Adjust the oven thermostat—Do it yourself!

www.GEAppliances.com

You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself.

Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven. These thermometers may vary 20–40 degrees.

NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.

The type of margarine will affect baking performance!

Most recipes for baking have been developed using high fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher fat product.

Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low fat spreads. The lower the fat content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.

Federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low fat spreads, on the other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.

JGB915, JGB905 specifications

The GE JGB905 and JGB915 are both standout models within GE's lineup of gas ranges, designed to provide a seamless cooking experience with a focus on modern technology and traditional cooking excellence. Both models feature a sleek, stainless steel design that not only enhances the kitchen's aesthetic but also ensures durability and ease of cleaning.

One of the main features of the JGB905 and JGB915 is their powerful gas burners. These ranges come equipped with multiple sealed burners, allowing for precise heat control. The variances in BTU output across the burners cater to different cooking needs, from simmering sauces to achieving high-heat sears on meats. The center oval burner, available in both models, is especially useful for accommodating larger pans or griddles.

Incorporated into these ranges is GE's advanced Edge-to-Edge cooktop, which maximizes the cooking surface. This design feature allows for the use of oversized pots and pans without sacrificing space or efficiency. Additionally, the continuous cast-iron grates provide a robust cooking surface, making it easy to slide pots from one burner to another.

When it comes to oven performance, both the JGB905 and JGB915 include an innovative convection oven. This technology circulates hot air throughout the oven cavity, promoting even cooking and browning. The ovens also feature self-cleaning options that save time and effort, allowing users to maintain a clean oven with minimal manual scrubbing.

Another characteristic of these models is the inclusion of smart technology. Equipped with built-in Wi-Fi, both ranges allow users to monitor their cooking from their smartphones. This feature adds convenience, enabling remote access to controls and notifications about the oven status, which is particularly helpful when multitasking in the kitchen.

The interior of the ovens is designed for efficiency and ample space, providing multiple rack positions to accommodate different dishes. Interior oven lighting ensures that users can easily check on their meals without opening the oven door, preserving heat and enhancing cooking precision.

In summary, the GE JGB905 and JGB915 gas ranges stand out with their sleek design, powerful burner capabilities, innovative convection technology, smart features, and user-friendly interfaces. These models cater to both novice cooks and culinary enthusiasts, making them excellent additions to any modern kitchen.
