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 1.800.561.3344 to receive one at no cost. For installation instructions of the bracket, visit GEAppliances.ca.

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

Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips Care and Cleaning Operating Instructions Safety Instructions
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.
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.
Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you do
flame 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.
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.
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.

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 shiny,
silver-colored oven racks (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.
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.
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. Improper installation of aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

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.
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.
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.
The WARM setting (on some models) in the right REAR surface unit keeps already heated food warm until ready to serve.

The oven has 6 rack positions.
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
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.
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 (1to 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.
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 A
Do not place foods directly on the oven floor.
Aluminum Foil
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.
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.

No need to preheat when cooking longer than 15 minutes.
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.
To help you understand the difference between convection bake and roast and traditional bake and roast, here are some general guidelines.
Convection Bake
Ideal for evenly browned baked foods cooked on multiple racks.
Good for large quantities of baked foods.
Good results with cookies, biscuits, brownies, cupcakes, cream puffs, sweet rolls, angel food cake and bread.
Heat comes from the heating element in the rear of the oven. The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food. Preheating is not necessary with foods having a bake time of over 15 minutes.
Convection Roast
Good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.
Heat comes from the top heating element. 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. 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 a broiler pan and grid designed for broiling for best convection roasting results. The pan is used to catch grease spills and the grid is used to prevent grease spatters.
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 than with regular heat.

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 ovens can be used in convection ovens. Plastic cookware that is heat-resistant to temperatures of 205°C (400°F). can also be used, when oven is below 205°C (400°F).
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.
When baking cookies, you will get the best results if you use a flat cookie sheet instead of a pan with low sides.
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.
How to Set the Oven for Convection Baking or Roasting
Multi-Rack 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 quick breads give very good results with multi-rack baking.
When baking on 3 racks, place one rack in the 2nd (B) position, one on the 4th (D) position and one rack in the 6th (F) position.
When convection baking with only 1 rack, follow the rack positions recommended in the Using the oven section.

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 Celsius (20–40 degrees Fahrenheit).
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
BROIL
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 (+) 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.

Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom.
Using the self-cleaning oven.
www.GEAppliances.ca
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 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.
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.
