Cooking Modes - GE JS645 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.
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 Bake mode is for baking and roasting. When
preparing baked goods such as cakes, cookies, and
pastries, always preheat the oven first. To use this mode
press the Bake pad, enter a temperature, and then press
Start.
Broiling Modes
Always broil with the oven door closed. Monitor food
food closer to the broil element increases smoking,
spattering, and the possibility of fats igniting. It is not
necessary to preheat when using the Broil modes.
Broil Hi
The Broil Hi mode uses intense heat from the upper
surface and rare interior. To use this mode press the
Broil pad once and then press Start.
Broil Lo
The Broil Lo mode uses less intense heat from the upper
element to cook food thoroughly while also browning
foods that you would like cooked all the way through. To
use this mode press the Broil pad twice and then press

Warm
Warm modes are designed to keep hot, cooked foods
hot. Cover foods that should remain moist and do
not cover foods that should be crisp. Preheating is
recommended that food not be kept warm for more than
2 hours. To use this mode, press the Warm pad then
press Start. The control display will show the oven is set
to Bake at 170F.
Pre-Heat
Proper preheating ensures that the oven is hot enough
to begin baking. Improper preheating (that is, cooking
in the oven that has not come up to set temperature)
recommendations, the temperature of your foods when
they go into the oven may determine your final baking
time and baking results; if you put your food, such as
biscuits or breads, in during Pre-heat, they may over
brown on top or burn.
IMPORTANT: The more items to be heated in the oven
during preheat (this includes multiple racks, baking
stones, etc.) will affect the length of your pre-heat time.
Always begin baking after the pre-heat signal. The signal
will be a beep, indicaotr light or chime. This lets you
know your oven is at your needed baking temperature.
For best results, turn the oven On before you begin your
prep work.
