WARNING!

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

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

Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon
monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or

LPfuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize
incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open

window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Have the installer show you the location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off if necessary.

Have your range installed and properly
grounded by a qualified installer, in
accordance with the Instalk_tion Instructions.

Any adjustment and service should be

performed only by qualified gas range
installers or service technicians.

Do not attempt to repair or replace any
p(]rt of your range unless it is specific(lily
recommended in this m(]nu(]l. All other service

should be referred to (] qu(]lified technician.

Plug your range into (] 120-volt grounded
outlet only. Do not remove the round

grounding prong from the plug. If in doubt
(]bout the grounding of the home electric(]l
system, it is your person(]l responsibility and

oblig(]tion to hove on ungrounded outlet
replaced with (] properly grounded, 3-prong

outlet in accord(]nce with the Nation(]l
Electric(]l Code. Do not use on extension

cord with this (]ppliance.

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path

and out of drafty locations to prevent poor
air circulation.

Be sure all packaging materials are removed
from the range before operating it to prevent
fire or smoke damage should the packaging

material ignite.

Be sure your range is correctly adjusted by
a qualified service technician or installer for
the type of gas (natural or LP)that is to be

used. Your range can be converted for use
with either type of gas. See the Installation

of the range section.

WARNING:Theseadjustments

must be made by a qualified service

technician in accordance with the

manufacturer's instructions and all codes

and requirements of the authority having
jurisdiction. Failure to follow these instructions

could result in serious injury or property

damage. The qualified agency performing

this work assumes responsibility for the

conversion.
After prolonged use of a range, high floor

temperatures may result and many floor
coverings will not withstand this kind of use.

Never install the range over vinyl tile or

linoleum that cannot withstand such type
of use. Never install it directly over interior

kitchen carpeting.

Do not leave children alone or unattended
where a range is hot or in operation.

They could be seriously burned.

Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang
on the oven door, lower oven drawer, warming

drawer or cooktop. They could damage the

range and even tip it over, causing severe

personal injury.

CAUTION:Items of interest to

children should not be stored in cabinets

above a range or on the backsplash of a

rangeichildren 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 in cabinets over the
range. Flammable material could be ignited
if brought in contact with flame or hot oven

surfaces and may cause severe burns.

Do not store flammable materials in an oven,

a range drawer or near a cooktop.

Do not store or use combustible materials,

gasoline or other flammable vapors and

liquids in the vicinity of this or any other

appliance.

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

Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick
up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.

Smother a flaming pan on a surface burner

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 foam-type fire extinguisher.

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

Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool

before touching them or leaving them where
children can reach them.

Never block the vents (air openings) of the

range. They provide the air inlet and outlet
that are necessary for the range to operate

properly with correct combustion. Air openings
are located at the rear of the cooktop, at the
top and bottom of the oven door, and at the

bottom of the range under the warming
drawer, lower oven drawer or kick panel.

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

WARNING: NEVERusethis

appliance as a space heater to heat or
warm the room. Doing so may result
in carbon monoxide poisoning and

4

overheating of the oven.

WARNING!

SURFACEBURNERS

Use proper pan s/zelavoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat
bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. Toavoid spillovers, make sure cookware is large enough
to contain the food properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations
of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can
be easily grasped and remain cool.

Always use the L/TE position when igniting
the top burners and make sure the burners

have ignited.
Never leave the surface burners unattended

at high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking
and greasg spillovers that may catch on fire.

Adjust the top burner flame size so it does

not extend begond the edge of the cookware.
Excessive flame is hazardous.

Use onlg drg pot holders- moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces mag result in burns

from steam. Do not let pot holders come near
open flames when lifting cookware. Do not use

a towel or other bulks cloth in place of a pot

holder.

When using glass cookware, make sure it

isdesigned for top-of-range cooking.

To minimize the possibilitg of burns, ignition
of flammable materials and spillage, turn

cookware handles toward the side or back
of the range without extending over adjacent

burners.

Carefullg watch foods being fried at a high
flame setting.

Alwags heat fat slowlg, and watch as it heats.

Do not leave ang items on the cooktop. The
hot air from the vent mag ignite flammable

items and will increase pressure in closed

containers, which mag cause them to burst.

If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in frging, stir together before heating or

as fats melt slowlg.

Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat begond

the smoking point.

Use the least possible amount of fat for

effective shallow or deep-fat frging. Filling the

pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when

food is added.

Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you

do flame foods under the hood, turn the
fan on.

Do not use a wok on the cooking surface
if the wok has a round metal ring that is

placed over the burner grate to support the

wok. This ring acts as a heat trap, which mag
damage the burner grate and burner head.

Also, it mag cause the burner to work

improperlg. This mag cause a carbon
monoxide level above that allowed bg current

standards, resulting in a health hazard.

Foods for frging should be as drg 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.

Never trg to move a pan of hot fat, especiallg

a deep fat frger. Wait until the fat is cool.

Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop-

theg mag melt if left too close to the vent.

Keep all plastics awag from the surface
burners.

To avoid the possibilitg of a burn, alwags be
certain that the controls for all burners are

at the OFF position and all grates are cool

before attempting to remove them.
If range is located near a window, do not hang

long curtains that could blow over the surface
burners and create a fire hazard.

If SOUsmell gas, turn off the gas to the range

and call a qualified service technician. Never

use an open flame to locate a leak.

Alwags turn the surface burner controls off

before removing cookware.
Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can

lead to damage and improper operation of the
range.

When disabling Gas/Control Lockout, make
sure the surface controls are set to the OFF

position. This will preclude gas flow when the
range is turned on.

ELECTRICWARMINGDRAWER

AND LOWEROVENDRAWERConsome models)

The purpose of the warming drawer and the
WARM ZONE setting of the lower oven drawer

isto hold hot cooked foods at serving

temperature. Always start with hot food; cold
food cannot be heated or cooked in the

warming drawer or the WARM ZONE setting
of the lower oven drawer.

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

Do not leave paper products, plastics, canned

food, or combustible materials in the drawer.

Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in or
near your drawer.
Do not warm food in the drawer for more

than two hours.

Never place, use or self-clean the lower oven

drawer pan in the upper oven.

Do not touch the heating element or the

interior surface of the drawer. These
surfaces may be hot enough to burn.
REMEMBER: The inside surface of the drawer
may be hot when the drawer is opened.

Use care when opening the drawer. Open
the drawer a crack and let hot air or steam

escape before removing or replacing food.
Hot air or steam which escapes can cause

burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
Do not use aluminum foil to line the lower

oven drawer. Foil is an excellent heat insulator
and will trap heat beneath it. This will upset

the performance of the drawer and it could
damage the interior finish.

COOK MEATAND POULTRY THOROUGHLY...

Cook meat and poultry thoroughly-meat to ot least on INTERNALtemperature of160°F and poultry
to ot least on INTERNALtemperature of l 80°E Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against

foodbome illness.

SELF-CLEANING THE UPPEROVEN

Be sure to wipe off excess spillage before

self-cleaning operation.

Before self-cleaning the oven, remove any
broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware, probe

and any aluminum foil.

Never place, use or self-clean the lower oven

drawer pan in the upper oven.

Nickel oven racks (on some models) should be
removed from the oven before beginning the

self-clean cycle.

Gray porcelainicoated oven racks (on some

models) may be cleaned in the oven during

the self-clean cycle.
Clean only parts listed in this Owner's Manual.

Do not clean the door gasket. The door gasket

isessential for a good seal. Care should be
taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions,
turn the oven off and disconnect the power

supply. Have it serviced by a qualified
technician.

iiiiiiiiiiiii!Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial

oven cleaner or oven liner 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.

GEAppliances.com

UPPEROVEN

Stand away from the range when opening the door of a hot oven. The hot air and steam that escape

can cause burns to hands, face and eyes.

Do not usetheoven fora storagearea.
Itemsstoredintheoven can ignite.

Keep theoven freefrom greasebuildup.
Placetheoven racksinthedesiredposition

whiletheoven iscool.

Pulling out the rack 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. The lowest

position isnot designed to slide.
Do not heat unopened food containers.

Pressure could build up and the container

could burst, causing an injury.

WARNING: NEVERcoverany

slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom
or cover an entire rack with materials such

as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow
through the oven and may cause carbon

monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings
may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

Do not use aluminum foil anywhere in the

oven except as described in this manual.

Misuse could result in a fire hazard or damage

to the range.
When using cooking or roasting bags in the

oven, follow the manufacturer's directions.

Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch fire.

Use only glass cookware that is recommended

for use in gas ovens.
Always remove any broiler pan from range

as soon as you finish broiling. Grease left in
the pan can catch fire if oven is used without

removing the grease from the broiler pan.

When broiling, if meat istoo close to the flame,
the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to prevent

excessive flare-ups.

Make sure any broiler pan is in place correctly

to reduce the possibility of grease fires.

If you should have a grease fire in a broiler
pan, press the Clear/Off pad, and keep

the oven door closed to contain fire until

it burns out.
For safety and proper cooking performance,

always bake and broil with the oven door

Top-of-Range Cookware

GEAppliances.com

Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is
recommended becauseit heats quickly

and evenly.Host foods brown evenly in an
aluminum skillet. Usesaucepanswith tight-

fitting lidswhen cooking with minimum
amounts of water.

Cast-Iron: If heated slowly,most skillets
will give satisfactory results.

Enamelware: Undersomeconditions,
the enamel of some cookware may melt.

Follow cookware manufacturer's
recommendations for cooking methods.

Stove Top Grills

Donot usestovetop grillson your sealed
gas burners. If you usethe stove top grillon

the sealed gas burner, itwill cause incomplete
combustion and can result in exposureto

carbon monoxide levelsabove allowable
current standards.

This can be hazardous to your health,

Glass: There are two types of glass

cookware-those for oven use only and

those for top-of-range cooking (saucepans,

coffeeand teapots).Glassconducts heat

very slowly.

HeatproofGlass-Ceramic: Canbe usedfor
either surface or oven cooking. It conducts

heat very slowly and cools very slowly.Check
cookware manufacturer's directions to be

sureit can be usedon gasranges.

Stainless Steel: Thismetal alone has poor

heating properties and isusually combined

with copper,aluminum or other metals for

improved heat distribution. Combination
metal skilletsusually work satisfactorily if

they are usedwith medium heat asthe

general guidelines.

Convection Bake

Preheat the oven. See the Using the oven-
Preheating and Pan Placement section.

Ideal for foods cooked on multiple racks.
Good for large quantities ofbaked foods.

, Good results with cookies,biscuits,

brownies, cupcakes,cream puffs, sweet
rolls, angel foodcake and bread.

Theconvection fan circulates the heated
air evenly over and around the food.

Convection Roast

Good for large tender cutsof meat,

food being roasted.Theheated air sealsin

juices quicklu for a moist and tender product

while, at the same time, creating a rich,
golden-brown exterior.

Roastsor poultrg shouldbe cooked on rack

position (A).

When you are convection roasting,it is

important that you usea broiler pan andgrid

for bestconvection roasting results.The pan

isused to catch grease spillsand the grid is
usedto prevent grease spatters.

Metal and Glass
Any type of cookware willwork in your

Federalstandards require products labeled "margarine" to contain at least80%fat bg weight. Low-fat spreads,on the

Do not clean the griddle in a dishwasher
Wash with hot, soapg water after each use

while using a sponge or dishcloth.
Ifoil or food residue is left on the griddle,

further cooking willharden the residue and
cause sticking over time. In this case, use a
nonabrasive cleanser such as Ban Ami ®or

one of the soft scrub cleansers. Applg with
a sponge, Scrunge® or other cleaning pad
labeled safe for nonstick pans.

Use onlg plastic, nylon or wooden utensils

Burner Grates

Yourrange hasthree professional-style
double grates.Thesegrates are position-

specific.For maximum stability, these grates
should only be used intheir proper position;

they cannot be interchanged left to right
or front to back. For convenience,the

undersides of the left and right grates are
marked "LEFTFRONT"and "RIGHTFRONT."

Hake surethe front portion of both grates is
in front. The middle grate hasa bow infront.

Hake surethe bowed portion istoward the
front of the range.

Cleaning
Lift out when cool. Gratesshould be washed

regularly and,of course,after spillovers.
Wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse

with clean water.When replacingthe grates,
be surethey are positioned securely over

the burners. Replacethe grates so that
continuous arcsareformed with the center

ribs of allthree grates.

Never use knives or cut food on the griddle.
Wash with hot, soap_l water offer each use.

Store carefullg to prevent scratching.

Griddle Precautions:

Ifsomething has spilled under the griddle,
it should be cleaned up as soon as possible

to prevent "baked on" food soil.

iiiiiiiii_

Do not allow grease to accumulate under
the griddle as it can be a firehazard. Clean

under the griddle as soon as it is cool. Clean
with hot soapy water

Do not place gour griddle in the microwave.

Alwablsturn offallsurface burnersbefore
removing thegriddle.Usecaution when

handling o hot griddle.

Donot operate a burner for an extended

period of time without cookware on the grate.
Thefinish onthe grate may chip without

cookware to absorb the heat.
Toget rid of burned-on food, place the grates

in a covered container.Add 1/4 cup ammonia
and letthem soak several hoursor overnight.

Wash,rinse well and dry.
Although they are durable,the grates will

gradually losetheir shine, regardlessof the
best care you can give them. This isdue

to their continual exposureto high
temperatures. Youwill notice this

soonerwith lighter color grates.

NOTE:Donot clean the grates in a self-
cleaning oven.

Cooktop Surface

To avoid damaging the porcelain-enamel
surface of the cooktop and to prevent it

from becoming dull, clean up spills right
away. Foods with a lot of acid (tomatoes,

sauerkraut, fruitjuices, etc.) or foods with

high sugar content could cause a dull spot
if allowed to set.

When the surface hascooled,wash and
rinse. Forother spillssuch asfat spatterings,

wash with soap and water once the surface
has cooled.Then rinseand polishwith a dry
cloth.

NOTE:Do not store flammable materials
in an oven, drawer or near the cooktop.

Do not store or use combustible materials,

gasoline or other flammable vapors and

liquids in the vicinitg of this or any other
appliance.

NOTE:Do not liftthe cooktop. Lifting the
cooktop con lead to damage and improper
operation of the range.

be followed to protect gour floor.

The range should be installed on a sheet of plgwood
(or similar material). When the floor covering ends at the
front of the range, the area that the range will rest on
should be built up with plgwood to the same level or
higher than the floor covering.

This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning
or servicing. Also, make sure gour floor covering will
withstand 180°F.(Seethe Installation Safety Instructions

section.)

Make sure the wall coverings around gour range can
withstand the heat generated (up to 200°F)bg the
range. (Seethe Installation Safety Instructions section.)

IMPORTANT!

Remove all tape and packaging. Make sure the
burners are properlg seated and level.

Take the accessorg pack out of the oven and/or

drawer.

Check to be sure that no range parts have come loose
during shipping.

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

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

Installation Instructions

PROVIDE ADEQUATE GAS SUPPLY

Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of 5"
of water column on natural gas or, if designed for LP
gas (propane or butane), 20" of water column.

Hake sure you are supplying your range with the type
of gas for which it is designed.

This range is convertible for use on natural or propane

gas. If you decide to use this range on LPgas, conversion
must be made by a qualified LPinstaller before
attempting to operate the range on that gas.

For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas supplied
to the regulator must be between 5" and 13" of water

column.
For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be between

10" and 13" of water column.
When checking for proper operation of the regulator,

the inlet pressure must be at least r' greater than the
operating (manifold) pressure as given above.

The pressure regulator located at the inlet of the range

manifold must remain in the supply line regardless of
whether natural or LPgas is being used.

A flexible metal appliance connector used to connect the
range to the gas supply line should have an I.D.of 1/2"

and be 5 feet in length for ease of installation. In Canada,
flexible connectors must be single wall metal connectors

no longer than 6 feet in length.

CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS

Shut off the main gas supply valve before
disconnecting the old range and leave it off until
the new hookup has been completed. Don't forget
to relight the pilot on other gas appliances when
gou turn the gas back on.

Because hard piping restricts movement of the range,
the use of a CSA International-certified flexible metal

appliance connector is recommended unless local codes
require a hard-piped connection.

Never use an old connector when installing a new range.
If the hard piping method is used, you must carefully
align the pipe; the range cannot be moved after the

connection is made.

To prevent gas leaks, put pipe-joint compound on, or

wrap pipe thread tape with Teflon* around, all male
(external) pipe threads.

A.

Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the gas line

in an easily accessed location outside of the range.

Hake sure everyone operating the range knows where

and how to shut off the gas supply to the range.

a.

Install male 1/2" flare union adapter to the 1/2" NPT
internal thread at inlet of regulator. Use a backup

wrench on the regulator fitting to avoid damage.

When installing the range from the front, remove
the 90° elbow for easier installation.

C.

Install male 1/2" or 3/4" flare union adapter to the

NPTinternal thread of the manual shut-off valve,
taking care to back up the shut-off valve to keep it
from turning.

D. Connect flexible metal appliance connector to the

adapter on the range. Position range to permit

connection at the shut-off valve.

E.When all connections have been made, make sure

all range controls are in the off position and turn on the
main gas supply valve. Use a liquid leak detector at all

joints and connections to check for leaks in the system.

WARNING: DONOTUSEA

FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.

When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig to
pressure test the gas supply system of the residence,
disconnect the range and individual shut-off valve from
the gas supply piping. When using test pressures of 1/2
psig or less to test the gas supply system, simply isolate
the range from the gas supply system by closing the

individual shut-off valve.

Electrical Requirements
120-volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded dedicated circuit

protected by a iS-amp or 20-amp circuit breaker or
time-delay fuse.

Extension Cord Cautions
Because of potential safety hazards associated

with certain conditions, we strongly recommend against
the use of an extension cord. However, if you still elect to

use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it
be a UL-listed, 3-wire grounding-type appliance extension

cord and that the current carrying rating of the cord in
amperes be equivalent to, or greater than, the circuit

rating.
Grounding
IMPORTANT--(Please read carefully)

FORPERSONALSAFETY,THISAPPLIANCEMUSTBE
PROPERLYGROUNDED.

Preferred Method

131ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (CONT.)

A. Usage Situations Where Appliance Power Cord Will

Be Disconnected Infrequently.

An adapter may be used only on a iS-amp circuit.
Do not use an adapter on a 20-amp circuit. Where
local codes permit, a TEMPORARYCONNECTION
may be made to a properly grounded 2-prong wall
receptacle by the use of a UL-listed adapter, available
at most hardware stores. The larger slot in the adapter
must be aligned with the larger slot in the wall receptacle
to provide proper polarity in the
connection of the power cord.

Temporary Method

(Adopter plugs not permitted in Conodo)

Align large prongs/slots

Ensureproper

ground ond firm
connection before

use

Ensureproper ground

existsbefore use

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a

3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard
3-prong grounding wall receptacle to minimize the

possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.

The customer should have the wall receptacle and

circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure
the receptacle is properly grounded.

Where a standard 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered,
it isthe personal responsibility and obligation of the

customer to have it replaced with a properly grounded
3-prong wall receptacle.

DO NOT, UNDERANY CIRCUMSTANCES,CUT ORREMOVE

THE THIRD (GROUND)PRONGFROM THE POWERCORD.

A word about GFCIs- GFCIs are not required or
recommended for gas range receptacles.

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs)are devices that
sense leakage of current in a circuit and automatically
switch off power when a threshold leakage level is
detected. These devices must be manually reset by the
consumer. The National Electrical Code requires the use of
GFCIsin kitchen receptacles installed to serve countertop
surfaces. Performance of the range will not be affected if
operated on a GFCI-protected circuit but occasional
nuisance tripping of the GFCIbreaker is possible.

CAUTION: Attaching the adapter

ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover
screw does not ground the appliance unless
the cover screw is metal, and not insulated,
and the wall receptacle is grounded through
the house wiring. The customer should have
the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to
make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.

When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter,
always hold the adapter with one hand. If this is not done,
the adapter ground terminal is very likely to break with
repeated use. Should this happen, DO NOT USE the
appliance until a proper ground has again been

established.

47

Installation Instructions

[] ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (CONT.)

B. Usage Situations Where Appliance Power Cord Will

Be Disconnected Frequently.

Do not use an adapter plug in these situations because
disconnecting of the power cord places undue strain on
the adapter and leads to eventual failure of the adapter
ground terminal. The customer should have the 2-prong
wall receptacle replaced with a 3-prong (grounding)
receptacle by a qualified electrician before using the
appliance.

The installation of appliances designed for mobile home

installation must conform with the Manufactured Home
Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR,Part 3280

(formerlg the Federal Standard for Mobile Home
Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD,Part 280) or,
when such standard is not applicable, the Standard

for Manufactured Home Installations, latest edition
(Manufactured Home Sites,Communities and Set-Ups),

ANSIA225.1, latest edition, or with local codes. In Canada,
mobile home installation must be in accordance with
the current CAN/CSAZ240/MH Mobile Home
