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.
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
1 to 1
1
⁄2″ of air space around it. If baking
four cake layers at the same time, place
two layers on rack B and two layers on
rack D. Stagger pans on the rack so one
is not directly over the other.
Using the oven. www.GEAppliances.com
To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
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.
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).
The oven has 6 shelf positions.

Aluminum Foil
Never cover the oven bottom
with aluminum foil.
You can use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan
and broiler grid. However, you must mold the foil
tightly to the grid and cut slits in it just like the grid.
Aluminum foil may also be used to catch
a spillover. To do so, place a small sheet
of foil on a lower shelf several inches
below the food.
Never entirely cover a shelf with
aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat
circulation and result in poor baking.
Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.
Center baking pans in the oven.
