Why is there a strong odor coming from my GE JB740 oven?
A strong odor from the insulation around the inside of your GE Ranges oven is normal for the first few times the oven is used. This is temporary and will go away after several uses or a self-clean cycle.
Why does my GE Ranges oven sometimes takes longer to preheat to the same temperature?
Cookware or food in the oven will cause the oven to take longer to preheat. Remove items to reduce preheat time. Adding more racks to the oven will also cause the oven to take longer to preheat, so remove some racks. The different cooking modes use different preheat methods to heat the oven for the specific cooking mode, so some modes will take longer than others (i.e. convection bake).
