IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

iA WARNING i COOKTOPSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS

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

spillovers that may catch on fire.

iiiiiiiiiiii_i;i

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.

iiiiiiiiiiii_i;i

Useproper pan size--selectcookware having flat
bottoms large enough to coverthe surface heating

element.Theuse of undersizedcookware will expose
a portion of the surface unit to direct contact and may

result in ignition of clothing. Properrelationship of

Only certain types of glass,glass/ceramic, earthenware
or other glazedcontainers are suitable for cooktop

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

iiiiiiiiiiii_i;i

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.

iiiiiiiiiiii_i;i

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

iiiiiiiiiiii_i;i

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.

cookware to surface unit will also improve efficiency.

[A WARNING i RADIANT COOKTOPSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS

(some models)

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.

iiiiiiiiiiii_i;i

UseCERAMABRYTE®ceramic CooktopCleaner and
CERAMABRYTE®CleaningPadto clean the cooktop.

Wait until the cooktop cools and the indicator light
goes out before cleaning.A wet sponge or cloth on a

hot surface can cause steam burns.Some cleaners
can produce noxiousfumes if applied to a hot surface.

NOTE:Sugarspillsare an exception.They should be
scraped off while still hot using an oven mitt and a

scraper.Seethe Cleaningthe glass cooktop section for
detailed instructions.

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

Do not use aluminum foil to line drip pans. Foil can trap
heat or melt resulting in damage to the product and a

shock or fire hazard.

[A WARNING !

COIL COOKTOP SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS

(somemodels)

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

surface units in an oven. Doing so may cause them to
fail, presenting a burn or fire hazard.

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 coil surface unit.

4

Be sure the drip pans are not covered and are in place.

Their absence during cooking could damage range

parts and wiring.

i Do not use aluminum foil to line drip pans. Foil can trap

heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and a

shock or fire hazard.

[A WARNING [OVEN SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS

GEAppliances.com

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.

Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
Keep the oven free from grease buildup. Grease in the

oven may ignite.

Place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool.
If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let pot

holder contact hot heating element in oven.

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

[,&WARNING

(Some models)

The self-cleaning feature operates the oven at temperatures high enough to burn away food soils in the oven.

Follow these instructions for safe operation.

Before operating the self-clean cycle, remove pans,
shiny metal oven racks and other utensils from the

oven. Only gray or black porcelain-coated oven racks
and drip pans may be left in the oven. Do not use

self-clean to clean other parts, such as shiny drip pans
or bowls.

Before operating the self-clean cycle, wipe grease and
food soils from the oven. Excessive amount of grease

may ignite, leading to smoke damage to your home.

] SELF-CLEANING OVEN SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS

Pull the oven rack to the stop-lock position when
loading and unloading food from the oven. This helps

prevent burns from touching hot surfaces of the door
and oven walls.

Do not leave items such as paper, cooking utensils or
food in the oven when not in use. Items stored in an

oven can ignite.
Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. Foil

may trap or reflect heat, leading to a shock or fire
hazard.

If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the oven
off and disconnect the power supply. Have it serviced

by a qualified technician.
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.

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.

Adjust the oven thermostat--Do it yourself! GEApplionces.com

You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to
become more familiar with it. If you 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 only affect baking and roasting temperatures; it will not affect broiling or 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).
Ifyou 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 byweight. Low-fat spreads,on the other hand,
contain lessfat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor of baked goods. Forbest

resultswith your old favorite recipes,use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.

Guideline Tips

The slow cook program uses a complex series of
temperature cycling to obtain the best results. For this

reason, it is recommended that the stow cook program
be allowed to run without cancelling or restarting.

Restarting the stow cook feature while it is in progress
may result in overcooked meat.
Forjuicy and tender meat, choose cuts of meat such

aschuck roast or a bonelessblade roast. Leanercuts
of meat, such as top round, ore drier and may need

additional liquid.
Useonly glossand ceramic dishes.Metalpots and pans

tend to transfer the heat into the foods too quickly.
Match the quantity of food to the size pan. Fillthe pan

about 3/4 fullfor best results. Too large a pot allows the

steam to escape, causing foods to dry out.

, Always cover the pot with a lid or aluminum foil.

A wide range of recipes may be used in the stow cook

feature. Forbest results some adjustments may need to

be made. Forsmaller sized recipes, begin checking
at minimum time. For large recipes or when doubling

recipes, foods may be cooked for longer periods of time.
When the slow cook feature completes, the oven will

automatically switch to "warm" mode. Ifadditional stow
cook time is desired, this warm mode may be used to

obtain the extra time.
