Timed Convection Baking

Wall Oven

Using the timed features for convection cooking

NOTE: Foods that spoil easily, such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, poultry and pork, should not be allowed to sit for more than 1 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.

On double oven models, you can use timed baking or roasting in one oven while using self-clean in the other; you can also use timed baking or roasting in both ovens

at the same time.

How to set an immediate start and automatic stop

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

Make sure the oven clock shows the correct time of day.

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 COOK TIME pad.

NOTE: If your recipe requires preheating, you may need to add additional time to the length of the cooking time.

4Press the number pads to set the desired length of cooking time. The minimum cooking time you can set is 1 minute.

The oven temperature that you set and the cooking time that you entered will be in the display.

5Press the START pad.

The display shows the oven temperature that you set and the cooking time countdown. (The display starts changing once the temperature reaches 100°F.)

NOTE: On double oven models, when using both ovens at the same time, the times showing in the display will be for the last oven set. To display the time set for the first oven set, press the COOK TIME pad for that oven.

The oven will continue to cook for the programmed amount of time, then shut off automatically, unless the WARM feature was set. See the How to set the oven for warming section.

6Press the CLEAR/OFF pad to clear the display if necessary. Remove the food from the oven. Remember, even though the oven shuts off automatically, food left in the oven will continue cooking after the oven turns off.

NOTE: You will hear a fan while cooking with this feature. The fan will cycle on and off while cooking to best distribute the hot air, and will stop when the door is opened but the heat will not turn off.

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.
