Preheating And Pan Placement; Aluminum Foil - GE JKS10–27 Manual Del Propietário

Using the oven.
To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
The oven has 4 rack positions.
6
Before you begin...
The racks 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 rack out to the bump on the
rack support.
To remove a rack, pull it toward you, tilt
the front end up and pull it out.
How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting
Press the Bake pad.
Press the Temp + or – pads to set the
desired temperature.
Press the Start pad.
Check food for doneness at
minimum time on recipe. Cook
longer if necessary.
Press the Clear/Off pad when
cooking is complete.
NOTE: A cooling fan may automatically turn on
and off to cool internal parts. This is normal, and
the fan may continue to run even after the oven is
turned off.

Preheating and Pan Placement

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct
temperature. Preheating is necessary for
good results when baking cakes, cookies,
pastry and breads.
For ovens without a preheat indicator light or
tone, preheat 10 minutes.

Aluminum Foil

Aluminum foil may be used to catch a spillover.
Never entirely cover a rack with
aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat
circulation and result in poor baking.
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to
catch a spillover by placing it on a lower
rack several inches below the food.
To replace, place the end of the rack
(stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the
front and push the rack in.
CAUTION: Never place cooking utensils or any other
items on the oven floor. There is a heating element
beneath the oven floor. Placing items on the oven floor
may cause the oven to overheat, resulting in damage
to the oven and risk of damage or fire to cabinets.
Type of Food
Frozen pies (on cookie sheet)
Angel food cake
Bundt or pound cakes
Biscuits, muffins, brownies,
cookies, cupcakes,
layer cakes, pies
Casseroles
If baking four cake layers at the same time,
place two layers on rack A and two layers
on rack C. Stagger pans on the rack so one
is not directly above the other.
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 two racks, stagger the pans so
one is not directly above the other, and
" between pans,
leave approximately 1 1 ⁄
2
from the front, back and sides of the wall.
