Probably so.

Go ahead and try it.

If the procedure doesn't work, then simply turn the oven off, wait a couple seconds and turn it back on at the new temp.

Voila!

I think you're misunderstanding what is an advantage with Wolf electric ovens.

What the Wolf manual is trying to point out is that if you decide to increase the temperature, the oven is made so that it won't jump into preheat mode, which would result in overbrowned tops. My Monogram oven did that and it was TERRIBLE. The Wolf will increase the temperature, but wants to let you know it will do it more slowly than if you turn it off and back on. Turning it off and back on will indeed prompt it to turn on the preheat mode if you want a significantly higher temperature...But they strongly recommend not having any food in the oven while the oven is on preheat.

It won't be any advantage, to turn the oven off and back on to adjust the temperature down. It won't go into preheat to reduce a temperature, as that's not what preheat does. I have done pies, as you're talking about, in my Wolf wall oven, starting them higher and turning them down to finish, and it will gradually cool to the lower temperature your pie needs, just like any other oven you turn down. In other words, don't worry about doing as you have always done.

I hope this makes sense.

Yes, thank you rhome410, that makes a lot of sense! Thanks too to dadoes. You guys are great!
