Using The Convection Oven - GE PGS908 Technical Service Manual

OR

Using the convection oven.

For best results when roasting large
turkeys and roasts, we recommend
using the probe included in the
convection oven.
How to Set a Delayed Start and Automatic Stop
You can set the oven control to delay-start the
oven, cook for a specific length of time and then
turn off automatically.
Make sure the clock shows the correct
time of day.
Touch the CONVECTION BAKE
MULTI/1 RACK or CONVECTION
ROAST pad.
Touch the number pads to set the
desired oven temperature.
Touch the COOKING TIME pad.
NOTE: If your recipe requires preheating, you
may need to add additional time to the length of
the cooking time.
Touch the number pads to set the
desired cooking time.
Touch the DELAY START pad.
Touch the number pads to set the
time of day you want the oven to
turn on and start cooking.
If you would like to check the times you have set,
touch the DELAY START pad to check the start time
you have set, or touch the COOKING TIME pad to
check the length of cooking time you have set.
NOTE: When convection baking, the oven temperature will be 25°F (14°C) lower than
the set temperature. See Auto Recipe
information. When convection roasting, oven temperature will not auto convert.

How to Set the Oven for Convection Roasting when Using the Probe
The display will flash PROBE and the
oven control will signal if the probe is
inserted into the outlet, and you have not
set a probe temperature and pressed the
START pad.
Place the oven rack in the position
that centers the food between the
top and bottom of the oven. Insert
the probe into the meat.
Plug the probe into the outlet in the
oven. Make sure it is pushed all the
way in. Close the oven door.
Touch the CONVECTION ROAST pad.
Touch the number pads to set the
desired oven temperature.
Touch the PROBE pad.
Touch the number pads to set the
desired internal meat temperature.
Touch the START pad.
When the oven starts to heat, the word
LO will be in the display.
After the internal temperature of the meat
reaches 100°F (38°C), the changing internal
temperature will be shown in the display.
Convection Roasting Guide
To change the oven temperature during the Convection Roast cycle, touch the CONVECTION ROAST
pad and then touch the number pads to set the new desired temperature.
Touch the START pad.
NOTE: An attention tone will sound if you are
using timed baking or roasting and do not touch
the START pad after entering the baking or
roasting temperature.
When the oven turns on at the time
of day you have set, the display will
show the changing temperature
(starting at 100°F [38°C]) and the
cooking time. The display starts changing
once the temperature reaches 100°F
(38°C).
The oven will continue to cook for the
programmed amount of time, then shut
off automatically, unless the WARM
feature was set. See the How to Set the Oven
for Warming section.
Touch the CLEAR/OFF pad to clear
the display if necessary. Remove
the food from the oven. Remember,
even though the oven shuts off
automatically, food left in the oven
will continue cooking after the oven
turns off.
™ Conversion in the Special Features section for more
When the internal temperature of
the meat reaches the number you
have set, the probe and the oven
turn off and the oven control
signals. To stop the signal, touch the
CLEAR/OFF pad. Use hot pads to
remove the probe from the food.
Do not use tongs to pull on it—they
might damage it.
CAUTION:
do not unplug the probe from the oven outlet until
the oven has cooled. Do not store the probe in
the oven.
NOTE:
■
If the probe is removed from the food before
the final temperature is reached, a tone will
sound and the display will flash until the probe
is removed from the oven.
■
You will hear a fan while cooking with this
feature. The fan will stop when the door is
opened, but the heat will not turn off.
■
You can use the kitchen timer even though you
cannot use timed oven operations.
