Preheating
In most cases, you should preheat the
oven before baking. After range control
is set oven temperature will begin to rise
until desired cooking temperature is
reached. When cooking temperature is
reached oven signal beeps for
approximately 1 second. For delicate
baking, preheat approximately 1520
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 temperature can be set from 170°F
to 550°F in 5° increments. Temperature
starts at 100°F and increases in 5°
increments until reaching the set
temperature. Some minor smoking is
normal when using oven for first time.
Broiling

reflector. This reflector focuses heat directly on the food; searing in natural
juices and providing restaurant quality, charbroiled flavor.
