IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

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.

Preheating and Pan Placement

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature. Preheating is necessaiy' for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastiy and breads.

For ovens without a preheat indicator light or tone, preheat W minutes.

Aluminum Foil

You can use aluminum foil to line the

broiler pan and broiler grid. How’evei; you must mold the firil tightly to the giid and cut slits in it just like the grid.

Aluminum foil may also be used to catch a spillover.

Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible. Pans should not touch each

other or the walls of the oven. If you need

to use rtvo shelves, stagger the pans so one is not diiectly above the other, and leave approximately 114" between pans, from

the front, back and sides of the w’all.

Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat

circulation and result in poor baking. A smaller sheet of fi>il may' be used to

catch a spillover by jrlacing it on a low'er shelf several inches below’ the food.

How to Set the Oven for Broiling

www.GEAppliances.com

г?'

If your oven is connected to 208 volts, rare steaks may be broiled by

preheating the broiler and positioning

the oven shelf one position higher.

Tlhe U.S. Department of Agriculture says

"Rare beef Is popular, hut you should know that cooking It to only 140°Fmeans same food poisoning organisms may survive." (Source: Safe Food Book. Your Kitchen Guide. USDA Rev. June 1985.)

Leave the door open to the broil stop position.

The door stays open by itself, yet the proper temperature is maintained in the oven.

NOTE: Food can be broiled with the door

closed but it may not brown as well because

the oven heating element will cycle on and off

Place the meat or fish on the broiler grid in the broiler pan.

Follow suggested shelf positions in the Broiling Guide.

The size, weight, thickness, starting temperature

and your preference for doneness will affect

broiling times. This guide is based on meats at refrigerator temperature.

On double oven models, you can use timed baking in one oven while using self-clean in the other; you can also use timed baking in both ovens at the same time.

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 tight is off because heat from the bulb will speed harmful bacteria growth.

The temperature probe has a

skewer-like probe at one end and a

plug at the other end that goes into

the outlet in the oven.

NOTE: Double oven models have a probe in the

upper oven only.

Use of probes othei’ than the one provided \dtfi this product ma)' result in damage to the probe.

Use the handles of the probe and plug when inserting and reino\ing them from the meat and outlet.

El To avoid damaging your probe, do not use

tongs to pull on the cable when removing it To avoid breaking the probe, make sure food is

completely defrosted before inserting.

After preparing the meat and placing it on a tiivet or on the broiler pan grid, follow these directions foi’ proper probe placement.

L,ay the probe on the outside of the meat along the top or side and mark

with youi' finger w'here the edge of

the meat comes to on the probe. The jioint should rest in the center of the thickest meaty part, of the roast.

Insert the jirobe completely into the meat, up to the handle. It should not touch bone, fat or gristle.

'■■■ To pre vent possible burns, do not unplug

the probe from the outlet until the oven has cooled

Never leave your probe inside the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.

Do not store the probe in the oven.

For roasts with no bone, insert the jirobe into the meatiest jrait of the roast. For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the center of the lownst large muscle

or joint. Insert, the probe into the center of dishes

such as meat loaf or casseroles. Wdien

cooking fish, insert the probe from just above the gill into the meatiest area, parallel to the backbone.

Convection Bake

Multi-shelf position

NOTE: The convection fan will cycle on and off

while cooking to best distribute hot air in the

oven.

The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened. DO NOT leave the door open for long periods of time while using convection cooking or you may shorten the life of the convection heating element

In a convection oven, a fan circulates hotair over, under and around the food.

This circulating hot air Is evenly distributed

throughout the oven cavity. 4s a result foods are evenly cooked and browned—often in less

time with convection heat.

Multi-Shelf Convection Baking

When convection baking with only I shelf

follow the shelf positions recommended in

the Using the oven section.

Because heated air is circulated evenly

throughout the oven, foods can be baked with excellent lesults using multiple shelves.

Multi-shelf baking may increase cook times slightly foi- some foods but the overall lesult is time saved. Cookies,

muffins, biscuits and other quickbreads give veiy good lesults with multi-shelf bakinff.

Ideal for evenly browned baked foods cooked on multiple shelves.

Good for large guantities of baked foods. Good results with cookies, biscuits, muffins,

brownies, cupcakes, cream puffs, sweet rolls, angel food cake and bread.

The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food.

The type of margarine will affect baking performance!

Most recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you

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 candles are made with low-fat spreads. The lower the fat

content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.

Federal sfcmdards require products labeled “maigarine" to contain at least 80% fat by weight, f.ow-fat spreads, on the other hand, confciin less fat and more water. The high-moisture content of these sjrreads affect the texture and flavor of baked goods. For best results with )'our old favoiite recipes, use mai garine, butter or stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.
