Using the oven. | ge.com |
To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
The oven has 7 rack positions.
Before you begin…
The racks have stops, so that when placed correctly on the supports (A through G), they will stop before coming completely out, and will not tilt.
When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out until it stops.
To remove a rack, pull it toward you, tilt the front end up and pull it out.
To replace, place the end of the rack
CAUTION: When you are using the rack in the lowest position (A), you will need to use caution when pulling the rack out. We recommend that you pull the rack out several inches and then, using two pot holders, pull the rack out by holding the sides of it. The rack is low and you could be burned if you place your hand in the middle of the rack and pull all the way out. Be very careful not to burn your hand on the door when using the rack in the lowest position (A).

SafetyInstructions Operating Instructions 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 to 8 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.

Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of the oven. | A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch | |
Never entirely cover a rack with aluminum | a spillover by placing it on a lower rack several | |
inches below the food. | ||
foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and | ||

result in poor baking. |
