Two-Element Baking/ Convection Baking Preheating Preheating the oven is not necessary when using temperatures below 250°F. For best results, it is extremely important that you preheat the oven when baking cakes and other items that have critical baking temperatures. After the temperature control has been set, the Oven Indicator light goes out when the oven reaches that temperature.
