Cooking Modes - GE JK3800SH2SS 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.
Baking and Roasting Modes
Select a mode for baking and roasting based on the type
and quantity of food you are preparing. When preparing
baked goods such as cakes, cookies, and pastries always
preheat the oven first. Follow recipe recommendations for
food placement. If no guidelines are provided, center food
in the oven.
Traditional 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
press the Bake pad, turn the selector dial to set the oven
temperature and press to enter, then press Start Preheating
is generally recommended when using this mode.
Broiling Modes
Always broil with the door closed. The broil element in this
oven is very powerful. Monitor food closely while broiling.
Use caution when broiling on upper rack positions as
placing food closer to the broil element increases smoking,
spattering, and the possibility of fats igniting. BroiHing on
rack position 6 is not recommended.
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 element when a seared surface
and rare interior is desired. Thicker foods and foods that
need to be cooked through should be broiled on a rack
position farther from the broiler or by using Broil Lo. For best
performance center food below the broil heating element.
Broil L©
The Traditional Broil L© mode uses less intense heat from
the upper element to cook food thoroughly while also
producing surface browning. Use Broil L© 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, turn the
selector dial to L© and press to enter, and then press Start.
It is not necessary to preheat when using this mode.
Proof
Proof mode is designed for rising (fermenting and proofing)
bread dough. Press the Options pad, turn the selector
dial to select Proof and press to select, then press Start.
Cover dough well to prevent drying out. Bread will rise more
rapidly than at room temperature. Note that for double wall
ovens, proof cannot be run when running a clean mode in
the lower oven.
Warm
Warm mode is designed to keep hot foods hot for up to 3
hours. To use this mode, press the Options pad, turn the
selector dial to select Warm and press to select, or press
the Warm pad, then press Start. Cover foods that need to
remain moist and do not cover foods that should be crisp.
Preheating is not required. Do not use warm to heat cold
food other than crisping crackers, chips or dry cereal. It is
also recommended that food not be kept warm for more
than 2 hours.
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 press the Broil pad, turn the selector
dial to Hi and press to enter, and then press Start. It is not
necessary to preheat when using this mode.
