PREPARATION
Installing the Range
Your range, like many other household items, is
heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings such
as cushioned vinyl or carpeting. Be careful when
moving the range on this type of flooring. It should
be installed on a 1/4" thick sheet of plywood (or
similar material) as follows:
Leveling the Range
Leveling screws may be located on each corner of
the base. By removing the bottom drawer you can
level the range to an uneven floor by adjusting the
leveling legs.
When the floor covering ends at the J_ont 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.
To remove the drawer, pull the drawer out all the
way, tilt up the front and remove it. To replace, insert
the glides at the back of the drawer beyond the stop
on the range glides. Lift the drawer if necessary to
insert it easily. Let the front of the drawer down, then
push it in to close.

SURFACE CONTROLS
At both OFF and HI the control "clicks" into position. You may hear slight
"clicking" sounds during cooking, indicating the control is keeping the unit
at the heat level or power level you set.
Switching heats to higher settings always shows a quicker change than
switching to a lower setting.
How to Set the Controls
Push the knob in and
turn in either direction
to the desired heat setting.
Cooking Guide for Using Heat Settings
HI--Quick start for cooking; bring water to a boil.
Medium High--(Setting halfway between HI and
MED.) Maintains a fast boil on large amounts of food.
MED--Sautd and brown; maintain slow boil on lmge
amount of food.
Medium Low--(Setting halfway between MED and
LO.) Cook after starting at HI; cooks with little water
in a covered pan.
LO--Steam rice, cereal; maintain serving
temperature of foods. Slow cooking and simmering.
At LO settings, melt chocolate, butter on a small
surface unit.
NOTE: At HI and Medium High, never leave food
unattended. Boilovers cause smoking; greasy
spillovers may catch fire.
The control must be pushed in to set only from
the OFF position. When the control is in any
position other than OFF, it may be turned without
pushing it in.
Be sure you turn control to OFF when you finish
cooking.
The surface unit indicator light will glow when

Cookware
www.GEAppliances.com
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 fiat 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 inch.
Not over 1 inch Over 1 inch
Deep Fat Frying
Do not overfill cookware with fat that may spill over when adding food.
Frosty foods bubble vigorously. Watch food frying at high temperatures.
Keep the range and hood clean from grease.
Wok Cooking
We recommend that you use _x
only a fiat-bottomed wok. _ f
They are available at your
local retail store.
Do not use woks that have
support rings. Use of these
types of woks, with or
without the ring in place,
can be dangerous. Placing
the ring over the surface
unit will cause a build-up of heat that will damage
the porcelain cooktop. Do not try to use such woks
without the ring. You could be seriously burned if the
wok tipped over.
