Using The Oven; Before You Begin - GE JBP49 Owner's Manual

Using the oven.

To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
The oven has 6 shelf positions.
Center baking pans in the oven.

Before you begin...

The shelves have stop-locks, so that when
placed correctly on the shelf supports (A
through F), 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.
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.
How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting
Touch the BAKE pad.
Touch the number pads to set the
oven temperature.
To change the oven temperature during the
Bake cycle, touch the BAKE pad and set the
new temperature.
Touch the START pad. When the
oven starts to heat, the changing
temperature will be in the display.
The display starts changing once
the temperature reaches 100°F.
Touch the CLEAR/OFF pad when
baking is finished.
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.
This will take approximately 6–10 minutes.
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.
CAUTION:
When you are using the
shelf in the lowest position (A), you will need
to use caution when pulling the shelf out. We
recommend that you pull the shelf out several
inches and then, using two pot holders, pull the
shelf out by holding the sides of it. The shelf is
low and you could be burned if you place your
hand in the middle of the shelf and pull all the
way out. Be very careful not to burn your hand
on the door when using the shelf in the lowest
position (A).
Type of Food
Frozen pies (on cookie sheet)
Angel food cake
Bundt or pound cakes
Biscuits, muffins, brownies,
cookies, cupcakes,
layer cakes, pies
Casseroles
Turkey
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
" of air space around it. If baking
1 to 1 1 ⁄
2
four cake layers at the same time, place
two layers on shelf B and two layers on
shelf D. Stagger pans on the shelf so one
is not directly over the other.
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to
catch a spillover by placing it on a lower
shelf several inches below the food.
