Using The Oven - GE 164D3333P184 Owner's Manual

Using the oven.

The OVEN TEMP knob is located on the control panel on the front of the range.
Bump
The oven has 4 shelf positions.
Oven Temperature Control
To use the oven, simply turn the knob to
the desired cooking temperatures, which
are marked in 25°F. increments on the
dial. OVEN TEMP maintains the
temperature you set, from WM (170°F.)
to BROIL (550°F.).
Oven Shelves
The shelves are designed with stop-locks
so when placed correctly on the shelf
supports, they will stop before coming
completely out of the oven and will not
tilt when you are removing food from
them or placing food on them.
When placing cookware on a shelf, pull
the shelf out to the bump on the shelf
support. Place the cookware on the
shelf, then slide the shelf back into the
oven. This will eliminate reaching into
the hot oven.
Oven Shelf Positions
The oven has four shelf supports— A
(bottom), B, C and D (top).
Shelf positions for cooking are suggested
on Baking and Roasting pages.
The type of margarine will affect baking performance!
Most recipes for baking have been developed
using high fat products such as butter or
margarine (80% fat). If you decrease the fat, the
recipe may not give the same results as with a
higher fat product.
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies,
pastries, cookies or candies are made with
low fat spreads. The lower the fat content
of a spread product, the more noticeable
these differences become.
The Oven Cycling Light glows until the oven
reaches your selected temperature, then goes off
and on with the oven unit(s) during cooking.
To remove the shelves from the oven, pull
them toward you, tilt front end upward
and pull them out.
To replace, place shelf on shelf support
with stop-locks (curved extension of
shelf) facing up and toward back of oven.
Tilt up front and push shelf toward back
of oven until it goes past the bump on the
shelf support. Then lower front of shelf
and push it all the way back.
Federal standards require products
labeled "margarine" to contain at least
80% fat by weight. Low fat spreads, on
the other hand, contain less fat and more
water. The high moisture content of these
spreads affects the texture and flavor of
baked goods. For best results with your
old favorite recipes, use margarine,
butter or stick spreads containing at
least 70% vegetable oil.
