GE JDP36 Timed Baking, Aluminum Foil, Don’t Peek, How to Set Immediate Start and Automatic Stop

Aluminum Foil

Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking. A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch a spillover by placing it on a lower shelf several inches below the food.

Don’t Peek

Set the timer for the estimated cooking time and do not open the door to look at your food. Most recipes provide minimum and maximum baking times such as “bake 30-40 minutes.”

DO NOT open the door to check until the minimum time. Opening the oven door frequently during cooking allows heat to escape and makes baking times longer. Your baking results may also be affected.

How to Set Immediate Start and Automatic Stop

To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the correct position before you turn the oven on.

The oven will turn on immediately and cook for a selected length of time. At the end of Cook Time, the oven will turn off automatically.

	1. Press the COOK TIME pad.
COOK	NOTE: If your recipe requires preheating,
TIME	you may need to add additional time to
	the length of the Cook Time.

2.Press the INCREASE pad until the desired length of baking time appears in the display.

3.Press the BAKE pad.

4.Press the INCREASE or DECREASE pad until the desired temperature is

displayed. An attention tone will sound if step 3 is not done.

The words “TIME BAKE” and “COOK TIME” will be displayed along with the oven temperature that you set and the Cook Time that you entered.

The oven will start automatically. The word “ON” and “100°” will be displayed. The Cook Time will begin to count down. As the oven heats up, the display will show the changing temperature. When the oven reaches the temperature you set, a tone will sound. The oven will continue to cook for the programmed amount of time, then shut off automatically.

At the end of Timed Bake, the display will show “0HR:00 COOK TIME” and the oven will turn off. The end of cycle tone will sound.

5.Press the CLEAR/OFF pad to clear the

CLEAR display if necessary. Remove the food

OFF from the oven. Remember, even though the oven shuts off automatically, foods continue cooking after the controls are off.

NOTE:

•Foods that spoil easily, such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, poultry and pork, should not be allowed to sit for more than one hour before or after cooking. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria. Be sure that the oven light is off because heat from the bulb will speed harmful bacteria growth.

•A fan may automatically turn on and off to cool internal parts. This is normal, and the fan may continue to run after the oven is turned off.
