Preheat:

This Preheat mode will bring the oven up to temperature
and then beep to let you know when to add your food.
Preheating the oven is recommended when baking breads
and cakes. Use this mode when recipes call for preheat-
ing. Preheating the oven allows the center of the oven
temperature to reach maximum performance by turning
on the broil burner first for top heat and then switching to
the bake burner before food is added. It is not necessary
when roasting or cooking casseroles. The oven can be
programmed to preheat at any temperature from 170°F
to 550°F.
To Set the Preheat Temperature to 350°F:
1. Arrange oven racks.
2. Press Preheat. "—°" and "BAKE" will show in the
display.
3. Press the numbers to set the desired temperature
for preheating. The set temperature and "BAKE"
will show in the display.
4. Press Start . "PRE" and "BAKE" will show in the
display as the oven heats and reaches the set
temperature.
Note: After the oven has reached the desired temperature
the control will beep and the "PRE" light will turn off and
the oven temperature will be dislpayed. If the beep was
missed, a quick glance at the display with the "PRE"
missing in the oven display and the oven temperature
shown in its place is a good way to check that the oven
has reached the preheat temperature. Once the oven
has preheated, PLACE FOOD IN THE OVEN. The
"BAKE" light will stay on.
Press Clear Off when baking is complete or to cancel
preheat.

temperature and "BAKE" will show in the display.

temperature.

cooking cured or frozen meats and most fruits and
vegetables. Foods that can easily spoil such as milk,
eggs, fish, meat or poultry, should be chilled in the
refrigerator first. Even when chilled, they should not stand
in the oven for more than 1 hour before cooking begins,
and should be removed promptly when cooking is
completed. Eating spoiled food can result in sickness
from food poisoning.
