IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
[A WARNING I
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 attempting
to install.
For Freestanding and Slide-In Ranges
To check if the bracket is installed
A child or adult can tip the range and be killed. Verify the anti-tip bracket has been properly installed and engaged.
Ensure the anti-tip bracket is re-engaged when the range is moved. Do not operate the range without the anti-tip bracket in place and engaged.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious burns to children or adults.

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.
For Drop-In Ranges
To check if the bracket is installed and engaged properly, slide the range forward, confirm the anti-tip bracket is securely attached to the rear of the
range, and slide the range back so that the anti-tip bracket slides just under
the countertop or wood block attached to the rear wall.
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).

[A WARNING i 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.

WARNING j IN THEEVENTOFA FIRE,TAKETHEFOLLOWINGSTEPS
TOPREVENT THEFIREFROM 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.
*:, If there 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.
iA WARNING j COOKTOPSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS
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.
To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum amount of oil when shallow pan-frying and avaid caaking frazen
foads with excessive amounts of ice.
Useproper pan size--select cookware having flat bottoms largeenough to cover the surface heating
element.The use of undersizedcookware will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct contact and may
resultin ignition of clothing. Properrelationship of
cookware to surface unit will also improve efficiency.
iiiiiil
Onlycertain typesof glass,glass/ceramic, earthenware
orother glazed containers are suitablefor cooktop
service;others may break because of the sudden
change intemperature.
iiiiiiili_
To minimize the possibility of burns, ignitian of flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a
container should be turned toward the center of the
range withaut extending aver nearby surface units.
iiiiiiili_
When preparing flaming foods under a hood, turn the

Good conductivity. Aluminum residues sometimes appear asscratches on the cooktop
but can be removed ifcleaned immediately. Becauseof its low melting point, thin weight
aluminum should not be used.
Copper Bottom: recommended
Copper may leaveresidueswhich can appear as scratches.The residuescan be removed,as
long asthe cooktop is cleaned immediately. However, do not let these pots boil dry.
Overheated metal can bond to glass cooktops. An overheated copper bottom pot will leavea
residuethat will permanently stain the cooktop if not removed immediately.
Porcelain Enamel on Cast Iron:
recommended if bottom of pan is coated
Porcelain Enamel on Steel:
not recommended
Heating empty pans can cause permanent damage to cooktop glass.Theenamel can melt
and bond to the ceramic cooktop.
Glass-ceramic: not recommended
Poor performance. Willscratch the surface.
Stoneware:
not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Cast Iron:
not recommended-unless designedspecifically for glass cooktops
Poor conductivity and slow to absorb heat.Will scratch the cooktop surface.
Pans with rounded, curved, ridged or warped bottoms are not
recommended.
Do not place wet pans
Do not use woks with SUppo[t
Use flat-bottomed woks
Onthe glass cooktop.
10
NOTE:Followall cookware manufacturer's recommendations when using any type of cookware on the ceramic cooktop.
For Best Results
i Placeonly dry pans on the surface
elements. Do not place lids on the surface elements, particularly wet lids.
Do not use woks that have support rings.
This type of wok will not heat on glass
surface elements,
: We recommend that you use only a flat-
bottomed wok. They are available at your local retail store. The bottom of the wok
should have the same diameter as the surface element to ensure proper contact.
Some special cooking procedures require specific cookware such as pressure
cookers or deep-fat fryers. All cookware must have flat bottoms and be the correct
size.

food.This circulating hot (]ir isevenly distributed throughout the oven cavity. As (] result,foods (]re evenly
cooked (]nd browned - often in less time th(]n with regular he(]t.
Convection Baking
Ideal for evenly browned baked foods cooked on multiple shelves.
. Good for large quantities of baked foods. . Good results with cookies, biscuits,
brownies, cupcakes, cream puffs, sweet rolls, angel food cake and bread. The
convection fan circulates the heated air
evenly over and around the food.
The Convection Fun
The convection fan is programmed to run
intermittently for maximum performance during convection bake and during
preheating. If the fan ison when the oven door is opened, the fun will stop. The fan will
resume operation when the door isclosed.
Auto Temp Conversion
When convection baking, the Auto Temp Conversion feature automatically
reduces the set temperature for optimal performance.
Increase the Convection Baking temperature setting 20°F higher for faster cooking of
large cuts of meat and poultry.
How to Set the Oven for Convection

Cookwure for Convection Cooking
Before using your convection oven, check
to see if your cookware leaves room for air
circulation in the oven. If you are baking with several pans, leave space 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
use in regular baking can also be used
for convection baking but should not be
used at temperatures higher than the
temperature recommended by the cookware
manufacturer. Plastic cookware that is heat- resistant to temperatures of 400°F can also
be used.
Metal and Glass
Any type of cookware will work inyour convection oven; however, metal pans heat
the fastest and are recommended for convection baking.
. Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake
faster than shiny pans.
. Glassor ceramic pans cook more slowly. For recipes like oven-baked chicken,
use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot circulate well around food in a pan with high
sides.
