 GEAppliances.com To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn on the oven. Preheating and Pan Placement To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn on the oven. Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastries and breads. If baking four cake layers at the same time, place two layers on rack C and two layers on rack E. Stagger pans on the rack so one is not directly above the other. Baking results will be better if food is centered in the oven as much as possible. Angel food cake is the exception and should be placed on the bottom oven rack (position A). Follow package directions on prepackaged and frozen foods for pan placement. Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the oven. If you need to use two racks, stagger the pans so one is not directly above the other. Leave approximately 11⁄2″ between pans and from the front, back and sides of oven wall. How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting Touch the BAKE pad. T ouch the number pads until the desired temperature is displayed. T ouch the START pad. C heck food for doneness at the minimum time on the recipe. Cook longer if necessary. T ouch the CLEAR/OFF pad when baking is finished, and then remove the food from the oven. 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. NOTE: You will hear the convection fan (on some models) while the oven is preheating. The fan will stop after the oven is preheated and the display shows your set temperature. This is normal. To change the oven temperature during the BAKE cycle, touch the BAKE pad and then the number pads to get the new temperature. 17
