Oven Vent(s)
The oven vent(s) should not be blocked or covered since they
allow the inlet of fresh air into the cooling system. Also, the bottom
vent should not be blocked or covered since it allows the inlet of
fresh air into the cooling system and the outlet of hot air from the
cooling system. Blocking or covering vents will cause poor air
circulation, affecting cooking, cleaning, and cooling results.

Preheating and Oven Temperature
Preheating
When beginning a Bake cycle, the oven will begin preheating
after Start is pressed. The oven will take approximately 12 to 17
minutes to reach 350°F (177°C) with all of the oven racks provided
with your oven inside the oven cavity. Higher temperatures will
take longer to preheat. The preheat cycle rapidly increases the
oven temperature. The actual oven temperature will go above your
set temperature to offset the heat lost when your oven door is
opened to insert food. This ensures that when you place your food
in the oven, the oven, will begin at the proper temperature. Insert
your food when the preheat tone sounds. Do not open the door
during preheat before the tone sounds.
Rapid Preheat
Rapid Preheat can be used to shorten the preheating time. Only
one standard flat oven rack should be in the oven during Rapid
Preheat. Extra racks should be removed prior to starting. The
preheating cycle should be completed before placing food in the
oven. When the Rapid Preheat cycle is complete, the oven starts
a normal Bake cycle.
IMPORTANT: Rapid Preheat should be used only for one-rack
baking.
Oven Temperature
While in use, the oven elements will cycle on and off as needed
to maintain a consistent temperature, but they may run slightly
hot or cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Opening the
oven door while in use will release the hot air and cool the oven
which could impact the cooking time and performance. It is
recommended to use the oven light to monitor cooking progress.
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting,
it is not necessary to wait for the oven preheat cycle to end
before putting food in unless it is recommended in the recipe.
