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 preheat, 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 differ-
ent 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.
