Oven baking

For best cooking results, heat the oven before baking cookies, breads, cakes, pies or pastries, etc. There is no need to

preheat the oven for roasting meat or baking casseroles.
The cooking times and temperatures needed to bake a product may vary slightly from your previously owned

appliance.
