Using the oven. | GEAppliances.com |
To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn on the oven.
Safety
Do not place foods or baking stone directly on the oven floor.
Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastries and breads.
The display will show “PrE” while preheating. When the oven reaches the selected temperature, the oven control will beep and the display will show the oven temperature.
If baking four cake layers at the same time, place two layers on rack C and two layers on rack E. Stagger pans on the rack so one
is not directly above the other.
Baking results will be better if the food is centered in the oven as much as possible. Angel Food cake is the exception and should be placed on the bottom oven rack (position A). Follow package direction on prepackaged and frozen foods for pan placement. Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the oven. If you need to use two racks, stagger the pans so one is not directly above the other. Leave approximately 11⁄2 between pans and from the front, back and sides of oven wall.
