Infuse your kitchen with the sophistication of this GE electric range, featuring hot air frying. Convection oven cooks and browns more evenly, and the self-cleaning with steam cycle takes the cleaning out of your hands. This GE electric range has a dual burner cooktop letting you choose between 12" and 9" electric elements, with a fifth element warming zone.
A: Hi Wendy! Wonderful question. Any cookware used with Air Fry mode should be broil safe. A dark, solid baking pan with low rimmed sides, such as a sheet pan, is recommended for use with Air Fry. The darker pan surface promotes better browning and crisping. - Oven baking baskets and baking grids can also be used, but a sheet pan should be placed on the rack below the foods to catch any drippings if using a baking basket. More information about air frying and the cookware that you can use to get the best results, can be found on page 17 of your Use and Care manual. GE Appliances, at this moment, does not sell an air fry basket. Hope this helps! Happy cooking. -Michael@GEA
Q: How long does the oven take to preheat?
A: Yes, it heats up quickly. When it beeps you would think that it means it is at the temperature you set. Using an accurate oven thermometer, that is not the case. I am getting about 90 degrees below the temperature setting at the time of the beep. I wait another 15 - 20 minutes to get to the temperature I set. Being a new range, I am still using the thermometer to learn it's habits. There is a calibration adjustment on the range for 35 degrees plus or minus. Changing that also changes the temperature when it is at full temperature. I had to adjust mine up 5 degrees. Deceiving and not happy about it. Why beep if it is not that hot?
Q: Does the steam cleaning option require a water connect to the range?
A: No, one cup of water is poured on the floor of the oven and set the oven to steam clean. The oven has to be level so it does not pool to one spot. Range should be level before using anyway. Any water left on the bottom of the stove after cleaning should be wiped up. Steam cleaning is good for a quickie clean up after just using it. Does not clean the way the prolonged time on high heat does.
Q: Is this a true convection oven?
A: Hello. This model does not have a third element around the fan inside. It just uses the fan to circulate the heat around the food inside. We would not refer to it as True European Convection. Hope this helps. Geoff@GEA
A: Hi JohnBoy - Thank you for your interest in a new GE range. On the current models, the general rule of thumb is, if there is an Oven Light pad on the control panel, you must turn the oven light on and off using that pad. The oven interior light will not turn on when the door is opened automatically. It's designed this way so you can turn the light on to check your food without opening the door and losing the heat inside the oven. We are happy to forward your feedback to our cooking design team. We hope this helps. All our best! - Vikki@GEA
A: Hello Tedhack! Thanks for your question and interest in our range. We'd be happy to have you as part of the GE Appliances family. We found that this unit does have the self-clean feature along with the steam-clean feature. You can find more information about this on page 19 of the Use and Care manual. If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out to us at our contact page. Stay safe! Emily@GEA
A: Hi, Great questions! We're happy to see your interest in this model and we're glad we can help. Convection ovens utilize a fan that circulates hot air over, under, and around the food. In American-style convection systems, only the bake (lower) and broil (upper) heating elements are used in conjunction with the convection fan to supply the heat. This particular model has both traditional and convectional cooking modes. You can choose either option using the control panel. Have a great day! -Sylvia@GEA
Q: Are the edges and the top of the cooktop surface black?
A: Hello Stephanie, Great question! We thank you for consideration of this GE Appliance, and it'd be our pleasure to help you with this range. We found that this model has a black cooktop surface. The area surrounding the cooktop is black as well. The only other color on this range is the stainless steel finish on the handle, storage drawer and control panel. You can find more information on the finish for this range in the specifications. We hope this information helps! Thank you for contacting us. Please let us know if there are any more questions we could answer. Have a great day! -Sylvia@GEA
