Asked 4 years ago by joanie.

Q: QuestionIs the center burner large oval or round. Does oven come with broiler pans. Does it have air fry feature

Asked 4 years ago by Pam.

• A:Answer The center is oval, this model doesn't have an airfryer built in, just a convection in the bottom. Air fryer ovens are definitely gonna up the price a bit. I forgot whether it came with the pan since I already have several of them over the years that came with other range units.

Q: QuestionDoes the outside of the oven door stay cool while in use? What type of seal is used for the oven door?

Asked 5 years ago by Jen.

• A:Answer Hi there! Thanks for your questions. We're happy to help. The temperature of the oven door during operation is going to be entirely dependent on what temperature you're using and how long the oven is on. Since this is a cooking appliance, we should assume the surface of the door will not stay cool during operation. We do not have the specific material that the gasket is made of. If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out to us at our social pages. We hope this helps! Emily@GEA

Q: QuestionIs steam cleaning better than self cleaning for the oven? I find that self cleaning ovens crack the bottom of the oven inside!

Asked 5 years ago by Gram.

• A:Answer Hi Gram, thanks for reaching out. Steam Clean and Self Clean are both great options to help keep your oven interior looking new. A Self Cleaning cycle, while it does get very hot inside, should not cause damage to the inside of your oven. If you'd like more information about Steam Clean and Self Clean, you can see the articles on our website titled "RANGES & WALL OVENS - STEAM CLEAN / LIGHT SELF-CLEAN" and "WALL OVEN OR RANGE - TIPS FOR SELF CLEAN." We hope this helps and that you're staying safe. -Michael@GEA

Q: QuestionI bought this oven a year back and now I am having problems with the top oven heating and staying at the correct temperature...it is set on 350 or 400 but when I turn it up to preheat at a higher temperature it is showing at actually 275 or so.

Asked 5 years ago by Tina38.

• A:Answer Hi Tina38 - Thank you for reaching out to us and for your patience. We truly appreciate you choosing this double-oven range for your home and are very sorry to hear of the issues you are having with the temperature in your upper oven not properly adjusting. We are happy to offer you some guidance in this! When starting a Continuous or Timed Bake in the upper oven, after you press the Bake pad, followed by the Start pad, the oven will automatically start at 350 degrees F. If a different cooking temperature is desired, use the 1-5 number pads or Timer pad to select a different preset cooking temperature, then press Start. - The inconsistency between what you are seeing and the temperature you are setting may be since no feedback is given during a temperature change. We would recommend that you refer to page 12 of your Use and Care Manual to ensure that you are properly setting and adjusting your temperatures. If these suggestions do not resolve the issue, please reach out to us via our Contact Us page online so that we can get more details on your situation and offer you further troubleshooting support. Please include your name, address, phone number, email address, and the model and serial numbers for your appliance. We hope that this helps! -Eliza@GEA

Q: QuestionIf you cook 4 pies at the same time (2 in each oven) and at the same temperature, will they come out the same? fruit pie takes and hour to bake to get the inside cooked and thickened while the top gets golden brown. Any issue because of shorter height?

Asked 5 years ago by BakingPies.

• A:Answer Hello BakingPies, Thanks so much for reaching out. We're happy to assist you. We would recommend using the convection bake on the lower oven and placing the pies on rack positions 2 and 4. Be sure to stagger the pies so that one is not above the other. You can check out our cooking guide on page 16 of the owner's manual. https://files.bbystatic.com/oVZawSst6mH2A19PjUXAig%3D%3D/93afba3f-f3b6-4cd7-9252-6fa36cc2d84a.pdf. We hope this helps.
