SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Page 4
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.
When preparing flaming 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.

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
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
convection roasting rack, broiler pan, grid and other cookware.
Shiny, silver-colored oven racks (on some
models) should be removed from the oven before beginning the self-clean cycle.
Gray porcelain-coated oven racks (on some
models) may be cleaned in the oven during the self-clean cycle.
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 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.
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.

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 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 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.

Using the oven.
To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
Before you begin…
The racks have stops, so that when placed correctly on the supports, they will stop before coming completely out, and will not tilt.
When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out until it stops.
On some models, the bake heating element is under the oven floor. Do not place foods on the oven bottom for cooking.
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 a
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).
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.
Touch the CLEAR/OFF pad when cooking is complete.
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 15–20 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 1to 11⁄2of 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.
Type of Food Rack Position
Frozen pies (on cookie sheet) D Angel food cake A Bundt or pound cakes B or C Biscuits, muffins, brownies, C or D
cookies, cupcakes, layer cakes, pies
Casseroles C or D Turkey on offset rack A
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.
Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meat juices from draining into the broiler pan. The juices could become hot enough to catch on fire. If you do not cut the slits, you are essentially frying, not broiling.
Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of the oven.
Never entirely cover a rack with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking.
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch a spillover by placing it on a lower rack several inches below the food.
Page 13
The size, weight, thickness, starting temperature and your preference of doneness will affect broiling times. This guide is based on meats at refrigerator temperature.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture
says “Rare beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to only 140°F means some food poisoning organisms may survive.” (Source: Safe Food Book. Y
our Kitchen Guide.
USDA Rev. June 1985.)
If your range is connected to 208 volts, rare steaks may be broiled by preheating the broiler and positioning the oven rack one position higher.

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 20–40 degrees.
NOTE: This adjustment will only affect baking and roasting temperatures; it will not affect broiling, convection or self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.
To Adjust the Thermostat
Touch the BROIL HI/LO and BAKE 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 (+) 35ºF hotter or (-) 35ºF cooler. Touch the number pads the same way you read them. For example, to change the oven temperature 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.

Offset racks
Using the convection oven. (on some models)
Convection Fan Operation
In a convection oven, a fan circulates hot air over, under and around the food.
This circulating hot air is evenly distributed throughout the oven cavity. As a result, foods are evenly cooked and browned—often in less time with convection heat.
NOTE: To maximize cooking evenness, the fan is designed to rotate in both directions, with a pause in between. This is normal.
The convection fan shuts off when the oven door is opened. DO NOT leave the door open for long periods of time while using convection cooking or you may shorten the life of the convection heating element.
Introduction
The convection oven comes with two convection baking modes started by touching the CONVECTION BAKE MULTI/ 1 RACK pad once or twice, depending on your cooking need:
MULTI—for convection cooking on more than one rack. Touch the CONVECTION
BAKE MULTI/1 RACK pad once. See the Multi-Rack Convection Baking section below.
1 RACK—for convection cooking on one rack only. Touch the CONVECTION BAKE
MULTI/1 RACK pad twice. See the 1-Rack Convection Baking section below.
Multi-Rack Convection Baking
Because heated air is circulated evenly throughout the oven, foods can be baked with excellent results using multiple racks.
Multi-rack baking may increase cook times slightly for some foods but the overall result is time saved. Cookies, muffins, biscuits and other quickbreads give very good results with multi-rack baking.
To cook food on more than one rack in convection bake, use CONVECTION BAKE MULTI.
When baking on 3 racks, place one offset rack in the third (C) position, the straight rack in the fourth (D) position and one offset rack in the sixth (F) position.
For two-rack baking, place one offset rack in the second (B) rack position. Place the straight rack in the fourth (D) rack position.
1-Rack Convection Baking
When convection baking with only 1 rack, use CONVECTION BAKE 1 RACK and follow the rack positions recommended in the Using the oven section.
Ideal for baked foods cooked on 1 rack.
Adapting Recipes…
You can use your favorite recipes in the convection oven.
When convection baking, the Auto Recipe™Conversion feature automatically reduces the set regular baking temperature by the recommended 25°F. See Auto Recipe™Conversion in the Special Features section.
Use pan size recommended.
Some package instructions for frozen
casseroles or main dishes have been developed using commercial convection ovens. For best results in this oven, preheat the oven and use the temperature on the package.

Convection Roast
Good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.
The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food. Meat and poultry are browned on all sides as if they were cooked on a rotisserie. Using the roasting rack provided, heated air will be circulated over, under and around the food being roasted. The heated air seals in juices quickly for a moist and tender product while, at the same time, creating a rich golden brown exterior.
When you are convection roasting it is important that you use the broiler pan and grid and the special roasting rack
for best convection roasting results. The pan is used to catch grease spills and the grid is used to prevent grease spatters, while the rack allows the heated air to circulate under the meat and increase browning on the underside of the meat or poultry.
Place a rack in the lowest rack position
(A).
Place the grid on the broiler pan
and put the roasting rack over them, making sure the posts on the roasting rack fit into the holes in broiler pan.
Place the meat on the roasting rack.
How to Set the Oven for Convection Baking or Roasting
Touch the CONVECTION BAKE MULTI/ 1 RACK pad once for multi-rack
convection baking. This mode is used for cooking food items on more than one rack (i.e., 2, 3 or more racks) at the same time in convection bake. See the Multi-Rack Convection Baking section for more information.
Touch the CONVECTION BAKE MULTI/ 1 RACK pad twice for one rack convection baking. This mode is used for cooking food items on only one rack in convection bake.
Touch the CONVECTION ROAST pad for convection roasting.
Touch the number pads to set the oven temperature.
Touch the START pad.
NOTE: If the Auto Recipe™Conversion Feature is on, it will automatically reduce the set regular baking temperature by 25°F to the appropriate
convection temperature. See Auto Recipe
Conversion in the Special Features section.
To change the oven temperature, touch the CONVECTION BAKE MULTI/1 RACK or CONVECTION ROAST pad and then the number pads to set the new temperature.
When the oven starts to heat, the changing temperature, starting at 100°F, will be displayed. When oven reaches the temperature you set, 3 beeps will sound.
Touch CLEAR/OFF pad when finished.
You will hear a fan while cooking with
convection. The fan will stop when the door is opened, but the heat will not turn off.
You may hear the oven clicking during baking.
This is normal.
In convection bake modes, for maximum cooking
evenness, the fan is designed to rotate in both directions, with a pause in between. This is normal.
Cookware for Convection Cooking
Before using your convection oven, check to see if your cookware leaves room for air circulation in the oven. If you are baking with several pans, leave space between them. Also, be sure the pans do not touch each other or the walls of the oven.
Paper and Plastic
Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers that are recommended for use in regular baking can also be used for convection baking, but should not be used at temperatures higher than the temperature recommended by the cookware manufacturer. Plastic cookware
that is heat-resistant to temperatures of 400°F can also be used.
Metal and Glass
Any type of cookware will work in your convection oven. However, metal pans heat the fastest and are recommended for convection baking.
Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake
faster than shiny pans.
Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.
For recipes like oven-baked chicken, use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot circulate well around food in a pan with high sides.

Repeated opening of the door allows the hot
air to escape and the food to cool.
Allow extra time for the temperature inside
the oven to stabilize after adding items.
With large loads it may be necessary to cover
some of the cooked food items.
Remove serving spoons, etc., before placing
containers in the oven.
Do not use plastic containers, lids or
plastic wrap.
CAUTION: Plastic containers, lids or
plastic wrap will melt if placed in the oven. Melted plastic may not be removable and is not covered under your warranty.

Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom.
Using the self-cleaning oven.
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 convection roasting rack, broiler pan, broiler grid, probe, all cookware and any aluminum foil from the oven.
NOTE:
If your oven is equipped with shiny, silver-
colored oven racks, remove them before you begin the self-clean cycle.
If your oven is equipped with gray porcelain-
coated oven racks, they may be left in the oven during the self-clean cycle.
The shiny, silver-colored oven racks (on some models) and the convection roasting rack 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.
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
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.
Touch the SELF CLEAN STD/LO pad once for a 4-hour clean time or twice for a 3-hour clean time.
A 3-hour self-clean time is recommended for use when cleaning small, contained spills. A self-clean time of 4 hours or longer is recommended for a dirtier oven.
If a time other than 4 hours or 3 hours is needed, use the number pads and enter the desired clean time.
You can change the clean time to any time between 2
1
2 hours and 5 hours,
depending on how dirty your oven is.
Touch the START pad.
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 light goes off.
When the LOCKED light goes off, you will be able to open the door.
The word LOCKED will flash and the
word door will display 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 light goes off indicating the oven has cooled below the locking temperature, you will be able to open the door.

An Anti-Tip bracket is supplied with instructions for installation in a variety of locations. The instructions include all necessary information to complete the installation. Read the Safety Instructions and the instructions that fit your situation before beginning installation.
WARNING —
Range must be secured by Anti-Tip bracket supplied.
If the Anti-Tip device supplied with the range does not fit this application, use the universal Anti-Tip device WB2X7909.
See instructions to install (supplied with bracket).
Unless properly installed, the range could be tipped by stepping or sitting on the door. Injury may result from spilled hot liquids or from the range itself.

LEVEL THE RANGE
Install the oven shelves in the oven and position the range where it will be installed.
Check for levelness by placing a spirit level or a cup, partially filled with water, on one of the oven shelves. If using a spirit level, take two readings—with the level placed diagonally first in one direction and then the other.
The front leveling legs can be adjusted from the bottom and the rear legs can be adjusted from the top or the bottom.
Use an open-end or adjustable wrench to adjust the leveling legs until the range is level.

FINAL INSTALLATION CHECKLIST
Check to make sure the circuit breaker is closed (RESET) or the circuit fuses are replaced.
Be sure power is in service to the building.
Check to be sure that all packing materials
and tape have been removed. This will include tape on metal panel under control knobs (if applicable), adhesive tape, wire ties, cardboard and protective plastic. Failure to remove these materials could result in damage to the appliance once the appliance has been turned on and surfaces have heated.
Check to make sure that the door and drawer are parallel to each other and that both operate smoothly. If they do not, see the Owner’s Manual for proper replacement.
Check to make sure that the rear leveling leg is fully inserted into the Anti-Tip bracket and that the bracket is securely installed.

OPERATION CHECKLIST
Turn on one of the surface units to observe that the element glows within 60 seconds. Turn the unit off when glow is detected. If the glow is not detected within the time limit, recheck the range wiring connections. If change is required, retest again. If no change is required, have building wiring checked for proper connections and voltage.
Check to make sure the Clock (on models so equipped) display is energized. If a series of horizontal red lines appear in the display, disconnect power immediately. Recheck the range wiring connections. If change is made to connections, retest again. If no change is required, have building wiring checked for proper connections and voltage. It is recommended that the clock be changed if the red lines appear.
Be sure all range controls are in the OFF position before leaving the range.
