FEATURED MODEL

ABOUT THIS TECHNICAL SERVICE GUIDE - FEATURED MODEL

The new XL44™ series of gas ranges encompass over 40 different models. We have selected one model which covers most of the new features and designs reflected in the XL44™ , 30" gas series of ranges. For model specific information, refer to the charts included in this Guide, on pages 8 & 9.

This service guide will focus primarily on the NEW changes introduced in the XL44™ series of ranges. What this guide will not cover are features, technology and serviceability that we have previously covered in prior training manuals. If you would like additional information on the XL44™ series of ranges which will not be coved in this manual, refer to the following previously issued training publications

A FULL RANGE OF POWER

When it comes to BTUs, the GE gas range delivers the highs, the lows and everything in between.

YOU DON'T COOK SPAGHETTI THE SAME WAY YOU SAUTÉ MUSHROOMS. You don't want a sauce to boil when it's supposed to simmer. For best results, different foods should be cooked over differing levels of heat. That's why, on GE gas ranges, each burner has its own BTU rating. The high-output burner provides quick heat-up and boiling—faster than the “high-power” burners found on most gas ranges. This burner supplies the intense heat needed for the lobster pot, pasta pan, or wok. At the other end of the spectrum is the ultra-low simmer burner. The simmer burner provides precise temperature control and the consistently gentle heating required for delicate foods or sauces. Between these extremes are two allpurpose burners with a mid-range of power, for cooking over medium heat. It all adds up to a full range of power, to help you control cooking with a greater degree of precision. And GE makes it so easy. Simply choose the burner and heat level best suited to the cooking—Maximum output, Precise simmer, or virtually any point

in between.

The unique TrueTemp™ System provides a more accurate and consistent heating performance.

GE TRUETEMP,™ THE MOST ACCURATE OVEN IN AMERICA! The guesswork is gone. The temperamental oven is a thing of the past.

GE's exclusive TrueTemp™ system manages and maintains the oven temperature you select. It's more accurate than any other leading brand. The SmartLogic™ electronic control, with a platinum sensor, constantly monitors the oven's performance to ensure more precise temperature management. (Even if you open the door when the oven is on, SmartLogic™ senses variations in temperature and responds to regain the selected setting.) The TrueTemp™ system also includes a new enhanced broil system, which distributes heat broadly and evenly for improved cooking performance. QuickSet electronic controls make it easy for you to set the oven temperature and the time for baking or broiling. And the extra-large oven, broiler pan and grid provide the capacity you need when cooking for a crowd.

ONLY GE GAS RANGES HAVE AN APPETITE THIS BIG

A sixth embossed rack position increases cooking flexibility.

THE LARGEST USABLE OVEN CAPACITY IN 30" FREE-STANDING MODELS* There's more oven space inside the GE 30" free-standing gas range—room for an entree and four casseroles, with space to spare. For baking, you have the flexibility of using as many as six racks, or as few as you wish. QuickSet touchpad controls make it easy to set the oven temperature and baking or broiling time. The oven is self-cleaning, and the range top needs only a wipe with a sponge to keep it shiny and bright. Burners are sealed to the cooktop, to keep spills from running below, and topped with stylish, square cast grates. Naturally, the burners have varying degrees of power, allowing you to choose the one most suitable for sautéing, simmering, heating or boiling. Whether you're hungry for capacity, flexibility or cleanability, no one understands how to satisfy your hunger like the range with the biggest appetite for customer satisfaction.

WE'VE PUT A NEW SPIN ON A GRATE TOP

GE's professional grate lets you slide hot pans on and off burners without lifting, balancing or spilling.

THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE IS THE STRIKING DESIGN. A bold, geometric pattern tops off this GE gas range, but there's more to the cooktop than its beauty. The big story here is convenience. The cast-iron platform, made up of two interlocking grates, provides a flat surface for cooking and meal

preparation. To switch cookware from one burner to another, you don't have to lift the pans, perform a balancing act, and risk spilling the contents. Just slide the pans from burner to burner. The cooktop design allows you to easily rotate pots and pans as needed—and it's especially helpful when you're handling a larger pot of bubbling soup or stew. The space in the center can be used for preparing foods or for transferring cooked foods to serving dishes. We've even simplified clean-up for you, by making the grates easy to uncouple and remove for washing. Since Americans do most of their cooking on top of the range, it just makes sense to build convenience into the cooktop design. That's the way we see it. And that's the way we've done it, “plain” and simple.
