Aluminum Foil And Oven Liners; Cookware - GE PT9800 Owner's Manual

Racks (Cont.)
Traditional Flat Racks
The racks have stops 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 rack out until it stops.
To Remove a Rack
Pull it toward you, tilt the front end up and pull it out.
To Replace a Rack
Tilt the front of the rack up, hook the rear locating posts
under the rack supports, push the rack back (past the
stop-locks) and lower it into position. Push the rack all
the way in.
Racks may become difficult to slide, especially after
a self-clean. Put some vegetable oil on a soft cloth or
paper towel and rub onto the left and right edges.
NOTE: Using other cooking oils will cause a discoloring
or a rust like color residue on the racks and cavity sides.
To clean this residue, use a soap and water or a vinegar
and water solution. Rinse with clean water and dry with a
soft cloth.
CAUTION
Use caution when removing a rack from lowest position as door may be hot.

Aluminum Foil and Oven Liners

CAUTION
Do not use any type of foil or oven liner to cover the oven bottom. These items can trap heat
or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire. Damage from improper use of
these items is not covered by the product warranty.
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.

Cookware

Cookware Guidelines
The material, finish, and size of cookware affect baking
performance.
Dark, coated and dull pans absorb heat more readily
than light, shiny pans. Pans that absorb heat more
readily can result in a browner, crisper, and thicker crust.
If using dark and coated cookware check food earlier
than minimum cook time. If undesirable results are
obtained with this type of cookware consider reducing
oven temperature by 25º F next time.

Shiny pans can produce more evenly cooked baked
goods such as cakes and cookies.
Glass and ceramic pans heat slowly but retain heat well.
These types of pans work well for dishes such as pies
and custards.
Air insulated pans heat slowly and can reduce bottom
browning.
Keep cookware clean to promote even heating.
