PREHEATING
Preheating the oven is not essential, but doing so will produce better results. Some foods,
particularly cakes and pastries, are better cooked in a preheated oven. Other foods, such as
casseroles, cook just as well in a non-preheated oven, but may need longer cooking times.
For faster preheating, select Pizza Mode and the required temperature, and once the oven has
reached the required level, change to the desired cooking mode/function.
To preheat the oven:
1- Set the mode required for preheating.
2-
Set the oven to the desired temperature.

NOTE:
Any food or other cooking utensils placed in the oven during preheating will affect the preheating

WARNING
When using an alternative cooking mode (such as Pizza Mode) for a faster preheat, be sure to
turn the cooking mode to your required setting before placing food in the oven.
