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 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.
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.
WARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
All ranges can tip and injury could result.
To prevent accidental tipping of the range, attach it to the wall or floor by installing the Anti-Tip device supplied.
If the Anti-Tip device supplied with the range does not fit this application, use the universal Anti-Tip device WB2X7909.
To check if the device is installed and engaged properly, remove the storage drawer and inspect the rear leveling leg. Make sure it fits securely into the slot.
If you pull the range out from the wall for any reason, make sure the device is properly engaged when you push the range back against the wall. If it is not, there is a possible risk of the range tipping over and causing injury if you or a child stand, sit or lean on an open door.
Please refer to the Anti-Tip device information in this manual. Failure to take this precaution could result in tipping of the range and injury.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
Use this appliance only for its intended
purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.
Be sure your appliance is properly installed
and grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with the provided installation instructions.
Before performing any service, disconnect
the range power supply at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker.
Have the installer show you the location of
the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.
Do not leave children alone—children
should not be left alone or unattended in an area where an appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
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
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.
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.
Do not leave children alone or unattended
where a range is hot or in operation. They could be seriously burned.
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.
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 Instructions packed with the range.
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.

Keep the hood and grease filters clean to
maintain good venting and to avoid grease fires.
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.
Do not clean the range with flammable or
volatile cleaning fluids.
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.
Avoid scratching the glass cooktop with
sharp instruments, or with rings and other jewelry.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or
hang on the oven door, storage 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.
For your safety, never use your appliance
for warming or heating the room.
Large scratches or impacts to glass doors
can lead to broken or shattered glass.
Do not clean the range when the appliance
is in use.
Never wear loose-fitting or hanging
garments while using the appliance.
Be careful 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, a range storage drawer or near a 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 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 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.
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 storage drawer or kick panel.
Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the
cooktop can lead to damage and improper operation of the range.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
SURFACE BURNERS
Use proper pan size—avoid pans that are unstable or easily 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 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.
Carefully watch foods being fried at a high
flame setting.
Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
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.
Do not operate the burner without all burner
parts in place.
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.
When preparing flaming 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.
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 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.

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. Residue from oven cleaners will damage the inside of the oven when the self-clean cycle is used.
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.
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove
the racks, broiler pan, grid and other cookware.
Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before
starting the self-cleaning operation.
If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions,
turn the oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have it serviced by a qualified technician.

Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury.
Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
Place the oven rack in the desired position
while the oven is cool. If racks must be handled when hot, do not let pot holder contact the heating elements.
When using cooking or roasting bags
in the oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.
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.
Do not use the oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch on fire.
Do not use the oven for a storage area.
Items stored in an oven can ignite.
Do not leave paper products, cooking
utensils or food in the oven when not in use.
Do not use aluminum foil to line oven
bottoms, except as suggested in this manual. Improper installation of aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
Make sure the broiler pan is in place
correctly to reduce the possibility of grease fires.
If you should have a grease fire in the
broiler pan, press the CLEAR/OFF pad and keep the oven door closed to contain fire until it burns out.
Stand away from the range when opening the oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.
How to Light a Gas Surface Burner
Push the control knob in and turn it to the LITE position.
You will hear a little clicking noise— the sound of the electric spark igniting the burner.
After the flame lights, turn the knob to adjust the flame size. If the knob stays at LITE, it will continue to click.
When one burner is turned to LITE, all the burners spark. Do not attempt to disassemble or clean around any burner while another burner is on. An electric shock may result, which could cause you to knock over hot cookware.
Push the control knob in and turn it to the LITE position.
How to Select Flame Size
For safe handling of cookware, never let the flames extend up the sides of the cookware.
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat. The flame size on a gas burner should match the cookware you are using.
Any flame larger than the bottom of the cookware is wasted and only serves to heat the handle.
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 LITE position. Use extreme caution when lighting burners this way.
Surface burners in use when an electrical power failure occurs will continue to operate normally.
Before Lighting a Gas Burner
Make sure all grates on the range are in
place before using any burner.
After Lighting a Gas Burner
Do not operate the burner for an
extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.
Be sure the burners and grates are
cool before you place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or other materials on them.
Sealed Gas Burners
The smaller burner (right rear position) will give the best simmer results for delicate foods, such as sauces or foods which need to cook over low heat for a long time. It can be turned down to a very low setting.
The largest burners are higher powered than the others and will bring liquids to a boil quicker.

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.
Do not use a flat-bottomed wok on a support ring. Placing the ring over the burner or grate may cause the burner to work improperly, resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable standards. This could be dangerous to your health.
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.
This can be hazardous to your health.
Top-of-Range Cookware
Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is
recommended because it heats quickly and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in an aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with tight-fitting 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 those for top-of-range cooking (saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat very slowly.
Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for either surface or oven cooking. It conducts heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check cookware manufacturer’s directions to be sure it can be used on gas ranges.
Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor 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.

Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan and broiler grid. However, you must mold the foil tightly to the grid and cut slits in it just like the grid.
Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meat juices from draining into the broiler pan. The juices could become hot enough to catch on fire. If you do not cut the slits, you are essentially frying, not broiling.
Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of the oven.
Never entirely cover a rack with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking.
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch a spillover by placing it on a lower rack several inches below the food.
Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.

Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature. The control will beep when the oven is preheated and the display will show your set temperature. This will take approximately 15–20 minutes.
Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible. If baking with more than one pan, place the pans so each has at least 1 to 1
1
2of air space around it.
Using the oven. www.GEAppliances.com
To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
Before you begin…
The racks have stops, so that when placed correctly on the supports, they will stop before coming completely out, and will not tilt.
When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out until it stops.
On some models, the bake heating element is under the oven floor. Do not place foods on the oven bottom for cooking.
To remove a rack, pull it toward you, tilt the front end up and pull it out.
To replace, place the end of the rack (stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the front and push the rack in.
CAUTION: When you are using the
rack in the lowest position (A), you will need to use caution when pulling the rack out. We recommend that you pull the rack out several inches and then, using two pot holders, pull the rack out by holding the sides of it. The rack is low and you could be burned if you place your hand in the middle of the rack and pull all the way out. Be very careful not to burn your hand on the door when using the rack in the lowest position (A).
The oven has 7 rack positions.
How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting
Touch the BAKE pad.
Touch the number pads to set the desired temperature.
Touch the START pad.
Check food for doneness at minimum time on recipe. Cook longer if necessary.
Touch the CLEAR/OFF pad when cooking is complete.
NOTE: A cooling fan will automatically turn on and off to cool internal parts. This is normal, and the fan may continue to run even after the oven in turned off.
If baking four cake layers at the same time, place two layers on rack B and two layers on rack D. Stagger pans on the rack so one is not directly above the other.

How to Set the Oven for Broiling
Leave the door open to the broil stop position. The door stays open by itself, yet the proper temperature is maintained in the oven.
IMPORTANT: To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
NOTE: Food can be broiled with the door closed, but it may not brown as well because the oven heating element will cycle on and off.
Place the meat or fish on the broiler grid in the broiler pan.
Follow suggested rack positions in the Broiling Guide.
Touch the BROIL HI/LO pad once for
HI Broil.
To change to LO Broil, touch the BROIL HI/LO pad again.
Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry or thick cuts of meat thoroughly without over-browning them.
Touch the START pad.
When broiling is finished, touch the
CLEAR/OFF pad.
NOTE: Broil will not work if the temperature
probe is plugged in.
The size, weight, thickness, starting temperature and your preference of doneness will affect broiling times. This guide is based on meats at refrigerator temperature.
The U.S. Department of
Agriculture says “Rare beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to only 140°F means some food poisoning organisms may survive.” (Source: Safe Food Book. Your Kitchen Guide. USDA Rev. June 1985.)
If your range is connected to 208 volts, rare steaks may be broiled by preheating the broiler and positioning the oven rack one position higher.

Using the probe. (on some models) www.GEAppliances.com
For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal food temperature is the best test for doneness. The temperature probe takes the guesswork out of roasting by cooking foods to the exact doneness you want.
Use of probes other than the one provided with this product may result in damage to the probe or oven control.
Use the handles of the probe and plug when inserting and removing them from the food and outlet.
To avoid damaging your probe, do not use
tongs to pull on the cable when removing it.
To avoid breaking the probe, make sure food
is completely defrosted before inserting.
To prevent possible burns, do not unplug the
probe from the outlet until the oven has cooled.
Never leave your probe inside the oven during
a self-cleaning cycle.
Do not store the probe in the oven.
The temperature probe has a skewer-like probe at one end and a plug at the other end that goes into the outlet in the oven.
After preparing the meat and placing it on a trivet or on the broiler pan grid, follow these directions for proper probe placement.
Insert the probe completely into the meat. It should not touch bone, fat or gristle.
For roasts with no bone, insert the probe into the meatiest part of the roast. For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the center of the lowest large muscle.
Insert the probe into the center of dishes such as meat loaf or casseroles.
Insert the probe into the meatiest part of the inner thigh from below and parallel to the leg of a whole turkey.

Because heated air is circulated evenly throughout the oven, foods can be baked with excellent results using multiple racks.
The amount of time required for multi-rack baking may increase slightly for some foods, but overall time is saved because two to three times as much food is cooked at once. Cookies, muffins, biscuits, and other quick breads give good results with multi-rack baking.
To cook food on more than one rack in convection bake, use CONVECTION BAKE MULTI or CONVECTION BAKE (depending on model).
When baking on 3 racks, place one rack in the second (B) position, one in the fourth (D) position and one in the sixth (F) position. If pans will not fit, use rack positions B, D and F
Using the convection oven.
Adapting Recipes…
You can use your favorite recipes in the convection oven.
When convection baking, the Auto Recipe™Conversion feature automatically reduces the set regular baking temperature by the recommended 25°F. See Auto Recipe™Conversion in the Special Features section.
Use pan size recommended.
Some package instructions for frozen
casseroles or main dishes have been developed using commercial convection ovens. For best results in this oven, preheat the oven and use the temperature on the package.
Convection Fan
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 with convection heat.
NOTE: The convection fan will cycle on and off while cooking to best distribute hot air in the oven.
The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened. DO NOT leave the door open for long periods of time while using convection cooking or you may shorten the life of the convection heating element.
Multi-Rack Convection Baking
Multi-rack position.
The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food using the bake and broil elements.
When convection baking with only 1 rack, use CONVECTION BAKE 1 RACK or CONVECTION BAKE (depending on model) and for best results place the rack on shelf C or D at the center of the oven. Cook times may decrease, so food should be checked earlier than package directions to make sure that it does not overcook.
Ideal for evenly browned baked foods cooked
on 1 rack and for large foods. Additionally, some time savings may be noticed.
Good results with cookies, biscuits, muffins,
brownies, cupcakes, cream puffs, sweet rolls, angel food cake and bread.

You will hear a fan while cooking with
convection. The fan will stop when the door is opened, but the heat will not turn off.
You may hear the oven clicking during
baking. This is normal.
Cookware for Convection Cooking
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 baking can also be used for convection baking, but should not be used at temperatures higher than the temperature recommended by the cookware manufacturer. Plastic cookware that is heat-resistant to temperatures of 400°F can also be used.
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.
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 Convection Baking or Roasting
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 rotisserie. Using the roasting rack provided, 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.
When you are convection roasting it is important that you use the broiler pan
and grid and the special roasting rack for best convection roasting results. The pan is used to catch grease spills and the grid is used to prevent grease spatters, while the rack allows the heated air to circulate under the meat and increase browning on the underside of the meat or poultry.
Place the oven rack in the position
that centers the food between the top and bottom of the oven.
Place the grid on the broiler pan
and put the roasting rack over them, making sure the posts on the roasting rack fit into the holes in broiler pan.
Place the meat on the roasting rack.

Adjust the oven thermostat—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 only affect baking and roasting temperatures; it will not affect broiling, convection or self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.
To Adjust the Thermostat
Touch the BROIL HI/LO and BAKE pads at the same time for 3 seconds until the display shows SF.
Touch the BAKE pad. A two digit number shows in the display.
Touch BAKE again to alternate between increasing and decreasing the oven temperature.
The oven temperature can be adjusted up to (+) 35ºF hotter or (-) 35ºF cooler. Touch the number pads the same way you read them. For example, to change the oven temperature 15ºF, touch 1 and 5.
When you have made the adjustment, touch the START pad to go back to the time of day display. Use your oven as you would normally.
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.

Care and cleaning of the range.
www.GEAppliances.com
Be sure all controls are off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.
Control Knobs
The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning.
Before removing the knobs for cleaning, please note that the knobs are in the OFF position. When replacing the
knobs, check the OFF position to insure proper placement.
Wash the knobs in soap and water or a vinegar and hot water solution but do not soak.
How to Remove Packaging Tape
To assure no damage is done to the finish of the product, the safest way to remove the adhesive left from packaging tape and cooktop labels on new appliances is an application of a household liquid dishwashing detergent, mineral oil or cooking oil.
Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak. Wipe dry and then apply an appliance polish to thoroughly clean and protect the surface.
NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all parts. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.
If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the anti-tip device is reengaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to take this precaution could result in tipping of the range and cause injury.

Burner Assembly

The burner assemblies should be washed regularly and, of course, after spillovers.
Turn all controls off before removing burner parts.
The burner grates, burner heads and burner caps can be removed for easy cleaning.
The electrode of the spark igniter is exposed beyond the surface of the burner base. When cleaning the cooktop, be careful not to snag the electrode of the spark igniter with your cleaning cloth. Damage to the igniter could occur.
To avoid snagging a cloth on the spark igniter, leave the burner heads in place when cleaning the cooktop.
Be careful not to push in any cooktop controls while cleaning the cooktop. A slight electrical shock might result which could cause you to knock over hot cookware.
Wash burner parts with an all-purpose non-abrasive cleaner and warm water. Soak stubborn soil. Dry them with a cloth—do not reassemble while wet.
To reassemble, replace the burner head first, then the burner cap and finally the burner grate. Be sure the pins in the burner head are properly located in the burner base holes.
CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THE BURNER WITHOUT ALL BURNER PARTS IN PLACE.

Burner Grates and Center Grate

Porcelain enamel burner grates and the vent grille should be washed regularly and, of course, after spillovers.
Wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. You may also use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads to clean burner grates and the vent grille. Dry the grates and grille with a cloth— don’t put them back on the cooktop wet.
To get rid of burned-on food, place the grates and grille in a covered container. Add 1/4 cup ammonia and let them soak several hours or overnight. Wash, rinse well and dry.
Although they’re durable, the grates and grille will gradually lose their shine, regardless of the best care you can give them. This is due to their continual exposure to high temperatures.
Do not operate a burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the
grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.
After cleaning, replace the center grille first. Replace the side grates so that the notches lock over the tabs on the center grate. Make sure the grates are positioned securely over the burners and that they are stable and level.
Rubber Grate Feet
For stability, your cooktop has rubber feet on the burner grates. If any of these rubber feet should become damaged or lost, replace them immediately.

the door liner can be cleaned with a soap-filled or plastic scouring pad, hot water and detergent. Rinse well with a vinegar and water solution.
To clean the outside of the door:
Use soap and water to thoroughly
clean the top, sides and front of the oven door. Rinse well. You may also use a glass cleaner to clean the glass
on the outside of the door. Do not let water drip into the vent openings.
If any stain on the door vent trim is
persistent, use a soft abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results.
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices,
tomato sauces and basting materials containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. When surface is cool, clean and rinse.
Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning
