outlet only. Do not remove the round grounding prong from the plug. If in doubt about the grounding of the home electrical system, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have an ungrounded outlet replaced with a properly grounded, three-prong outlet in accordance with the National Electrical Code. Do not use an extension cord with this appliance.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

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 birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

■ Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path

and out of drafty locations to prevent poor air circulation.

■ Be sure all packaging materials are

removed from the range before operating it to prevent fire or smoke damage should the packaging material ignite.

■ Be sure your range is correctly adjusted by

a qualified service technician or installer for the type of gas (natural or LP) that is to be used. Your range can be converted for use with either type of gas. See the

Installation of

the range

section.

■

WARNING:

These adjustments must be made by a qualified service technician in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and all codes and requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or property damage. The qualified agency performing this work assumes responsibility for the conversion.

■ After prolonged use of a range, high floor

temperatures may result and many floor coverings will not withstand this kind of use. Never install the range over vinyl tile or linoleum that cannot withstand such type of use. Never install it directly over interior kitchen carpeting.

■ Do not leave children alone or unattended

where a range is hot or in operation. They could be seriously burned.

■ Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or

hang on the oven door, lower oven drawer or cooktop. They could damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe personal injury.

■

CAUTION:

Items of interest to children should not be stored in cabinets above a range or on the backsplash of a range—children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.

■ Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments

while using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items stored in cabinets over the range. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with flame or hot oven surfaces and may cause severe burns.

■ Do not store flammable materials in an

oven, a range drawer or near a cooktop.

■ Do not store or use combustible materials,

gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

■ Do not let cooking grease or other flammable

materials accumulate in or near the range.

■ Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick

up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface burner 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.

■ Flaming grease outside a pan can be put

out by covering it with baking soda or, if available, by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

■ Flame in the upper oven or lower oven

drawer can be smothered completely by closing the oven door or drawer and turning the control to off or by using a multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

■ Let the burner grates and other surfaces

cool before touching them or leaving them where children can reach them.

■ Never block the vents (air openings) of the

range. They provide the air inlet and outlet that are necessary for the range to operate properly with correct combustion. Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the oven door, and at the bottom of the range under the lower oven drawer.

■ Large scratches or impacts to glass doors

can lead to broken or shattered glass.

SURFACE BURNERS

Use proper pan size—avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. To avoid spillovers, make sure cookware is large enough to contain the food properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped and remain cool.

■ Always use the

LITE

position when igniting the top burners and make sure the burners have ignited.

■ Never leave the surface burners unattended

at high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

■ Adjust the top burner flame size so it

does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous.

■ Use only dry pot holders— moist or damp

pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders come near open flames when lifting cookware. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a pot holder.

■ When using glass cookware, make sure it

is designed for top-of-range cooking.

■ To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition

of flammable materials and spillage, turn cookware handles toward the side or back of the range without extending over adjacent burners.

■ Carefully watch foods being fried at a high

flame setting.

■ Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.

■ Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The

hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items and will increase pressure in closed containers, which may cause them to burst.

■ If a combination of oils or fats will be used

in frying, stir together before heating or as fats melt slowly.

■ Use a deep fat thermometer whenever

possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.

■ Use the least possible amount of fat for

effective shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when food is added.

■ Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you

do flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

■ Do not use a wok on the cooking surface

if the wok has a round metal ring that is placed over the burner grate to support the wok. This ring acts as a heat trap, which may damage the burner grate and burner head. Also, it may cause the burner to work improperly. This may cause a carbon monoxide level above that allowed by current standards, resulting in a health hazard.

■ Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.

Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan.

■ Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially

a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.

■ Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop—

they may melt if left too close to the vent.

■ Keep all plastics away from the surface

burners.

■ To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be

certain that the controls for all burners are at the

OFF

position and all grates are cool

before attempting to remove them.

■ If range is located near a window, do not

hang long curtains that could blow over the surface burners and create a fire hazard.

■ If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range

and call a qualified service technician. Never use an open flame to locate a leak.

■ Always turn the surface burner controls off

before removing cookware.

■ Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop

can lead to damage and improper operation of the range.

■ When disabling Gas/Control Lockout, make

sure the surface controls are set to the

OFF

position. This will preclude gas flow when the range is turned on

WARNING!

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

■ Be sure to wipe off excess spillage before

self-cleaning operation.

■ Before self-cleaning the oven, remove any

broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware, probe and any aluminum foil.

■ Never place, use or self-clean the lower oven

drawer pan in the upper oven.

■ The gray porcelain-coated oven shelves may

be cleaned in the oven during the self-clean cycle.

■ Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s

Manual.

■ 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.

■ If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions,

turn the oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have it serviced by a qualified technician.

■ Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial

oven cleaner or oven liner of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven. Residue from oven cleaners will damage the inside of the oven when the self-clean cycle is used.

SELF-CLEANING THE UPPER OVEN

COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…

Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.

■ The purpose of the warm setting of the

lower oven drawer is to hold hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Always start with hot food; cold food cannot be heated or cooked using the warm setting of the lower oven drawer.

■ Do not use the drawer to dry newspapers.

If overheated, they can catch on fire.

■ Do not leave paper products, plastics,

canned food or combustible materials in the drawer.

■ Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in

or near your drawer.

■ Do not warm food in the drawer for more

than two hours.

■ Never place, use or self-clean the lower oven

drawer pan in the upper oven.

■

Do not touch the heating element or the interior surface of the drawer.

These

surfaces may be hot enough to burn.

REMEMBER:

The inside surface of the drawer may be hot when the drawer is opened.

■ 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 which escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

■ Do not use aluminum foil to line the lower

oven drawer. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and will trap heat beneath it. This will upset the performance of the drawer and it could damage the interior finish.

■ Do not use the oven for a storage area.

Items stored in the oven can ignite.

■ Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

■ Place the oven shelves in the desired

position while the oven is cool.

■ Pulling out the shelf to the stop-lock is a

convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a precaution against burns from touching hot surfaces of the door or oven walls. The lowest position is not designed to slide.

■ Do not heat unopened food containers.

Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury.

■ Do not use aluminum foil anywhere in the

oven except as described in this manual. Misuse could result in a fire hazard or damage to the range.

■ When using cooking or roasting bags in the

oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.

■ Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.

If overheated, they can catch fire.

■ Use only glass cookware that is

recommended for use in gas ovens.

■ Always remove any broiler pan from range as

soon as you finish broiling. Grease left in the pan can catch fire if oven is used without removing the grease from the broiler pan.

■ When broiling, if meat is too close to the

flame, the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to prevent excessive flare-ups.

■ Make sure any broiler pan is in place

correctly to reduce the possibility of grease fires.

■ If you should have a grease fire in a broiler

pan, press the

CLEAR/OFF

pad, and keep the oven door closed to contain fire until it burns out.

■ For safety and proper cooking performance,

always bake and broil with the oven door closed.

■ Never place, use or self-clean the lower oven

drawer pan in the upper oven.

Stand away from the range when opening the door of a hot oven. The hot air and steam that escape can cause burns to hands, face and eyes.

UPPER OVEN

WARNING:

NEVER

cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.

How to Light a Gas Surface Burner

Make sure all the surface burners are placed in their respective positions.

Push the control knob in and turn it to the

LITE

position.

You will hear a little

clicking

noise— the sound of the electric spark igniting the burner.

Turn the knob to adjust the flame size. If the knob stays at

LITE,

it will continue

to click.

When one burner is turned to

LITE,

all the burners spark. Do not attempt to disassemble or clean around any burner while another burner is on. An electric shock may result, which could cause you to knock over hot cookware.

Push the control knob in and turn it to the LITE position.

How to Select Flame Size

For safe handling of cookware, never let the flames extend up the sides of the cookware.

Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat. When fast heating is desired, the flame size on a gas burner should match the cookware you are using.

Flames larger than the bottom of the cookware will not result in faster heating of the cookware and could be hazardous.

Before Lighting a Gas Burner

■ Make sure all burners are in place.

■ Make sure all grates on the range are

properly placed before using any burner.

■ If your range has the Gas/Control

Lockout feature, make sure it is disabled before attempting to light the surface burners.

After Lighting a Gas Burner

■ Do not operate the burner for an

extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.

■ Be sure the burners and grates are cool

before you place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or other materials on them.

Sealed Gas Burners

Your gas range cooktop has five 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. This burner can be turned down to LOfor 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 extra large (left front) burners are the primary burners for most cooking. These general-purpose burners can be turned down from HIto

to suit a wide range of cooking needs. The extra large (left front) burner also has a special

POWER BOIL

™

setting designed to be used with cookware 10 inches or larger in diameter.

The dual flame extra large burner (right front) is the maximum output burner. Like the other four burners, it can be turned down from HIto LOfor a wide range of cooking applications; however, this burner is designed to quickly bring large amounts of liquid to a boil. It has a special

POWER BOIL

™

setting designed to be used with cookware 10 inches or larger in diameter.

The center oval burner is the largest in size and is for large oval pots/pans, round pots/pans 10” or greater in diameter or with the griddle.

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.

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.

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.

This can be hazardous to your health.

Top-of-Range Cookware

Aluminum:

Medium-weight cookware is recommended because it heats quickly and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in an 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 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.

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

IMPORTANT NOTES:

■

Avoid cooking extremely greasy foods and be careful of grease spill-over while cooking.

■

Do not use oil on the griddle for extended lengths of time. Permanent staining and/or craze lines on the surface could result.

■

Never place or store any items on the griddle, even when it is not in use. The griddle can become heated when using the surrounding burners.

■

Do not overheat the griddle. Leaving the griddle burner on at HI for an extended amount of time without food can damage the non-stick coating

■

Avoid using metal utensils with sharp points pr rough sharp edges which might damage the griddle surface.

■

Do not cut foods on the griddle.

Using the upper oven.

To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on.

Before you begin…

The shelves have stop-locks, so that when placed correctly on the shelf supports (A through E), they will stop before coming completely out, and will not tilt.

When placing and removing cookware, pull the shelf out to the bump on the shelf support.

To remove a shelf,

pull it toward you, tilt the

front end up and pull it out.

To replace,

place the end of the shelf (stoplocks) on the support, tilt up the front and push the shelf in.

NOTE: The shelf is not designed to slide out at the special low shelf (R) position.

The oven has 5 shelf positions. It also has a special low shelf

position (R) for extra large items, such as a large turkey.

Power Outage

CAUTION: Do not make any attempt to operate the

electric ignition oven during an electrical power failure.

The oven or broiler cannot be lit during a power failure. Gas will not flow unless the glow bar is hot.

If the oven is in use when a power failure occurs, the oven burner shuts off and cannot be re-lit until power is restored. This is because the flow of gas is automatically stopped and will not resume when power is restored until the glow bar has reached operating temperature.

Upper Oven Light

Touch the

OVEN LIGHT

pad to turn the light

on or off.

Upper Oven Vent

Your oven is vented through ducts at the rear of the range. Do not block these ducts when cooking in the oven—it is important 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 during oven or broiler operation—they may become hot.

■

Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop may become hot if left too close to the vent.

■

Do not leave plastic or flammable items on the cooktop—they may melt or ignite if left too close to the vent.

■

Do not leave closed containers on the cooktop. The pressure in closed containers may increase, which may cause them to burst.

■

Metal items will become very hot if they are left on the cooktop, and could cause burns.

Plastic items on the cooktop may melt if left too close to the vent.

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.

For ovens without a preheat indicator light or tone, preheat 7 minutes.

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 11⁄2″ between pans, from the front, back and sides of the wall.

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.

The oven has a special low shelf (R) position just above the oven bottom. Use it when extra cooking space is needed, for example, when cooking a large turkey. The shelf is not designed to slide out at this position.

ge.com

Aluminum Foil

Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of the oven.

Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking.

A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch a spillover by placing it on a lower shelf several inches below the food.

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.

Use of probes other than the one provided with this product may result in damage to the probe.

Use the handles of the probe and plug when inserting and removing them from the food and outlet.

■

To avoid damaging your probe, do not use tongs to pull on the cable when removing it.

■

To avoid breaking the probe, make sure food is completely defrosted before inserting.

■

To prevent possible burns, do not unplug the probe from the outlet until the oven has cooled.

■

Never leave your probe inside the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.

■

Do not store the probe in the oven.

The temperature probe has a skewer-like probe at one end and a plug at the other end that goes into the outlet in the oven.

After preparing the meat and placing it on a trivet or on a broiler pan grid, follow these directions for proper probe placement.

Insert the probe completely into the meat. It should not touch the bone, fat or gristle.

For roasts with no bone, insert the probe into the meatiest part of the roast. For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the center of the lowest large muscle.

Insert the probe into the center of dishes such as meat loaf or casseroles.

Insert the probe into the meatiest part of the inner thigh from below and parallel to the leg of a whole turkey.

Using the convection oven.

ge.com

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.

To help you understand the difference between convection bake and roast and traditional bake and roast, here are some general guidelines.

Convection Bake

■

Preheat the oven. See the Using the Oven– Preheating and Pan Placement section.

■

Ideal for 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.

Convection Roast

■

Good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.

The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food. Meat and poultry are browned on all sides as if they were cooked on a rotisserie. Heated air will be circulated over, under and around the food being roasted. The heated air seals in juices quickly for a moist and tender product while, at the same time, creating a rich golden brown exterior.

Roasts or poultry should be cooked on shelf position (A).

When you are convection roasting, it is important that you use a broiler pan and grid for best convection roasting results. The pan is used to catch grease spills and the grid is used to prevent grease spatters.

■

Place the shelf in shelf position (A).

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.

NOTE: To maximize cooking evenness, the fan is designed to rotate in both directions with a pause in between. This is normal.

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.

Using the number pads, enter the temperature recommended in the recipe.

Touch the

START

pad.

The display will show the temperature you entered from your recipe. The oven will automatically convert it to the convection cooking temperature.

Touch the

CLEAR/OFF

pad when

baking is finished.

■

Use pan size recommended in the recipe.

■

Some package instructions for frozen casseroles, main dishes or baked goods have been developed using commercial convection ovens. For best results in this oven, preheat the oven and use the temperature, for regular baking, on the package.

Cookware 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 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 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.

■

Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.

When baking cookies, you will get the best results if you use a flat cookie sheet instead of a pan with low sides.

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.

How to Set the Upper Oven for Convection Baking or Roasting

Touch the

CONVECTION BAKE MULTI/

1 RACK

pad once for multi-rack convection baking. This mode is used for cooking food items on more than one rack (i.e., 2, 3 or more racks) at the same time in convection bake. See the

Multi-Shelf Baking

section for more

information. Touch the

CONVECTION

BAKE MULTI/1 RACK

Touch the

CLEAR/OFF

pad when

finished.

NOTE: You will hear a fan while cooking with convection. The fan will stop when the door is opened but the heat will not turn off.

The fan will not start until the preheat temperature is reached.

In convection bake modes, for maximum cooking evenness, the fan is designed to rotate in both directions with a pause in between. This is normal.

Multi-Shelf Baking

The number of shelves provided depends on your model.

Because heated air is circulated evenly throughout the oven, foods can be baked with excellent results using multiple shelves.

Multi-shelf baking may increase cook times slightly for some foods but the overall result is time saved. Cookies, muffins, biscuits and other quick breads give very good results with multi-shelf baking.

To cook food on more than one shelf in convection bake, use

CONVECTION BAKE

MULTI.

When baking larger foods on 3 shelves, place one shelf in the 2nd (A) position, one on the 4th (C) position and the third shelf in the 6th (E) position.

When baking cookies, place the shelves in the 3rd (B), 4th (C) and 6th (E) positions.

When convection baking with only 1 shelf, follow the shelf positions recommended in the Using the Oven section.

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.

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.

The oven door must be closed and all controls set correctly for the cycle to work properly.

Before a Clean Cycle

For the first self-clean cycle, we recommend venting your kitchen with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

Remove any broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware, probe and any aluminum foil from the oven—they cannot withstand the high cleaning temperatures.

NOTE:

■ The gray porcelain-coated oven shelves

may be left in the oven during the self-clean cycle.

Soil on the front frame of the range and outside the gasket on the door will need to be cleaned by hand. Clean these areas with hot water, soap-filled scouring pads or cleansers such as Soft Scrub®. Rinse well with clean water and dry.

Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass material of the oven door gasket cannot withstand abrasion. It is essential for the gasket to remain intact. If you notice it becoming worn or frayed, replace it.

Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the oven bottom.

Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place and the oven light is off.

IMPORTANT:

The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another well ventilated room.

NOTE: Use caution when opening the upper oven after the self-clean cycle has ended. The oven may still be hot.

Burner Grates

Your range has three professional-style double grates. These grates are positionspecific. For maximum stability, these grates should only be used in their proper position. For convenience, the undersides of the side grates are marked “OUTSIDE.” Make sure the front portion of both grates is in front. The center grate can be interchanged front to back.

Cleaning

Lift out when cool. Grates should be washed regularly and, of course, after spillovers. Wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. When replacing the grates, be sure they are positioned securely over the burners. Replace the grates so that straight lines are formed with the center ribs of all three grates.

Do not operate a burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.

To get rid of burned-on food, place the grates in a covered container. Add 1/4 cup ammonia and let them soak several hours or overnight. Wash, rinse well and dry.

Although they are durable, the grates will gradually lose their shine, regardless of the best care you can give them. This is due to their continual exposure to high temperatures. You will notice this sooner with lighter color grates.

NOTE: The grates may also be cleaned in a self-cleaning oven.

If one or more of the circular black silicone grate support bumpers in the cooktop are missing or damaged, replacement parts can be obtained by calling 1.800.GE.CARES. To insert the new bumpers, simply insert the cone shaped end and push down while gently twisting or rocking the bumper.

Cooktop Surface

To avoid damaging the stainless steel surface of the cooktop and to prevent it from becoming dull, clean up spills right away. Foods with a lot of acid (tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, etc.) or foods with high sugar content could cause a dull spot if allowed to set.

When the surface has cooled, wash and rinse. For other spills such as fat spatterings, etc., wash with soap and water once the surface has cooled. Then rinse and polish with a dry cloth.

NOTE: Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can lead to damage and improper operation of the range.

NOTE: Do not store flammable materials in an oven, drawer or near the cooktop. Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

The grates may be cleaned in a dishwasher.

Appearance may vary.

Outside grate

Center grate

Griddle

NOTES:

■

The griddle is to be used over the center burner only.

■

Do not clean the griddle in a self-cleaning oven.

■

Do not clean the griddle in a dishwasher.

■

Wash with hot, soapy water after each use while using a sponge or dishcloth.

■

If oil or food residue is left on the griddle, further cooking will harden the residue and cause sticking over time. In this case, use a non-abrasive cleanser such as Bon Ami®or one of the soft scrub cleansers. Apply with a sponge, Scrunge®or other cleaning pad labeled safe for non-stick pans

■

Use only plastic, nylon or wooden utensils or SilverStone®kitchen tools to prevent marring of the coating.

■

Never use knives or cut food on the griddle. Wash with hot, soapy water after each use. Store carefully to prevent scratching.

Griddle Precautions:

■

If something has spilled under the griddle, it should be cleaned up as soon as possible to prevent “baked on” food soil.

■

Do not allow grease to accumulate under the griddle as it can be a fire hazard. Clean under the griddle as soon as it is cool. Clean with hot soapy water.

■

Do not place your griddle in the microwave.

■

Always turn off all surface burners before removing the griddle. Use caution when handling a hot griddle.

Unlock the touch pads after cleaning.

Vent appearance and location vary.

Lower Control Panel (Front Manifold Panel) and Knobs

It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use of the oven. Use a damp cloth to clean or rinse. For cleaning, use mild soap and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water. For rinsing, use clean water. Polish dry with a soft cloth.

Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleaners, plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control panel—they will damage the finish.

Do not try to bend knobs by pulling them up or down or by hanging a towel or other such loads. This can damage the gas valve shaft.

The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning.

Make sure the knobs are in the

OFF

positions and pull them straight off the stems for cleaning.

The knobs can be cleaned in a dishwasher or they may also be washed with soap and water. Make sure the insides of the knobs are dry before replacing.

Replace the knobs in the

Stainless Steel Surfaces

(on some models)

Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.

IMPORTANT: APPLY A PROTECTIVE COAT OF CERAMA BRYTE®STAINLESS STEEL BRIGHTENER BEFORE USING.

This will help you to maintain the brightness and appearance of your stainless steel range.

■ In order to avoid any discolorations

and/or grease stains, we recommend cleaning and removing any spills, spots and grease from the range after use.

■ It is important to use a soft cloth or paper

towel every time the range is cleaned to avoid any scratches.

Read carefully the instructions on the back of the Brightener for better results.

Cleaning Instructions:

Remove grates.

Wash using warm, soapy water:

Wet soft cloth or paper towel (avoid using excessive water).

Wipe the surface in the direction of the grain (following the steel lines).

Rinse and wring out a soft cloth or paper towel and dry the range.

Apply a degreaser that does not contain sodium hydroxide or Stainless Steel Cleaner (follow instructions).

Apply Cerama Bryte

Lift-Off Oven Door

The oven door is removable, but it is heavy. You may need help removing and replacing the door.

To remove the door,

open it a few inches to the special stop position that will hold the door open. Grasp firmly on each side and lift the door straight up and off the hinges.

NOTE: Be careful not to place hands between the hinge and the oven door frame as the hinge could snap back and pinch fingers.

To replace the door,

make sure the hinges are in the special stop position. Position the slots in the bottom of the door squarely over the hinges. Then lower the door slowly and evenly over both hinges at the same time. If the hinges snap back against the oven frame, pull them back out.

To clean the inside of the door:

■ Do not allow excess water to run into

any holes or slots in the door.

■ Because the area inside the gasket is

cleaned during the self clean cycle, you do not need to clean this by hand. Any soap left on the liner causes additional stains when the oven is heated.

■ The area outside the gasket can be

cleaned with a soap-filled plastic scouring pad.

To clean the outside of the door:

■ Use soap and water to thoroughly clean

the top, sides and front of the oven door. Rinse well. You may also use a glass cleaner to clean the glass on the outside of the door.

■ Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato

sauces and basting materials containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. When the surface is cool, clean and rinse.

■ Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing

powders or harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.

Lift the door straight up and off the hinges.

The gasket is designed with a gap at the bottom to allow for proper air circulation.

Do not rub or clean the door gasket—it has an extremely low resistance to abrasion.

If you notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or damaged in any way or if it has become displaced on the door, you should have it replaced.

Troubleshooting Tips

Oven Bottom

The oven bottom has a porcelain enamel finish. To make cleaning easier, protect the oven bottom from excessive spillovers by placing a cookie sheet on the shelf below the shelf you are cooking on. This is particularly important when baking a fruit pie or other foods with a high acid content. Hot fruit fillings or other foods that are highly acidic (such as tomatoes, sauerkraut and sauces with vinegar or lemon juice) may cause pitting and damage to the porcelain enamel surface and should be wiped up immediately.

We don’t recommend using aluminum foil on the oven bottom. It can affect air flow if the holes are blocked and it can concentrate heat at the bottom of the oven, resulting in poor baking performance.

To clean up spillovers, use soap and water, an abrasive cleaner or soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse well to remove any soap before self-cleaning.

Oven Shelves and Drawer Racks

The gray porcelain-coated shelves may be cleaned in the oven during the self-clean cycle.

They may also be cleaned by using an abrasive cleanser. After cleaning, rinse the shelves with clean water and dry with a clean cloth. If the shelves ever become hard to slide, wipe the shelf edges or oven shelf supports with vegetable oil.

Oven Light Replacement

CAUTION: Before replacing your oven light bulb,

disconnect the electrical power to the range at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel. Be sure to let the light cover and bulb cool completely.

The oven light bulb is covered with a removable glass cover that is held in place with a bail-shaped wire. Remove the oven door, if desired, to reach cover easily.

To remove:

Hold a hand under the cover so it doesn’t fall when released. With fingers of the same hand, firmly push back the wire cover holder. Lift off the cover.

Do not remove any screws to remove the cover.

Do not touch hot bulb with a wet cloth. Replace bulb with a 40-watt household appliance bulb.

To replace cover:

Place it into the groove of the light receptacle. Pull the wire forward to the center of the cover until it snaps into place. When in place, the wire holds the cover firmly. Be certain the wire is in the depression in the center of the cover.

Connect electrical power to the range.

Wire cover holder.

Removable Lower Oven Drawer Pan

NOTE: Allow lower oven drawer to cool before

removing pan.

NOTE: Wipe spills promptly after each use.

■ Never place, use or self-clean the lower

oven drawer pan in the upper oven.

■ Lower oven drawer has a removable pan

for easy cleaning. Clean with hot soapy water and a sponge or dish towel. Dry with a clean cloth. An oven cleaner, such as Easy-Off®, may also be used. Be sure to follow the directions on the oven cleaner. Replace the pan in the lower oven drawer.

NOTE: Before performing any adjustments, cleaning or service, disconnect the range electrical power supply at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker. Make sure drawer heating element is cool.

Removable Lower Oven Drawer

Most cleaning can be done with the drawer in place. However, the drawer may be removed if further cleaning is needed. Use soap and warm water to thoroughly clean.

To remove the drawer:

Pull the drawer straight out until it stops.

Press the tabs on both sides in while pulling the drawer forward and free.

To replace the drawer:

Place the left drawer rail around the inner left rail guide and slide it in slightly to hook it.

WARNING!

ANTI-TIP DEVICE

All ranges can tip and injury could result.

To prevent accidental tipping of the range, attach an approved Anti-Tip device to the wall. (See

Installing the Anti-Tip Device

in this section.) To check if the device is installed and engaged properly, carefully tip the range forward. The Anti-Tip device should engage and prevent the range from tipping over.

If you pull the range out from the wall for any reason, make sure the Anti-Tip device is engaged when you push the range back against the wall.

■ For your safety, never use your range for warming or heating the room. Your oven and cooktop are not designed to heat your kitchen. Top burners should not be operated without cookware on the grate. Such abuse could result in fire and damage to your range and will void your warranty.

■ Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Explosions or fires could result.

■ Do not use oven for a storage area. Items stored in the oven can ignite.

■ Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the range.

LOCATION

Do not locate the range where it may be subject to strong drafts. Any openings in the floor or wall behind the range should be sealed. Make sure the openings around the base of the range that supply fresh air for combustion and ventilation are not obstructed by carpeting or woodwork.

Your range, like many other household items, is heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting. Use care when moving the range on this type of flooring. It is recommended that the following simple and inexpensive instructions be followed to protect your floor.

The range should be installed on a sheet of plywood (or similar material). When the floor covering ends at the front of the range, the area that the range will rest on should be built up with plywood to the same level or higher than the floor covering.

This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning or servicing. Also, make sure your floor covering will withstand 180°F. (See the

Installation Safety Instructions

section.)

Make sure the wall coverings around your range can withstand the heat generated (up to 200°F) by the range. (See the

Installation Safety Instructions

section.)

IMPORTANT!

Remove all tape and packaging. Make sure the burners are properly seated and level.

Take the accessory pack out of the oven and/or drawer.

Check to be sure that no range parts have come loose during shipping.

Installation Instructions

PROVIDE ADEQUATE GAS SUPPLY

Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of 5″ of water column on natural gas or, if designed for LP gas (propane or butane), 10 ″ of water column.

Make sure you are supplying your range with the type of gas for which it is designed.

This range is convertible for use on natural or propane gas. If you decide to use this range on LP gas, conversion must be made by a qualified LP installer before attempting to operate the range on that gas.

For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas supplied to the regulator must be between 5″ and 13″ of water column.

For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be between 10″ and 13″ of water column.

When checking for proper operation of the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least 1″ greater than the operating (manifold) pressure as given above.

The pressure regulator located at the inlet of the range manifold must remain in the supply line regardless of whether natural or LP gas is being used.

A flexible metal appliance connector used to connect the range to the gas supply line should have an I.D. of 1/2″ and be 5 feet in length for ease of installation. In Canada, flexible connectors must be single wall metal connectors no longer than 6 feet in length.

CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS

Shut off the main gas supply valve before disconnecting the old range and leave it off until the new hook-up has been completed. Don’t forget to relight the pilot on other gas appliances when you turn the gas back on.

Because hard piping restricts movement of the range, the use of a CSA International-certified flexible metal appliance connector is recommended unless local codes require a hard-piped connection.

Never use an old connector when installing a new range. If the hard piping method is used, you must carefully align the pipe; the range cannot be moved after the connection is made.

To prevent gas leaks, put pipe joint compound on, or wrap pipe thread tape with Teflon* around, all male (external) pipe threads.

A. Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the gas line

in an easily accessed location outside of the range. Make sure everyone operating the range knows where and how to shut off the gas supply to the range.

B. Install male 1/2″ flare union adapter to the 1/2″

NPT internal thread at inlet of regulator. Use a backup wrench on the regulator fitting to avoid damage.

When installing the range from the front, remove the 90° elbow for easier installation.

C. Install male 1/2″ or 3/4″ flare union adapter to the

NPT internal thread of the manual shut-off valve, taking care to back-up the shut-off valve to keep it from turning.

D. Connect flexible metal appliance connector to the

adapter on the range. Position range to permit connection at the shut-off valve.

E. When all connections have been made, make sure

all range controls are in the off position and turn on the main gas supply valve. Use a liquid leak detector at all joints and connections to check for leaks in the system.

When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig to pressure test the gas supply system of the residence, disconnect the range and individual shut-off valve from the gas supply piping. When using test pressures of 1/2 psig or less to test the gas supply system, simply isolate the range from the gas supply system by closing the individual shut-off valve.

Electrical Requirements

120-volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded dedicated circuit protected by a 15-amp or 20-amp circuit breaker or time delay fuse.

Extension Cord Cautions

Because of potential safety hazards associated with certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord. However, if you still elect to use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed, 3-wire grounding-type appliance extension cord and that the current carrying rating of the cord in amperes be equivalent to, or greater than, the circuit rating.

Grounding

IMPORTANT—(Please read carefully)

FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard three-prong grounding wall receptacle to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.

The customer should have the wall receptacle and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.

Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD.

A word about GFCI’s – GFCI’s are not required or recommended for gas range receptacles.

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI’s) are devices that sense leakage of current in a circuit and automatically switch off power when a threshold leakage level is detected. These devices must be manually reset by the consumer. The National Electrical Code requires the use of GFCI’s in kitchen receptacles installed to serve countertop surfaces. Performance of the range will not be affected if operated on a GFCIprotected circuit but occasional nuisance tripping of the GFCI breaker is possible.

Preferred Method

Ensure proper ground exists before use

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (CONT.)

A. Usage Situations where Appliance Power Cord will

be Disconnected Infrequently.

An adapter may be used only on a 15-amp circuit. Do not use an adapter on a 20-amp circuit. Where local codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded two-prong wall receptacle by the use of a UL-listed adapter, available at most hardware stores. The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in the wall receptacle to provide proper polarity in the connection of the power cord.

When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always hold the adapter with one hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground terminal is very likely to break with repeated use. Should this happen, DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper ground has again been established.

CAUTION: Attaching the adapter

ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded through the house wiring. The customer should have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.

Temporary Method

Ensure proper ground and firm connection before use

Installation Instructions

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (CONT.)

B. Usage Situations where Appliance Power Cord will

be Disconnected Frequently.

Do not use an adapter plug in these situations because disconnecting of the power cord places undue strain on the adapter and leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground terminal. The customer should have the twoprong wall receptacle replaced with a three-prong (grounding) receptacle by a qualified electrician before using the appliance.

The installation of appliances designed for mobile home installation must conform with the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD, Part

280) or, when such standard is not applicable, the Standard for Manufactured Home Installations, latest edition (Manufactured Home Sites, Communities and Set-Ups), ANSI A225.1, latest edition, or with local codes. In Canada, mobile home installation must be in accordance with the current CAN/CSA Z240/MH Mobile Home Installation Code.

CHECK IGNITION OF SURFACE BURNERS

Operation of all cooktop and oven burners should be checked after the range and gas supply lines have been carefully checked for leaks.

Electric Ignition Models

Select a top burner knob and simultaneously push in and turn to LITE position. You will hear a clicking sound indicating proper operation of the spark module. Once the air has been purged from the supply lines, burners should light within 4 seconds. After burner lights, rotate knob out of the LITE position. Try each burner in succession until all burners have been checked.

Quality of Flames

The combustion quality of burner flames needs to be determined visually.

If burner flames look like (A), call for service. Normal burner flames should look like (B) or (C), depending on the type of gas you use.

With LP gas, some yellow tipping on outer cones is normal.

CHECK IGNITION OF OVEN BURNER

The oven is designed to operate quietly and automatically. To operate the oven, press the BAKE pad and then press the number pads until 350° appears in the display. Touch the START pad. After 30–90 seconds, the oven burner will ignite and burn until the set temperature is reached. The oven burner will continue to cycle on and off as necessary to maintain the oven at the temperature indicated by the display.

To check ignition of the broil burner, touch the BROIL HI/LO pad and then the START pad. After 30–90 seconds, the broil burner will ignite.

Electric ignition models require electrical power to operate. In case of a power outage, the oven burners on these models cannot be lit manually with a match. Gas will not flow unless the glow bar is hot.

If the oven is in use when a power outage occurs, the burner will shut off and cannot be re-lit until power is restored.

Installation Instructions

To remove the oven bottom:

A. Remove the screws holding down rear of the oven

bottom.

B. Grasp the oven bottom at finger slots on each side.

C. Lift the rear of the oven bottom enough to clear the

lip of the range frame, push it back, and then pull it up and out.

Installation Instructions

ADJUST BROIL AND OVEN BURNER AIR ADJUSTMENT SHUTTERS IF NECESSAR

Air adjustment shutters for the top and bottom burners regulate the flow of air to the flames.

The air adjustment shutter for the top (broil) burner is in the center of the rear wall of the oven.

The shutter for the bottom (oven) burner is near the back wall behind the drawer. Remove the drawer. See the

Care and cleaning of the range

section.

To adjust the flow of air to either burner, loosen the Phillips head screw and rotate the shutter toward open or closed position as needed.

The flames for the top (broil) burner should be steady with approximately 1″ blue cones and should not extend out over the edges of the burner baffle.

To determine if the bottom burner flames are burning properly, remove the oven bottom. Flames should have approximately 1″ blue cones and, if range is supplied with natural gas, should burn with no yellow tipping. (With most LP gas, small yellow tips at the end of outer cones are normal.) Flames should not lift off burner ports. If lifting is observed, gradually reduce air shutter opening until flames are stabilized.
