Do not operate the oven or cooktop controls if the glass is broken. Food splatter or cleaning solution may penetrate a broken control panel or cooktop and create a risk of electrical shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately should your glass control panel or cooktop become broken.

■ Do not store flammable materials in an oven

or near the cooktop.

■ CAUTION: Items of interest to children

should not be stored in cabinets above a range or on the back of a range—children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.

■ 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.

■ 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 multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

■ For your safety, never use your appliance

for warming or heating the room.

■ Do not let cooking grease or other flammable

materials accumulate in or near the range.

■ 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.

■ 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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

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.

■ Never leave the surface units unattended at

high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

■ 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.

■ Always turn the surface units off before

removing cookware.

■ Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you do

flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

■ Use care when touching the cooktop.

The glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the controls have been turned off.

■ 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.

■ Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The

cooktop can be scratched with items such as sharp instruments, rings or other jewelry, and rivets on clothing.

■ Large scratches or impacts to glass doors or

cooktops can lead to broken or shattered glass.

■ Do not operate the radiant surface units if the

glass is broken. Spillovers or cleaning solution may penetrate a broken cooktop and create a risk of electrical shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately should your glass cooktop become broken.

■ Never use the glass cooktop surface as a

cutting board.

■ The surface units are automatically disabled

during the self-clean cycle. Make sure that all surface unit controls are turned off at all times during the self-clean cycle. Any surface unit that is set to an on position, while the self-clean cycle is operating, will automatically come on after the self-clean cycle is finished, and could result in an on, unattended surface unit. Wait until the self-clean cycle is finished to set and use the surface units.

■ Do not place or store items that can melt or

catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when it is not being used, or during the self-clean cycle.

■ Be careful when placing spoons or other

stirring utensils on glass cooktop surface when it is in use. They may become hot and could cause burns.

■ Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet

sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface unit, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

NOTE: We recommend that you avoid wiping any surface unit areas until they have cooled and the indicator light has gone off. Sugar spills are the

exception to this. Please see the Cleaning the glass cooktop section.

■ When the cooktop is cool, use only the

Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner and the Ceramic Cooktop Cleaning Pad to clean the cooktop.

■ To avoid possible damage to the cooking

surface, do not apply cleaning cream to the glass surface when it is hot.

■ After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper towel

to remove all cleaning cream residue.

■ Read and follow all instructions and warnings

on the cleaning cream labels.

■ Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic

may melt onto the surface and be very difficult to remove.

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.

■ CAUTION : DO NOT LEAVE FOOD OR COOKING

UTENSILS, ETC. IN THE OVEN OR ON THE COOKTOP DURING SELF-CLEANING MODE OF OPERATION.

■ 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 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.

■ Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s Manual.

■ The surface units are automatically disabled during

the self-clean cycle. Make sure that all surface unit controls are turned off at all times during the selfclean cycle. Any surface unit that is set to an on position, while the self-clean cycle is operating, will automatically come on after the self-clean cycle is finished, and could result in an on, unattended surface unit. Wait until the self-clean cycle is finished to set and use the surface units.

■ Gray porcelain-coated oven racks may be cleaned in

the oven during the self-clean cycle.

SELF-CLEANING OVEN

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.

■ 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.

OVEN

■ The purpose of the warming drawer is to hold hot

cooked foods at serving temperature. Always start with hot food; cold food cannot be heated or cooked in the warming drawer.

■ Do not use the drawer to dry newspapers.

If overheated, they can catch on fire.

■ Do not leave paper products, plastics, canned food

or combustible materials in the drawer.

■ Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in or near

your drawer.

■ Do not warm food in the drawer for more than two

hours.

■ Never place, use or self-clean the oven drawer pan in

the oven.

■ Do not touch the heating element or the interior surface

of the drawer. These surfaces may be hot enough to burn. REMEMBER: The inside surface of the drawer may be hot when the drawer is opened.

■ 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 which escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

■ Do not use aluminum foil to line the lower oven

drawer. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and will trap heat beneath it. This will upset the performance of the drawer and it could damage the interior finish.

WARMING DRAWER (on some models)

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.

About the radiant surface units.

NOTE: Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.

Never cook directly on the glass. Always use cookware.

About the Radiant Surface Units

WARNING: The surface

units are automatically disabled during the self-clean cycle. Make sure that all surface unit controls are turned off at all times during the self-clean cycle. Any surface unit that is set to an on position, while the self-clean cycle is operating, will automatically come on after the self-clean cycle is finished, and could result in an on, unattended surface unit. Wait until the self-clean cycle is finished to set and use the surface units.

The radiant cooktop features heating units beneath a smooth glass surface.

Cooktop temperatures increase with the number of surface units that are on. With 3 or 4 units turned on, surface temperatures are high. Always use caution when touching the cooktop.

An indicator light will come on when the surface unit is turned on.

The appropriate HOT surface indicator light will glow when its corresponding radiant element is turned on and will remain on until the surface has cooled below 65.5°C (150°F).

NOTE:

Hot surface indicator light will:

■ Come on when the surface unit is

turned on.

■ Stay on even after the unit is turned off.

■ Glow brightly until the unit has cooled

below 65.5°C (150°F).

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.

NOTE: On models with light-colored glass cooktops, it is normal for the cooking zones to change color when hot or cooling down. This is temporary and will disappear as the glass cools to room temperature.

It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven or surface on the glass cooktop when the surface 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.

■ Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable

using the cleaning cream or full strength 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.

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 Covered Cast Iron:

recommended

As long as the cookware is covered completely with porcelain enamel, this cookware is recommended. Caution is recommended for cast iron cookware that is not completely covered with smooth porcelain enamel, as it may scratch the glass ceramic cooktop.

Glass-ceramic:

usable, but not recommended

Poor performance. May scratch the surface.

Stoneware:

usable, but not recommended

Poor performance. May scratch the surface.

Check pans for flat bottoms by using a straight edge.

Pans with rounded, curved, ridged or warped bottoms are not recommended.

www.GEAppliances.ca

The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.

Use only flat-bottomed woks.

Home Canning Tips

Be sure the canner is centered over the surface unit.

Make sure the canner is flat on the bottom.

To prevent burns from steam or heat, use caution when canning.

Use recipes and procedures from reputable sources. These are available from manufacturers such as Ball®and Kerr®and the Department of Agriculture Extension Service.

Flat-bottomed canners are recommended. Use of water bath canners with rippled bottoms may extend the time required to bring the water to a boil.

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.

Do not use round-bottom woks. You could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.

To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on.

Before you begin…

The racks have stop-locks, so that when placed correctly on the rack supports (A through F), they will stop before coming completely out, and will not tilt.

When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out to the bump on the rack support.

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 6 rack positions.

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 6–10 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

2.5 cm to 3.8 cm (1 to 11⁄2″) of air space around it. 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.

Aluminum Foil

Never cover the oven bottom with 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.

Aluminum foil may also be used to catch a spillover. To do so, place a small sheet of foil on a lower rack several inches below the food.

Never entirely cover a rack with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking.

Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.

Center baking pans in the oven.

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.

Adjust the oven thermostat—Do it yourself!

www.GEAppliances.ca

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 6–11 degrees C (20–40 degrees F).

NOTE: This adjustment will only affect baking and roasting temperatures; it will not affect broiling or self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.

To Adjust the Thermostat

Touch the BAKE and BROIL 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 (+) 19°C (35ºF) hotter or (-) 19°C (35ºF) cooler. Touch the number pads the same way you read them. For example, to change the oven temperature 12°C (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.

When Using the Warming Drawer

The warming drawer will keep hot, cooked foods warm. Always start with hot food. Do not use to heat cold food other than crisping crackers, chips or dry cereal.

Do not line the warming drawer or pan with aluminum foil. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and will trap heat beneath it. This will upset the performance of the drawer and could damage the interior finish.

Allow approximately 25 minutes for the warming drawer to preheat.

■ Do not put liquid or water in the

warming drawer.

■ All foods placed in the warming drawer

should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil. When warming pastries or breads, the cover should be vented to allow moisture to escape.

■ Food should be kept hot in its cooking

container or transferred to a heat-safe serving dish.

CAUTION: Plastic containers or plastic wrap will melt if in direct contact with the drawer, pan or a hot utensil. Melted plastic may not be removable and is not covered under your warranty.

The oven door must be closed and all controls set correctly for the cycle to work properly.

Before a Clean Cycle

We recommend venting your kitchen with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood during the first self-clean cycle.

Remove the racks, broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware and any aluminum foil from the oven.

NOTE: If your oven is equipped with gray porcelain-coated oven racks, they may be left in the oven during the self-clean cycle.

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.

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.
