Cooking Modes - GE PB900 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 rack position and other recommendations for specific modes and foods.
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.
Preheating is generally recommended when using this
mode. To use this mode press the Bake pad, enter a
temperature with the number pads, and then press Start/
Enter.
Convection Bake
This mode is intended for single rack baking when
additional airflow is desired to enhance evenness.
Preheating is generally recommended when using this
mode. To use this mode press the Conv Bake pad,
enter a temperature with number pads, and then press
Start.
Convection Roast
This mode is intended for roasting whole cuts of meat
on a single rack. The utilization of all three elements and
direct airflow down from the top of the oven improves
browning and reduces cooking time. Check food earlier
than the recipe suggests or use the probe when using
this mode. To use this mode press the Conv Roast pad,
enter a temperature with number pads, and then press
Start.
Broiling Modes
Always broil with the door closed. The broil element in
this oven is very powerful. Monitor food closely while
positions as placing food closer to the broil element
increases smoking, spattering, and the possibility of fats
igniting. Broiling on rack position 6 is not recommended.
Broiling can be used for foods that would typically be
grilled.
Adjust the rack position in order to vary the intensity
of the heat to the food. Place foods closer to the broil
element when a seared surface and rare interior are
desired. For best performance center the food below the
broil heating element.
Press the Broil pad twice for High or once for Low
depending on the amount of searing and the internal
temperature that is preferred. The High setting is best for
on the interior. The Low setting is preferred for thicker
cuts of meat and foods you like to be cooked all the way
through. It is not necessary to preheat the oven for these
modes. Then press Start.

Air Fry
Air Fry is a special, no-preheat, cooking mode that is
designed to produce foods with a crispier exterior than
traditional oven cooking. The Air Fry mode is intended
for single rack cooking only. Select Air Fry, then input
the desired set temperature and press Start. The
temperature can be set between 300°F and 500°F.
Preheating is not recommended for this mode. Follow
traditional oven recipe or package guidelines for set
temperatures and cook times; adjust cook time to
achieve your desired crispness. Additional guidelines for
using this mode can be found in the Cooking Guide.
Warm
Warm mode is designed to keep hot foods at a higher
temperature for up to 3 hours. Preheating is not required.
crackers, chips, or dry cereal. It is also recommended
that food not be kept warm for more than 2 hours. Press
