IMPORTANTSAFETYNOtiCE
The California Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement 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.
Gasappliances 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.

disassemble or clean around any burner
while another burner is on. An electric
shock may result, which could cause you
to knock ()vet" hot cookware.
The smaller burner (right rear position)
will give the best simmer results fl)r
delicate fi)ods, Stlch as satlces or fi)ods
which need to cook over low heat tot a
long time. It can be turned down to a ve_'
low setting.
How to Select Flame Size
For safe handling of cookware, never let the flames
extend up the sides of the cookware.
_'m'h the flame, not the knob, as you
reduce heat. The flame size on a gas
burner should match the cookware
VOII aI'e rising.
In Case of Power Failure
In case ot a power tifilure, you can light
the gas surli_ce burne_ on your range
with a match. Hold a lit match to the
burner, then push in and turn the control
knob to the LifEposition. Use extreme
caution when lighting burnexs this way.
The largest burners are higher powered
than the othe_ and will bring liquids to

Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat tile oven if tile recipe calls for it.
Preheating is necessary t0r good results
when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and
breads.
Topreheat,set theovenat the correcttemperature.
Thecontrol will beepwhen the oven/s preheated
andthe display w#l show yourset temperature.
Thiswill take approximately15-20 minutes.
Aluminum Foil
Ym can use almninmn fifil m line tile
broiler pan and broiler grid. However;
you must mold tile foil tightly to tile grid
and cut slits in it just like tile grid.
Without tile slits, tile foil will prevent fat
and meat juices fl'om draining into tile
broiler pan. The juices could become
hot enough to catch on fire. If volt
do not cut tile slits, you are essemiallv
fl'_ing, not broiling.
Baking results Mll be better if baking
pans are centered in tile oven as much as
possible. If baking with more than one
pan, place tile pans so each has at least 1"
to 1½" of air space around it.
Donotusealuminumfoil onthebottomof
theoven.
Never entirely cover a rack with
almninmn fifil. This will disturb tile heat
circulation and result in poor baking.

Using the probe. (onsome 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.
