If “F–” and a number or letter flash in the display and the oven control signals, this indicates a function error code.

If your oven was set for a timed oven operation and a power outage occurred, the clock and all programmed functions must be reset.

The time of day will flash in the display when there has been a power outage. Reset the clock.

If the function error code appears during the self-cleaning cycle, check the oven door latch. The latch handle may have been moved, even if only slightly, from the latched position. Make sure the latch is moved to the right as far as it will go.

Touch the Clear/Off pad. Allow the oven to cool for one hour. Put the oven back into operation. If the function

error code repeats, disconnect the power to the range and call for service.

Using the oven.

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

Before you begin…

The oven has 5 shelf positions. It also has a special low shelf

position (R) for extra large items, such as a large turkey.

Plastic items on the cooktop may melt if left too close to the vent.

CAUTION When you are

using a rack in the lowest position (R), 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 can be burned if you put your hand in the middle of the rack and pull all the way out.

If your model has a door latch, do not lock the oven door with the latch during baking or roasting. The latch is used for self-cleaning only.

How to Set the Upper Oven for Baking or Roasting

The oven has a special low shelf (R) position just above the oven bottom. Use it when extra cooking space is needed, for example, when cooking a large turkey. The shelf is not designed to slide out at this position.

When baking on a single rack, use the rack position from the chart for your type of food. Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible.

When baking four cake layers at a time,

use racks B and D. Place the lower

pans at the back of the rack and the upper pans to the front of the rack shown so that one pan is not directly above another.

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

Broiling Guide

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, Your Kitchen Guide, USDA Rev. June 1985.)

Do not lock the oven door with the latch during timed cooking. The latch is used for self-cleaning only. NOTE: Foods that spoil easily—such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, poultry and pork—should not be allowed to sit for more

than 1 hour before or after cooking. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria. Be sure that the oven light is off because heat from the bulb will speed harmful bacteria growth.

Special features of your oven control. (on some models)

GEAppliances.com

Your new touch pad control has additional features that you may choose to use. The following are the features and how you may activate them.

The special feature modes can only be activated while the display is showing the time of day. They remain in the control’s memory until the steps are repeated.

When the display shows your choice, touch the

Start/On pad. The special features will remain in memory after a power

failure. NOTE: The Sabbath feature and the Thermostat Adjustment feature are also Special Features, but they are addressed

separately in the following sections.

12 Hour Shut-Off

Using the Sabbath feature. (on some models)

(Designed for use on the Jewish Sabbath and Holidays)

The Sabbath feature can be used for baking/roasting only. It cannot be used for broiling, self-cleaning or delay start cooking.

NOTE: The oven light comes on automatically (on some models) when the door is opened and goes off when the door is closed. The bulb may be removed. See the Oven Light Replacement section. On models with a light switch on the control panel, the oven light may be turned on and left on.

Adjust the oven thermostat—Do it yourself! GEAppliances.com

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 not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.

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

LOCATION

Do not locate the range where it may be subject to strong drafts. Any openings in the floor or wall behind the range should be sealed. Make sure the openings around the base of the range that supply fresh air for combustion and ventilation are not obstructed by carpeting or woodwork.

Your.range,.like.many.other.household.items,.is.. heavy.and.can.settle.into.soft.floor.coverings.such.as. cushioned.vinyl.or.carpeting.Use.care.when.moving.. the.range.on.this.type.of.flooring.It.is.recommended. that.the.following.simple.and.inexpensive.instructions. be.followed.to.protect.your.floor

The.range.should.be.installed.on.a.sheet.of.plywood.. (or.similar.material).When.the.floor.covering.ends.at. the.front.of.the.range,.the.area.that.the.range.will.rest. on.should.be.built.up.with.plywood.to.the.same.level.or. higher.than.the.floor.covering.

This.will.allow.the.range.to.be.moved.for.cleaning.. or.servicing.Also,.make.sure.your.floor.covering.will. withstand.180°F.(See.the.Installation.Safety.Instructions. section)

Make.sure.the.wall.coverings.around.your.range.can. withstand.the.heat.generated.(up.to.200°F).by.the. range.(See.the..Installation Safety Instructions.section)

IMPORTANT!

For.proper.operation,.the.pressure.of.natural.gas.supplied. to.the.regulator.must.be.between.5”.and.13”.of.water. column.

For.LP.gas,.the.pressure.supplied.must.be.between.10”. and.13”.of.water.column.

When.checking.for.proper.operation.of.the.regulator,.. the.inlet.pressure.must.be.at.least.1".greater.than.the. operating.(manifold).pressure.as.given.above.

The.pressure.regulator.located.at.the.inlet.of.the.range. manifold.must.remain.in.the.supply.line.regardless.of. whether.natural.or.LP.gas.is.being.used.

A.flexible.metal.appliance.connector.used.to.connect.the. range.to.the.gas.supply.line.should.have.an.ID.of.1/2”. and.be.5.feet.in.length.for.ease.of.installation.In.Canada,. flexible.connectors.must.be.single.wall.metal.connectors. no.longer.than.6.feet.in.length

CONVERTING TO LP GAS

(or converting

back to natural gas from LP)

This range leaves the factory set for use with natural gas. If you want to convert to LP gas, the conversion must be performed by a qualified LP gas installer.

The.conversion.instructions.and.LP.orifices.can.be.found. attached.to.the.range.next.to.the.pressure.regulator

.CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS

Shut off the main gas supply valve before disconnecting the old range and leave it off until the new hook-up has been completed. Don’t forget to relight the pilot on other gas appliances when you turn the gas back on.

Because.hard.piping.restricts.movement.of.the.range,.the. use.of.a.CSA.International-certified.flexible.metal.appliance. connector.is.recommended.unless.local.codes.require.a. hard-piped.connection.
