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 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.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Have the installer show you the location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off if necessary.
Have your range installed and properly Plug your range into a 120-volt grounded
grounded by a qualified installer, in
accordance with the Installation Instructions.
Any adjustment and service should be
performed only by qualified gas range
installers or service technicians.
Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of your range unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other service
should be referred to a qualified technician.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFOR/V/AT/ON.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
SAFETYPRECAUTIONS
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:Theseadjustments
must be made by o 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: Itemsofinterest

above o range or on the bocksplosh
of a rangeichildren climbing on the range
to reach items could be seriously injured.
Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments
while using the appliance. Becareful 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,
o range drawer or near o 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

to off or by using a multi-purpose 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.

WARNING!
SURFACEBURNERS
Use proper pan sizelavoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat
bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. Toavoid 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 easil_lgrasped and remain cool.
Always use the L/TE position when igniting
the top burners and make sure the burners
have ignited.
Never leave the surface burners unattended
at high flame settings. Boiloverscause 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.
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.
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.
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 isturned on

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
LOWEROVEN DRAWER
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.
COOK HEATAND POULTRYTHOROUGHLY...
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly-meat to ot least on INTERNALtemperature of 160°F and poultry
to ot least on INTERNALtemperature of 180°K Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against
foodbome illness.
SELF-CLEANING THE UPPER OVEN
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 racks may be
cleaned in the oven during the self-clean cycle.
Clean only parts listed in this Owner's Manual.
6
Do not clean the door gasket. The door gasket
isessential 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.

UPPEROVEN
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.
Do notuse theoven fora storagearea.
Itemsstoredintheoven can ignite.
Keep theoven freefromgreasebuildup.
Placetheoven racksinthedesiredposition
whiletheoven iscool.
Pulling out the rack 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.
WARNING: NEVERcoverany
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.
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.
Hake sure any broiler pan isin 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.

Aluminum Foil
Do not use aluminum foilon the bottom of
the oven.
Neverentirely cover a rackwith aluminum
foil.Thiswill disturb the heat circulation and
result in poor baking.
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 are harmless and will
evaporate asthe oven continues to heat up.
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch a
spillover by placingit on a lower rack several

Ina convectionoven,a fancirculates

Thiscirculatinghot air is evenly
distributedthroughoutthe ovencavity.
Asa result,foodsare evenlycookedand
browned--often in lesstime than with
regularheat.
NOTE:Tomaximizecookingevenness,
thefan isdesignedto rotate in both
directionswith a pauseinbetween.
Thisis normal.
To help gou understand the difference
between convection bake and roast and
traditional bakeand roast, here are some
general guidelines.
Convection Bake
Preheat the oven. See the Using the Oven-
Preheating and Pan Placement section.
Idealfor foods cooked on multiple racks.
Good for large quantities of baked foods.
Good results with cookies, biscuits,
brownies, cupcakes, cream puffs, sweet
rolls,angel food cakeand bread.
The convection fan circulates the heated
air evenlg over and around the food.
Convection Roast
Good for large tender cuts of meat,
uncovered.
The convection fun circulates the heated air
evenlg over and around the food. Meat and
poultrg are browned on all sides as iftheg
were cooked on a rotisserie. Heated air will
be circulated over, under and around the
food being roasted. The heated air seals in
juices quicklg for a moist and tender product
while, at the same time, creating a rich
golden brown exterior.
Roasts or poultry should be cooked on rack
position IA).
When gouoreconvection roosting,it is
important that gou useo broiler pan and grid
for bestconvection roosting results.The pan
isusedto catch greasespills and the grid is
usedto prevent greasespotters.

Beforeusing your convection oven,check
to see ifyour cookware leavesroom for air
circulation inthe oven.Ifyou are baking with
several pans, leavespacebetween them.
Also,be surethe 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 usedin convection ovens.
Plasticcookware that is heat-resistant to
temperatures of 400°Fcan also be used,
when oven isbelow 400°F.
Metal and Glass
Any type of cookware will work inyour
convection oven. However,metal pans heat
the fastest and are recommended for
convection baking.
Darkenedor matte-finished pans will bake
fasterthan shing pans.
Glassor ceramic pans cook more slowlg.
When baking cookies, you will get the best
results if you usea flat cookiesheetinstead
of a panwith low sides.
Forrecipeslikeoven-baked chicken,
usea pan with low sides. Hot air cannot
circulate well around food in a pan with
high sides.

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 bloustill think your new oven istoo hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself.
Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocerbl stores, to check the temperature setting of blour oven.

Thetype 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 blou
decrease the fat, the recipe mabl 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. Thelower the fat
content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
Federalstandards require products labeled "margarine" to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Lowfat spreads,on the
other hand,contain lessfat and more water.The high moisture content of these spreadsaffects the texture and flavor
of baked goods. Forbestresultswith your old favorite recipes,use margarine, butter or stickspreadscontaining at least70%

Burner Grates
Yourrange hasthree professional-styledouble
grates.Thesegratesareposition-specific.
Formaximum stability,thesegratesshould
only be used in their proper positions.For
convenience,the undersidesof the sidegrates
are marked "OUTSIDE."Hake surethe front
portion of both grates isinfront.Thecenter
grate can be interchangedfront to back.
Cleaning Grates--Soup and Water
Liftgrates out when cool. Grates should be
washed regularly and, of course,after
spillovers.Wash them in hot,soapy water
and rinsewith clean water. When replacing
the grates, be surethey are positioned
securely over the burners.Replacethe grates
sothat straight lines are formed
with the center ribsof all three grates.
Cleaning Grates--Self-Clean Oven
To get rid of burned-on food, you may use
the self-clean cycle of your range. Remove
any burnt-on food particlesthat you can
prior to placing the grates in the oven. Place
the gray porcelain-coated racks in positions
"R","B"and "D".
NOTE:Donot dean thegriddle in the
self-cleaningoven.
Placeonegrate each on the oven racks
from sideto side.Followthe instructions
for how to set the upperoven for cleaning.
NOTE:Use caution when removing the grates
from the oven offer the self-cleon cyde has
ended. The grates may still be hot.
For heavily-soiled grates, you may notice
some white ash on the grate. Wipe it off
with a damp cloth after the grate cools.
Neveruseknivesor cut food on the griddle.
Wash with hot, soapy water aftereach use.
Storecarefully to prevent scratching.
Griddle Precautions:
Ifsomething has spilled under the griddle it
should be deaned up as soon as possible to
prevent "baked on" food soil.
Donot allow grease to accumulate under
thegriddleas it can be o firehazard.Clean
under thegriddleas soonas it is cool.Cleon
with hot soapy water.
Donot placeyour griddle in the microwave.
, Always turn off oilsurface burnersbefore
removing thegriddle. Usecaution when
handling o hotgriddle.
If white spots remain, remove them
with a soap-filled scouring pad and rinse
thoroughly with a vinegar and water mixture.
Thesedepositsare usually a salt residuethat
cannot be removed by the clean cycle.
Cleaning Grates--Dishwasher
The grates may be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Remove any burnt-on food particles that you
can prior to placing the grates in the
dishwasher. Place them on the lowest rack of
the dishwasher and run ona "heavy duty"
cycle.
Do not operate a burner for an extended
period oftime without cookware on the grate.
Thefinishonthe grate may chip without
cookware to absorb the heat.
Although the grates are durable, they will
gradually losetheir shine, regardlessof the
best care you can givethem. This isdue
to their continual exposureto high
temperatures and abrasion by the cookware.
Support Bumpers
If one or more of the circular silicone grate
support bumpers inthe cooktop are missing
or damaged, replacement parts can be
obtained by calling 1.800.GE.CARES.
Toinsertthe new bumpers,simply insert the
cone shaped end and push down while

ANTI-TIP DEVICE
• All ranges can tip.
• BURNS or other SERIOUS
INJURIES can result.
• INSTALL and CHECKthe
ANTI-TIP bracket following
the instructions supplied
with the bracket.
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.
To check if the bracket is installed and engaged
properly, carefully tip the range forward. The
bracket should stop the range within 4 inches.
If it does not, the bracket must be reinstalled.
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.
LOCATION
Do not locate the range where it mag be subject to
strong drafts. Ang 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 con settle into soft floor coverings such as
cushioned vinyl or carpeting. Use core 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 o 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 some 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.(Seethe Installation Safety Instructions
section.)
Moke surethewollcoveringsoroundyourrongecon
withstondtheheotgeneroted(upto200°F)by the

For free standing or slide in ranges, never
completely remove the leveling legs or the range
will not be secured to the anti-tip device properly.
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 1.800.561.33441

Installation Instructions
iTI 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 isconvertible for use on natural or
propane gas. If you decide to use this range on LPgas,
conversion must be made by a qualified LPinstaller
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 LPgas, 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 LPgas 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 supplg 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 gou
turn the gas back on.
Because hard piping restricts movement of the range,
the use of a CSAInternational-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 pipejoint 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.
a.
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

131ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Electrical Requirements
120-volt, 60 Hertz,properly grounded dedicated circuit
protected by a 1S-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--IPlease read carefully)
FORPERSONALSAFETY,THISAPPLIANCE MUSTBE
PROPERLYGROUNDED.
Preferred Method
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS ICONT.)
A. Usage Situations where Appliance Power Cord will
be Disconnected Infrequently.
An adapter may be used only on a 1S-amp circuit.
Do not use an adapter on a 20-amp circuit. Where
local codes permit, a TEMPORARYCONNECTION
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.
Temporary Method
(Adapterplugsnotpermittedin Canada}
Align large prongs/slots
Ensureproperground
andfirm connection
beforeuse
Ensure proper ground
existsbefore use
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, UNDERANY CIRCUMSTANCES,
CUTOR REMOVETHE THIRD IGROUND) PRONG FROM
THE POWERCORD.
A word about GFCI°s- GFCI°sare 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 isdetected. These devices must be manually reset
by the consumer. The National Electrical Code requires
the use of GFCI'sin kitchen receptacles installed to serve
countertop surfaces. Performance of the range will not
be affected if operated on a GFCI-protected circuit
but occasional nuisance tripping of the GFCI breaker
is possible.
-ACAUTION: 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.
When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter,
always hold the adapter with one hand. If this is not done,
the adapter ground terminal isvery likely to break with
repeated use. Should this happen, DO NOT USEthe
appliance until a proper ground has again been
established.
46
Page 47

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 two-
prong wall receptacle replaced with athree-prong
(grounding) receptacle bg 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
(formerlg 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),
ANSIA225.1, latest edition, or with local codes. In Canada,
mobile home installation must be in accordance with the
current CAN/CSAZ240/MH Mobile Home Installation Code.
