Hi Dave,
If your pot specifically warns you against preheating it empty, we say you're best off following that advice. Don't worry though — you can still make outstanding loaves of bread using your Dutch oven. Simply follow the cold start method, which we outlined this post: Baking in a cold Dutch oven. Both you and your pot will be happy; we promise! Kye@KAF
