PREHEATING
Preheating is generally desirable, although not absolutely necessary in all
circumstances.
• For oven modes that utilizes preheat, the control will automatically enter
preheat mode and show "100°F" after START/OK is pressed to turn on the
oven.
- When the oven temperature reaches 100°F, the display will show the
current oven temperature, and will continue to show the oven
temperature increasing until the set temperature is reached.
- Once the set temperature is reached, a tone will sound to alert the
user that preheat is complete.
• For oven modes that do not utilizes preheat (Broil and Warm), the control
will show the set temperature after START/OK is pressed to turn on the
oven.
NOTE:
• It is normal for the convection fan to operate during preheating of
various baking modes.
Some foods are more robust and may have acceptable results without
preheating. These foods include large pieces of meat (whole roasts, hams, or
poultry) where the total cooking time is much longer than the time required to
preheat. These foods also include frozen potato products and frozen
processed dinners that, by their nature and design, are more robust to baking
variations. More delicate foods, such breads (including cakes, cookies,
pastries, and pizzas), desserts, soufflés, etc. will likely not have acceptable
results without proper preheating.
