I got a new stove and all is well with it. However, I decided to check the oven temp when the beeper sounded. 350F. I was surprised that, according to my digital thermometer, the oven isn't 350F but 385F+ when the beeper sounded. Nothing in the oven. The dial thermometer was still barely at 300F. After 30 minutes or so, both the digital and dial thermometer were spot on at 350F.
It must be intentional that when the beeper beeps, the oven is way past 350F (which it was) so as to compensate placing in the food (frozen french fries for instance). Therefore it may not be necessary to wait minutes more when the oven beeper says the oven is at the set temp and ready for whatever is to be cooked at 350F. However, it's probably more prudent to wait the longer time before cooking/baking some items, I imagine.
