Safety Instructions
Operating 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.
For Freestanding Ranges:
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
10.2 cm (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. 1 800 561 3344 to receive at no cost. For installation

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 near by the surface units or any interior area of
the oven; allow sufficient time for cooling first. Other
surfaces of the appliance may be come hot enough
to cause burns. Potentially hot surfaces include the
cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening,
surfaces near the opening and crevices around the
oven door.
Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could
build up and the container could burst, causing an
injury.
Do not use aluminum foil to line drip pans or any where
in the oven, except as described in this manual. Foil can
trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product
and a shock or fire hazard.
Avoid scratching or impacting glass doors, cook tops or
control panels. Doing so may lead to glass breakage. Do
not cook on a product with broken glass Shock, fire or
cuts may occur.
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly ―meat to at least
an internal temperature of 71.1 °C (160 °F) and poultry
to at least an internal temperature of 82.2 °C (180°F)―
Cooking to these temperatures usually protects
against foodborne illness.

flaming pan. Turn the controls off Smother a flaming
pan on a surface unit by overing 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.
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.
Use proper pan size―select cookware having flat
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.
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 forcethe 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 near by surface units.
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
result in ignition of items on or near the cooktop, leading
to serious injury or death.

Selecting types of cookware.GEAppliances.ca
The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.
Safety Instructions
Check pans for at 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.
Glass-Ceramic:
usable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Stoneware:
usable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Home Canning Tips:
Be sure the canner is centered over
the surface unit.
Make sure the canner is flat on the bottom.
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.

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 2.5 cm
1 inch.
Wok Cooking
Troubleshooting Tips
Consumer Support
Use only at-bottomed woks.
We recommend that you use only a flatbottomed wok. They are available at your
local retail store.
Do not use woks that have support rings.
Use of these types of woks, with or without
the ring in place, can be dangerous.
Placing the ring over the surface unit will
cause a buildup of heat that will damage
the porcelain cooktop. Do not try to use
such woks without the ring. You could
be seriously burned if the wok tips over.

Preheating and Pan Placement
Safety Instructions
GEAppliances.ca
Do not place foods directly
on the oven r.
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct
temperature. Preheating is necessary for
good results when baking cakes, cookies,
pastry and breads.
The control will beep when the oven is
preheated and the display will show your
set temperature. This will take approximately
15–20 minutes.
Aluminum Foil
Do not use aluminun foil on the bottom
of the oven.
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch
a spillover by placing it on a lower rack
several inches below the food.
How to Set the Oven for Broiling
NOTE: Close the door before start any
broiling function.
Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry
or thick cuts of meat thoroughly without
overbrowning them.
Place the meat or fish on a broiler grid
in a broiler pan designed for broiling.
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 11⁄2"
of air space around it.
Operating Instructions
Never entirely cover a rack with aluminum
foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and
result in poor baking.
Care and CleaningTroubleshooting Tips
Touch the BROIL HI/LO pad once
for HI Broil.
To change to LO Broil, touch
the BROIL HI/LO pad again.

Adjust the oven thermostat―Easy to do yourself!GEAppliances.ca
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.

Before a Clean Cycle
Safety Instructions
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom.
For the first self-clean cycle, we recommend
venting your kitchen with an open window
or using a ventilation fan or hood.
Remove the racks, broiler pan, broiler grid, all
cookware and any aluminum foil from
the oven.
The oven racks can be self-cleaned,
but they will darken, lose their luster
and become hard to slide.
Soil on the front frame of the range and
outside the gasket on the door will need
to be cleaned by hand. Clean these areas
with hot water, soap-filled steel-wool pads
or cleansers such as Soft Scrub®.
Rinse well with clean water and dry.
Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass
material of the oven door gasket cannot
withstand abrasion. It is essential for the
gasket to remain intact. If you notice it
becoming worn or frayed, replace it.
Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the oven
bottom.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place
and the oven light is off.
CAUTION: The grates and drip
pans (on some models) should never be
cleaned in the self-cleaning oven.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners or
oven protectors in or near the self-cleaning
oven. A combination of any of these products
plus the high clean cycle temperatures may
damage the porcelain finish of the oven.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is
extremely sensitive to the fumes given off
during the self-cleaning cycle of any range.
Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
How to Set the Oven for Cleaning

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 soap-filled 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.
If the oven is not clean after one clean cycle,
repeat the cycle.

Care and cleaning of the range.
Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.
If your range is removed for cleaning,
servicing or any reason, be sure the
anti-tip device is re-engaged properly
Oven Interior (non-self-clean models)
With proper care, the porcelain enamel finish
on the inside of the oven―top, bottom, sides,
back and inside of the door―will stay new-
looking for years.
Let the range cool before cleaning.
We recommend that you wear rubber
gloves when cleaning the range.
Soap and water will normally do the job.
Heavy spattering or spillovers may require
cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner.
Soap-filled scouring pads may also be used.
Do not allow food spills with a high
sugar or acid content (such as milk,
tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or
pie filling) to remain on the surface. They may
cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
Household ammonia may make the cleaning
job easier. Place 1/2 cup in a shallow glass or
pottery container in a cold oven overnight.
when the range is replaced. Failure
to take this precaution could result in
tipping of the range and cause injury.
The ammonia fumes will help loosen
the burned-on grease and food.
If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner.
Follow the package directions.
Do not spray oven cleaner on the electrical
controls and switches because it could cause
a short circuit and result in sparking or fire.
Do not allow a film from the cleaner to build
up on the temperature sensor―it could cause
the oven to heat improperly. (The sensor is
located 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.
The gasket is designed with a gap at the
bottom to allow for proper air circulation.
Do not rub or clean 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.
Cleaning the Oven Door
To clean the inside of the door:
Because the area inside the gasket is
cleaned during the self-clean cycle,
you do not need to clean this by hand.
The area outside the gasket and 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 powders
or harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.
