The special feature modes can only be activated while the display is showing the time of day. They remain in the control’s memory until the steps are repeated. When the display shows your choice, press the START pad.
Tones at the End of a Timed Cycle At the end of a timed cycle, 3 short beeps will sound followed by one beep every 6 seconds until the CLEAR/OFF pad is pressed. This continuous 6-second beep may be canceled. To cancel the 6-second beep: Press the START pad. NOTE: On double oven models, this cancels the end-of-cycle tone for both ovens.

After Timed Baking or Roasting has automatically stopped, the programmed cook and hold will automatically start. Operating Instructions Safety Instructions Special features of your oven control.
(Designed for use on the Jewish Sabbath and Holidays.) www.GEAppliances.com The Sabbath feature can be used for baking/roasting only. It cannot be used for convection, broiling, self-cleaning or Delay Start cooking. 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.
How to Set the Oven for Broiling 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. 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. Press the BROIL HI/LO pad once for HI Broil. To change to LO Broil, press the BROIL HI/LO pad again.
Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Using the clock, timer and control lockout. To Set the Clock Make sure the clock is set to the correct time of day. The clock must be set to the correct time of day for the automatic oven timing functions to work properly. The time of day cannot be changed during a timed baking or self-cleaning cycle. Press the CLOCK pad. Press the number pads. Press the START pad. To Set the Timer Press the KITCHEN TIMER ON/OFF pad. The timer is a minute timer only.
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 Convection Bake NOTE: The convection fan will cycle on and off while cooking to best distribute hot air in the oven. In a convection oven, a fan circulates hot air over, under and around the food. This circulating hot air is evenly distributed throughout the oven cavity. As a result, foods are evenly cooked and browned—often in less time with convection heat.
Safety Instructions Grid Convection Roast ■ Good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered. Broiler pan When baking cookies, you will get the best results if you use a flat cookie sheet instead of a pan with low sides. Care and Cleaning Operating Instructions Using the convection oven. The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food. Meat and poultry are browned on all sides as if they were cooked on a rotisserie.
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. Plug the probe into the outlet in the oven. Make sure it is pushed all the way in. Close the oven door. Press the CONVECTION ROAST pad.
Safety Instructions Using the timed features for convection cooking. On double oven models, you can use timed baking or roasting in one oven while using self-clean in the other; you can also use timed baking or roasting in both ovens at the same time. 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.
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.
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 We recommend venting your kitchen with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood during the first self-clean cycle. Remove the broiler pan, broiler grid, probe, all cookware and any aluminum foil from the oven. Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom.
The oven door must be closed and all controls must be set correctly for the cycle to work properly. How to Delay the Start of Cleaning The door locks automatically. The display will show the start time. It will not be possible to open the oven door until the temperature drops below the lock temperature and the LOCKED light goes off. When the LOCKED light goes off, you will be able to open the door. NOTE: On double oven models, you can set a delay clean in both ovens at the same time.
Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the oven. How to Remove Packaging Tape To assure no damage is done to the finish of the product, the safest way to remove the adhesive left from packaging tape on new appliances is an application of a household liquid dishwashing detergent, mineral oil or cooking oil. Operating Instructions Safety Instructions Care and cleaning of the oven. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak.
Cleaning the Oven Door on the outside of the door. Do not let water drip into the vent openings. ■ If any stain on the door vent trim is persistent, use a soft abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results. ■ Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting materials containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. When surface is cool, clean and rinse. ■ Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning powders or harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.
Probe The temperature probe may be cleaned with soap and water or a soap-filled scouring pad. Cool the temperature probe before cleaning. Scour stubborn spots with a soap-filled scouring pad, rinse and dry. Operating Instructions Safety Instructions Care and cleaning of the oven. Oven shelf ■ Do not immerse the temperature probe in water. ■ Do not store the temperature probe in the oven. Oven Shelves Clean the oven shelves with an abrasive cleanser or steel wool.
Control Panel It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use. Clean with mild soap and water or vinegar and water, rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers, plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control panel—they will damage the finish. A 50/50 solution of vinegar and hot water works well. Do not use a steel-wool pad; it will scratch the surface.
