Oven Vent(s)

The oven vent(s) should not be blocked or covered since they 

allow the inlet of fresh air into the cooling system. Also, the 

bottom vent should not be blocked or covered since it allows the 

inlet of fresh air into the cooling system and the outlet of hot air 

from the cooling system. Blocking or covering vents will cause 

poor air circulation, affecting cooking, cleaning, and cooling 

results.

Preheating and Oven Temperature

Preheating

When beginning a Bake cycle, the oven will begin preheating 

after Start is pressed. The oven will take approximately 6 minutes 

to reach 350°F (177°C) with all of the oven racks provided with 

your oven inside the oven cavity. Higher temperatures will take 

longer to preheat. The preheat cycle rapidly increases the oven 

temperature. The actual oven temperature will go above your 

set temperature to offset the heat lost when your oven door is 

opened to insert food. This ensures that when you place your 

food in the oven, the oven, will begin at the proper temperature. 

Insert your food when the preheat tone sounds. Do not open the 

door during preheat before the tone sounds.

Rapid Preheat

Rapid Preheat can be used to shorten the preheating time. Only 

one standard flat oven rack should be in the oven during Rapid 

Preheat. Extra racks should be removed prior to starting. The 

preheating cycle should be completed before placing food in the 

oven. When the Rapid Preheat cycle is complete, the oven starts 

a normal Bake cycle.

IMPORTANT:

 Rapid Preheat should be used only for one-rack 

baking.

Oven Temperature

While in use, the oven elements will cycle on and off as needed 

to maintain a consistent temperature, but they may run slightly 

hot or cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Opening the 

oven door while in use will release the hot air and cool the oven 

which could impact the cooking time and performance. It is 

recommended to use the oven light to monitor cooking progress.
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the 

“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is 

not necessary to wait for the oven preheat cycle to end before 

putting food in unless it is recommended in the recipe.

Baking and Roasting

The oven will take approximately 6 minutes to reach              

350°F (177°C) with all oven racks inside the oven cavity. The 

preheat cycle rapidly increases the temperature inside the 

oven cavity. Higher temperatures will take longer to preheat. 

Factors that impact preheat times include room temperature, 

oven temperature, and the number of racks. Unused oven racks 

can be removed prior to preheating your oven to help reduce 

preheat time. The actual oven temperature will go above the set 

temperature to offset the heat lost when the oven door is opened 

to insert food. This ensures that the oven will begin at the proper 

temperature when you place food in the oven. Insert food when 

the preheat tone sounds. Do not open the door during preheat 

until the tone sounds.
During baking or roasting, the bake and broil elements will cycle 

on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature.
Depending on the model, if the oven door is opened during 

baking or roasting, the heating elements (bake and broil) will turn 

off approximately 30 seconds after the door is opened. They will 

turn on again approximately 30 seconds after the door is closed.

Broiling

When broiling, no preheating is necessary unless recommended 

otherwise in the recipe. Position food on grid above the drip tray, 

and then place it in the center of the oven rack. Close the oven 

door to ensure proper broiling temperature.

NOTE:

 Odors and smoke are normal the first few times the oven 

is used or if the oven is heavily soiled.
Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise 

control when cooking. The lower the broil setting, the slower the 

cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish 

and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Refer to the 

“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section for more information.
On lower settings, the broil element will cycle on and off to 

maintain the proper temperature.
