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 appfiances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namelbl benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehgde and soot, caused primarilbl bbl the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LPfuels. Propeflbl adjusted burners, indicated bbla bluish rather than a blellow flame, will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized bbtventing with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS
Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path
and out of drafty locations to prevent poor air circulation.
iiiiiil
Be sure all packaging materials are removed
from the range before operating it to prevent fire or smoke damage should the packaging
material ignite.
iiiiiiili_
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, storage drawer, warming 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.
WARNING: usethis
appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and
overheating of the oven.
Neverwear loose-fittingor hanging garments
while usingthe appliance.Becareful when
reachingfor itemsstored in cabinetsoverthe range.Flammablematerial could beignited
ifbrought in contact with flame or hot oven
surfaces andmay cause severeburns.
Do not store flammable materials in an oven,
a range storage drawer, a warming drawer or near a cooktop.
Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids inthe 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 oven or warming drawer can be smothered completely by closing the oven
door and turning the control to off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type
fire extinguisher.
iiiiiil
Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool before touching them or leaving them where
children can reach them.
iiiiiiili_
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 warming
drawer, kick panel or storage drawer.
iiiiiiili_
Large scratches or impacts to glass doors can lead to broken or shattered glass.

WARNING!
SURFACEBURNERS
Use proper pan size-avoid pans that are unstable or easfl_l 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 glasscookware, make sure
itis designedfor 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.
iiiil}i
Do not flame foods on the cooktop. Ifyou do
flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
iiiiiiili_
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.
iiiiiil
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 OFFposition 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.
iiiiiil
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.
iiiiiiili_
Always turn the surface burner controls off
before removing cookware.
iiiiiiili_
Do not lift the cooktop on sealed burner models. Lifting the cooktop can lead
to damage and improper operation of the range.

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). Ifyou 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.
Federalstandards require products labeled "margarine" to contain at least 80% fat bg weight. Low-fat spreads, on the other hand, contain lessfat and more water.The high moisture content of these spreadsaffects the texture and flavor
of baked goods. For best resultswith your old favorite recipes,usemargarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.

Careand cleaning of the range.
Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.
Ii WARNING: Ifyourrangeisremovedforcleaning,servicingoranyreason,
be sure the anti-tip device is reengaged properlg when the range is replaced. Failure to take this precaution could result in tipping of the range and cause injurbt.
Burner Grates
Lift out when cool. Gratesshould be washed regularly and,of course,after spillovers.
Wash them inhot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. When replacing the grates,
be sure they are positioned securely over the burners.
On models with professional-style double grates,the grates are position-specific.For
maximum stability, these grates should only be used in their proper position; they cannot
be interchanged leftto right or front to back. Forconvenience,the undersides ofthe left
and right grates are marked "LEFTFRONT" and "RIGHTFRONT."
Do not operate a burner for an extended period of time without cookware onthe grate.
Thefinish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.
Toget rid of burned-on food, place the grates in a covered container. Add 1/4 cup ammonia
and let them soakseveral hoursor overnight. Wash,rinsewell and dry.
Although theg are durable, the grates will graduallg lose their shine, regardless
of the best care you can give them. This isdue to their continual exposure to high
temperatures. Youwill notice thissooner with lighter color grates.
NOTE:Do not clean thegrates ina self-cleaning

WARNING!
ANTI-TIPDEVICE
All ranges can tip.
BURNS or other SERIOUS INJURIES can result.
INSTALL and CHECK the
ANTI-TIP bracket following the instructions supplied with the bracket.
Toreducethe risk of tipping the range,therange must be securedby a properly installedanthtip bracket. See
installation instructionsshippedwith the bracket for completedetails before attempting to install
Tocheckif the bracket is installed and engaged praperlg, carefu!lgtip therange forward. The bracket should stop
the range within 4 inches.If it doesnot, the bracket must be reinstalled.If the rangeispulled from the wa!!for ang
reason,alwags repeat thisprocedureto verify the range ispraperlg securedbg the anti-tip bracket.
LOCATION
Do not locate the range where it mag besubject 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 supplg fresh air for
combustion and ventilation are not obstructed bg carpeting or woodwork.
Yourrange, likemany other household items, isheavy end can settle into soft floor coverings such as cushioned vingl
or carpeting. Usecarewhen movingthe range on this type of flooring. It isrecommended that the following simpleand
inexpensiveinstructions befollowed to protect your floor.
The range should be installed on a sheet of plywood
(orsimilar material).When the floor covering endsat the front of the range, the area that the range will rest
on should be built up with plgwood 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 gour floor covering will withstand 180°R(Seethe Installation SafetgInstructions
section.) Make sure the wall coverings around your rangecan
withstand the heat generated (upto 200°F)by the range. (Seethe Installation SafetgInstructions section.)
Forflee-standing or slide-in ranges, nevercompletdg remove the leveling legs or the range wi!! not besecured
to the anti-tip deviceproperlg. If you did not receivean anti-tip bracketwith your
purchase,ca!! !.800.626.8774 to receiveone at no cost (inCanada,ca!!!.800.56!.3344). For installation
instructionsof the bracket, visit GEAppliances.com (inCanada,GEAppliances.ca).
m Foryour 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.
BBDonot 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.
BBDonot use oven for a storage area. Items stored
in the oven can ignite.
BBDonot let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the range.
IMPORTANT!
Removeall tape and packaging. Make sure the burners are properly seated and level.
Lift up the cooktop Ion models with standard twin burners} and remove any packing material under it.
Take the accessory pack out of the oven andlor drawer.
Checkto besure that no range parts have come loose during shipping.

Installation Instructions
rT] PROVIDE ADEQUATE GAS SUPPLY
Your range isdesigned to operate at a pressure of 4" of water column on natural gas or, if designed for LPgas
(propane or butane), 10" of water column.
Makesure you are supplying your range with the type
of gas for which it is designed. Thisrange isconvertible for use on natural or propane gas.
Ifyou decideto usethis rangeon LPgas,conversion must
be made by a qualified LPinstaller before attempting to operate the range on that gas.
Forproper operation, the pressureof natural gas supplied
to the regulator must be between 4" and 15" of water column.
ForLPgas,the pressuresupplied must be between 10"
and 15" 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 asgiven above.
Thepressure regulator located at the inletof the range manifold must remain inthe supply line regardless
of whether natural or LPgas isbeing used. Aflexible metal appliance connector usedto connect the
range to the gas supply line should have an I.D.of 1/2" and be 5feet in lengthfor easeof installation. In Canada,flexible
connectors must be singlewall metal connectors nolonger 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 hookup 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 useof a CSAInternational-certified flexiblemetal
appliance connector is recommended unlesslocal codes require a hard-piped connection.
Never use an old connector when installing a new range. If the hard piping method isused,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. Installa manual gas lineshut-off valve in the gas line
in an easily accessed location outside ofthe 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. Usea 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 keepit from turning.
D.Connect flexible metal appliance connector to
the adapter on the range. Positionrange 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. Usea liquid leakdetector
at alljoints and connections to check for leaksin the system.
WARNING: DONOTUSEAFLAME
TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
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.

A. Usage Situations Where Appliance Power Cord Will
Be Disconnected Infrequentlg.
An adapter may beusedonly on a iS-amp circuit. Do not usean adapter on a 20-amp circuit. Where local
codes permit, a TEMPORARYCONNECTIONmay be made to a properly grounded 2-prong wall receptacle by
the useof a UL-listed adapter, availableat most hardware stores.Thelarger slot inthe adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in the wall receptacleto provide
proper polarity inthe connection ofthe power cord.

Thepower cord ofthis appliance is equippedwith a ]-prong (grounding)plug which mateswith a standard
]-prong grounding wall receptacle to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.
Thecustomer should have the wall receptacle and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make surethe
receptacle isproperly grounded. Where a standard 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it
isthe personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to haveit replaced with a properly grounded ]-prong wall
receptacle.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD.
A word about GFCIs- GFCIsare not required or recommended for gas range receptacles.
Ground FaultCircuit Interrupters(GFCIs)are devicesthat senseleakageof current ina circuit and automatically
switch off power when a threshold leakage levelis detected. Thesedevicesmust be manually reset by the consumer.
TheNational ElectricalCoderequiresthe useof GFCIsin kitchen receptacles installedto servecountertop surfaces.
Performanceofthe range will not be affected if operated
on a GFCI-protectedcircuit but occasionalnuisance tripping of the GFCIbreakerispossible.
^_CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground
terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance unlessthe cover screw is metal,
and not insulated, and the wall receptacle isgrounded through the house wiring. The customer should have
the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make surethe receptacle isproperly grounded.
When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always hold the adapter with onehand. If thisis not done,
the adapter ground terminal isvery likelyto break with repeated use.Should thishappen, DO NOTUSEthe
appliance until a proper ground has again beenestablished.
