I needed the oven at 450 tonight and timed it. Seven minutes and
after about three i checked and yes the upper element was deployed as
well. I wonder if perhaps the upper element in yours does not come on
and that's why it takes so long? Might be worth investigating if so,
might be a simple fix.

No, it doesn't come on, but it's not supposed to come on. The manual said
it's normal for it to take between 15-20 minutes to come to temp with the
sealed element. Thanks for the suggestion though. It's a GE self cleaning
with steam option, sabbath mode, etc.
