GENERAL

PREHEATING THE OVEN
•
Preheat the oven when using the Bake, Convection Bake and Convection Roast
modes.
•
Selecting a higher temperature does not shorten the preheat time.
•
Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and
breads.
•
Preheating will help to sear roasts and seal in meat juices.
•
Place oven racks in their proper position before preheating.
•
During preheating, the selected cooking temperature is always displayed.
•
A beep will confirm that the oven is preheated and the “PREHEAT” writing will
turn off.
OPERATIONAL SUGGESTIONS
•
Use the cooking charts, in this manual, as a guide.
•
Do not set pans on the open oven door.
•
Use the interior oven lights to view the food through the oven door window
rather than opening the door frequently.
