5. Press START/ENTER.
A preheat conditioning time counts down the
approximate preheat time after the oven
temperature has been set and START/ENTER 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
2 minutes, 30 seconds.
For 250°F-445°F, the preheating time is
4 minutes, 15 seconds.
For above 450°F, the preheating time is
6 minutes, 30 seconds.
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.
NOTE: You can change the temperature setting
any time after pressing START/ENTER. You do
not have to press START/ENTER again. The
preheat time will not change if you reset the
temperature before the countdown time ends.

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.
