IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

WARNING ANTI-TIP DEVICE

All ranges can tip and injury could result.

To prevent accidental tipping of the range, attach it to the wall and floor by installing the Anti-Tip device supplied.

If the Anti-Tip device supplied with the range does not fit this application, use the universal Anti-Tip device WB2X7909.

To check if the device is installed and engaged properly, remove the storage drawer and inspect the rear leveling leg. Make sure it fits securely into the slot.

If you pull the range out from the wall for any reason, make sure the device is properly engaged when you push the range back against the wall. If it is not, there is a possible risk of the range tipping over and causing injury if you or a child stand, sit or lean on an open door.

Please refer to the Anti-Tip device information in this manual. Failure to take this precaution could result in tipping of the range and injury.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off a very small amount of carbon monoxide during the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

■ Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.

■Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified installer in accordance with the provided installation instructions.

■Have the installer show you the location

of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.

■Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your range unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

■Before performing any service, disconnect the range power supply at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker.

■Do not leave children alone—children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where an appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

2■ Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the door, storage drawer or cooktop. They

could damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe personal injury.

■Large scratches or impacts to glass doors can lead to broken or shattered glass.

■Do not store flammable materials in an oven or near the cooktop.

■CAUTION: Items of interest to children should not be stored in cabinets above a range or on the backsplash of a range—children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.

■Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items stored over the range. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with hot surface units or heating elements and may cause severe burns.

■Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot surface units or heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of pot holders.

WARNING!

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

■For your safety, never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.

■Teach children not to play with the controls or any other part of the range.

■Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot holders and other linens a safe distance from your range.

■Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and canned food a safe distance from

your range.

■Always keep combustible wall coverings, curtains or drapes a safe distance from your range.

■Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the range.

■Keep the hood and grease filters clean to maintain good venting and to avoid grease fires.

■Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

■Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by covering it with baking soda or, if available, by

using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foamtype fire extinguisher.

■Flame in the oven can be smothered completely by closing the oven door and turning the oven off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

■Do not touch the surface units, the heating elements or the interior surface of the oven. These surfaces may be hot enough to burn even though they are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact the surface units, areas nearby the surface units or any interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time for cooling first.

■Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening, surfaces near the opening, crevices around the oven door.

■REMEMBER: The inside surface of the oven may be hot when the door is opened.

■Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…

Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.

SURFACE COOKING UNITS

Use proper pan size—select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will also improve efficiency.

■Never leave the surface units unattended

at high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

■Do not use aluminum foil to line the drip pans or anywhere in the oven except as described in this manual. Misuse could result in a shock, fire hazard or damage to the range.

■Be sure the drip pans and the vent duct are not covered and are in place. Their absence during cooking could damage range parts and wiring.

■Only certain types of glass, glass ⁄ceramic, earthenware or other glazed containers are

suitable for cooktop service; others may break because of the sudden change in temperature.

■To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a container should be turned toward the center of the range without extending over nearby surface units.

■Always turn the surface units off before removing cookware.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

SURFACE COOKING UNITS (cont.)

■Do not immerse or soak the removable surface units. Do not put them in a dishwasher. Do not self-clean the surface units in the oven.

■When preparing flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

■To avoid the possibility of a burn or electric shock, always be certain that the controls for all surface units are at the OFF position and all coils are cool before attempting to lift or remove

a unit.

■Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge is used to wipe spills on a hot cooktop, be careful to avoid steam burns.

■Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or medium high heat settings.

■Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan.

■Use little fat for effective shallow or deep fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when food is added.

■If a combination of oils or fats will be used in frying, stir together before heating, or as fats melt slowly.

■Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.

■Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.

WARNING!

OVEN

Stand away from the range when opening the oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

■Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury.

■Keep the oven vent unobstructed.

■Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

■Place the oven shelf in the desired position while the oven is cool. If shelves must be handled when hot, do not let pot holder contact the heating elements.

■Pulling out the shelf to the stop-lock is a convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a precaution against burns from touching hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.

■When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.

■Do not use the oven to dry newspapers. If overheated, they can catch on fire.

■Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items stored in an oven can ignite.

■Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the oven when not in use.

■Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms, except as suggested in this manual. Improper installation of aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

SELF-CLEANING OVEN

Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven. Residue from oven cleaners will damage the inside of the oven when the self-clean cycle is used.

■Do not clean the door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

■Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broiler pan, grid and other cookware.

■Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before

starting the self-cleaning operation.

■If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have it serviced by a qualified technician.

■Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s Manual.

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.

How to Set

Be sure you turn the control knob to OFF when you finish cooking.

Push the knob in and turn in either direction to the setting you want.

At both OFF and HI the control clicks into position. You may hear slight clicking sounds during cooking, indicating the control is maintaining your desired setting.

A surface unit ON indicator light will glow when any surface unit is on.

1″

Not over 1 inch.

Surface Cookware Tips

Use mediumor heavy-weight cookware. Aluminum cookware conducts heat faster than other metals. Cast-iron and coated cast-iron cookware are slow to absorb heat, but generally cook evenly at low to medium heat settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly if not combined with other metals.

For best cooking results, pans should be flat on the bottom. Match the size of the saucepan to the size of the surface unit. The pan should not extend over the edge of the surface unit more than 1″.

Wok Cooking

We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed wok. They are available at your local retail store.

Do not use woks that have support rings.

Placing the ring over the surface unit will cause a buildup of heat that will damage the porcelain cooktop.

Use only flat-bottomed woks.

Do not use round bottom woks. You could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.

Home Canning Tips

Be sure the canner is centered over the surface unit.

Make sure the canner is flat on the bottom.

Use recipes and procedures from reputable sources. These are available from manufacturers such as Ball® and Kerr® and the Department of Agriculture Extension Service.

To prevent burns from steam or heat, use caution when canning.

Using the oven.

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

The oven has 6 shelf positions.

Before you begin…

The shelves have stop-locks, so that when placed correctly on the shelf supports (A through F), 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 remove a shelf, pull it toward you, tilt the front end up and pull it out.

To replace, place the end of the shelf (stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the front and push the shelf in.

CAUTION: When you are using the shelf in the lowest position (A), you will need to use caution when pulling the shelf out. We recommend that you pull the shelf out several inches and then, using two pot holders, pull the shelf out by holding the sides of it. The shelf is low and you could be burned if you place your hand in the middle of the shelf and pull all the way out. Be very careful not to burn your hand on the door when using the shelf in the lowest position (A).

How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting

Your oven is not designed for open-door cooking.

Touch the BAKE pad.

Touch the + or – pads until the desired temperature is displayed.

Touch the START/ON pad.

The oven will start automatically. The display will show PRE while preheating. When the oven reaches the selected temperature, the oven control will beep several times and the display will show the oven temperature.

To change the oven temperature during BAKE cycle, touch the BAKE pad and then the + or – pads to get the new temperature.

Check food for doneness at minimum time on recipe. Cook longer if necessary.

Touch the CLEAR/OFF pad when baking is finished and then remove the food from the oven.

Type of Food	Shelf Position
Frozen pies (on cookie sheet)	D
Angel food cake	A
Bundt or pound cakes	C or D
Biscuits, muffins, brownies,	C or D
cookies, cupcakes,
layer cakes, pies
Casseroles	C or D
Turkey	A

Center baking pans in 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, pastry 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.

Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible. If baking with more than one pan, place the pans so each has at least 1 to 11⁄2″ of air space around it. 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.

Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.

8

Aluminum Foil

Never cover the oven bottom with aluminum foil.

You can use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan and broiler grid. However, you must mold the foil tightly to the grid and cut slits in it just like the grid.

Aluminum foil may also be used to catch a spillover. To do so, place a small sheet of foil on a lower shelf several inches below the food.

Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking.

www.GEAppliances.com

Do not latch the oven door during broiling. The latch is used for self-cleaning only.

Leave the door open to the broil stop position. The door stays open by itself, yet the proper temperature is maintained in the oven.

How to Set the Oven for Broiling

Place the meat or fish on the broiler grid in the broiler pan.

Follow suggested shelf positions in the Broiling Guide.

If your range is connected to 208 volts, rare steaks may be broiled by preheating the broiler and positioning the oven shelf one position higher.

Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry or thick cuts of meat thoroughly without over-browning them.

Touch the BROIL HI/LO pad once for HI Broil.

To change to LO Broil, touch the

BROIL HI/LO pad again.

Touch the START/ON pad.

When broiling is finished, touch the

CLEAR/OFF pad.

The size, weight, thickness, starting temperature

and your preference of doneness will affect

broiling times. This guide is based on meats at refrigerator temperature.

†The U.S. Department of Agriculture says “Rare beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to only 140°F means some food poisoning organisms may survive.” (Source: Safe Food Book. Your Kitchen Guide. USDA Rev. June 1985.)
