Using the Convection Oven

Wall Oven

How to set the oven for convection baking or roasting

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

1Press the CONV BAKE/1 RACK pad (Convection Bake 1-Rack mode) for 1-rack convection baking. This mode is used for cooking food items on only 1 rack in convection bake.

Press the CONV BAKE/MULTI pad (Convection Bake Multi mode) for multi-rack convection baking. This mode is used for cooking food items on more than one rack (i.e. 2, 3 or more racks) at the same time

in Convection Bake. See the Multi-rack convection baking section for more information.

Press the CONV ROAST pad for convection roasting.

2Press the number pads to set the desired oven temperature.

3Press the START pad.

To change the oven temperature, press the

CONV BAKE/MULTI, CONV BAKE/1 RACK or CONV ROAST pad and then the number pads to set the new temperature.

When the oven starts to heat, the changing temperature, starting at 100°F, will be displayed. When the oven reaches the temperature you set, 3 beeps will sound.

4Press the CLEAR/OFF pad when finished.

NOTE:

You will hear a fan while cooking with convection. The fan will stop when the door is opened but the heat will not turn off.

You may hear the oven clicking during baking. This is normal.

The convection fan will cycle on and off while cooking to best distribute the hot air in the oven.

*Stuffed birds generally require 30–45 minutes additional roasting time. Shield legs and breast with foil to prevent over-browning and drying of skin.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture says “Rare beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to only 140°F means some food poisoning organisms may survive.” (Source: Safe Food Book. Your Kitchen Guide. USDA Rev. June 1985.)

ZEK938, ZET938, ZEK958, ZET958 specifications

The GE Monogram ZET958, ZEK958, ZET938, and ZEK938 are premium wall ovens designed to elevate culinary experiences in modern kitchens. With a focus on innovation, these models combine sophisticated design with advanced technology to deliver exceptional cooking performance.

One of the standout features of the GE Monogram wall ovens is their European-inspired design, which offers a sleek and professional appearance. The stainless steel finish not only enhances the aesthetic of any kitchen but also ensures durability and ease of cleaning. The ergonomic controls are strategically positioned for user convenience, allowing easy access to all cooking functions.

In terms of cooking capabilities, these wall ovens are equipped with a powerful convection system. This technology circulates heated air throughout the oven, ensuring that food cooks evenly and efficiently, eliminating hot spots. This results in perfectly baked goods and evenly roasted meats every time.

The ovens also feature multiple cooking modes, including traditional bake, roast, broil, and the advanced steam baking option. A steam baking function introduces moisture into the oven during the baking process, which helps to create a beautifully crisp exterior while keeping the interior moist. This is particularly beneficial for artisan bread, pastries, and even meats.

Another significant characteristic of the GE Monogram series is the integration of smart technology. With Wi-Fi connectivity, users can monitor and control their ovens remotely via a smartphone app. This functionality allows chefs to preheat their ovens, adjust cooking settings, or receive notifications when their food is ready, making it easier to multitask in today's fast-paced environment.

Furthermore, these models come with a self-cleaning feature that minimizes user maintenance. The high-temperature cleaning cycle vaporizes food residue, leaving the oven clean without the need for scrubbing.

Safety is also a priority in these wall ovens, featuring advanced sensors that detect when the oven is overheated and automatically shut it down to prevent accidents.

In summary, the GE Monogram ZET958, ZEK958, ZET938, and ZEK938 wall ovens embody luxury and functionality. With their combination of powerful convection cooking, steam baking, smart technology, and elegant design, these ovens meet the needs of both amateur cooks and seasoned chefs, making them a valuable addition to any kitchen.
