Multi-Shelf Baking; Convection Baking - GE JTP18 Use And Care Manual

As a general rule, reduce the temperature by 25°F. for

convection baking.

Preheating is not necessary with foods having a bake
time of over 15 minutes.
Check foods for doneness at the minimum suggested
cooking time.

Multi-Shelf Baking

Because heated air is circulated evenly throughout the
oven, foods can be baked with excellent results on
two, three or more shelves at a time. Multi-shelf
baking may increase cook times slightly for some
foods but the overall result is time saved. Multi-shelf
baking provides very good results with cookies,
biscuits and other quickbreads.

CONVECTION BAKING
Use pan size recommended in the recipe.
Some package instructions for frozen casseroles or
main dishes have been developed using commercial
convection ovens. For best results in this oven, preheat
the oven and use the temperature on the package.
When baking on
three shelves, place
one shelf in the bottom
(A) position, one on
the third (C) position
and one in the fifth
(E) position.
NOTE: When convection baking with only one
shelf, follow the shelf positions recommended in
Oven Shelves in the Baking section.
CAUTION: Be very careful not to burn your hand on
the door when using a shelf in the lowest position (A).
NOTE:
• You will hear a convection fan while cooking with
this feature. The fan will stop when the door is
opened, but the heat will not turn off.
• A cooling fan may turn on and off to cool internal
parts. This is normal, and the fan may continue to
run even after the oven is turned off.
To change the oven temperature during the
Convection Bake cycle, press CONVECTION
BAKE and set the new temperature.
