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

substances.

The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives
off a very small amount of carbon monoxide
during the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be
minimized by venting with an open window
or using a ventilation fan or hood.

GEAppliances.com

COOK MEATAND POULTRYTHOROUGHLY...

Cook meat and poultry thoroughly-meat to at least an INTERNALtemperature of 160°F and poultry
to at least an INTERNALtemperature of 180°E Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against

foodbome illness.

WARNING!

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments
while using the appliance. Be careful when
reaching for items stored over the range.

Flammable material could be ignited if brought
in contact with hot surface units or heating

elements and may cause severe burns.
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 hot

surface units or heating elements. Do not use
a towel or other bulky cloth.

For your safety, never use your appliance for
warming or heating the room.

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 unit 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 oven off,

or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or
foam-type fire extinguisher.

Be sure all packaging materials are
removed from the range before operating

it to prevent fire or smoke damage should

the packaging material ignite.
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 touch the surface units, the heating

elements or the interior surface of the oven.
These surfaces may be hot enough to burn

even though they are dark in color. During and
after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other
flammable materials contact, the surface

units, areas nearby the surface units or any
interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time

for cooling first.

Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop,

areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening,
surfaces near the opening, crevices around

theoven doorand metaltrimpartsabove
thedoor.

REPIEPIBER:The inside surface of the oven
may be hot when the door is opened.

Do not store or use combustible materials,

gasoline or other flammable vapors and

liquids inthe vicinity of this or any other

appliance.

Keep the hood and grease filters clean

to maintain good venting and to avoid
grease fires.

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. 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.

Teach children not to play with the controls
or any other part of the range.

Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot

holders and other linens a safe distance from
your range.

Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and
canned food a safe distance from your range.

Always keep combustible wall coverings,
curtains or drapes a safe distance from

your range.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

RADIANT SURFACEUNITS

Use proper pan size-select cookwore having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit
heating element. The use of undersized cookwore will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct
contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookwore to surface unit will also
improve efficiency.

Never leave the surface units unattended at

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

Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers are

suitable for cooktop service; others may
break because of the 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 surface units.

Always turn the surface units off before
removing cookware.

Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you do

flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

Keep an eye on foods being fried athigh

or medium high heat settings.

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.

iiiiiiiiiiiii!

Use little fat for effective shallow or deep fat

frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause

spillovers when food is added.
If a combination of oils or fats will be used in

frying, stir together before heating, or as fats

melt slowly.

Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.

iiiiiiiiiiiii!

Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond

the smoking point.

Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop-

they may melt if left too close to the vent.

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.

RADIANT SURFACEUNITS

GEAppliances.com

Use care when touching the cooktop.

The glass surface of the cooktop will retain

heat after the controls have been turned off.
Avoid scratching the glass cooktop.

The cooktop can be scratched with items such

as sharp instruments, rings or otherjewelrg
and rivets on clothing.

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

Do not operate the radiant surface units
if the glass is broken. Spillovers or cleaning
solution mag penetrate a broken cooktop

and create o risk of electrical shock. Contact
o qualified technician immediotelg should

gour glass cooktop become broken.
Never use the glass cooktop surface as

a cutting board.
Do not place or store items that can melt

or catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when
it is not being used.

Be careful when placing spoons or other
stirring utensils on the glass cooktop surface

when it isin use. They may become hot

and could cause burns.

Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot

surface unit, be careful to avoid steam burns.
Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if

applied to o hot surface.

NOTE: We recommend that you avoid wiping
any surface unit areas until theg have cooled
and the indicator light has gone off. Sugar spills
are the exception to this. Please see Cleoning
the gloss cooktop section.

When the cooktop iscool, use onlg the
recommended cleaning cream to clean
the cooktop.

To avoid possible damage to the cooking
surface, do not applg cleaning cream
to the glass surface when it is hot.

Usingthe convectionoven. GEAppliances.com

The convection oven fun shuts off when the oven door isopened. DONOTleove the door open for long periods of time
while using convection cooking.

Ina convectionoven,a fancirculates
hotair over,underandaroundthefood.

This circulatinghotair is evenly

distributedthroughoutthe ovencavity.
Asa result, foodsareevenlycooked

andbrowned--often inbesstime than
with regularheat.

NOTE:Tomaximizecookingevenness,
thefan is designedto rotate inboth
directionswith a pausein between.

This is normal.

Tohelp you understand the difference
between convection bake and roastand

traditional bakeand roast, here are some
general guidelines.

Convection Bake

Preheat the oven. See Preheating and Pan
Placement in the Using the upper oven

section.

Ideal forfoods cooked on multiple rocks.
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.

Theconvection fan circulates the heated air
evenly over and around the food. Meat and

poultry are browned on oil sidesas if they
were cooked on o rotisserie. Heated air will

be circulated over,under and around the
food being roasted.Theheated air sealsin

juices quicklyfor o moist and tenderproduct

while, at the sametime, creatingo rich
golden brown exterior.

Roasts or poultry should be cooked on rack

position (A).

When you are convection roasting,it is

important that you useo broilerpan andgrid

for bestconvection roasting results.The pan

isusedto catch grease spillsand the grid is
usedto prevent greasespatters.

_,Placethe rack in rack position (A).

Cookware for Convection Cooking

Beforeusing your convection oven,check
to see ifyour cookwore leavesroom for air

circulation inthe oven. If you are baking with
several pans,leave space between them.

Also,be surethe pans do not touch each
other orthe 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.
Plasticcookwore that is heat-resistant to

temperatures of 400°Fcan also be used,
when oven isbelow 400°F.

Metal and Glass

Any type of cookworewill work inyour
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.
Glassor ceramicpans cookmore slowly.

When baking cookies,you will get the best
resultsif you usea flat cookiesheet instead

of a panwith low sides.

Forrecipes likeoven-baked chicken,use a

pan with low sides.Hot aircannot circulate
well around food in apan with high sides.

Cleaning

Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch

the surface.

Inorder to avoid any discolorations and/or
greasestains,we recommend cleaning

and removing any spills,spots and grease

from the range after use.

It is important to usea soft cloth or paper

towel every time the range iscleaned to

avoidany scratches.

We recommend you have the electrical wiring
and hookup of your range connected by a qualified
electrician. After installation, have the electrician

show you where your main range disconnect
is located.

Check with your local utilities for electrical codes
which apply in your area. Failure to wire your oven

according to governing codes could result in a
hazardous condition. If there are no local codes,

your range must be wired and fused to meet
the requirements of the National Electrical Code,

ANSl/NFPA No. 70iLatest Edition. You can get
a copy by writing:

National Fire Protection Association

Effective January 1, 1996, the Notional Electrical

Code requires that new construction (not existing}

Use only a 3-conductor or a 4-conductor UL-listed
range cord. These cords may be provided with ring

terminals on wire and a strain relief device.
A range cord rated at/40 amps with 125/250

minimum volt range is required. A S0-amp range
cord is not recommended but if used, it should
be marked for use with nominal 1B/8" diameter

connection openings. Care should be taken
to center the cable and strain relief within

the knockout hole to keep the edge from
damaging the cable.

• Because range terminals are not accessible
after range is in position, flexible service conduit

or cord must be used.

NOTE: If conduit is being used, go to Step :3Dand
then to Step 6 or 7.

• On some models, a filter capacitor may be
connected between the black and white leads

on the junction block.

You must use a B-wire, single-phase A.C. 208Y/120
Volt or 240/120 Volt, 60 Hertz electrical system. If

you connect to aluminum wiring, properly installed
connectors approved for use with aluminum wiring

must be used.

Installation Instructions

I_1 FINAL INSTALLATION CHECKLIST

• Check to make sure the circuit breaker is closed

(RESET)or the circuit fuses are replaced.

• Be sure power is in service to the building.

• Note (on some models): If the clock flashes

"bAd" and then "LinE" with a loud tone, the
neutral connection to the range is not wired
correctly. Check the terminal block connections
and/or house wiring to correct.

• Check to be sure that all packing materials

and tape have been removed. This will include
tape on metal panel under control knobs
(if applicable), adhesive tape, wire ties, cardboard
and protective plastic. Failure to remove these
materials could result in damage to the appliance
once the appliance has been turned on and

surfaces have heated.

• Check to make sure that the rear leveling leg

is fully inserted into the Anti-Tip bracket and
that the bracket is securely installed.

I_1 OPERATION CHECKLIST

Turn on one of the surface units to observe that
the element glows within 60 seconds. Turn the

unit off when glow is detected. If the glow is not
detected within the time limit, recheck the range
wiring connections. If change is required, retest
again. If no change is required, have building
wiring checked for proper connections and
voltage.

Check to make sure the Clock (on models so
equipped) display is energized. If a series of

horizontal red lines appear in the display,
disconnect power immediately. Recheck the
range wiring connections. If change is made
to connections, retest again. If no change is
required, have building wiring checked for proper
connections and voltage. It is recommended that
the clock be changed if the red lines appear.

Be sure all range controls are in the OFF position
before leaving the range.
