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 heat, bake, and on indicator lights
will light up. The oven control automatically
sets preheating times based on the oven
temperature you select:
For 245°F and less, the preheating time is
3 minutes.
For 250°F-445°F, the preheating time is
6 minutes.
For 450°F and above, the preheating time is
10 minutes.
The oven is preheated and ready to use when
you hear a 1-second tone, the countdown is
finished, and the set temperature is displayed.
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 preheat conditioning time will be
shown in the display.
You can change the temperature setting any
time after pressing START/ENTER. You do not
have to press START/ENTER again.
The preheat conditioning time will not change
if you reset the temperature before the count-
down 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.

Roasting meats and poultry
For even cooking, place the meat on a rack in
a shallow pan. This keeps the meat out of the
drippings and allows the heat to circulate
better.
Use a meat thermometer for the most accu-
rate doneness. Insert it so the tip is in the
center of the largest muscle or thickest
portion of the meat or poultry. Make sure the
thermometer is not touching bone, fat, or the
bottom of the pan.
