IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING
IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, TAKE THE FOLLOWING
STEPS TO PREVENT THE FIRE FROM SPREADING:
■ 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.
■ If there is a fire in the oven during baking, smother the
fire by closing the oven door and turning the oven off or
by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.
WARNING
■ Never leave the surface units unattended at medium or
high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may catch on fire.
■ 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.
COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
■ If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean, turn the
oven off 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.
■ 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.
■ 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.
■ 8VHSURSHUSDQVL]H³VHOHFWFRRNZDUHKDYLQJIODW
bottoms large enough to cover the surface heating
element. The use of undersized cookware will expose
a portion of the surface unit to direct contact and may
result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of
cookware to surface unit will also improve efficiency.
■ When preparing flaming foods under a hood, turn the
fan on.
■ If power is lost to an electric cooktop while a surface
unit is ON, the surface unit will turn back ON as soon
as power is restored. In the event of power loss, failure
to turn all surface unit knobs to the OFF position may

WARNING
■ Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface
of the cooktop will retain heat after the controls have
been turned off.
■ Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If glass cooktop
should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers
may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a
risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician
immediately.
■ Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The cooktop can be
scratched with items such as knives, sharp instruments,
rings or other jewelry, and rivets on clothing.
■ Do not place or store items that can melt or catch fire
on the glass cooktop, even when it is not being used. If
the cooktop is inadvertently turned on, they may ignite.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING
SELF-CLEANING OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(Some models)
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 gray or black porcelain-coated oven racks
and drip pans may be left in the oven. Do not use selfclean to clean other parts, such as shiny drip pans or
bowls.
■ 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.
WARNING
■ 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.
WARMING DRAWER/LOWER OVEN DRAWER SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
(Some models)
■ If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the oven off
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.
■ 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 lower drawer. The
foil will trap heat below, and upset the performance of
the oven. Foil can melt and permanently damage the
drawer bottoms.
■ Do not touch the heating element or the interior surface
of the drawer. These surfaces may be hot enough to

CAREFULLY.
Using the surface units. GEAppliances.com
Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.
Surface Cooking Controls
Your surface units and controls are designed to
give you a variety of heat settings for surface
unit cooking.
At both LO and HI positions, there is a slight
niche so control clicks at those positions;
HI marks the highest setting; LO, the lowest
setting.
How to Set the Controls
Push the control knob in.
Turn either clockwise or counterclockwise
to desired heat setting.
Control must be pushed in to set only from the
OFF position.
Heat Setting Guide
HI – Quick start for cooking; bring water to boil.
In a quiet kitchen, you may hear slight clicking
sounds during cooking, indicating heat settings
selected are being maintained.
Switching heats to higher settings always
shows a quicker change in temperature than
switching to lower settings.
When control is in any position other than OFF,
you can turn it without pushing in.
Be sure you turn control to OFF when you
finish cooking. An indicator light will glow when
ANY surface unit is on.
NOTE:
Medium
low
Medium
high
MEDIUM HIGH – Fast fry, pan broil; maintain
fast boil on large amount of food.
MED – Saute and brown; maintain slow boil on
large amount of food.
MEDIUM LOW – Cereal; maintain serving
temperature of most foods.
LO – Cook after starting at HI; cook with little
water in covered pan. Use to steam rice.
Cooking Tips
■ Use medium- or heavyweight cookware.
Aluminum cookware conducts heat faster
than other metals. Cast-iron and coated
cast-iron cookware is slow to absorb heat,
but generally cooks evenly at low or medium
heat settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly
if not combined with other metals.
■ Do not overfill cookware with fat that may
spill over when adding food. Frosty foods
bubble vigorously. Watch foods frying at high
temperatures. Keep range and hood clean
from accumulated grease.
At HI or MEDIUM HIGH, never leave food
unattended. Boilovers cause smoking;
greasy spillovers may catch fire.
At LO, melt chocolate, butter on small unit.
■ To conserve the most cooking energy, pans
should be flat on the bottom, have straight
sides and tight-fitting lids. Match the size
of the saucepan to the size of the surface
unit. A pan that extends more than an inch
beyond the edge of the drip pan traps heat,
which causes “crazing” (fine hairline cracks)
on porcelain, and discoloration ranging from
blue to dark gray on chrome drip pans.

About the radiant surface units...
The radiant cooktop features heating units
beneath a smooth glass surface.
NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new
cooktop is used for the first time. It is caused
by the heating of new parts and insulating
materials and will disappear in a short time.
Never cook directly on the glass.
Always use cookware.
Always place the pan in the center of
the surface unit you are cooking on.
The surface unit will cycle on and off to
maintain your selected control setting.
It is safe to place hot cookware on the glass
surface even when the cooktop
is cool.
Even after the surface units are turned off,
the glass cooktop retains enough heat to
continue cooking. To avoid overcooking,
remove pans from the surface units when
the food is cooked. Avoid placing anything
on the surface unit until it has cooled
completely.
Do not slide cookware across the cooktop
EHFDXVHLWFDQVFUDWFKWKHJODVV³WKHJODVVLV
scratch-resistant, not scratchproof.
A Hot indicator light will glow when any radiant element is hot
and will remain on (even after the unit is turned off) until the
surface is cool enough to touch.
A Burner On indicator light will glow when any surface unit
is on.
(on some models)
■ Water stains (mineral deposits) are
removable using the cleaning cream or fullstrength white vinegar.
■ Use of window cleaner may leave an
iridescent film on the cooktop. The cleaning
cream will remove this discoloration.
■ Don’t store heavy items above the cooktop.
If they drop onto the cooktop, they can
cause damage.
■ Do not use the surface as a cutting board.
Temperature Limiter
Every radiant surface unit has a temperature
limiter.
The temperature limiter protects the glass
cooktop from getting too hot.
The temperature limiter may cycle the units
off for a time if:
■ the pan boils dry.
■ the pan bottom is not flat.
■ the pan is off-center.
■ there is no pan on the unit.

Selecting types of cookware for
radiant glass cooktop models.
GEAppliances.com
The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.
Check pans for flat bottoms by
using a straight edge.
Stainless Steel:
recommended
Aluminum:
heavy weight recommended
Good conductivity. Aluminum residues
sometimes appear as scratches on the cooktop
but can be removed if cleaned immediately.
Because of its low melting point, thin weight
aluminum should not be used.
Copper Bottom:
recommended
Copper may leave residues which can appear
as scratches. The residues can be removed, as
long as the cooktop is cleaned immediately.
However, do not let these pots boil dry.
Overheated metal can bond to glass cooktops.
An overheated copper bottom pot will leave a
residue that will permanently stain the cooktop
if not removed immediately.
Porcelain Enamel on Cast Iron:
recommended if bottom of pan is coated
Porcelain Enamel on Steel:
not recommended
Heating empty pans can cause permanent
damage to cooktop glass. The enamel can melt
and bond to the ceramic cooktop.
Glass-ceramic:
not recommended
Poor performance. Will scratch the surface.
Stoneware:
not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Cast Iron:
not recommended - unless designed specifically
for glass cooktops
Poor conductivity and slow to absorb heat. Will
scratch the cooktop surface.
Pans with rounded, curved,
ridged or warped bottoms are not
recommended.
NOTE: Follow all cookware manufacturer’s recommendations when using any type of cookware on the ceramic cooktop.
For Best Results
■ Place only dry pans on the surface elements.
Do not place lids on the surface elements,

type of wok will not heat on glass surface
elements.
■ We recommend that you use only a flat-
bottomed wok. They are available at your
local retail store. The bottom of the wok
should have the same diameter as the
surface element to ensure proper contact.
■ Some special cooking procedures require
specific cookware such as pressure cookers
or deep-fat fryers. All cookware must have
flat bottoms and be the correct size.

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°F.
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling temperatures or the self cleaning temperatures (on some models). The
adjustment will be retained after a power failure.

7KHW\SHRIPDUJDULQHZLOODIIHFWEDNLQJSHUIRUPDQFH
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.

Using the self-cleaning oven.
Before a Clean Cycle
(on some models)
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven
bottom.
SELF
CLEAN
The oven must be cool in order to set the selfclean cycle.
We recommend venting your kitchen with an
open window or using a ventilation fan or hood
during the first self-clean cycle.
Remove broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware
and any aluminum foil from the oven.
The shiny, silver-colored oven racks (on some
models) can be self-cleaned, but they will
darken, lose their luster and become hard to
slide.
How to Set the Oven for Cleaning
Touch the Self Clean pad.
Using the + or – pad, enter the desired
clean time, if a time other than 4 hours is
needed.
Clean cycle time is normally 4 hours You can
change the clean time to any time between
2.5 and 5 hours, depending on how dirty your
oven is.
Touch the Start pad.
Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners. Clean the
top, sides and outside of the oven door with soap
and water.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover (on some
models) is in place and the oven light is off.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is
extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during
the self-cleaning cycle of any oven. Move birds to
another well-ventilated room.
When the Locked Door light is off, open the
door.
■ The words Lock Door will flash and the oven
control will signal if you set the clean cycle
and forget to close the oven door.
■ To stop a clean cycle, touch the Clear/Off
pad. When the Locked Door light goes off
indicating the oven has cooled below the
locking temperature, open the door.
The door locks automatically. The display
will show the clean time remaining. It will not
be possible to open the oven door until the
temperature drops below the lock temperature
and the Locked Door light goes off.
NOTE: For heavily soiled ovens use maximum
self clean cycle time (5 hours).

After a Clean Cycle
You may notice some white ash in the oven.
Wipe it up with a damp cloth after the oven
cools.
If white spots remain, remove them with a soapfilled steel wool pad and rinse thoroughly with a
vinegar and water mixture.
These deposits are usually a salt residue that
cannot be removed by the clean cycle.
The door locks automatically. The display
will show the start time. It will not be
possible to open the oven door until
the temperature drops below the lock
temperature and the Locked Door light
goes off.
When the Locked Door light goes off, open
the door.
■ You cannot set the oven for cooking until the
oven is cool enough for the door to unlock.
■ Apply a small amount of vegetable oil to a
paper towel and wipe the edges of the oven
racks with the paper towel. Do not spray with
Pam® or other lubricant sprays.
If the oven is not clean after one clean cycle,
repeat the cycle.

at the top of the oven.) Carefully wipe the sensor
clean after each oven cleaning, being careful not
to move the sensor as a change in its position
could affect how the oven bakes.
Do not spray any oven cleaner on the oven
door, handles or any exterior surface of the
oven, cabinets or painted surfaces. The cleaner
can damage these surfaces.
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.
■ 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
powders or harsh abrasives on the outside
of the door.
To clean the outside of the gasket
The gasket is designed with a gap at the
bottom to allow for proper air circulation.
Because the area inside the gasket is cleaned
during the self-clean cycle, you do not need to
clean this by hand on self-clean models.
The area outside the gasket and the front
frame can be cleaned with a soap-filled steelwool pad, hot water and detergent. Rinse well
with a vinegar and water solution.
Do not rub or clan the door gasket - it has an
extremely low resistance to abrasion.
If you notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed
or damaged in any way, or if it has become
displaced on the door, you should have it
replaced.
