Cooking Modes - GE JGBS66 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 bake mode is for baking and roasting. This mode
uses heat only from the lower burner. When preparing
baked goods such as cakes, cookies and pastries,
always preheat the oven first. To use this mode, press
the Bake pad, use the + and - pads to adjust the
temperature, then press Start.
Broiling Modes
Always broil with the oven door and drawer closed.
Monitor food closely while broiling. Use caution when
broiling on the upper rack positions as placing food
closer to the broil burner increases smoking, spattering,
and the possibility of fats igniting.
Try broiling foods that you would normally grill. Adjust
rack positions to adjust the intensity of the heat to the
food. Place foods closer to the broil burner when a seared
surface and rare interior is desired. Thicker foods and
foods that need to be cooked through should be broiled
on a lower rack position or by using the Broil Lo mode.
Broil Compartment (on some models)
For better searing use the rack position that places
food closest to the broil heater. Move food down for
more doneness/less searing. Take care not to touch
the inner door when placing and removing food in broil
compartment.

Broil Hi
The Broil Hi mode uses intense heat from the upper
burner to sear foods. Use Broil Hi for thinner cuts of meat
and/or when you would like to have a seared surface and
rare interior. To use this mode press the Broil pad once
and then press Start. It is not necessary to preheat when
using this mode.
Broil Lo
The Broil Lo mode uses less intense heat from the upper
burner to cook food thoroughly while also browning the
surface. Use Broil Lo for thicker cuts of meat and/or foods
that you would like cooked all the way through. To use
this mode press the Broil pad twice and then press Start.
It is not necessary to preheat when using this mode.
Convection Bake (on some models)
The Convection Bake mode is intended for baking
on multiple racks at the same time. This mode uses
air movement from the convection fan to enhance
cooking evenness. Your oven is equipped with Auto
Recipe Conversion, so it is not necessary to adjust the
temperature when using this mode. Always preheat
when using this mode. Baking times may be slightly
longer for multiple racks than what would be expected
for a single rack. To use this mode press the Conv Bake
pad, use the + and - pads to adjust the temperature, and
then press Start. Always preheat when using this mode.
