SAFETY PRECAUTIONS When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following: ■ Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the door. They could damage the oven, or cause severe personal injury. ■ Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with the provided installation instructions. ■ Be sure the oven is securely installed in a cabinet that is firmly attached to the house structure.
Safety Instructions IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING. WARNING! SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ■ Do not store flammable materials in an oven. Operating Instructions ■ CAUTION : Items of interest to children should not be stored in cabinets above an oven; children climbing on the oven to reach items could be seriously injured. ■ Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items stored in cabinets over the oven.
COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY… Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F. and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness. ■ Do not clean the door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal.

NOTE: The oven light comes on automatically (on some models) when the door is opened and goes off when the door is closed. The bulb may be removed. See the Oven Light Replacement section. On models with a light switch on the control panel, the oven light may be turned on and left on.
Safety Instructions 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 supports, 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 replace, place the end of the shelf (stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the front and push the shelf in.

www.GEAppliances.com 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 light is off because heat from the bulb will speed harmful bacteria growth.
Safety Instructions For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal food temperature is the best test for doneness. The temperature probe takes the guesswork out of roasting by cooking foods to the exact doneness you want. NOTE: Double oven models have a probe in the upper oven only. Cable Plug Use of probes other than the one provided with this product may result in damage to the probe. Use the handles of the probe and plug when inserting and removing them from the meat and outlet.
www.GEAppliances.com 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. To help you understand the difference between convection bake and roast and traditional bake and roast, here are some general guidelines. Convection Bake In a convection oven, a fan circulates hot air over, under and around the food.
Cookware for Convection Cooking Before using your convection oven, check to see if your cookware leaves room for air circulation in the oven. If you are baking with several pans, leave space between them. Also, be sure the pans do not touch each other or the walls of the oven. Operating Instructions Safety Instructions Using the convection oven. Paper and Plastic Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers that are recommended for use in regular ovens can be used in convection ovens.
How to Set the Oven for Convection Roasting when Using the Probe For best results when roasting large turkeys and roasts, we recommend using the probe included in the convection oven. 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. CAUTION: To prevent possible burns, do not unplug the probe from the oven outlet until the oven has cooled. Do not store the probe in the oven.
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. 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. 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.
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. Press the CONVECTION BAKE pad. Press the COOKING TIME pad. NOTE: If your recipe requires preheating, you may need to add additional time to the length of the cooking time. Press the number pads to set the desired cooking time. Press the DELAY START pad.
The proofing feature maintains a warm environment useful for rising yeast-leavened products. How to Set the Oven For Proofing Place the covered dough in a dish in the oven on shelf B or C. NOTE: For best results, cover the dough with a cloth or with greased plastic wrap (the plastic may need to be anchored underneath the container so the oven fan will not blow it off). Operating Instructions Safety Instructions Using the proofing feature. Press the PROOF pad and then the START pad.
www.GEAppliances.com 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. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself. Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven. These thermometers may vary 20–40 degrees. NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures.
Safety Instructions The oven door must be closed and all controls must be set correctly for the cycle to work properly. Before a Clean Cycle The oven must be cool in order to set the selfclean cycle. We recommend venting your kitchen with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood during the first self-clean cycle. Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom.
