materials.

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

■ Do not leave children alone or unattended in an
area where an appliance is in use. They should never
be allowed to climb, sit or stand on any part of the
appliance.

■ Do not store items of interest to children above a range
or on the backguard of a range-children climbing on
the range to reach items could be seriously injured.

■ Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the

oven door, drawer or cooktop. They could damage the
range or tip it over causing severe injury or death.

■ Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. They

provide the air inlets and outlets 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
bottomof the range under the warming drawer, lower
oven drawer or kick panel.

■ Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot holders on
hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let
pot holders touch surface burners, burner grate, or oven
heating element. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth
in place of pot holders.

■ Be careful not to touch hot surfaces of the range.

Potentially hot surfaces include burners, grates, cooktop,
backguard, oven and door interior and crevices around
the oven door.

■ Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could

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

■ Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an

internal temperature of 150°F and poultry to at least
an internal temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these
temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.

GEAppliances.com

■ Avoid scratching or impacting glass doors, cooktops or
control panels. Doing so may lead to glass breakage. Do
not cook on a product with broken glass. Shock, fire or
cuts may occur.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

A WARNING KEEP FLAMMABLE MATERIALS AWAY FROM THE RANGE

■ Do not store or use flammable materials in an oven or
near the cooktop, including paper, plastic, pot holders,
linens, wall coverings, curtains, drapes and gasoline or
other flammable vapors and liquids.

■ Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while
using the appliance. Avoid storing commonly used items
in cabinetes above the range and be careful when

reaching over the range. Clothing in close proximity to
burners or hot surfaces may ignite causing severe burns.

■ Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials
accumulate in or near the range. Grease in the oven or
on the cooktop may ignite.

■ Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Grease should not
be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter.

A WARNING I IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, TAKE THE FOLLOWING STEPS

TO PREVENT INJURY AND FIRE SPREADING:

■ Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up
a flaming pan. Turn the controls o1^. Smother a
flaming pan on a surface burner by covering the pan
completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat
tray. If necessary, use a multi-purpose dry chemical or
foam-type fire extinguisher.

■ If there is a fire in the oven during baking, turn the oven
off and keep the door closed until the fire goes out. If

COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

necessary, use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam
type fire extinguisher.

■ If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean, turn the
oven o1^ and wait for the fire to go out. Do not force

the door open. Introduction of fresh air at self-clean
temperatures may lead to a burst of flame from the

oven. Failure to follow this instruction may result in
severe burns.

■ Never leave the surface burners unattended at medium
or high heat settings. Foods, especially oily foods, may
ignite resulting in fire that could spread to surrounding
cabinets.

■ Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed to
heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite resulting
in fire that may spread to surrounding cabinets. Use a
deep fat thermometer whenever possible to monitor oil
temperature.

■ To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum amount of
oil when shallow pan-frying and avoid cooking frozen
foods with excessive amounts of ice.

■ Use proper pan size and avoid pans that are unstable
or easily tipped. Select cookware that is matched to the
size of the burner. Burner flames should be adjusted so
that they do not extend beyond the bottom of the pan.

Excessive flame may be hazardous.

■ Always use the LITE position when igniting the top
burners and make sure the burners have ignited.

■ When using glass/ceramic cookware, make sure it is
suitable for cooktop service; others may break because
of sudden change in temperature.

■ To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of
flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a
container should be turned toward the center of the
range without extending over nearby burners.

■ When preparing flaming foods under a hood, turn the
fan on.

■ Do not use a wok with a round metal support ring, the

ring may trap heat and block air to the burner resulting
in a carbon monoxide hazard.

■ Do not attempt to lil^the cooktop. Doing so may

damage the gas tubing to the surface burners resulting
in a gas leak and risk of fire.

■ When disabling Gas/Control Lockout (on some models),

make sure the surface controls are set to the OFF
position. This will prevent unintended gas flow from the
burners.

■ Do not use aluminum foil to cover the grates or line

any part of the cooktop. Doing so may result in carbon
monoxide poisoning, overheating of the cooktop
surfaces, or a potential fire hazard.

■ Pull the oven rack to the stop-lock position when
loading and unloading food from the oven. This helps
prevent burns from touching hot surfaces of the door
and oven walls.

■ Do not leave items such as paper, cooking utensils or
food in the oven when not in use. Items stored in an
oven can ignite.

■ Do not leave items on the cooktop near the oven vent

which is in the center of the backguard. Items may

overheat resulting in a risk of fire or burns.

■ When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow

the manufacturer's directions.

■ Never broil with door open. Open-door broiling is not
permitted due to overheating of control knobs.

GEAppliances.com

Awarning

The self-cleaning feature operates the oven at temperatures high enough to burn away food soils in the oven.

Follow these instructions for safe operation.

■ Before operating the self-clean cycle, remove pans,

shiny metal oven racks and other utensils from the
oven. Only porcelain-coated oven racks may be left in
the oven. Do not use self-clean to clean other parts,
such as grates.

■ Before operating the self-clean cycle, wipe grease and
food soils from the oven. Excessive amount of grease
may ignite leading to smoke damage to your home.

SELF-CLEANING OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

■ If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the oven o1^
and disconnect the power supply. Have it serviced by a
qualified technician.

■ Do not clean the door gasket. The door gasket is
essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to
rub, damage or move the gasket.

■ Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven cleaner
or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be
used in or around any part of the oven.

AWARNING WARMING DRAWER/LOWER OVEN DRAWER SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS (Some models)

■ The purpose of the warming drawer is to hold hot
cooked foods at serving temperature. Bacteria will grow
in food while it is below 140°F. Do not put cold food in

warming drawer. Do not heat food for more than

2 hours. Failure to follow these instructions may result in

foodborne illness.

■ Do not leave paper products, plastics, canned food or
combustible materials in the drawer. They may ignite.

■ Use care when opening the drawer. Open the drawer a
crack and let hot air or steam escape before removing
or replacing food. Hot air or steam that escapes can
cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

■ Do not use aluminum foil to line the warming drawer.
Foil is an excellent heat insulator and will trap heat
beneath it. This will upset the performance of the
drawer and potentially cause a fire hazard.

■ Do not touch the heating element or the interior surface
of the drawer. These surfaces may be hot enough to
cause burns.

Sealed Gas Burners

Your gas range cooktop has sealed gas

burners. They offer convenience, cleanability
and flexibility to be used in a wide range of
cooking applications.

The smallest burner in the right rear position

is the simmer burner. On some models, the

right front position triple flame burner will be
the simmer burner. This burner can be turned
down to S/Mfor a very low simmer setting.

It provides precise cooking performance for
delicate foods such as sauces or foods that

require low heat for a long cooking time.
The medium (left rear) and the large (left

front) burners are the primary burners
for most cooking. These general-purpose

burners can be turned down from HI to LO to
suit a wide range of cooking needs.

The extra large burner (right front, triple flame

burner, or left front burner on some models) are
the maximum output burners. Like the other
four burners, it can be turned down from
S/Mfor a wide range of cooking applications.

These burners are designed to quickly bring

large amounts of liquid to a boil. They have

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

size on a gas burner should match the

heating properties and is usually combined
with copper, aluminum or other metals for

improved heat distribution. Combination

metal skillets usually work satisfactorily

if they are used with medium heat as the

manufacturer recommends.

Use a flat-bottomed wok.

Stove Top Grills

Do not use stove top grills on your sealed gas
burners. If you use the stove top grill on the
sealed gas burner, it will cause incomplete
combustion and can result in exposure to
carbon monoxide levels above allowable
current standards.

Wok This Way

We recommend that you use a 14-inch or
smaller flat-bottomed wok. Make sure the wok
bottom sits flat on the grate. They are available
at your local retail store.

Only a flat-bottomed wok should be used.

In Case of Power Failure

In case of a power failure, you can light the
gas surface burners on your range with a
match. Hold a lit match to the burner, then
push in and turn the control knob to the
position. Use extreme caution when lighting
burners this way.

LITE

This can be hazardous to your health.

Do not use a wok support ring. Placing the

Preheating and Pan Placement

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

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct
temperature. Preheating is necessary when

convection baking and for good results when

baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. For

ovens without a preheat indicator light or tone,

preheat 10 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.

The size, weight, thickness,
starting temperature and
your preference of doneness
will affect broiling times. This
guide is based on meats at

refrigerator temperature.

tThe U.S. Department of
Agriculture says "Rare beef is
popular, but you should know that
cooking it to only 1A0°F means
some food poisoning organisms
may survive." (Source: Safe Food

Book, Your Kitchen Guide. USDA
Rev. June 1985.)

The upper oven has 2 rack positions.
** In general, higher rack positions

yield darker external searing and
lower positions yield more doneness.

For best results, the broil pan should

be oriented parallel to the broiler.

Using the convection lower oven, (on some models)

The convection oven fan shuts o1^ when the oven door is opened. DO NOT leave the door open for long periods of time
while using convection cooking.

GEAppliances.com

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.

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 racks.

■ 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 rôtisserie. 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 rack
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 rack in rack position (A).

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 Oven For Warming

The WARM feature keeps cooked foods hot.
This feature is not designed to reheat cold food.
To use the WARM feature, touch the WARM

pad and then the START pad.

To use the WARMfeature after Timed Baking
or Roasting, follow these steps:

[71 Touch the mode of cooking that you want

^ to use [BAKE, CONVECTION BAKE or

CONVECTION ROASTl.

Touch the number pads to set the oven
temperature.

Touch the COOKING TIME pad.
Touch the number pads to set the desired

length of cooking time.

^ Touch the WARM pad.

To Crisp Stale Items

■ Place food in low-sided dishes or pans.

■ For best results, place the food items in a
single layer. Do not stack.

■ Leave them uncovered.

■ Check crispness after 20-30 minutes.

Add time as needed.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

■ Food should be kept hot in its cooking
container or transferred to a heat-safe
serving dish.

■ For moist foods, cover them with an
oven-safe lid or aluminum foil.

■ Fried or crisp foods do not need to be
covered, but can become too dry if warmed
for too long.

■ Repeated opening of the door allows the hot
air to escape and the food to cool.

■ Allow extra time for the temperature inside
the oven to stabilize after adding items.

■ With large loads it may be necessary to
cover some of the cooked food items.

■ Remove serving spoons, etc., before placing
containers in the oven.

■ Do not use plastic containers, lids or plastic
wrap.

Note: Plastic containers, lids or plastic wrap will
melt if placed in the oven. Melted plastic may
not be removable and is not covered under

Adjust the lower and upper oven

thermostats—Do it yourself!

You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to become
more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself.

Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven.
These thermometers may vary 20-40 degrees.

NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in

memory after a power failure.

To Adjust the Upper Thermostat

Pull the OVEN CONTROL knob off the

range and look at the back side. To make
an adjustment, loosen (approximately one
turn), but do not completely remove, the
two screws on the back of the knob.

With the back of the knob facing you, hold
the outer edge of the knob with one hand
and turn the front of the knob with the
other hand. To raise the oven temperature,

move the top screw toward the right. You'll

hear a click for each notch you move the

knob. To lower the temperature, move the
top screw toward the left.

Each click will change the oven
temperature approximately 10°F. (Range is
±30°F. from the arrow.) We suggest that
you make the adjustment one click from
the original setting and check oven

performance before makingany additional
adjustments.

~j] After the adjustment is made, retighten

screws so they are snug, but be careful

not to overtighten.

Re-install knob on range and check

performance.

The type of margarine will affect baking performance!

Most recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you

decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher-fat product.

Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low-fat spreads. The lower the fat

content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.

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

70% vegetable oil.

Wipe up heavy soil on the oven
bottom.

DO NOT hand

DO hand clean
inside door Ararne

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:

■ If your oven is equipped with nickel

oven racks, remove them before you begin

the self-clean cycle.

■ If your oven is equipped with gray porcelain-

coated oven racks, they 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 front frame 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. Wipe off
the flat inner door with soapy water and a

sponge.
Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass

material of the front frame 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
