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.

outlet only. Do not remove the round grounding prong from the plug. If indoubt 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.

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

to children should not be stored in cabinets

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 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 o flaming pan on o surface burner

by covering the pan completely with

o well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat troy.

Use o 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 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.

Large scratches or impacts to glass doors can lead to broken or shattered glass.

WARNING: NEVERuse

this appliance as o space heater to heat

or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and

overheating of the oven.

GEAppliances.com

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.

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.
