When roasting, put your food in the oven.
You do not have to preheat the oven when
roasting, unless your recipe recommends it.
Roasting meats and poultry
•
For even cooking, place the meat on a rack in
a shallow pan. This keeps the meat out of the
drippings and allows the heat to circulate
better.
•
Use a meat thermometer for the most accu-
rate doneness. Insert it so the tip is in the
center of the largest muscle or thickest
portion of the meat or poultry. Make sure the
thermometer is not touching bone, fat, or the
bottom of the pan.
5. Press START/ENTER.
A preheat conditioning time counts down the
approximate preheat time after the oven tempera-
ture has been set and START has been pressed.
The heat, bake, and on indicator lights will light up.
The oven control automatically sets preheating
times based on the oven temperature you select:
•
For 245°F and less, the preheating time is
3 minutes.
•
For 250°F-445°F, the preheating time is
6 minutes.
•
For above 450°F, the preheating time is
10 minutes.
The oven is preheated and ready to use when you
hear a 1-second tone, the on indicator light goes
off, the countdown is finished, and the set
temperature is displayed.
The preheat and set temperatures may be different
at the end of the countdown. This is normal.
NOTES:
•
When the oven temperature is greater than 170°F,
no preheat conditioning time will be shown in the
display.
•
You can change the temperature setting any time
after pressing START/ENTER. You do not have to
press START/ENTER again.
•
The preheat conditioning time will not change if
you reset the temperature before the countdown
time ends.
•
If you are baking/roasting while the minute timer
is counting down, you can see the set
baking/roasting temperature for 5 seconds by
pressing BAKE.
