Baking - GE JTP26 Use And Care Manual

Aluminum Foil
Never entirely cover a
shelf with aluminum foil.
This will disturb the heat
circulation and result in
poor baking. A smaller
sheet of foil may be used
to catch a spillover by
placing it on a lower
shelf several inches
below the food.
How to Time Bake
The oven control allows you to turn the oven on or
off automatically at specific times that you set.
NOTE: Before beginning make sure the clock shows
the correct time of day.
