We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. [. . . ] Times are guidelines only and may need to be adjusted for individual foods and tastes. Preheating After Start is pressed, the oven will enter a timed preheat cycle. The Electronic Oven Control automatically selects the preheat cycle time based on the oven temperature selected. The cycle time will not change if the temperature is reset before the cycle countdown ends. Preheat is complete and the oven is ready to use when a 1-second tone sounds, the cycle countdown ends, and the set temperature is displayed. Preheat temperatures are affected by varying factors such as room temperature and peak energy usage times. It is normal for the temperature showing on the display and the actual oven temperature to differ. Waiting an additional 10 minutes after the preheat time ends to put food in the oven is suggested when baking foods with leavening ingredients, such as yeast, baking powder, baking soda and eggs.
