Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips Care and Cleaning Operating Instructions Safety Instructions

To reduce the risk of tipping the range, the range must be secured by a properly installed anti-tip bracket. See installation instructions shipped with the bracket for complete details before attempting to install.
To check if the bracket is installed and engaged properly, remove the storage drawer or kick panel and look underneath the range to see that the leveling leg is engaged in the bracket. On models without a storage drawer or kick panel, carefully tip the range forward. The bracket should stop the range within 4 inches. If it does not, the bracket must be reinstalled. If the range is pulled from the wall for any reason, always repeat this procedure to verify the range is properly secured by the anti-tip bracket.
Never completely remove the leveling legs or the range will not be secured to the anti-tip device properly.
If you did not receive an anti-tip bracket with your purchase, call 1.800.626.8774 to receive one at no cost (in Canada, call 1.800.561.3344). For installation instructions of the bracket, visit GEAppliances.com (in Canada, GEAppliances.ca).
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.
WARNING
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.
Never leave the surface units unattended
at high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
Do not use aluminum foil to line the drip pans
or anywhere in the oven, except as described in this manual. Misuse could result in a shock, fire hazard or damage to the range.
Be sure the drip pans and the vent duct are not
covered and are in place. Their absence during cooking could damage range parts and wiring.
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.

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 in place of pot holders.
For your safety, never use your appliance for
warming or heating the room.
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 let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the range.
Keep the hood and grease filters clean to
maintain good venting and to avoid grease fires.
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 oven can be smothered completely
by closing the oven door and turning the oven off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
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 the oven door.
REMEMBER:
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 in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
WARNING!
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.
COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…
Use proper pan size—select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit 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.
SURFACE COOKING UNITS
SURFACE COOKING UNITS (cont.)
Always turn the surface units off before
removing cookware.
Do not immerse or soak the removable surface
units. Do not put them in a dishwasher. Do not self-clean the surface units in the oven.
When preparing flaming foods under the hood,
turn the fan on.
To avoid the possibility of a burn or electric
shock, always be certain that the controls for all surface units are at the
OFF
position and all coils are cool before attempting to lift or remove a unit.
Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge
is used to wipe spills on a hot cooktop, be careful to avoid steam burns.
Keep an eye on foods being fried at high 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.
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.
Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible
to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips Care and Cleaning Operating Instructions Safety Instructions
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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 shelf in the desired position
while the oven is cool. If shelves must be handled when hot, do not let pot holder contact the heating elements.
Pulling out the shelf 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.
When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.
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.
Improper installation of aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
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.
WARNING!
OVEN
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-cleaning 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 shiny,
silver-colored oven shelves (on some models) and all 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.
Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s Manual.

Surface Cookware Tips
Use medium- or heavy-weight cookware. Aluminum cookware conducts heat faster than other metals. Cast-iron and coated cast-iron cookware are slow to absorb heat, but generally cook evenly at low to medium heat settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly if not combined with other metals.
For best cooking results, pans should be flat on the bottom. Match the size of the saucepan to the size of the surface unit. The pan should not extend over the edge of the surface unit more than 1″.
Not over 1 inch.

Home Canning Tips
Be sure the canner is centered over the surface unit.
Use recipes and procedures from reputable sources. These are available from manufacturers such as Ball®and Kerr®and the Department of Agriculture Extension Service.
To prevent burns from steam or heat, use caution when canning.
Use only flat-bottomed woks.
Wok Cooking
We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed wok. They are available at your local retail store.
Do not use woks that have support rings.
Placing the ring over the surface unit will cause a buildup of heat that will damage the porcelain cooktop.
Do not use round bottom woks. You could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.

To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
Before you begin…
The shelves have stop-locks, so that when placed correctly on the shelf supports (A through F), they will stop before coming completely out, and will not tilt.
When placing and removing cookware, pull the shelf out to the bump on the shelf support.
To remove a shelf,
pull it toward you, tilt the
front end up and pull it out.
To replace,
place the end of the shelf (stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the front and push the shelf in.
CAUTION: When you are using the shelf in the lowest position (A), you will need to use caution when pulling the shelf out. We recommend that you pull the shelf out several inches and then, using two pot holders, pull the shelf out by holding the sides of it. The shelf is low and you could be burned if you place your hand in the middle of the shelf and pull all the way out. Be very careful not to burn your hand on the door when using the shelf in the lowest position (A).

Follow suggested shelf positions in the
Broiling Guide.
If your range is connected to 208 volts, rare steaks may be broiled by preheating the broiler and positioning the oven shelf one position higher.
Use
Lo Broil
to cook foods such as poultry or thick cuts of meat thoroughly without over-browning them.
Touch the
Broil Hi/Lo
pad once for
Hi Broil.
To change to
Lo Broil,
touch the
Broil Hi/Lo
pad again.
