Long Pre-Heat - Wall Oven

How long does it take the oven to preheat?

There are several factors that can influence whether your oven or range is taking a long time to pre-heat. An oven will normally preheat in 12-15 minutes (+/-). Ovens with all racks in will take a little longer. Insert food when the preheat tone sounds for best cooking results.

Factors that cause longer preheat times: 

• Unused racks left in the oven will add to the preheat time. Remove any racks not being used for oven operation.
• For optimal performance, place food in the oven as soon after the signal as possible. Avoid leaving the door open for an extended period.
• Newer range/ovens have larger oven cavities than past models, which may take longer to preheat.
• A hidden bake element provides a buffered heat and will take longer to preheat than an exposed bake element.
• A range/oven installed at a lower voltage, 208V, will take longer to preheat than one installed at 240V. Oven performance will not be affected once the set temperature is reached.   
• Low/cold room temperature will cause longer preheat times.

Using Rapid Pre-Heat Feature

Select ovens feature a faster preheat option that preheats the oven faster, saving time and energy. Using all of the oven elements and a fan, the oven heats up more quickly and creates the ideal temperature for single-rack baking.
