Timed Baking - GE JDP37 Use And Care Manual

Aluminum Foil
Never entirely cover
a shelf with
aluminum foil. This
will disturb the heat
circulation and result
in poor baking. A
smaller sheet of foil
may be used to catch
a spillover by
placing it on a lower
shelf several inches
below the food.
The oven control allows you to turn the oven on or off
automatically at specific times that you set. Examples
of Immediate Start (oven turns on now and you set it to
turn off automatically) and Delay Start and Stop (setting
the oven to turn on automatically at a later time and
turn off at a preset Stop Time) will be described later.
How to Set Immediate Start and Automatic Stop
To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the
correct position before you turn the oven on.
The oven will turn on immediately and cook for a
selected length of time. At the end of Cook Time,
the oven will turn off automatically.
1. Press the COOK TIME pad.
COOK
NOTE: If your recipe requires preheating,
TIME
you may need to add additional time to
the length of the Cook Time.
2. Press the INCREASE pad until the desired length
of baking time appears in the display.
3. Press the BAKE pad.
4. Press the INCREASE or DECREASE
pad until the desired temperature is
displayed. An attention tone will sound
if step 3 is not done.
The words "TIME BAKE" and "COOK
TIME" will be displayed along with the
oven temperature that you set and the
Cook Time that you entered.
Don't Peek
Set the timer for the estimated cooking time and do
not open the door to look at your food. Most recipes
provide minimum and maximum baking times such
as "bake 30-40 minutes."
DO NOT open the door to check until the minimum
time. Opening the oven door frequently during
cooking allows heat to escape and makes baking times
longer. Your baking results may also be affected.

TIMED BAKING

NOTE: Before beginning, make sure the oven clock
shows the correct time of day.
CLOCK
The oven will start automatically. The word "ON" and
"100°" will be displayed. The Cook Time will begin
to count down. As the oven heats up, the display will
show the changing temperature. When the oven
reaches the temperature you set, a tone will sound.
The oven will continue to cook for the programmed
amount of time, then shut off automatically.
At the end of Timed Bake, the display will show
"0HR:00 COOK TIME" and the oven will turn off.
The end of cycle tone will sound.
CLEAR
OFF
NOTE:
• Foods that spoil easily, such as milk, eggs, fish,
stuffings, poultry and pork, should not be allowed to
sit for more than one hour before or after cooking.
Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful
bacteria. Be sure that the oven light is off because heat
from the bulb will speed harmful bacteria growth.
• A fan may automatically turn on and off to cool
internal parts. This is normal, and the fan may
continue to run after the oven is turned off.
To set the clock, first press the CLOCK
pad. Press the INCREASE or DECREASE
pad until correct time of day is displayed.
Press the CLOCK pad to start.
5. Press the CLEAR/OFF pad to clear the
display if necessary. Remove the food
from the oven. Remember, even though
the oven shuts off automatically, foods
continue cooking after the controls are off.
