IMPORTANT SAFETYINFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

IAWARNINGi

Read all safety instructions before using the product. Failure to follow these instructions may result in fire, electric shock,
serious injury or death.

ANTI-TIP DEVICE

To reduce the risk of tipping the range, the range must be
secured by a properly installed anti-tip bracket. See installation

instructions shipped with the bracket for complete details before

• All ranges can tip.

• BURNS or other SERIOUS
INJURIES can result.

• INSTALL and CHECK the

ANTI-TIP bracket following
the instructions supplied
with the bracket.

attempting to install.
For Freestanding Ranges:

To check if the bracket is installed and engaged properly,
remove the storage drawer or kick panel and look underneath

the range to see that the leveling leg is engaged in the bracket.
On models without a storage drawer or kick panel, carefully tip

the range forward. The bracket should stop the range within
4 inches. If it does not, the bracket must be reinstalled. If the

range is pulled from the wall for any reason, always repeat this
procedure to verify the range is properly secured by the anti-tip

bracket.
Never completely remove the leveling legs or the range will not

be secured to the anti-tip device properly.
For Slide-In Ranges:

To check if the bracket is installed and engaged properly,
remove the storage drawer or kick panel and look underneath

the range to see that the leveling leg is engaged in the bracket.
For Drop-In Ranges:

To check if the bracket is installed and engaged properly, lower
the oven door and gently apply medium force at the handle end

until movement of the range is detected. Continue pressing until
the anti-tip bracket is engaged and movement stops. A small

amount of movement is acceptable at the back of the range
top, but it should be stable and not tip once the anti-tip bracket

is engaged. If it does not, the bracket must be reinstalled.
If you did not receive an anti-tip bracket with your purchase,

call 1.800.626.8774 to receive one at no cost (in Canada, call

1.800.561.3344). For installation instructions of the bracket, visit

JAWARNING I GENERAL SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS

GEAppliances.ca

Use this appliance 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.

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, unplug the range

or disconnect the 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 climb, sit or stand

on any part of the appliance.

CAUTION : Do not store items of interest to

children above a range or on the backguard of a

range-children climbing on the range to reach items

could be seriously injured.

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.

iiiil}i

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. Other

surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough

to cause burns. Potentially hot surfaces include the

cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening,
surfaces near the opening and crevices around the

oven door.

iiiiiiili_

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

iiiiiiili_

Do not use aluminum foil to line drip pans or anywhere

in the oven, except as described in this manual. Foil can
trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product

and a shock or fire hazard.

iiiiiiili_

Avoid scratching or impacting glass doors, cook tops or
control panels. Doing so may lead to glass breakage. Do

not cook on a product with broken glass. Shock, fire or

cuts may occur.

iiiiiiili_

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.

Never use your appliance for warming or heating the

room.

j ,WARNING

Do not store or use flammable materials in an oven or
near the cooktop, including paper, plastic, pot holders,

linens, wall coverings, curtains, drapes and gasoline or
other flammable vapors and liquids.

Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while
using the appliance. These garments may ignite if they

contact hot surfaces causing severe burns.

1KEEPFLAMMABLE MATERIALSAWAY FROM THERANGE

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 3

Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials

accumulate in or near the range. Grease in the oven or
on the cooktop may ignite.

Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Grease should not

be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter.

IMPORTANT SAFETYINFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

jAWARNING j IN THE EVENTOF A FIRE,TAKE THE FOLLOWING

STEPSTO PREVENTTHE FIREFROM SPREADING:

_:,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.

_:,Ifthere is a fire in the oven during baking, smother the

fire by closing the oven door and turning the oven off or

by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.

If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean, turn the

oven off and wait for the fire to go out. Do not force
the door open. Introduction of fresh air at self-clean

temperatures may lead to a burst of flame from the
oven. Failure to follow this instruction may result in

severe burns.

jAWARNING j COOKTOP SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS

Never leave the surface units unattended at medium or
high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy

spillovers that may catch on fire.

*:, Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed to

heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite resulting
in fire that may spread to surrounding cabinets. Use a

deep fat thermometer whenever possible to monitor oil

temperature.

':, Onlycertain types of glass,glass/ceramic,earthenware

orother glazedcontainers are suitable for cooktop
service;others may breakbecause of the sudden

change intemperature.

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.

To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum amount of
oil when shallow pan-frying and avoid cooking frozen

foods with excessive amounts of ice.

_:, Use proper pan size--select cookware having flat

bottoms large enough to cover the surface 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.

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

iiiiiil

If power is lost to an electric cooktop while a surface

unit is ON, the surface unit will turn back ON as soon
as power is restored. In the event of power loss, failure

to turn all surface unit knobs to the OFF position may

result in ignition of items on or near the cooktop, leading

to serious injury or death.

iA WARNING i RADIANTCOOKTOPSAFETYINSTRUCTIONScsomemodelsI

Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface
of the cooktop will retain heat after the controls have

been turned off.
Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If glass cooktop

should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers
may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a

risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician
immediately.

Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The cooktop can be
scratched with items such as knives, sharp instruments,

rings or other jewelry, and rivets on clothing.
Do not place or store items that can melt or catch fire

on the glass cooktop, even when it is not being used. If
the cooktop is inadvertently turned on, they may ignite.

Heat from the cooktop or oven vent after it is turned off
may cause them to ignite also.

iiiiiil

Use CERAHA BRYTE®ceramic Cooktop Cleaner and

CERAHA BRYTE®Cleaning Pad to clean the cooktop.
Wait until the cooktop cools and the indicator light goes
out before cleaning. Awet sponge or cloth on a hot

surface can cause steam burns. Some cleaners can

produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Note:

Sugar spills are an exception. They should be scraped
off while still hot using an oven mitt and a scraper. See

the Cleaning the glass cooktop section for detailed
instructions.

iiiiiiili_

Read and follow all instructions and warnings on the
cleaning cream label.

Usingthe convectionoven.

Theconvectionovenfan shutsoff whenthe oven door is opened.DONOTleavethedoor openfor longperiodsof time

while using convection cooking.

In a convection oven, a fan
circulates hot air over, under and

around the food. This circulating
hot air is evenly distributed

throughout the oven cavity. As a
result, foods are evenly cooked
and browned-often in less time

than with regular heat.
NOTE:To maximize cooking

evenness, the fan is designed to
rotate in both directions with a

pause in between. This is normal.

Tohelp you understand the difference between
convection bake and roast and traditional bake

and roast, here are some general guidelines.

Convection Bake

Preheat the oven. See Preheating and Pan
Placement in the Using the upper oven

section.

Idealfor foods cooked on multiple racks,
Goodfor largequantities of baked foods,

Good resultswith cookies, biscuits,brownies,
cupcakes,cream puffs,sweet rolls,angel

food cakeand bread.

Theconvection fan circulates the heated
air evenlyover and around the food.

Convection Roast

Goodfor largetender cuts of meat,
uncovered.

Theconvection fan circulates the heated air
evenly over and around the food. Meatand
poultry are browned onall sidesasif they

were cooked on a rotisserie.Heated air will be
circulated over,under and around the food
being roasted. Theheated air seals injuices

quickly for a moist and tender product while,
at the same time, creating a rich golden brown

exterior.

Roastsorpoultry should becooked onrack
position (A).

When you areconvection roasting,it is

important that you usea broiler pan and grid

for bestconvection roasting results.The pan is

usedto catch grease spillsand the grid isused

to prevent greasespatters.
B Placethe rack inrack position(A).

Cookware for Convection Cooking

Beforeusing your convection oven,check

to seeif your cookware leavesroom for air

circulation inthe oven. If you are bakingwith
several pans,leave space between them.

Also, besurethe pansdo not touch each

other or the walls of the oven.

Paper and Plastic

Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers

that are recommended for use in regular

ovens can be usedin convection ovens.
Plasticcookware that is heat-resistant to

temperatures of 400°Fcan also be used,
when oven is below 400°F.

20

Metal and Glass

Anytype of cookware will work inyour
convection oven. However, metal pans

heat the fastest andare recommended for
convection baking.

Darkened ormatte-finished pans will bake

faster than shiny pans.
Glassor ceramic panscook more slowly.

When baking cookies,you will get the best
resultsif you use a flat cookie sheet instead

of a pan with low sides.
Forrecipes likeoven-baked chicken, usea

pan with low sides.Hot air cannot circulate
well around food in a pan with high sides.

The type of margarine will affect baking performance!

Most recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you
decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher fat product.

Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low-fat spreads. The lower the fat

content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
Federalstandards require products labeled "margarine" to contain at least80% fat byweight. Low-fat spreads,on the other hand,

contain lessfat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreadsaffects the texture and flavor of baked goods. For best
resultswith your old favorite recipes,usemargarine, butter orstick spreads containing at least70% vegetable oil.

Oven Bottom

The oven bottom has a porcelain-enamel
finish. To make cleaning easier, protect the
oven bottom from excessive spillovers by
placing a cookie sheet on the rack below the
rack you are cooking on.This isparticularly
important when baking a fruit pie or other
foods with a high acid content. Hot fruit
fillings or other foods that are highly acidic

(such as tomatoes, sauerkraut and sauces
with vinegar or lemon juice) may cause pitting

and damage to the porcelain-enamel surface
and should be wiped up immediately.

" IMPORTANT - Observe all governing

codes and ordinances.

. Note to Installer- Be sure to leave these

instructions with the Consumer.

, Note to Consumer - Keep these instructions for

future reference.

, Skilllevel- Installation of this appliance requires

basic mechanical skills.

, Completion time- 1to 3 hours
, Proper installation is the responsibility

of the installer.

• Product failure due to improper installation is not
covered under the Warranty.

WARNING - Thisappliancemust be

properlygrounded.

FOR YOUR SAFETY:

Be sure your appliance is properly installed
and grounded by a qualified technician.

Make surethe cabinets and wall coverings around
the rangecanwithstand the temperatures(up to 200°F)
generated by the range.

AWARNING!

ANTI-TIP DEVICE

•All ranges can tip.

• BURNS or other SERIOUS
INJURIES can result.

• INSTALLand CHECKthe
ANTI-TIP bracket following

the instructions supplied

with the bracket.

FOR YOUR SAFETY:

A WARNING - Beforebeginning the

installation, switch power off at service panel and lock
the service disconnecting means to prevent power

from being switched on accidentally. When the service
disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely

fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag,
to the service panel.

All rough-in and spacing dimensions must be met for
safe use of your range. Electricity to the range can be

disconnected at the outlet without moving the range
if the outlet is in the preferred location (remove lower
drawer).

To reduce the risk of burns or fire when reaching over
hot surface elements, cabinet storage space above

the cooktop should be avoided. If cabinet storage
space is to be provided above the cooktop, the risk

can be reduced by installing a range hood that sticks
out at least 5" beyond the front of the cabinets.

Cabinets installed above a cooktop must be no deeper
than 13".

Toreduce the risk of tipping the range, the range must
be secured by a properly installed anti-tip bracket. See

installation instructions shipped with the bracket for
complete details before attempting to install.

To check if the bracket is installed and engaged properly,
carefully tip the range forward. The bracket should stop
the range within 4 inches. If it does not, the bracket must
be reinstalled. If the range ispulled from the wall for any
reason, always repeat this procedure to verify the range
is properly secured by the anti-tip bracket.

For free-standing or slide-in ranges, never completely
remove the leveling legs or the range will not be secured
to the anti-tip device properly.

If you did not receive an anti-tip bracket with your
purchase, call 1.800.626.8774 to receive one at no cost

(in Canada, call 1.800.561.3344). For installation

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

A CAUTION: Forpersonal safety, do

not use an extension cord with this appliance.
Remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before

beginning installation.

This appliance must be supplied with the proper
voltage and frequency, and connected to an

individual properly grounded branch circuit,

protected by a circuit breaker or fuse having

amperage as specified on the rating plate. The

rating plate is located behind the oven drawer

on the oven frame.

We recommend you have the electrical wiring
and hookup of your range connected by a qualified
electrician. After installation, have the electrician

show you where your main range disconnect
is located.

Check with your local utilities for electrical codes
which apply in your area. Failure to wire your oven

according to governing codes could result in a

hazardous condition. If there are no local codes,
your range must be wired and fused to meet
the requirements of the National Electrical Code,

ANSI/NFPA No. 70--Latest Edition. You can get
a copy by writing:

National Fire Protection Association

ALL NEW CONSTRUCTIONS,

MOBILE HOMES AND
INSTALLATIONS WHERE
LOCAL CODES DO NOT ALLOW

GROUNDING THROUGH

NEUTRAL

Use only a 3-conductor or a 4-conductor UL-listed
range cord. These cords may be provided with ring

terminals on wire and a strain relief device.
A range cord rated at 40 amps with 125/250

minimum volt range is required. A 50-amp range
cord is not recommended but if used, it should
be marked for use with nominal 13A'' diameter

connection openings. Care should be taken
to center the cable and strain relief within

the knockout hole to keep the edge from
damaging the cable.

o Because range terminals are not accessible

after range is in position, flexible service conduit
or cord must be used.

NOTE: If conduit is being used, go to Step 3D and
then to Step 6 or 7.

o On some models, a filter capacitor may be

connected between the black and white leads
on the junction block.

Effective January I, 1996, the National Electrical
Code requires that new construction (not existing)

utilize a 4-conductor connection to an electric

range.

When installing an electric range in new
construction, follow Steps 3 and 5 for 8-wire

connection.
You must use a 3-wire, single-phase A.C. 208Y/120

Volt or 2/40/120 Volt, 60 Hertz electrical system. If
you connect to aluminum wiring, properly installed

connectors approved for use with aluminum wiring

must be used.

If the electrical service provided does not meet
the above specifications, have a licensed electrician

install an approved outlet.
