Using the oven. | www.GEAppliances.com |
To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
Safety
The oven has 6 shelf positions.
Before you begin…
The shelves have
When placing and removing cookware, pull the shelf out to the bump on the shelf support.
To remove a shelf, pull it toward you, tilt the front end up and pull it out.
To replace, place the end of the shelf
CAUTION: When you are using the shelf in the lowest position (A), you will need to use caution when pulling the shelf out. We recommend that you pull the shelf out several inches and then, using two pot holders, pull the shelf out by holding the sides of it. The shelf is low and you could be burned if you place your hand in the middle of the shelf and pull all the way out. Be very careful not to burn your hand on the door when using the shelf in the lowest position (A).

Care and Cleaning
Center baking pans in the oven.
Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature. The control will beep when the oven is preheated and the display will show your set temperature.
This will take approximately 6–10 minutes.
Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible. If baking with more than one pan, place the pans so each has at least
1 to 11⁄2″ of air space around it. If baking four cake layers at the same time, place two layers on rack B and two layers on rack D. Stagger pans on the rack so one is not directly over the other.
Troubleshooting Tips
Aluminum Foil
Never cover the oven bottom with aluminum foil.
You can use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan and broiler grid. However, you must mold the foil tightly to the grid and cut slits in it just like the grid.
Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.
Aluminum foil may also be used to catch a spillover. To do so, place a small sheet of foil on a lower shelf several inches below the food.
Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking.
