Cooking Modes - GE PT9200 Owner's Manual

Cooking Modes

Your new oven has a variety of cooking modes to help you get the best results. These modes are described below.
Refer to the Cooking Guide section for recommendations for specific foods. Remember, your new oven may perform
differently than the oven it is replacing.
Bake
The traditional bake mode is intended for single rack
cooking. This mode uses heat primarily from the lower
element but also from the upper element to cook
food. To use this mode touch the Bake pad, enter a
temperature, and then touch Start.
Broil Hi
The Traditional Broil Hi mode uses intense heat from the
upper element to sear foods. Use Broil Hi for thinner cuts
of meat and/or foods you prefer less done on the interior.
To use this mode touch the Broil Hi/Lo pad once and
then touch Start.
Broil Lo
The Traditional Broil Lo mode uses less intense heat
from the upper element to cook food thoroughly while
also producing surface browning. Use Broil Lo for thicker
cuts of meat and/or foods that you would like cooked all
the way through. To use this mode touch the Broil Hi/Lo
pad twice and then touch Start.
Pizza
Touch the Pizza pad. Touch the number pads to select 1
for fresh or 2 for frozen pizza. Touch the number pads to
set the baking temperature. Touch the Start pad.
Warm
The Warm feature keeps cooked foods hot. This feature
is not designed to reheat cold food. To use the Warm
feature, touch the Warm pad from upper oven or the
Warm/Proof pad from lower oven once and then the
Start pad. To use the Warm feature after Timed Baking
or Roasting, follow these steps. Touch the mode of
cooking that you want to use (Bake, Convection Bake
Multi, Convection Bake 1 Rack Or Convection Roast).
Touch the number pads to set the oven temperature.
Touch the Cook Time pad. Touch the number pads to
set the desired length of cooking time. Touch the Warm
or the Warm/Proof pad once. Touch the Start pad.
To crisp stale items place food in low-sided dishes or
pans. For best results, place the food items in a single
layer. Do not stack. Leave them uncovered. Check
crispness after 20–30 minutes. Add time as needed.

Proof
Proof mode is designed for rising (fermenting and
proofing) bread doughs. Cover dough well to prevent
drying out. Bread will rise more rapidly than at room
temperature. Touch the Warm/Proof pad twice. The
display will read "PrF" (proof) and touch Start pad.
You may set timer for minimum proof time, but it is not
required. When proofing is finished, touch the Cancel/
Off pad. The oven interior light turns on and remains on
during proofing. NOTE: Proofing will not operate when
oven is above 125°F. "HOT" will show in the display.
Convection Bake 1 Rack
The Convection Bake 1 Rack mode is intended for
single rack cooking. This mode uses heat from the lower
element and also the upper and rear elements, along
with air movement from the convection fan to enhance
evenness. Your oven is equipped with Auto Recipe
Conversion feature, it automatically reduces the set
regular baking temperature by the recommended 25°F.
See Auto Recipe™ Conversion in the Special Features
section. To use this mode touch the Convection
Bake (1 Rack/Multi) and touch 1 for 1 Rack, enter a
temperature, and then touch Start.
Convection Bake Multi Rack
The Convection Bake Multi Rack mode is intended for
baking on multiple racks at the same time. This mode
uses heat primarily from the rear element but also
heat from the upper and lower elements, along with air
movement from the convection fan to enhance cooking
evenness. Your oven is equipped with Auto Recipe
Conversion feature, it automatically reduces the set
regular baking temperature by the recommended 25°F.
See Auto Recipe™ Conversion in the Special Features
section. Baking time might be slightly longer for multiple
racks than what would be expected for a single rack.
To use this mode touch the Convection Bake (1 Rack/
Multi) and touch 2 for Multi Rack, enter a temperature,
and then touch Start.
