Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Using the upper oven. GEAppliances.com If your model has a door latch, do not lock the oven door with the latch during baking or roasting. The latch is used for self-cleaning only. How to Set the Upper Oven for Baking or Roasting The oven has a special low rack (R) position just above the oven bottom. Use it when extra cooking space is needed, for example, when cooking a large turkey. The rack is not designed to slide out at this position. Your oven is not designed for open-door cooking. Touch the BAKE pad. Touch the number pads to set the desired temperature. Touch the START pad. The word ON and 100° will be displayed. As the oven heats up, the display will show the changing temperature. When the oven reaches the temperature you set, a tone will sound. To change the oven temperature during BAKE cycle, press the BAKE pad and then the number pads to get the new temperature. Check food for doneness at minimum time on recipe. Cook longer if necessary. Touch the CLEAR/OFF pad when cooking is complete. When baking on a single rack, use the rack position from the chart for your type of food. Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible. Preheating and Pan Placement Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature. Preheating is necessary when convection baking and for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. Baking results will be better if foods are centered in the oven as much as possible. Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the oven. For best results when baking four cake layers at a time, use racks B and D. Place the lower pans at the back of the rack and the upper pans at the front of the rack as shown so that one pan is not directly above another leaving approximately 1-1/2″ between pans, from the front, back and sides of the walls. Type of Food Angel food cake Bundt or pound cakes Biscuits, muffins, brownies, cookies, cupcakes, layer cakes, pies Casseroles Pies - On cookie sheet Roasting 4-Layer cakes Rack Position A or C A or C C B or C B or C R or A B & D Care and Cleaning Installation Instructions Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support When baking four cake layers at a time, use racks B and D. Place the lower pans at the back of the rack and the upper pans to the front of the rack shown so that one pan is not directly above another. Aluminum Foil Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of the oven. Never entirely cover a rack with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking. Oven Moisture As your oven heats up, the temperature change of the air in the oven may cause water droplets to form on the door glass. A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch a spillover by placing it on a lower rack several inches below the food. These droplets are harmless and will evaporate as the oven continues to heat up. 13
