PREHEATING
Preheating is generally desirable, although not absolutely necessary in all
circumstances.
CAUTION
MEAT THERMOMETER (TEMPERATURE PROBE)
BURN HAZARD
• Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies,
pastry and breads.
• Preheating will help to sear roasts and seal in meat juices.
• Place oven racks in their proper position before preheating.
• Selecting a higher temperature does not shorten the preheat time.
• A beep will sound to confirm that the oven is preheated.
• Use an oven mitt to remove temperature probe.
• Do not touch broil element.
• Failure to do so can result in burns.
The temperature probe monitors the internal food temperature, which is
frequently used as an indicator of doneness especially for meats and poultry,
and turns off the oven when the internal food temperature reaches the
programmed temperature.
The temperature probe will work with all oven modes except for the
Warm/Proof, Sabbath, and Self-Clean modes.
IMPORTANT: Always unplug and remove the temperature probe from the
oven when removing the food.
