IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, electric
shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
ANTI-TIP DEVICE
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.
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.
If you did not receive an anti-tip bracket with your
purchase, call 1.800.626.8774 to receive one at no
cost (in Canada, call 1.800.561.3344). For installation
instructions of the bracket, visit GEAppliances.com
(in Canada, GEAppliances.ca).
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to
publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off a very small amount of carbon monoxide during
the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation
fan or hood.

COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F (71°C) and poultry
to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F (82°C). Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against
foodborne illness.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
RADIANT 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.
■ 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.
■ 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.
■ Do not place or store items that can melt
or catch fire on the glass cooktop, even
when it is not being used.
■ 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.
■ Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
■ Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The

WARNING!
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.
Safety Instructions Operating Instructions
■ 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.
SELF-CLEANING OVEN
■ 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.
Care and Cleaning
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.
■ 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.

■ 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.
Care and Cleaning
Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support
Do not slide cookware across the
cooktop because it can scratch the
glass—the glass is scratch-resistant,
not scratch-proof.
Temperature Limiter
Every radiant surface unit has a
temperature limiter.
The temperature limiter protects the
glass cooktop from getting too hot.
The temperature limiter may cycle the
units off for a time if:
■ The pan boils dry.
■ The pan bottom is not flat.
■ The pan is off center.
■ There is no pan on the unit.

Selecting types of cookware.
The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.
Check pans for flat bottoms by
using a straight edge.
Stainless Steel:
recommended
Aluminum:
heavyweight recommended
Good conductivity. Aluminum residues
sometimes appear as scratches on the
cooktop, but can be removed if cleaned
immediately. Because of its low melting
point, lightweight aluminum should not
be used.
Copper Bottom:
recommended
Copper may leave residues which can
appear as scratches. The residues can be
removed, as long as the cooktop is
cleaned immediately. However, do not let
these pots boil dry. Overheated metal can
bond to glass cooktops. An overheated
copper bottom pot will leave a residue
that will permanently stain the cooktop
if not removed immediately.
Glass-Ceramic:
usable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the
surface.
Stoneware:
usable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the
surface.
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®.
To prevent burns from steam or heat,
use caution when canning.
Pans with rounded, curved, ridged
or warped bottoms are not
recommended.
Use only flat-bottomed woks.
Porcelain Enamel-Covered Cast Iron:
recommended
As long as the cookware is covered
completely with porcelain enamel, this
cookware is recommended. Caution is
recommended for cast iron cookware
that is not completely covered with
smooth porcelain enamel, since it may
scratch the glass ceramic cooktop.
Wok Cooking
We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed
wok. They are available at your local retail store.
Do not use round-bottom woks. You
could be seriously burned if the wok
tipped over.

Note: Flat-bottomed canners are
required for glass cooktops.
Observe the Following Points in Canning
Pots that extend beyond 2.5 cm
of the surface unit’s circle are not
ecommended for most surface
r
cooking. However, when canning
with water-bath or pressure canner,
larger-diameter pots may be used.
This is because boiling water
temperatures (even under pressure)
are not harmful to the cooktop
surfaces surrounding the surface units.
HOWEVER, DO NOT USE LARGEDIAMETER CANNERS OR OTHER
LARGE-DIAMETER POTS FOR
FRYING OR BOILING FOODS
OTHER THAN WATER. Most syrup
or sauce mixtures—and all types of
frying—cook at temperatures much
higher than boiling water. Such
temperatures could eventually harm
the glass cooktop surfaces.
Be sure the canner fits over the
center of the surface unit. If your
cooktop or its location does not
allow the canner to be centered
on the surface unit, use smallerdiameter pots for good canning
results.
Flat-bottomed canners must be
used. Do not use canners with
flanged or rippled bottoms (often
found in enamelware) because
they don’t make enough contact
with the surface units and take
a long time to boil water.
NOTE: If your house has low voltage,
canning may take longer than expected,
even though directions have been
carefully followed. The process time will
be shortened by:
(1) using a pressure canner, and
( 2) starting with HOT tap water for fastest

Using the oven.
To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
Before you begin…
The oven has 7 rack positions.
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.
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.
How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting
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
the 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).
Do not place foods directly on the
oven floor.
Touch the BAKE pad.
Touch the number pads to set
the desired temperature.

NOTE: A cooling fan may automatically turn on
and off to cool internal parts. This is normal, and
the fan may continue to run even after the oven
in turned off.
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.

How to Set the Oven for Broiling
Safety Instructions Operating Instructions
If your range is connected to
208 volts, rare steaks may be
broiled by preheating the broiler
and positioning the oven rack one

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 (60°C)
means some food poisoning
organisms may survive.” (Source:

Using the probe.
For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal food temperature is the best test for doneness. The
temperature probe takes the guesswork out of roasting by cooking foods to the exact doneness you want.
The temperature probe has a
skewer-like probe at one end and a
plug at the other end that goes into
the outlet in the oven.
Use of probes other than the one
provided with this product may result in
damage to the probe or oven control.
Use the handles of the probe and plug
when inserting and removing them from
the food and outlet.
■ To avoid damaging your probe, do not use
tongs to pull on the cable when removing it.
■ To avoid breaking the probe, make sure food
is completely defrosted before inserting.
■ To prevent possible burns, do not unplug the
probe from the outlet until the oven has
cooled.
After preparing the meat and placing
it on a trivet or a broiler pan grid
designed for broiling, follow these
directions for proper probe placement.
Insert the probe completely into the
meat. It should not touch bone, fat or
gristle.
Plug
■ Never leave your probe inside the oven during
a self-cleaning cycle.
■ Do not store the probe in the oven.
For roasts with no bone, insert the probe
into the meatiest part of the roast. For
bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe
into the center of the lowest large muscle.
Insert the probe into the center of dishes
such as meat loaf or casseroles.
Insert the probe into the meatiest part of
the inner thigh from below and parallel
to the leg of a whole turkey.

The convection fan circulates the heated
air evenly over and around the food
using the bake and broil elements.
When convection baking with only 1 rack,
use CONVECTION BAKE 1 GRILLE and for best
results place the rack on rack C or D at the center
of the oven. Cook times may decrease, so food
should be checked earlier than package directions
to make sure that it does not overcook.
Multi-Rack Convection Baking
Because heated air is circulated evenly
throughout the oven, foods can be
baked with excellent results using
multiple racks.
The amount of time required for
multi-rack baking may increase slightly
for some foods, but overall time is saved
because two to three times as much food
is cooked at once. Cookies, muffins,
biscuits, and other quick breads give
good results with multi-rack baking.
Adapting Recipes…
Ideal for cooking large casseroles and

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

Metal and Glass
Any type of cookware will work in your

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.

Using the proofing and warming features.
The proofing feature maintains a warm environment useful for rising yeast-leavened products.
How to Set the Oven For Proofing
Place the covered dough in a dish in
the oven on rack B or C.
NOTE: For best results, cover the dough with a
cloth or with greased plastic wrap (the plastic
may need to be anchored underneath the
container so the oven fan will not blow it off).
Touch the PROOF pad and then the
START pad.
The display will read PrF (proof).
The oven interior light turns on and
remains on during proofing.
The proofing feature automatically
provides the optimum temperature for
the proofing process, and therefore does
not have a temperature adjustment.
Set the TIMER for the minimum
proof time.
How to Set the Oven For Warming
The warm feature keeps cooked foods
warm for up to 3 hours after the cooking
function is finished, or it can be activated
independently to keep already cooked
foods warm.
This feature is not designed to reheat
cold food.
To use this feature independently, touch
the WARM pad and then the START pad.
To activate this feature for use after
Timed Baking or Roasting, touch the
WARM pad after setting the desired
length of cooking time and before
touching START.
To Crisp Stale Items
■ Place food in low-sided dishes or pans.
■ For best results, place the food items in
a single layer. Do not stack.
■ Leave them uncovered.
When proofing is finished, touch
the RESET/OFF pad.
■ To avoid lowering the oven temperature
and lengthening proofing time, do not
open the oven door unnecessarily.
■ Check bread products early to avoid
over-proofing.
NOTE:
■ Do not use the proofing mode for warming
food or keeping food hot. The proofing oven
temperature is not hot enough to hold foods
at safe temperatures. Use the WARM feature
to keep food warm.
■ Proofing will not operate when oven is above
125°F (52°C). “HOT” will show in the display.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
■ Food should be kept hot in its cooking container
or transferred to a heat-safe
serving dish.
■ For moist foods, cover them with an oven-safe
lid or aluminum foil.
■ Fried or crisp foods do not need to be covered,
but can become too dry if warmed for too long.
■ 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.

Adjust the oven thermostat—Do it yourself! w
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 Fahrenheit (11–22 degrees Celsius).
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.

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.
Care and Cleaning
Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support
Some government 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.

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
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven
bottom.
We recommend venting your
kitchen with an open window or using a
ventilation fan or hood during the first
self-clean cycle.
Remove the racks, broiler pan, broiler
grid, probe, all cookware and any
aluminum foil from the oven.
The shiny, silver-colored oven racks
(on some models) 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.
How to Set the Oven for Cleaning
Touch the CLEAN 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 3 hours and 5 hours,
depending on how dirty your oven is.
Touch the START pad.
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.
When the LOCKED light goes off, you will
be able to open the door.
■ The word LOCKED will flash and the

the oven cools.
If white spots remain, remove them with a
soap-filled scouring pad and rinse thoroughly
with a vinegar and water mixture.
These deposits are usually a salt residue
that cannot be removed by the clean
cycle.
If the oven is not clean after one clean
cycle, repeat the cycle.
■ You cannot set the oven for cooking

Oven Racks
All oven racks may be cleaned by hand
with an abrasive cleaner or steel wool.
After cleaning, rinse the racks with clean
water and dry with a clean cloth. Gray
porcelain-coated oven racks may remain
in the oven during the self-cleaning
cycle without being damaged. The shiny,
silver-colored oven racks may remain
in the oven during the self-cleaning
cycle, but they will lose their luster and
become hard to slide.
Storage Drawer Removal
Clean the oven floor with warm
soapy water.
When reinstalling the oven floor, be
sure to slide it all the way to the back
of the oven.
IMPORTANT: Always replace the
removable floor before the next use.
It will be necessary to grease all oven
rack side edges with a light coating of
vegetable oil after cleaning them by hand
or in the oven. This will help maintain
the ease of sliding the racks in and out of
the oven.

Use a new 120/130-volt halogen
bulb, not to exceed 50 watts.
Replace the bulb with the same type
of bulb that was removed. Your
model will have one of the two types
shown on the left. To determine
the correct replacement bulb, check
the bulb terminals. Bulbs with 2
straight pin terminals are G6.35
bulbs. Bulbs with 2 looped terminals
are G9 bulbs. (Do not interchange.)
Be sure the replacement bulb is
rated 120 volts or 130 volts (NOT
12 volts).
Receptacle
Use gloves
or cloth
Using gloves or a dry cloth, remove
the bulb from its packaging. Do not

such as jelly or fudge and
have a spillover, it can cause
permanent damage to the glass
surface unless the spillover is
immediately removed.
Damage from Sugary Spills and Melted Plastic
Turn off all surface units. Remove
hot pans.
Wearing an oven mitt:
a. Use a single-edge razor blade
scraper (Ceramic Cooktop
Scraper) to move the spill to a
cool area on the cooktop.
b. Remove the spill with
paper towels.
If pots with a thin overlay of
aluminum or copper are allowed
to boil dry, the overlay may leave
black discoloration on the cooktop.
This should be removed
immediately before heating
again or the discoloration may
be permanent.
CAUTION: Carefully check the
bottom of pans for roughness that would scratch
the cooktop.
Any remaining spillover should be
left until the surface of the cooktop
has cooled.
Don’t use the surface units again
until all of the residue has been
completely removed.
NOTE: If pitting or indentation in the glass
surface has already occurred, the cooktop glass
will have to be replaced. In this case, service will
be necessary.
