GE JBS10 series, Owner'S Manual

To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn on the oven.

Preheating and Pan Placement

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. 

Preheating is necessary for good results when 

baking cakes, cookies, pastries and breads. 
The display will show “PrE” while preheating. 

When the oven reaches the selected 

temperature, the oven control will beep and the 

display will show the oven temperature.

If baking four cake layers at the same time, 

place two layers on rack B and two layers on 

rack D. Stagger pans on the rack so one is not 

directly above the other.

Baking results will be better if the food is 

centered in the oven as much as possible. 

Angel Food cake is the exception and should 

be placed on the bottom oven rack (position R). 

Follow package direction on prepackaged and 

frozen foods for pan placement. 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. Leave 

approximately 1

the front, back and sides of oven wall. 

Using the oven control, clock  

and timer features and settings.

Flashing Display - Power Outage

If a flashing time is in the display, you have experienced 

a power failure. Reset the clock. See the 

Using the clock 

and timer 

section. 

If your oven was set for a timed oven operation and a 

power outage occurred, the clock and all programmed 

functions must be reset.

Do not place foods or baking stone 

directly on the oven floor.

To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on.

Before you begin…

The racks have stop-locks, so that when placed 

correctly on the rack 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.
To replace, place the end of the rack (stop-

locks) on the support, tilt up the front and push 

the rack in. 

BURN HAZARD: 

Avoid touching the hot door 

surface when using the oven rack in the lowest 
position. Always use 2 hands and 2 mitten pot 
holders to move the rack. Pull the rack out a 
few inches and then carefully grasp the sides of 
the rack to pull it out the rest of the way.

Number of rack positions vary by 

model.
Rack position ‘R’ is for roasting 

large cuts of meat.

Using the oven.
