COOKPLEATAND POULTRYTHOROUGHLY...

Cook meat and poultr_t thoroughlg-meat to at least an INTERNALtemperature of 160°F and poultrg to at least on INTERNALtemperature of J80°K Cooking to these temperatures usuallg protects against

foedborne illness.

OVEN

Stand owog from the range when opening the door of o hot oven. The hot air and steam that escape

can cause burns to hands, face and eges. W_Do not use the oven for a storage area.

Items stored in the oven can ignite.

?_Keep the oven free from grease buildup. _ Place the oven shelves in the desired position

while the oven iscool.

_ Pulling out the shelf to the stopdock is a

convenience in lifting heavu foods. It is also a precaution against burns from touching hot

surfaces of the door or oven walls. The lowest

position is not designed to slide.

_ Do not heat unopened food containers.

Pressure could build up and the container

could burst, causing an injuru.

i_ Never use aluminum foil to line the oven

bottom. Improper use of foil could start

a fire and result in high carbon monoxide.

WARNING: NEVERcover

any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with

materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and

mau cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings mau also trap

heat, causing a fire hazard.

W,Do not use uour oven to dru newspapers.

If overheated, theu can catch fire.

?_Use only glass cookware that is recommended

for use in gas ovens.

?_Always remove any broiler pan from range

as soon as you finish broiling. Grease left in the

pan can catch fire if oven is used without

removing the grease from the broiler pan.

_ When broiling, if meat is too close to the flame,

the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to prevent excessive flare-ups.

_ Make sure any broiler pan is in place correctly

to reduce the possibility of grease fires.

?_If you should have a grease fire in a

broiler pan, turn off the oven control, and keep the broiler drawer and oven door closed to

contain fire until it burns out.

_ For safety and proper cooking performance,

always bake and broil with the oven door closed.

_ When using cooking or roasting bags in the

oven, follow the manufacturer's directions.

_ For continuous clean models, do not use oven

cleaners on any of the continuous cleaning surfaces. Continuous cleaning surfaces can

be identified by their rough surface finish.

WARNING!

SURFACEBURNERS

Use proper pan size-avoid pans that are unstable or easilg tippe4 Select coot<ware having flat bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. Toovoid spillovers, mare sure cookware is large enough

to contain the food properly. Thiswill beth save deoning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be

easily grasped and remain cool

_ Always use the LITE position (on electric

ignition models) or the HI position (on standing pilot models)when igniting the top burners

and make sure the burners have ignited.

i_ Never leave the surface burners unattended at

high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking

and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

_ Adjust the top burner flame size so it

does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous.

_, Use only dry pot holders-moist or damp pot

holders on hot surfaces may result in burns

from steam. Do not let pot holders come near open flames when lifting cookware. Do not use

a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a pot

holder.

_ When using glass cookware, make sure it

isdesigned for top-of-range cooking.

_ To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition

of flammable materials and spillage, turn cookware handles toward the side or back

of the range without extending over adjacent

burners.

_ Use the least possible amount of fat for

effective shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling the

pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when

food is added.

i!:_Do not flame foods on the cooktop. Ifyou do

flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

!:,_iDo not use a wok on the cooking surface

if the wok has a round metal ring that is placed over the burner grate to support

the wok. This ring acts as a heat trap, which

may damage the burner grate and burner head. Also, it may cause the burner to work

improperly. This may cause a carbon monoxide level above that allowed by current

standards, resulting in a health hazard.

_ 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.

¢_;4Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially

a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.

!_ Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop-

they may melt if left too close to the vent.

KsCarefully watch foods being fried at a high

flame setting.

_ Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats. _ Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The

hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items and will increase pressure inclosed

containers, which may cause them to burst.

_, If a combination of oils or fats will be used in

frying, stir together before heating or as fats

melt slowly.

_ Use a deep fat thermometer whenever

possible to prevent overheating fat beyond

the smoking point.

_ Keepall plasticsaway from the surface

burners.

_ To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be

certain that the controls for all burners are at the OFF position and all grates are cool before

attempting to remove them.

_ If range is located near a window, do not hang

long curtains that could blow over the surface burners and create a fire hazard.

i_}If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range

and call a qualified service technician. Never

use an open flame to locate a leak.

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. Federalstandards require products labeled "margarine" to contain at least 80% fat bg weight. Lowfat spreads,on the

Oven Bottom

Theoven bottom has a porcelainenamel finish.To make cleaning easier,protect the

oven bottom from excessive spilloversbg placing a cookie sheet on the shelf below the

pitting and damage to the porcelainenamel surface and should be wiped up immediatelg.

We don't recommend using aluminum foil on

the oven bottom. It can affect air flow if the holesare blocked and it can concentrate heat

at the bottom of the oven, resulting inpoor baking performance.

Installation Instructions

WARNING! ANTI-TIP DEVICE

@ ®

To reduce the risk of tipping the range, the range must be secured bg a properlg 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, carefullg tip the range forward.

The bracket should stop the range within 4 inches. If it does not, the bracket must be reinstalled, if the range is pulled from

the wallfor any reason, always repeat this

procedure to verify the range is properly

secured by the anti-tip bracket.

For free standing or slide in ranges, never completely remove the leveling legs or the range will not be secured to the anti-tip device properly.

• All ranges can tip.

• BURNS or other SERIOUS INJURIES con result.

• INSTALLand CHECKthe ANTI-TIP bracket following

the instructions supplied

with the bracket,

LOCATION

Do not locate the range where it meg be subject to strong drafts. Ang openings in the floor or

wall behind the range should be sealed. Make sure the openings around the base of the range

that supplg fresh air for combustion and ventilation are not obstructed bg 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 floon

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 Safetg 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 Safetg Instructions section.)

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)

MODEL AND SERIAL NUMBER LOCATION

Depending on your range, you'll find the model and serial numbers on a label on the front frame of

the range, behind the kick panel or broiler drawer.

IMPORTANT!

Remove all tape and packaging. Make sure the burners are properlg seated and level.

Lift up the cooktop (on models with standard twin burners) and remove ang packing material

under it. Take the accessorg pack out of the oven and/or

drawer. Check to be sure that no range parts have come

loose during shipping.

Installation Instructions

[] PROVIDE ADEQUATE GAS SUPPLY

Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of 4" of water column on natural gas or, if designed for LP gas (propane or butane),

10" of water column. Hake sure you are supplying your range with

the type of gas for which it is designed.

This range is convertible for use on natural or propane gas. If you decide to use this range on LPgas, conversion must be made by a qualified LPinstaller before attempting to operate the range on that gas.

For proper operation, the pressure of natural

gas supplied to the regulator must be between 8" 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.

Never use an old connector when installing a

new range. If the hard piping method is used, you must carefully align the pipe; the range

cannot be moved after the connection is made.

To prevent gas leaks, put pipe joint compound on, or wrap pipe thread tape with Teflon*

around, all male (external) pipe threads.

[] Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the

gas line in an easily accessed location outside of the range. Make sure everyone operating the range knows where and how to shut off the gas supply to the range.

[] Install male 1/2" flare union adapter to the

1/2" NPT internal thread at inlet of regulator. Use a backup wrench on the regulator fitting

to avoid damage.

[]

Install male 1/2" or 3/4" flare union adapter to

the NPT internal thread of the manual shut-off valve, taking care to back-up the shut-offvalve

to keep it from turning.

[]

Connect flexible metal appliance connector

to the adapter on the range. Position range to permit connection at the shut-off valve.

When all connections have been made,

[]

make sure all range controls are in the off position and turn on the main gas supply valve. Use a liquid leak detector at all joints

and connections to check for leaks in the system.

WARNING - Do NOT USE A FLAME TO

CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS,

[] CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS

Shut off the main gas supplg valve before disconnecting the old range and leave it off until the new hookup has been completed. Don't forget to relight the pilot on other gas appliances when gou turn the gas beck 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.

When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig to pressure test the gas supply system

of the residence, disconnect the range and individual shut-off valve from the gas supply

piping. When using test pressures of 1/2 psig or less to test the gas supply system, simply

isolate the range from the gas supply system by closing the individual shut-off valve.

[] ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Electrical Requirements

120-volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded branch circuit protected bg a 15-amp or 20-amp circuit breaker or time delag fuse.

Extension Cord Cautions

Because of potential safetg hazards associated with certain conditions, we strongl U recommend against the use of an extension cord. However, if gou still elect to use an extension cord, it is absolutelg necessarg that it be a UL-listed, 3-wire grounding-tgpe appliance extension cord and that the current carrging rating of the cord in amperes be equivalent to, or greater than, the branch circuit rating.

Grounding IMPORTANT--(Please read carefully)

FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE

MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.

Preferred Method

Ensure proper ground exists before use

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates

with a standard 3-prong grounding wall receptacle to minimize the possibilitg of

electric shock hazard from this appliance. The customer should have the wall receptacle

and circuit checked bg a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properlg

grounded.

A word about GFCI's--GFCI's are not required or recommended for gas range receptacles.

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCrs) are devices that sense leakage of current in a

circuit and automaticallg switch off power when a threshold leakage level is detected. These devices must be manuallg reset bg the consumer. The National Electrical Code requires the use of GFCrs in kitchen receptacles installed to serve countertop surfaces. Performance of the range will not be affected if operated on a GFCI-protected circuit but occasional nuisance tripping of the GFCI breaker is possible.

[] Usage Situations where Appliance Power

Cord will be Disconnected Infrequentlg. An adapter mag be used onlg on a

15-amp circuit. Do not use an adapter on a 20-amp circuit. Where local codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION mag be made to a properlg grounded two-prong wall receptacle bg the use of a UL-listed adapter, available at most hardware stores. The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in the wall receptacle to provide proper polaritg in the connection of the power cord.

Temporarg Method

(Adapter plugs not _ 1

permitted inCanada) JJ-'_l

I /),J lJ}wr Ensure proper

i 111 . ground and firm

I_ //'_' Align large connection

prongs/slots before use

Where a standard 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is the personal responsibilitg

and obligation of the customer to have it replaced with a properlg grounded 3-prong

wall receptacle. DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT

OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD.

CAUTION - Attaching the adapter

ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the

cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded through the house

wiring. The customer should have the circuit checked bg a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properlg grounded.

Installation Instructions

[] ELECTRICALCONNECTIONS(cont.)

When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, alwags hold the adapter with one hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground terminal is very likely to break with repeated use. Should this happen, DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper ground has again

been established.

[] Usage Situations where Appliance Power

Cord will be Disconnected Frequently.

Do not use an adapter plug in these situations because disconnecting of the power cord places undue strain on the adapter and leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground

terminal. The customer should have the 2-prong wall receptacle replaced with a

three-prong (grounding) receptacle bg a qualified electrician before using the appliance.

The installation of appliances designed for mobile home installation must conform with

the Manufactured Home Construction and Safetu Standard, Title 28 CFR, Part 3280

{formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile

Home Construction and Safetu, Title 24, HUD,

Part 280) or, when such standard is not applicable, the Standard for Manufactured

Home Installations, latest edition {Manufactured Home Sites, Communities and

Set-Ups), ANSI A225.1, latest edition, or with local codes. In Canada, mobile home

installation must be in accordance with the current CAN/CSA Z240/MH Mobile Home

Installation Code.

[] SEAL THE OPENINGS

Seal any openings in the wall behind the range and in the floor under the range when hookups are completed.

[] LIGHT THE PILOTS

{For models equipped with standing pilots.

If the range is an electric ignition model, the burners are ignited bg electric ignition which eliminates the need for standing pilot lights.)

The range should be installed in its permanent position before any pilots are lit or adjusted.

CAUTION - Make sure the surface burner

control knobs are in the OFF position before attempting to light the pilots.

[] Light the Surface Burner Pilots

1. Raise the cooktop.

2. Light both pilots with a match.

3. To avoid pilot outage, use caution when

closing cooktop after lighting pilots.

Electric Disconnect

• Locate disconnect plug on the range back.

• Pinch sides of connector and pull out of range back.

NOTE: Do not leave standing pilot lit in a newly constructed or remodeled home or apartment that will be unoccupied for more

than a month.

Each pilot flame was adjusted at the factory to be approximately 5/16" tall. A tinge of yellow appearing at the upper tip is normal. If you find pilot adjustment is necessary, follow instructions in Step B.

[] Check Ignition of Oven Burner

The oven is designed to operate quietlu and automatically. To operate the oven, turn the OVEN CONTROL knob to a setting above 260°F. After 30-90 seconds, the oven burner will ignite and burn until the set temperature is reached. The oven burner will continue to cucle on and off as necessaru to maintain the oven at the temperature indicated bu the OVEN CONTROL

knob. Electric ignition models require electrical power

to operate. In case of a power outage, the oven burners on these models cannot be lit manually with a match. Gas will not flow unless the glow

bar is hot. If the oven is in use when a power outage occurs,

the burner will shut off and cannot be re-lit until power is restored.
