Before You Begin - GE JTP86SHSS User Manual

Using the lower oven.
To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
NOTE: A cooling fan may
automatically turn on and off to
cool internal parts. This is normal,
and the fan may continue to run
even after the oven is turned off.
To preheat, set the oven at the
correct temperature. The control
will beep when the oven is
preheated and the display will
show your set temperature. This
may take approximately 10 minutes.

Before you begin...

The shelves have stop-locks, so that when
placed correctly on the supports, they will
stop before coming completely out, and
will not tilt.
When placing and removing cookware,
pull the shelf out to the bump on the
shelf support.
How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting
Press the BAKE pad.
Press the number pads to set the
desired temperature.
Press the START pad.
Check food for doneness at
minimum time on recipe. Cook
longer if necessary.
Press the CLEAR/OFF pad when
cooking is complete.
Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.
Preheating is necessary for good results
when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and
breads.
Baking results will be better if baking
pans are centered in the oven as much
as possible. Pans should not touch each
Aluminum Foil
Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom
of the oven.
Never entirely cover a shelf with
aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat
circulation and result in poor baking.
To remove a shelf, pull it toward you, tilt
the front end up and pull it out.
To replace, place the end of the shelf
(stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the
front and push the shelf in.
NOTE: 30 " ovens (shown) have 6 shelf positions.
27 "ovens have 4 shelf positions.
