A WARNING

COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

necessary, use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam type fire extinguisher.
■ If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean, turn the oven o1^ 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 LITE position when igniting the top burners and make sure the burners have ignited.
■ When using glass/ceramic cookware, make sure it is suitable for cooktop service; others may break because of sudden change in temperature.
■ 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.
■ Do not attempt to lil^the cooktop. Doing so may
damage the gas tubing to the surface burners resulting in a gas leak and risk of fire.
■ 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.
■ 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.

OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

NEVER cover any slots, holes, or
■ 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 leave items on the cooktop near the oven vent
which is in the center of the backguard. Items may
overheat resulting in a risk of fire or burns.
■ When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow
the manufacturer's directions.
■ Never broil with door open. Open-door broiling is not permitted due to overheating of control knobs.

SELF-CLEANING OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Before operating the self-clean cycle, remove pans, shiny metal oven racks and other utensils from the oven. Only porcelain-coated oven racks may be left in the oven. Do not use self-clean to clean other parts, such as grates.
■ 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.
■ If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the oven o1^ 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.

AWARNING WARMING DRAWER/LOWER OVEN DRAWER SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS (Some models)
■ The purpose of the warming drawer is to hold hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Bacteria will grow
very rapidly in food that is between 40 and 140°F. Do
not put cold food in warming drawer. Do not keep food in the warming drawer for more than 2 hours. Failure to
follow these instructions may result in foodborne illness.
■ Do not leave paper products, plastics, canned food or combustible materials in the drawer. They may ignite.
■ Do not touch the heating element or the interior surface of the drawer. These surfaces may be hot enough to cause burns.
■ 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 that escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
■ Do not use aluminum foil to line the warming drawer. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and will trap heat beneath it. This will upset the performance of the drawer and potentially cause a 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
is the simmer burner. On some models, the
right front position triple flame burner will be the simmer burner. This burner can be turned down to S/Mfor 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.
The extra large burner (right front, triple flame
burner, or left front burner on some models) are the maximum output burners. Like the other four burners, it can be turned down from
HI to
S/Mfor 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 BOIL™ setting designed to be used with cookware 10 inches or larger in diameter for the extra large and 11 inches or larger for the triple flame burner.
The center oval burner (on some models) is for large pots/pans or for use with the griddle.

Flames that are

Top-of-Range Cookware

Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is recommended because it heats quickly and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in on aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with tight­fitting lids when cooking with minimum amounts of water.
Cast-Iron: If heated 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.
Glass: There are two types of glass cookware—those for oven use only and
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you adjust heat. When fast heating is desired, the flame size on a gas burner should match the cookware you ore using.
Flames larger than the bottom of the cookware will not result in foster heating and may be hazardous.
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. Sto/n/essStee/;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 flat-bottomed wok.

Stove Top Grills

Do not use stove top grills on your sealed gas burners. If you use the stove top grill on the sealed gas burner, it will cause incomplete combustion and can result in exposure to carbon monoxide levels above 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.
Only a 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.
This can be hazardous to your health.
Do not use a wok support ring. Placing the ring over the burner or grate may cause the burner to work improperly, resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable standards.
This could be dangerous to your health.
Surface burners in use when 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, (on some models)

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 Nonstick and Reversible Griddle

The griddle can only be used with the center
burner. To insert the griddle, remove the center
grate and replace with the griddle.
NOTE: Do not clean the griddle In the self-cleaning oven

How to Insert the Chefs Griddle

This griddle can only be used with the left rear, front and bridge burners. To insert the griddle,
place on top of the grates so that the feet on the bottom of the griddle set between the fingers on the grates.

Using the Griddle

ÀWARNING
■ The Pre-Heat setting (on some 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.
■ Use care 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 and griddle are cool and all surface units are turned OFF.
Fire Hazard
Most griddled foods require cooking on a preheated surface. Preheat griddle according to this guide, then switch to the
desired cook setting.
■ Do not use oil on the griddle for extended lengths of time. Permanent staining and/or craze lines on the surface could result.
■ Do not overheat the griddle. Leaving the griddle burner on at
HI for an extended amount of time without food can damage the nonstick coating.
■ Avoid using metal utensils with sharp points or rough sharp edges which might damage the griddle surface.
■ Do not cut foods on the griddle.
NOTE: Your griddle will discolor over time as it becomes seasoned with use.
NOTE: Do not clean the griddle in the self-cleaning oven.

Upper Oven Vent
Your oven is vented through ducts at the rear of the range. Do not block these ducts when

may increase, which may cause them
to burst.

Power Outage

The oven or broiler cannot be lit during a power failure.
If the oven is in use when a power failure
occurs, the oven burner shuts off. This is
because the flow of gas is automatically
stopped and will not resume until power is
restored.

Preheating and Pan Placement

To change the oven temperature during BAKE cycle, press the Bake pad and then the number
pads to get the new temperature.
Check food for doneness at minimum time
— on recipe. Cook longer if necessary.
Touch the Clear/Off pad when cooking is complete.
NOTE: A cooling fan may automatically turn on and off to cool internal parts. This is normal, and the fan may continue to run even after the oven is turned off.
To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the
desired position before you turn on the oven.
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature. Preheating is necessary when convection baking and for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.
when baking on a single rack, baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible.
when baking four cake layers at a time, use racks B and D. Place the lower
pans at the back of the rack and the
upper pans to the front of the rack
shown so that one pan Is not directly
above another.
For ovens without a preheat indicator light or tone, preheat 10 minutes.
For cakes and similar foods cooked on multiple racks at the same time, convection may provide better results.
Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible.
Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the oven. If you need to use two shelves, stagger the pans so one is not directly above the other,
and leave approximately between pans, from the front, back and sides of the wall.

Aluminum Foil

GEAppliances.com
Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms. The foil will trap heat below and upset the performance of the oven. Foil can melt and permanently damage the oven bottom.
Damage from improper use of aluminum foil is not covered by the product warranty.
Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a
sheet on a lower rack, several inches below
the food .Do not use more foil than necessary
and never entirely cover an oven rack with aluminum foil. Keep foil at least 1-1/2" from oven walls to permit heat circulation.

Oven Moisture

As your oven heats up, the temperature change of the air in the oven may cause water droplets to form on the door glass. These droplets are harmless and will evaporate as the oven continues to heat up.

Broiling Guide

The size, weight, thickness, cut, starting temperature and personal preference of doneness will affect broiling times. This guide is intended os a general recommendation and is based on meats at refigerotor temperature.
Preheating the broiler 5-10 minutes is
recommended. Adjust rack position or broil setting to
achieve different results.
The oven has 5 shelf positions.
Broiling generally should take place on rack C or higher. Rack R is for roasting
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 is cooked

Using the convection oven. (on some models)
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.

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 ovens can be used in convection ovens. Plastic cookware that is heat-resistant to temperatures of 400°F can also be used, when oven is below 400°F.
Metal and Glass
Any type of cookware will work in your

fastest and are recommended for convection
baking.
■ Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake faster than shiny pans.
■ Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.
When baking cookies, you will get the best

Adjust the upper oven thermostat—Do it yourself!

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 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.
Federal standards require products labeled "margarine" to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low fat spreads, on the other hand,
contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor of baked goods. For best
results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.

When Using the Warming Drawer

The warming drawer will keep hot, cooked foods at serving temperature. Always start with hot food. Do not use to heat cold food other than crisping crackers, chips or dry cereal.
Do not line the warming drawer or pan with aluminum foil. The foil will trap heat below, and upset the performance of the oven. Foil can melt and permanently damage the drawer bottom. Damage from improper use of aluminum foil is not covered by the product warranty.
Allow approximately 25 minutes for the warming drawer to preheat.
■ Do not put liquid or water in the warming drawer.

Temperature Selection Chart

To keep several different foods hot, set the control to the food needing the highest setting.
■ The temperature, type and amount of food,
and the time held will affect the quality of the food.
■ Repeated opening of the drawer allows the hot air to escape and the food to cool.
■ With large loads, it may be necessary to use
a higher warming drawer setting and cover some of the cooked food items.
■ All foods placed in the warming drawer should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil. When warming pastries or breads, the cover should be vented to allow moisture to escape.
■ Food should be kept hot in its cooking container or transferred to a heat-safe serving dish.
