[ 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.

IA WARNING iCOOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 usingglass/ceramic cookware, makesure it is
suitable for cooktop service;others may breakbecause
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.
iiiiiil
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.

AWARNING ] Flames that are
not covered by cookware may present a risk
of burns or clothing ignition. Never let flames
extend beyond the sides of the cookware.
Top-of-Range Cookware
Aluminum: kledium-weight cookware is
recommended because it heats quickly
and evenly. Host foods brown evenly in an
aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with tight-
fitting lids when cooking with minimum
amounts of water.
Cast-Iron: Ifheated slowly, most skillets will
give satisfactory results.
Enamelware: Under some conditions, the
enamel of some cookware may melt. Follow
cookware manufacturer's recommendations
for cooking methods.

those for top-of-range cooking (saucepans,
coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat
very slowly.
Heatproof Glass 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 as the
manufacturer recommends.
Use a fiat-bottomed wok.
Stove Top Grills
Do not usestove top grills on your sealedgas
burners. Ifyou use the stove top 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 surethe 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 use when an electrical
power failure occurs will continue to operate
normally.
NOTE:If Gas/ControlLockout is in useat the
time of a power failure,the surface burners
cannot be lit.

Upper Oven Vent
Your oven is vented through ducts at the rear
of the range. Do not block theseducts when
cooking inthe oven-it isimportant that the
flow of hot air from the oven and fresh air
to the oven burner be uninterrupted. Avoid
touching the vent openings or nearby surfaces

Aluminum Foil
GEAppliances.com
Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms.
Thefoil will trap heat below and upset the
performance of the oven. Foilcan melt and
permanently damage the oven bottom.
Damage from improper use of aluminum foil is
not covered by the product warranty.
Foilmay be used to catch spillsby placing a
sheet on a lower rack, several inches below
the food .Donot use more foil than necessary
and never entirely cover an oven rack with
aluminum foil. Keepfoil at least 1-!/2" from
oven walls to permit heat circulation.
Oven Moisture
Asyour oven heats up, the temperature change
of the air in the oven may cause water droplets
to form on the door glass.These droplets

doneness will affect broiling times.Thisguide
isintended asa general recommendation and
isbased on meats at refigerator temperature.
Preheatingthe broiler 910 minutes is
recommended.
Adjust rack position or broil setting to
achieve different results.
For greater searing and less internal
doneness:
• Preheat the broiler for 10 minutes
• Use rack positions closer to the broiler
• Use Broil Hi setting
For less searing, meat that iscooked
through and thicker cuts of meat:
• Use rack positions farther from the broiler.
•Try broil low setting.

If your model has a door latch, do not lock the oven door with the latch during convection cooking. The latch is used for
self-cleaning only.
The convection oven fan 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 Using the Upper

sections.
Idealfor foods cooked on multiple shelves.
Good for large quantities of baked foods.
Good resultswith cookies,biscuits, brownies,
cupcakes, cream puffs, sweet rolls,angel

Theconvection fan circulates the heated
air evenlyover and around the food.
Auto Recipe'" 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.
Eli Using the number pads, enter the
temperature recommended inthe recipe.
[] Touch the Start pad.
The display will show the actual
converted (reduced) temperature. For
example, if you enter a regular recipe
temperature of 3SO°F(177°C)and touch
the Start pad, the display will show CON
and the converted temperature of 325°F
(163°C).
NOTE:Thisfeature only converts cooking
temperatures, not cooking times.
When convection roasting, the oven
temperature will not auto convert.
Convection Roast
Good for large tender cuts of meat,
uncovered.
Theconvection fan circulates the heated air
evenly over and around the food. Meat and
poultry are browned on all sidesas if they

Before using your convection oven,check
to see ifyour cookware leavesroom for air
circulation in the oven. Ifyou are baking with
several pans, leavespace between them. Also,
be sure the pans do not touch each other or
the walls of the oven.
Paper and Plastic
Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers
that are recommended for usein regular
ovens can be used in convection ovens.Plastic
cookware that is heat-resistant to temperatures
of 400°Fcan also be used,when oven is below
400°F.
Metal and Glass
Any type of cookware will work in your
convection oven. However, metal pans heat the
fastest and are recommended for convection
baking.
Darkenedor matte-finished pans will bake
faster than shiny pans.
Glassor ceramic pans cook more slowly.
When baking cookies,you will get the best

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 least80%fat byweight. Lowfat spreads,onthe 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, usemargarine, butter or stick spreadscontaining at least 70% vegetable oil.
