Range Preheat Cycle

When your oven is pre-heating, the bake and broil element will cycle on and off. The oven will use the bake element, the broil element and in some models also the convection element. In ovens with the convection feature, the convection fan will come on during preheat in the conventional cycle also, but will go off when the oven reaches temperature.

This sequence will continue until your oven reaches the set temperature.
