature [ready] will appear on the display.
3. With [ready] on the display, place the food in the oven. Then press the Start/Stop
