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

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.

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.

The size, weight, thickness,

your preference of doneness
will affect broiling times. This
guide is based on meats at

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

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.

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.

DIMENSIONS AND CLEARANCES
Provide adequate clearances between the range and adjacent combustible surfaces. These dimensions must be
met for safe use of your range. The location of the electrical outlet and pipe opening (see Gas Pipe and Electric
Outlet Locations) may be adjusted to meet specific requirements.
The range may be placed with 0” clearance (flush) at the back wall.

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.

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

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.
