Using the oven. How to Set the Oven for Baking Touch the Bake pad. Touch the + or - pads until the desired temperature is displayed. Touch the Start/On pad. The oven will start automatically. The display will show PrE while preheating. When the oven reaches the selected temperature, the oven control will beep several times and the display will show the oven temperature. GEAppliances.com To change the oven temperature during BAKE cycle, touch the Bake pad and then the + or - 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 baking is finished and then remove the food from the oven. Aluminum Foil Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms. The foil will trap heat below, and upset the performance of the oven. Foil can melt and permanently damage the oven bottom. Damage from improper use of aluminum foil is not covered by the product warranty. Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a sheet on a lower rack, several inches below the food. Do not use more foil than necessary, and never entirely cover an oven rack with aluminum foil. Keep foil at least 1 1/2" from the oven walls to prevent poor heat circulation. CLEAN KETER OVEN OFF TEMP 200 250 300 350 400 Oven Temperature Knob (on some models) Turn the OVEN TEMP knob to the setting you want. „ Preheat the oven for 10 minutes for baking. „ The "oven on" light comes on when the burner is on. It will cycle on and off during cooking. 450 500 BROIL Front of OVEN TEMP knob (knob appearance may vary) HOTMA LOOSEN SC Back of OVEN TEMP knob (knob appearance may vary) KELER REWS TO ROTATE COOMA To Adjust the Thermostat (on models with an OVEN TEMP Knob) Pull the OVEN TEMP knob off the range and look at the back side. To make an adjustment, loosen (approximately one turn), but do not completely remove, the two screws on the back of the knob. With the back of the knob facing you, hold the outer edge of the knob with one hand and turn the front of the knob with the other hand. To increase the oven temperature, move the top screw toward the right. You'll hear a click for each notch you move the knob. To decrease the oven temperature, move the top screw toward the left. Each click will change the oven temperature approximately 10°F. (Range is plus or minus 60°F from the arrow.) We suggest that you make the adjustment one click from the original setting and check oven performance before making any additional adjustments. After the adjustment is made, retighten screws so they are snug, but be careful not to overtighten. Replace the knob, matching the flat area of the knob to the shaft, and check performance. 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. 13
