GE JBP78 Using the oven, Customer Service, Care and Cleaning, Before you begin…, Aluminum Foil

Using the oven.

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 stops, so that when placed correctly on the supports, they will stop before coming completely out, and will not tilt.

When placing and removing cookware, pull the shelf out until it stops.

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 (stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the front and push the shelf in.

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 15–20 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 the pans on the rack so one is not directly above the other.

Troubleshooting Tips

	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.	Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat
	and meat juices from draining into the
	broiler pan. The juices could become
	hot enough to catch on fire. If you
	do not cut the slits, you are essentially
	frying, not broiling.

Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of the oven.

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.
