Preheating And Pan Placement - GE JGSP28SENSS Owner's Manual

Do not place foods or pizza stone
directly on the oven floor.

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.
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. The preheat
time will vary depending on the
temperature setting.
Aluminum Foil
Do not use aluminum foil to line oven
bottoms. The foil will trap heat below and
upset the performance of the oven. Foil
can melt and permanently damage the
oven bottom. Damage from improper use
of aluminum foil is not covered by the
product warranty
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.
Oven Vent
Your oven is vented through the rear vent
located through the cooktop under the
vent grille. Do not block this vent when
cooking in the oven—it is important that
the flow of hot air from the oven and fresh
air to the oven burner be uninterrupted.
Avoid touching the vent openings or
nearby surfaces during oven or broiler
operation—they may become hot.

Baking results will be better if baking pans
are centered in the oven as much as
possible. If baking with more than one pan,
place the pans so each has at least 1 to
1 ⁄ of air space around it.

Foil may be used to catch spills by placing
a sheet on a lower rack, several inches
below the food .Do not use more foil than
necessary and never entirely cover an
oven rack with aluminum foil. Keep foil at
least 1-1/2" from oven walls to prevent
poor heat circulation
Handles of pots and pans on the
n
cooktop may become hot if left too close
to the vent.
Do not leave plastic items on the
n
cooktop—they may melt if left too close
to the vent.
Do not leave any items on the cooktop.

The hot air from the vent may ignite
flammable items and will increase
pressure in closed containers, which may
cause them to burst.
Metal items will become very hot if they
n
are left on the cooktop, and could cause
burns.
