WARNING!

IMPORTANTSAFETYNOTICE

The California Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement Act requires the Governor of California to

publish alist of substances known to the state to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

Gasappliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon

monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize

incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open

window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

Have the installer show you the location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off if necessary.

Have your range installed and properly Plug your range into a 120=voh grounded _ounded by a qualified installe_, in

accordance with the Installation Instructions.

Any ad,justment and serx,ice should be

perfk)rmed only by qualified gas range installers or service mchnicians.

Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your range unless it is specifically

recommended in this manual. All other ser\,ice should be referred to a qualified

mchnician.

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

iiiiiiiiiiiii!

i,ocate the range out of kitchen trat_ic path and out of dr_ty locations to prevent pilot

outage (on standing pilot models) and poor air circulation.

Be sure all packa_ng mamfials are removed from the range belt)re operating

it to prevent fire or smoke damage should the packa_ng material i_dte.

Be sure your range is correctly adjusted by a qualified ser\dce technician or installer fk)r

the type of gas (natural or LP) that is to be used. Your range can be converted for use

xdth either type of gas. See the Installation

oftherange section.

A WARNING:These adjustments

must be made by a qualified serxdce mchnician in accordance with the

manufacturer's instructions and all codes and requirements of the authority ha\dng

,jurisdiction. Failure to f_)llow these

instructions could result in serious in,ju U or property damage. The qualified agency

perf_)rming this work assumes responsibility

f_r the conversion.

Be careful when you clean the cooktop because the area over the pilot (on standing

pilot models) xdll be hot.

After prolonged use of a range, high foot

mmperatures may result and many floor coverings will not withstand this kind of use.

Never install the range over xdnyl file or linoleum that cannot withstand such type

of use. Never install it directly over interior kitchen cmpefing.

Do not leave children alone or unattended

where a range is hot or in operation. They

could be seriously burned. Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang

on the oven door, broiler drawer or cooktop. They could damage the range and even tip it

over, causing severe personal in,ju U.

CAUTION:,ternsofinterestto

children should not be stored in cabinets above a range or on the backsplash of a

range---children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously in,jured.

Clean only parts listed in this Owner's Manual.

Never wear loose fitting or han_ng garments

while using the appliance. Be careful when

reaching ft_r items stored in cabinets over the range. Flammable material could be ignited

if brought in contact with flame or hot oven surfhces and may cause severe burns.

Do not store flammable materials in an oven, a range broiler or near a cooktop.

Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and

liquids in the xdcinity of this or any other appliance.

iiiiiiiiiiiii!

Do not let cooking _ease or other

flammable materials accumulate in or

near the range.

Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls ore

Smother a flaming pan on a surface burner by covering the pan completely with a

well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.

Use a multi-purpose dU chemical or

ftmm-type fire extinguisher.

Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by coveting it with baking soda or,

if available, by using a multi-purpose d U chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

Flame in the oven can be smothered completely by closing the oven door and

turning the control to off or by using a muhi-purpose d U chemical or ftmm-type

fire extinguisher.

Let the burner _ates and other surfhces cool before touching them or lemdng them

where children can reach them.

Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. They provide the air inlet and

outlet that are necessary for the range to operate properly with correct combustion.

Air openings are located at the rear of

the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the oven door; and at the bottom of the range

under the broiler drawer

Large scratches or impacts to glass doors can lead to broken or shattered glass.

For your s_ety, never use your appliance

ft)r warming or heating the room.

COOKMEATANDPOULTRYTHOROUGHLY...

Cook meat and poultry thoroughly--meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°Fand poultry to

at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°ECooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodbome illness.

OVEN

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

can cause bums to hands, face and eyes.

Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items stored in the oven can ignim.

Keep the oven free from #ease buildup. Place the oven racks in the desired position

while the oven is cool.

Pulling out the rack to the stop-lock is a convenience in lifting hem T foods. It is also

a precaution against bums fiom 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 in,ju U.

Never use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. Improper use of foil could start

a fire and result in high carbon monoxide. Do not use aluminum foil anywhere in the

oven except as described in this manual. Misuse could result in a fire hazard or

damage to the range.

When using cooking or roasting bags in the

oven, follow the manufacturer's directions.

Do not use your oven m dU newspapers. If overheated, they can catch fire.

Use only glass cookware that is recommended for use in gas ovens.

Always remove the broiler pan flom range

as soon as you finish broiling. Grease left in the pan can catch fire if oven is used without

remox,ing the grease flom the broiler pan.

When broiling, if meat is mo close to the flame, the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to

prevent excessive flare-ups.

Make sure the broiler pan is in place correctly to reduce the possibility of

_ease fires.

Ifyou should have a grease fire in the broiler pan, turn off the oven control, and

keep the broiler drawer and oven door closed to contain fire until it burns out.

For s'_ety and proper cooking performance, always bake and broil xdth the oven door

closed.

WARNING!

SURFACEBURNERS

Use proper pan size--avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat bottoms

large enough to cover burner grates. Toavoid spillovers, make sure cookware is large enough to contain

the food properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since

heavy spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Usepans with handles that can be easily grasped and remain cooL

Always use the LITEposition (on electric

ignition models) or the H/position (on stmlding pilot models) when i_lifing the

top burners and make sure the burners have ignited.

Never leave the surf`ace 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 d U pot holders--moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in

burns from smam. 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

is desi_md 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 xdthout extending over

adjacent burners. Carefully watch foods being flied at a high

flame setting.

Use the least possible amount of f`atfor efl{ective shallow or deep4`at flying. Filling

the pan too full of f`at can cause spillovers

when food is added.

Do not flame fi)ods on the cooktop. If you do flame fi)ods under the hood,

turn the fan on.

Do not use a wok on the cooking surf`ace if the wok has a round metal ring that is

placed over the burner gram 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 m work improperly. This may cause a

carbon monoxide level above that allowed by current standards, resulting

in a health hazard.

Foods fi)r flTing should be as dU as possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture on flesh

foods can cause hot f`at to bubble up and

over the sides of the pan.

Never t_T to move a pan of hot f`at,especially a deep f`atflTer. Wait until the fat is cool.

Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop--- they may meh if left too close to the vent.

iiiiiiiiiiiii!

Keep 'allplastics m_,ayfrom the surf`ace burners.

Always heatf`at sloxdy, and watch as it heats, iiiiiiiii

Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air from the vent may ignim flammable

items and will increase pressure in closed containers, which may cause them to burst.

If a combination of oils or fats xdll be used in

flTing, stir together before heating or as fats

melt sloxdy.

Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent overheating fat beyond

To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be certain that the controls fi)r 'all burners are

at the OFF position and all grates are cool befi)re attempting to remove them.

iiiiiiiiiiiii!

If range is located near a xdndow, do not hang long curtains that could blow over the

surf`ace burners and create a fire hazard.

If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range and call a qualified ser\,ice technician. Never

use an open flame to locate a leak.

SURFACEBURNERS(cont.)

GEAppliances.com

Always turn the surface burner controls off

before remox,ing cookware.

Do not lift the cooktop on sealed burner models, i,ifiing the cooktop can lead m

damage and improper operation of the range.

When a pilot goes out (on standing pilot

models), you will detect a faint odor of gas as your si_ral to relight the pilot. When relighdng the pilot, make sure burner

controls are in the off position, and follow instructions in this book to relight.

Ifyou smell gas, and you have already made sure pilots are lit (on standing pilot models),

turn off the gas to the range and call a qualified ser\,ice technician. Never use an

the instructions supplied with the bracket.

Toreduce therisk of tipping the range, the range mustbe secured by a properly installed anti-tip bracket. See installation instructionsshipped

with the bracket for complete details before attempting to install.

Tocheck if the bracket is installed and engaged properly,carefully tip the range forward. Thebracket shouldstop therange within 4 inches. If it doesnot,

thebracket mustbe reinstalled. If the range ispulled from the wall forany reason,always repeat this procedure toverify therange is properly secured by theanti-tip bracket.

Forfree-standing or slide-in ranges, never completely remove the leveling legs orthe range will notbe secured to theanti-tip device properly.

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 withstand the heat generated (up

to 200°F) by the range. (See the Installation

Safety Instructions section.)

ff you did notreceive an anti-tip bracket with your purchase, call 1.800.626.8774to receive one at no

cost(in Canada, call 1.800.561.3344).For installation

instructionsof 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 broiler

drawer.

IMPORTANT!

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

Lift up the cooktop (on models with

standard twin burners) and remove any

packing material under it.

Take the accessory pack out of the oven

and/or drawer.

Check to be sure that no range parts have

come loose during shipping.

Installation Instructions

IT] PROVIDE ADEQUATE

GAS SUPPLY

Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of 10" of water column on LP gas (propane or butane) or, if designed

for natural gas, 4" of water column.

Make 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 natural gas, conversion must be made by a qualified

installer before attempting to operate the range on that gas.

For proper operation, the pressure of LP gas supplied to the regulator must be

between 10" and 13" of water column. For natural gas, the pressure supplied

must be between 4" 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 LP or natural 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.

[] CONNECTTHE RANGETO GAS

Shut off the main gas supply 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

you turn the gas back 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.

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-off valve 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.

_4,WARNING - DoNOTUSE

A FLAMETO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.

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 by a 15-amp or 20-amp circuit breaker or time delay fuse.

Extension Cord Cautions Because of potential safety hazards

associated with certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord. However, if you still elect to use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed, 3-wire grounding-type appliance extension cord and that the current carrying 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

nsure proper ground

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

receptacles.

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI's) are devices that sense leakage of current

in a circuit and automatically switch off power when a threshold leakage level is

detected.These devices must be manually

reset by the consumer.The National Electrical Code requires the use of GFCI's 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 Infrequently. An adapter may be used only on a

15-amp circuit. Do not use an adapter

on a 20-amp circuit. Where local codes

permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION

may be made to a properly grounded two-prong wall receptacle by 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 polarity in the connection of the power cord.

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 possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.

The customer should have the wall receptacle and circuit checked by

a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.

Where a standard 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall receptacle.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND)

PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD.

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 by a qualified electrician

to make sure the receptacle is properly

grounded.

Installation Instructions

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (cont.)

When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always 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 by a qualified electrician before using the appliance.

The installation of appliances designed for mobile home installation must

conform with the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard,Title

24 CFR, Part 3280 (formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction

and Safety, 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.

[] SEALTHE OPENINGS

Seal any openings in the wall behind the

range and in the floor under the range when hookups are completed.

151LIGHTTHE PILOTS

(For models equipped with standing

pilots. If the range is an electric ignition

model, the burners are ignited by 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.

_4,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 quietly 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 cycle on and off as necessary to maintain

the oven at the temperature indicated by 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.

On some models, remove the metal shield at the rear of the cavity.

To adjust the flow of air to the burner,

loosen the Phillips-head screw and rotate

the shutter to allow more or less air into the burner tube.

With the oven bottom removed, properly adjusted flames should have

approximately 1" blue cones and, if range is supplied with natural gas, should burn with no yellow tipping. (With most LP gas, small yellow tips at the end of outer

cones are normal.) Flames should not lift off burner ports. If lifting is observed,

gradually reduce air shutter opening until flames are stabilized.

The shutter for the oven burner is near the back wall of the oven and behind the broiler drawer.

Installation Instructions
