Aluminum Foil; Preheating - GE JGBS10 Owner's Manual & Installation Instructions

The oven has a special low shelf (R)
position just above the oven bottom.
Use it when extra cooking space is
needed, for example, when cooking
a large turkey. The shelf is not
designed to slide out at this position.
Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.
How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting
Your oven is not designed for open-door cooking.
Close the oven door. Turn the OVEN
CONTROL knob to the desired
temperature.
Check food for doneness at minimum
time on recipe. Cook longer if
necessary.
Turn the OVEN CONTROL knob to
OFF when baking is finished and then
remove the food from the oven.
Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct
temperature. Preheating is necessary for
good results when baking cakes, cookies,
pastry and breads.
For ovens without a preheat indicator light or tone,
preheat 10 minutes.

Aluminum Foil

Never cover the oven bottom with
aluminum foil.
You can use aluminum foil to line the
broiler pan and broiler grid. However,
you must mold the foil tightly to the
grid and cut slits in it just like the grid.
Oven Moisture
As your oven heats up, the temperature
change of the air in the oven may cause
water droplets to form on the door glass.
These droplets are harmless and will
evaporate as the oven continues to heat up.

Roasting
Baking results will be better if baking
pans are centered in the oven as much
as possible. Pans should not touch each
other or the walls of the oven. If you need
to use two shelves, stagger the pans so one
is not directly above the other, and leave
" between pans, from
1
approximately 1 ⁄
2
the front, back and sides of the wall.
Aluminum foil may also be used to catch
a spillover. To do so, place a small sheet of
foil on a lower shelf several inches below
the food.
Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum
foil. This will disturb the heat circulation
and result in poor baking.
