Using The Oven; Oven Characteristics; Oven Vent; Preheating - Kenmore 30-inch electric wall ovens Owner's Manual

Because each oven has its own personal baking
characteristics, do not expect that your new oven will
perform exactly like your previous oven. You may find that
the cooking times, oven temperatures, and cooking results
differ somewhat from your previous range. Allow a period of
adjustment. If you have questions concerning baking
results, please refer to pages 6, 7, 9, 10 and 19 for additional
information.
The oven vent is located between the oven door and the
control panel. When the oven is in use, this area may feel
warm or hotto the touch. To prevent baking problems, do not
block the vent opening.

Preheating is necessary for baking. To preheat, set the oven
to the desired temperature and allow about 10 to 15 minutes
for the oven to preheat. A single beep will indicate that the
oven is preheated. It is not necessary to preheat for roasting.
Selecting a temperature higher than desired will NOT
preheat the oven any faster, and may have a negative
effect on baking results.
