IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

IA WARNING I If the information in this manual is not followed exactly, cl fire or explosion may

result, causing property damage, personal injury or death.

- Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

- WHAT TO DO IFYOU SMELL GAS _:_ Do not try to light any appliance.

':, Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building. ':, Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions. ':, If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.

- Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.

[A WARNING l

All ranges can tip. BURNS or other SERIOUSINJURIEScan result.

INSTALLand CHECKthe anti-tip bracket following the instructions supplied with the bracket.

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 attempting

to install. To check if the bracket is installed and engaged properly, look underneath the range to see that the

rear leveling leg is engaged in the bracket. On some models, the storage drawer or kick panel can be removed for easy inspection. If visual inspection is not possible, slide the range forward, confirm the

anti-tip bracket is securely attached to the floor or wall, and slide the range back so the rear leveling leg is under the anti-tip bracket.

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. 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 GEAppliances.com (in Canada, GEAppliances.ca).

[ WARNING ]IMPORTANT SAFETYNOTICE

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.

necessary, use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam type fire extinguisher.

iiiiiil

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.

Never leave the surface burners unattended at medium or high heat settings. Foods, especially oily foods, may

ignite resulting in fire that could spread to surrounding cabinets.

*:, 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.

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 and avoid pans that are unstable

or easily tipped. Select cookware that is matched to the size of the burner. Burner flames should be adjusted so

that they do not extend beyond the bottom of the pan.

Excessive flame may be hazardous.

Always use the LITEposition when igniting the top

burners and make sure the burners have ignited.

When using glass/ceramic cookware, makesure it is suitable for cooktop service;others may break because

of 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 burners.

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

Do not use a wok with a round metal support ring. the ring may trap heat and block air to the burner resulting

in a carbon monoxide hazard.

iiiil}i

Do not attempt to lift the cooktop. Doing so may

damage the gas tubing to the surface burners resulting in a gas leak and risk of fire.

iiiiiiili_

When disabling Gas/Control Lockout (on some models),

make sure the surface controls are set to the OFF position. This will prevent unintended gas flow from the

burners.

iiiil}i

Do not use aluminum foil to cover the grates or line

any part of the cooktop. Doing so may result in carbon

monoxide poisoning, overheating of the cooktop

surfaces, or a potential fire hazard.

Sealed Gas Burners

Your gas range cooktop has sealed gas burners. They offer convenience, cleanability

and flexibility to be used in a wide range of cooking applications.

The smallest burner in the right rear position isthe simmer burner. On some models, the

right front position triple flame burner will be the simmer burner. Thisburner can be turned

down to SIM for a very low simmer setting. It provides precise cooking performance for

delicate foods such as sauces or foods that require low heat for a long cooking time.

The medium (left rear) and the large (left front) burners are the primary burners

for most cooking. These general-purpose burners can be turned down from HI to LO to

suit a wide range of cooking needs. Theextra large burner (right front, triple flame

burner, or left front burner on some models)are the maximum output burners. Likethe other

four burners, itcan be turned down from Ill to SIM for a wide range of cooking applications.

These burners are designed to quickly bring large amounts of liquid to a boil.They have

a special POWER BOILTM setting designed to be used with cookware 10 inches or larger in diameter for the extra large and !! inches or

Top-of-Range Cookware

Aluminum: Medium-weight cookwure is

recommended because it heats quickly and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in an

aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with tight- fitting lids when cooking with minimum

(]mounts of water. Cost-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will

give satisfactory results. Enamelware: Under some conditions, the

enamel of some cookwure may melt. Follow cookwure manufacturer's recommendations

for cooking methods. Gloss: There (]re two types of glass

those for top-of-range cooking (saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat

very slowly. Heatproof Gloss Ceramic: Can be used for

either surface or oven cooking. It conducts

heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check

cookware manufacturer's directions to be sure it can be used on gas ranges.

Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor

heating properties and is usually combined

with copper, aluminum or other metals for

improved heat distribution. Combination metal skillets usually work satisfactorily

if they are used with medium heat us the manufacturer recommends.

Use (] f](]t-bottomed wok.

Stove Top Grills

Do not usestove top grillson your sealedgas burners. Ifyou use the stovetop grill on the

sealedgas burner, it will cause incomplete combustion and can result in exposure to

carbon monoxide levelsabove allowable current standards.

Wok This Way

We recommend that you use a 14-inch or

smaller flat-bottomed wok. Make sure the wok bottom sits flat on the grate. They are available

at your local retail store.

Onlya flat-bottomed wok should be used.

In Case of Power Failure

In case of a power failure, you can light the gas surface burners on your range with a

match. Hold a lit match to the burner, then push in and turn the control knob to the LITE

position. Use extreme caution when lighting burners this way.

Thiscan be hazardous to your health.

Donot usea wok support ring. Placingthe

ring over the burner or grate may causethe burner to work improperly, resulting in carbon

monoxide levelsabove allowable standards. Thiscould be dangerous to your health.

Surface burners in usewhen an electrical

power failure occurs will continue to operate normally.

NOTE:If Gas/Control Lockout is in use at the time of a power failure,the surface burners

cannot be lit.

Using the griddle, consomemode sl

Your nonstick coated griddle or preseasoned

griddle (on some models)provides an extra-large cooking surface for meats, pancakes or other food usually prepared in a

frying pan or skillet.

How to Insert the Griddle

Thegriddle can only be usedwith the center

burner.To insertthe griddle, removethe center grate and replace with the griddle.

Using the Griddle

[AWARNING jF,re.ozord

The Pre-Heat setting (onsome models) is provided to

quickly preheat your griddle. Turn control down before placing food on the griddle. Cooking on the Pre-Heat

setting may result in fire. Usecare when cooking greasy foods. Spilled grease may

result in fire. Never place or store any items on the griddle, even when

it is not in use. Heat from surrounding burners can heat

the griddle and may result in fire.

Place and remove the griddle only when all grates end griddle are cool and ell surface units ere turned OFF.

Host griddled foods require cooking on a preheated surface. Preheat griddle according to this guide, then switch to the desired cook setting.

Thesize,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.)

The upper oven has 2 rack positions. ** In general, higher rack positions

yield darker external searing and lower positions yield more doneness.

For best results, the broil pan should be oriented parallel to the broiler.

[ACAUTION j To prevent burns, do not unplug the probe From the oven outlet until the oven has cooled. Do not

store the probe in the oven.

If your model has a door latch, do not lock the oven door with the latch while cooking with the probe. The latch is used

for self-cleaning only.

For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal food temperature is the best test for doneness. The temperature probe takes the guesswork out of cooking foods to the exact doneness you want.

Useof probes other than the one provided with

this product may result indamage to the probe.

Using the convection lower oven. some modelsl GEAppliances.com

The convection oven fun shuts off when the oven door is opened. DO NOT leave the door open for long periods of 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.

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

and roast, here are some general guidelines.

Convection Bake

Preheatthe oven. Seethe Usingthe oven- Preheatingand PanPlacement section.

Idealfor foods cooked on multiple racks.

Goodfor large quantities of baked foods. Good results with cookies, biscuits,brownies,

cupcakes,cream puffs, sweet rolls,angel

food cake and bread.

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

Convection Roast

Goodfor large tender cuts ofmeat, uncovered.

Theconvection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food. Heat and poultry are browned on all sidesas ifthey

were cooked on a rotisserie.Heated air will be circulated over,under and around the food

being roasted. The heated air seals injuices quickly for a moist and tender product while,

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

Roastsor poultry should be cookedon rack position (A).

When you are convection roasting, it is

important that you useu broiler pan and grid

for best convection roasting results.The pan is

usedto catch grease spillsand the grid isused

to prevent greasespatters.

Auto Recipe T"Conversion

You can use your favorite recipes in the convection oven.

When using Convection Bake, the oven will automatically convert the oven temperature from regular baking to Convection Bake temperatures.

[_ Using the number pads, enter the

temperature recommended in the recipe. Touch the Start pad.

The display will show the actual

converted (reduced) temperature. For example, if you enter a regular recipe

temperature of 350°F (177°C) and touch the .Start pad, the display will show CON

and the converted temperature of 325°F (163°C).

NOTE: This feature only converts cooking

temperatures, not cooking times. When convection roasting, the oven

temperature will not auto convert.

Cookware for Convection Cooking

Before usingyour convection oven,check to see ifyour cookware leavesroom for air circulation in the oven.If you are baking with

several pans, leavespace between them. Also, be sure the 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 used in convection ovens.Plasticcookware that isheat-resistant to temperatures of 400°F

can also be used,when oven is below 400°F.

Metal and Glass Anytype of cookware willwork in your

convection oven. However, metal pans heat the fastest and are recommended for convection

baking.

Darkenedor matte-finished pans will bake fasterthan shiny pans.

Glassor ceramic pans cook more slowly.

When baking cookies,you will get the best results ifyou usea flat cookie sheet insteadof 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.

Adjust the lower and upper oven

thermostats--Do it yourselfl

You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Useyour new oven for a few weeks to become more familiar with it. Ifyou still think your new oven is too hot or too cold,you can adjust the thermostat yourself

Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven. These thermometers may vary 20-40 degrees.

NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.

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 least 80% fat by weight. 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 or stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.

Before a Clean Cycle

Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom.

DO hand clean

DO NOT hand inside door frame clean gasket, and glass.

DO hand clean oven frame.

Forthe first self-cleancycle,we recommend venting your kitchenwith an open window

or using a ventilation fan or hood. Removeany broiler pan, broilergrid, all

cookware, probe and any aluminum foil from the oven-they cannot withstand the high

cleaning temperatures.

NOTE:

Ifyour oven is equipped with nickel

oven racks, remove them before you begin the self-clean cycle.

Ifyour oven is equipped with gray porcelain-

coated oven racks,they may be left in the oven during the self-cleancycle.

Soilon the front frame of the range and outside the gasket on the front frame will

need to be cleaned by hand. Clean these areas with hot water, soap-filled scouring

pads or cleansers such as Soft ScrubQ.Rinse well with clean water and dry. Wipe off

the flat inner door with soapy water and a

sponge. Do not clean the gasket. Thefiberglass material of the front frame gasket cannot

withstand abrasion. It isessentialfor the gasket to remain intact. Ifyou notice it becoming worn

or frayed, replace it. Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the oven

bottom. Hake sure the oven light bulb cover isin place

and the oven light isoff. IMPORTANT'.The health of some birds
