Safety Instructions Operating Instructions ge.com 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. 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 for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. For ovens without a preheat indicator light or tone, preheat 10 minutes. On some models, the display will show "PRE" while preheating. When the oven reaches the selected temperature, the oven control will beep and the display will show the oven temperature. Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible. Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the oven. If you need to use two shelves, stagger the pans so one is not directly above the other, and leave approximately 11⁄2″ from the front of the pan to the front of the shelf. Care and Cleaning Installation Instructions Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support Cut slits in the foil just like the grid. Aluminum Foil Never cover the oven bottom with 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. Aluminum foil may also be used to catch a spillover. To do so, place a small sheet of foil on a lower shelf several inches below the food. Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking. Leave the door open to the broil stop position. The door stays open by itself, yet the proper temperature is maintained in the oven. How to Set the Oven for Broiling (on models without an oven temperature knob) Place the meat or fish on the broiler grid in the broiler pan. Follow suggested shelf positions in the Broiling Guide. If your range is connected to 208 volts, rare steaks may be broiled by preheating the broiler and positioning the oven shelf one position higher. Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry or thick cuts of meat thoroughly without over-browning them. Touch the BROIL HI/LO pad once for HI Broil. To change to LO Broil, touch the BROIL HI/LO pad again. Touch the START/ON pad. When broiling is finished, touch the CLEAR/OFF pad. 13
