Using the Oven Control (contd)
Preheating
In most cases, you should preheat the
oven before baking. After the range
control is set, the oven temperature
will begin to rise until the desired
cooking temperature is reached.
When cooking temperature is reached
oven signal beeps. For delicate
baking, preheat approximately 15–20
minutes before placing food inside
oven or wait 10 minutes after oven
signal beeps before placing food in
oven. The extra time creates a more
stable oven temperature.
How High or Low Can I
Set the Temperature?
Oven bake temperature can be set from
170°F to 550°F . Some minor smoking is
normal when using oven for first time.
WARNING
