5. Press START/ENTER.
A preheat conditioning time counts down
the approximate preheat time after the oven
temperature has been set and START has been
pressed. The oven control automatically sets
preheating times based on the oven
temperature you select:
For 245°F and less, the preheating time is
4 minutes.
For 250°F-445°F, the preheating time is
10 minutes.
For above 450°F, the preheating time is
15 minutes.
As the preheat conditioning ends, the selected
oven temperature replaces “PrE” on the display
and the time of day reappears. You will hear a
1-second tone, indicating the oven is ready to use.
The ACCUBAKE
®
system electronically regulates
the preheat time and temperature to maintain a
precise temperature range for the best cooking
results. The preheat and set temperatures may
be different at the end of the countdown. This is
normal.
NOTES:
When the oven temperature is greater than
170°F, no preheating time will be shown on the
display.
You can change the temperature setting any
time after pressing START/ENTER. You do not
have to press START/ENTER again.
6. When baking, put your food in the oven after the
preheat conditioning
time ends. During
baking/roasting, the
oven burner will turn on
and off to keep the
oven temperature at
the setting.
7. After cooking, turn off the oven.

The preheating time will not change if you reset
the temperature before the countdown time ends.
If you are baking/roasting while the minute timer
is counting down, you can see the set baking/
roasting temperature for 5 seconds by pressing
BAKE.
Saving energy
To avoid loss of heat, open the oven door as little
as possible.
Use a timer to keep track of cooking time.
Plan your meals for the most efficient use of the
oven by cooking more than one food at a time, or
baking while the oven is still hot after cooking a
meal.
