IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

,& WARNING!

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire
or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

IMPORTANT SAFETYNOTICE

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor
of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure

to such substances.

The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off a very small amount of carbon monoxide
during the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using

a ventilation fan or hood.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including
the following:

Use this appliance only for its intended
purpose as described in this Owner's

Manual.

Be sure your appliance is properly installed
and grounded by a qualified technician in
accordance with the provided installation

instructions.

iiiiiil

Do not attempt to repair or replace

any part of your oven unless it is specifically

recommended in this manual. All other

servicing should be referred to a qualified

technician.

iiiiiil

Have the installer show you the location

of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for

easy reference.

iiiiiiili_

Before performing any service, disconnect

the oven power supply at the household

distribution panel by removing the fuse

or switching off the circuit breaker.

iiiiiiili_

Do not leave children alone-children should *:*

not be left alone or unattended in an area

Never wear loose-fitting or hanging
garments while using the appliance. Be
careful when reaching for items stored in

cabinets over the oven. Flammable material
could be ignited if brought in contact with hot

surfaces or heating elements and may
cause severe burns.

Use only dry pot holders-moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns

from steam. Do not let pot holders touch

completely by closing the oven door

and turning the oven off or by using
a multi-purpose dry chemical
or foam-type fire extinguisher.

Do not touch the heating elements
or the interior surface of the oven. These

surfaces may be hot enough to burn even
though they are dark in color. During and
after use, do not touch, or let clothing or
other flammable materials contact any

interior area of the oven; allow sufficient
time for cooling first.

Potentially hot surfaces include oven
vent openings, surfaces near the openings,
crevices around the oven door, the edges
of the window and metal trim parts above

the door.
REMEMBER: The inside surface of the oven

and door may be hot when the door is
opened.

Adjust the upper or lower oven thermostat--Do it gourselfl

You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few
weeks to become more familiar with it. IfFou still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust
the thermostat yourself.

Do not usethermometers,such as thosefound in grocery stores,to checkthe temperature settingof Four oven.
Thesethermometers may vary 20-40 degrees.

NOTE: This adjustment will only affect baking and roasting temperatures; it will not affect broiling or self-cleaning
temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.

The type of margarine will affect baking performance!

Host recipes for baking have been developed using high fat products such as butter or ma(garine (80% fat).
If Fou decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher fat product.

Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low fat spreads.
The lower the fat content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.

Federalstandards require products labeled "margarine" to contain at least80% fat by weight. Lowfat spreads,on the other

hand, contain lessfat and more water. The highmoisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor of baked
goods. For best resultswith your old favorite recipes,use margarine,butter or stick spreads containing at least70%

vegetable oil.

Convection Fan Operation

In a convection oven, a fan circulates hot air

_ i _ _1ill

over, under and around the food.

Thiscirculatinghot air isevenly distributed
throughout the oven.As aresult,foods are

even!gcookedand browned-often in less
time with convection heat.

Introduction

Theconvection ovencomes with two
convection baking modes:

Multi and 1 Rack:
MULTI--for convection cooking on more

than one rack. Touch the CONVECTION
BAKEpad andthen the 2 pad.

Seethe Multi-RackConvection
Bakingsectionbelow.

NOTE:To maximize cooking evenness,
the fan isdesignedto rotate inboth

directions,with a pausein between.
Thisisnormal.

Theconvection fan shuts offwhen
the oven door isopened.DONOTleave

the door openfor long periodsof time
while using convection cooking or you

may shorten the lifeof the convection
heating element.

1 RACK--for convection cooking on one
rack only. Touch the CONVECTIONBAKE

pad andthen the 1 pad.Seethe ! Rack
ConvectionBakingsection below.

Multi-rack position.

Multi-Rack Convection Baking

Because heated airiscirculated evenly
throughout the oven,foods can be baked

with excellent results using multiple racks.
Multi-rack baking may increase cook times

slightly for some foods but the overall result
istime saved.Cookies,muffins, biscuitsand

other quickbreadsgive very good results
with multi-rack baking.

quickly for a moist and tender product

while, at the same time, creating a rich

Cookware for Convection Cooking

Beforeusingyour convection oven,check
to seeif your cookware leavesroom for air
circulation inthe oven.If you are baking
with severalpans,leavespace between
them.Also,be surethe pansdo not touch

each other or the walls of the oven.

Paper end Plastic

Heat-resistant paperand plastic containers
that are recommended for use inregular
baking can also beusedfor convection
baking, but should not be usedat
temperatures higher than the temperature
recommended by the cookware

manufacturer. Plasticcookware
that is heat-resistant to temperatures

of 400°Fcan also beused.

Metal and Glass

Any type of cookware willwork in your
convection oven.However,metal pans

heat the fastest and are recommended
for convection baking.

Darkenedor matte-finished panswi!!

bake faster than shiny pans.

Glassor ceramicpans cook more slowly.

Forrecipes like oven-baked chicken,
usea panwith low sides.Hot air

cannot circulate well around food
in a pan with high sides.

Using the timed features for convection cooking. GEApp,onces.com

You will hear a fan while cooking with these features. The fan will stop when the door is opened, but the heat
will not turn off.

NOTE: Foods that spoil easily-such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, poultry and pork-should not be allowed

to sit for more than 1 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.
