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.

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

■ Use this appliance only for its intended

purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.

■ Be sure your appliance is properly

installed and grounded by a qualified installer in accordance with the provided installation instructions.

■ Have the installer show you the location of

the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.

■ Do not attempt to repair or replace any

part of your range unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

■ Do not cover or block any openings

on the appliance.

■ Before performing any service, disconnect

the range power supply at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker.

■ Do not leave children alone—children

should not be left alone or unattended in an area where an appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

■ Do not allow anyone to climb, stand

or hang on the door, storage drawer or cooktop. They could damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe personal injury.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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).

■ Do not store flammable materials in an

oven or near the cooktop.

■

CAUTION:

Items of interest to children should not be stored in cabinets above a range or on the back of a range— children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.

■ Never wear loose-fitting or hanging

garments while using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items stored over the range. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with hot surface units or heating elements and may cause severe burns.

■ Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp

pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot surface units or heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of pot holders.

■ Do not use water on grease fires. Never

pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

■ Flaming grease outside a pan can be put

out by covering it with baking soda or, if available, by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

■ Flame in the oven can be smothered

completely by closing the oven door and turning the oven off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

■ For your safety, never use your appliance

for warming or heating the room.

■ Do not let cooking grease or other

flammable materials accumulate in or near the range.

■ Do not touch the surface units, the

heating elements or the interior surface of the oven. These surfaces may be hot enough to burn even though they are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact the surface units, areas nearby the surface units or any interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time for cooling first.

■ Potentially hot surfaces include the

cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening, surfaces near the opening, crevices around the oven door.

■

REMEMBER:

The inside surface of the oven

may be hot when the door is opened.

■ Do not store or use combustible materials,

gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

■ Keep the hood and grease filters clean

to maintain good venting and to avoid grease fires.

■ Teach children not to play with the

controls or any other part of the range.

■ Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot

holders and other linens a safe distance from your range.

■ Always keep wooden and plastic utensils

and canned food a safe distance from your range.

■ Always keep combustible wall coverings,

curtains or drapes a safe distance from your range.

WARNING!

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.

COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…

Do not operate the oven or cooktop controls if the glass is broken. Food splatter or cleaning solution may penetrate a broken control panel or cooktop and create a risk of electrical shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately should your glass control panel or cooktop become broken.

Safety Instructions Operating InstructionsSafety Instructions Operating Instructions Care and Cleaning

Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support

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.

■ Use a deep fat thermometer whenever

possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.

■ Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The

cooktop can be scratched with items such as sharp instruments, rings or other jewelry, and rivets on clothing.

■ 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

CERAMA BRYTE

Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner and the CERAMA BRYTE 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.

■ After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper

towel to remove all cleaning cream residue.

■ Read and follow all instructions and

warnings on the cleaning cream labels.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

Read and follow the specific “Precautions to Avoid Possible Exposure to Excessive Microwave Energy” section in this manual.

To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

■ Do not overcook food. Carefully attend

appliance if paper, plastic or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.

■ In defrost mode, remove wire twist-ties

from paper or plastic containers before placing bags in the oven.

■ Oven Cooking Bags—Do not use the wire

twist-tie to close the bag.

■ Do not use paper towels.

■ Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.

■ Do not overcook potatoes. They could

dehydrate and catch fire, causing damage to your oven.

■ Do not operate the oven while empty to

avoid damage to the oven and the danger of fire.

■ Do not use the oven for storage purposes.

Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the oven when not in use.

■ If materials inside the oven should ignite,

keep the oven door closed, turn the oven off and shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel. If the door is opened, the fire may spread.

■ This oven is not approved or tested for

marine use.

■ Some products such as whole eggs and

sealed containers—for example, closed jars—will explode and should not be heated in this oven. Such use of the oven could result in injury.

■ Do not boil eggs in this oven. Pressure will

build up inside the egg yolk and will cause it to burst, possibly resulting in injury.

■ Do not pop popcorn in your oven.

■ Foods with unbroken outer “skin” such as

potatoes, sausages, tomatoes, apples, egg yolks, chicken livers and other giblets should be pierced to allow steam to escape during cooking.

■ Don’t defrost frozen beverages in narrow-

necked bottles (especially carbonated beverages). Even if the container is opened, pressure can build up. This can cause the container to burst, possibly resulting in injury.

■ Hot foods and steam can cause burns.

Be careful when opening any containers of hot food, cooking pouches and boxes. To prevent possible injury, direct steam away from hands and face.

■ As with any appliance, close supervision is

necessary when used by children.

■ Steam or vapor escaping from around

the door.

■ Dimming of the oven light and change

in the blower sound may occur.

■ The microwave fan may operate with both

ovens off. It is cooling the control and will turn itself off.

■ Some TV-radio interference might be

noticed while using your oven. It is similar to the interference caused by other small appliances and does not indicate a problem with your oven.

ALL THESE THINGS ARE NORMAL WITH YOUR TRIVECTION™OVEN

If you see arcing, open the door and correct the problem.

ARCING

Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by:

■ Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.

■ Foil not molded to food (upturned edges

act like antennas).

■ Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins or

gold-rimmed dishes in the oven.

■ Recycled paper towels containing small

metal pieces being used in the oven.

Liquids such as water, coffee or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always present.

THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

■ 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 shelf in the desired position

while the oven is cool. If shelves 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 shelf 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.

■ 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.

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.

WARNING!

OVEN

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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.

■ Listen for fan—A fan noise should be

heard sometime during the cleaning cycle. If not, call a serviceman before selfcleaning again.

HOT SURFACE

indicator light, on the cooktop, will glow when any radiant element is turned on. It will remain on until the surface is cooled to approximately 150°F.

Hot surface indicator light will:

■

come on when the unit is hot to the touch.

■

stay on even after the unit is turned off.

■

glow until the unit is cooled to approximately 150°F.

Be sure you turn the control knob to OFF when you finish cooking.

Page 10

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.

Dual Surface Unit Control Knob

The right front surface unit has 2 cooking sizes to select from so you can match the size of the unit to the size of the cookware you are using.

To use the small (6 inch) surface unit, turn the control knob to the

SMALL

settings.

To use the large (9 inch) surface unit, turn the control knob to the

LARGE

settings.

About the radiant surface units…

The radiant cooktop features heating units beneath a smooth glass surface.

NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new cooktop is used for the first time. It is caused by the heating of new parts and insulating materials and will disappear in a short time.

NOTE: On models with light colored glass cooktops, it is normal for the cooking zones to change color when hot or cooling down. This is temporary and will disappear as the glass cools to room temperature.

The surface unit will cycle on and off to maintain your selected control setting.

It is safe to place hot cookware on the glass surface even when the cooktop is cool.

Even after the surface units are turned off, the glass cooktop retains enough heat to continue cooking. To avoid over-cooking, remove pans from the surface units when the food is cooked. Avoid placing anything on the surface unit until it has cooled completely.

■

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.

Selecting types of cookware.

ge.com

The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.

Stainless Steel:

recommended

Aluminum:

heavy weight 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, thin weight 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.

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, as it may scratch the glass ceramic cooktop.

Glass-ceramic:

usable, but not recommended

Poor performance. May scratch the surface.

Stoneware:

usable, but not recommended

Poor performance. May scratch the surface.

Check pans for flat bottoms by using a straight edge.

Pans with rounded, curved, ridged or warped bottoms are not recommended.

Use only flat-bottomed woks.

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.

Page 12

Note: Flat-bottomed canners are required for glass cooktops.

Pots that extend beyond 1″ of the surface unit’s circle are not recommended for most surface 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 LARGE DIAMETER 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 smaller diameter 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.

When canning, use recipes and procedures from reputable sources. Reliable recipes and procedures are available from the manufacturer of your canner; manufacturers of glass jars for canning, such as Ball and Kerr brand; and the United States Department of Agriculture Extension Service.

Remember that canning is a process that generates large amounts of steam. To avoid burns from steam or heat, be careful when canning.

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

heating of large quantities of water.

CAUTION:

■

Safe canning requires that harmful microorganisms are destroyed and that the jars are sealed completely. When canning foods in a water-bath canner, a gentle but steady boil must be maintained for the required time. When canning foods in a pressure canner, the pressure must be maintained for the required time.

■

After you have adjusted the controls, it is very important to make sure the prescribed boil or pressure levels are maintained for the required time.

■

Since you must make sure to process the canning jars for the prescribed time, with no interruption in processing time, do not can on any cooktop surface unit if your canner is not flat.

Using the oven.

To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on.

Before you begin…

The racks have stop-locks, 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 to the bump on the rack support.

To remove a rack,

pull it toward you,

tilt the front end up and pull it out.

To replace,

place the end of the rack (stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the front and push the rack in.

NOTE: A cooling fan will automatically turn on during all cooking modes. This fan turns on to cool internal parts. It may run for up to 1 1/2 hours after the oven is turned off.

Using the Trivection™oven.

ge.com

Microwave Assisted

In the Trivection oven, a microwave is used to assist cooking.

The combination of microwave, convection fan and heating elements is unique for each food category.

NOTE The microwave will cycle on and off while cooking to best distribute energy to the food.

The microwave turns off and the cook time stops counting down when the oven door is opened.

NOTE: The convection fan may cycle on and

off and change direction while cooking to best distribute hot air in the oven. The convection fan shuts off when the oven door is opened.

Auto Recipe™Conversion

You can use your favorite recipes in the Trivection oven.

When speedcooking, enter the traditional cooking temperature and the maximum recipe/package cook time. When speedcooking, the Auto Recipe

™

conversion feature automatically converts traditional cook time into the appropriate

speedcooking time. The converted time will display after you start the oven. This time will be up to 5 times faster than traditional baking based on food type.

Cookware for Speedcooking. . .

You can use cookware that is oven-safe. Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers and bakeware that are recommended for use in traditional baking can also be used for speed baking. However, they should not be used at temperatures higher than the temperature recommended by the bakeware manufacturer.

If you are cooking with several pans, leave space between them. Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. To avoid arcing, be sure there is at least 1 inch of space between metal surfaces— pans, wall of cavity, aluminum foil.

Do not completely surround food with metal and/or foil while speedcooking— you will not have a time savings (for example, wrapping potato with foil, using metal roasting pan with lid).

When using a metal pan, do not cover it with a metal lid or foil.

DO NOT USE FOOD WRAPPERS MADE FROM A COMBINATION OF METAL FOIL AND PAPER IN THE OVEN

in speedcook modes. For example, some frozen or deli breads are baked and sold in these wrappers. Remove the food from the wrapper and speed bake on a flat metal pan.

When speedcooking with metal pans, heavy aluminum pans are recommended for best results.

When speed baking with stoneware or cooking stones, refer to the manufacturer’s owner’s manual for proper use and maintenance. For best results, preheat your flat cooking stones. If manufacturer does not recommend preheating cooking stones, don’t use them in the Speedcooking mode.

Do not use hearth

inserts while speedcooking.

Use pans with low sides whenever possible. A shallow pan allows air to circulate around the food more efficiently.

Dark or matte finish bakeware will produce darker browning on food. When you are speed broiling, it is important that you use the broiler pan with grid for best results. The pan is used to catch grease spills and the grid is used to prevent grease spatters.

Page 20

Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips Care and Cleaning Operating Instructions Safety Instructions

Using the Trivection™oven.

Other Speedcooking Tips. . .

You must preheat your oven.

Put the food in the oven after the preheat beep when the oven control displays “Put Food In Oven” and then press

START. You must press the START key after placing the food in the oven to start the speedcook mode.

When choosing a speedcook food category, refer to the chart on page 21.

In general, when cooking meats wrapped in dough or refrigerated dough product, use the Biscuit/Roll or BakedGoods category.

For recipes using a large quantity of cheese, milk and/or eggs, use the BakedGoods category.

Larger amounts of food or multiple racks of food may require additional time. Check food doneness as prompted and continue cooking as needed.

Items such as appetizers, cookies, biscuits and rolls can be speed baked on multiple racks. Cooking time may increase slightly for some foods, but since two or three racks of food are being cooked at the same time, the overall result is substantial time saved.

When cooking multiple items or pans, leave space between them for maximum air circulation.

Cakes and quick breads (banana, zucchini or pumpkin bread) are not recommended for multiple rack speed baking. Place cakes side-by-side on one rack if speed baking. When using more than one rack to cook these foods, use

CONV MULTI

mode. See

Using the

convection modes

section.

Meats/Poultry

Cooking times will vary depending on the cut of meat. Check for doneness at minimum time.

Note:

Meats will continue to cook and internal temperatures will rise after they are removed from the oven (standing time).

Use the broiler pan and grid provided with your oven for best results.

As in a conventional oven, aluminum foil may be used to shield food—to prevent overbrowning or overcooking (i.e., placing small strips of foil on tips of wings and legs of poultry). Make sure that the foil is securely attached to the food. However, large amounts of foil or fully enclosing food in foil blocks the microwave energy, which eliminates time savings.

Do not use oven thermometers, meat thermometers or wire twist-ties in the oven while speedcooking.

Pop-up thermometers in your meat may be inaccurate. Check the temperature of the meat with a thermometer after removing the meat from the oven.

For best results, speed bake turkeys unstuffed.

Rack Positions for Speed Baking. . .

If cooking on one rack, place food so that it is approximately centered in the oven.

Rack Positions and Examples C Cookies, pizza, pie, muffins, cakes, biscuits, casseroles B Loaves of bread, bundt cakes, meat loaf, small and medium roasts, whole chicken A Very tall items: turkey, large roasts, angel food cakes

If cooking on two racks, use rack positions A and D to provide lots of space between items for optimal results.

If cooking on three racks, use rack positions A, C and E.

Tips for Speed Broiling

Your oven with Trivection™technology has the flexibility to broil like a traditional oven or speed broil. Speed broiling of meats is approximately twice as fast as traditional broiling.

Speed broiling must be done with the door closed.

The oven must be preheated when speed broiling.

Turning meat and poultry is optional in speed broil. However, use tongs if turning meat to prevent piercing the meat and losing juices.

Speed broil will generally produce good results for medium to well done meats. If rare meat is desired, use traditional broil.

Cooking times will vary depending on the cut of meat. Check for doneness at minimum time using a meat thermometer.

DO NOT leave a meat thermometer in the meat or poultry while cooking with Trivection technology since this may damage the thermometer.

For best results, use a pan designed for broiling.

Evenly slit fat around the outside edges of steaks and chops to prevent curling during broiling.

If desired, marinate meats before broiling. Brush with sauces during the last five minutes only.

Cookware/Tips for Defrosting

For best results, remove food from packaging and

place on broil pan and grid

. If food is left in packaging, slit, pierce or vent to prevent heat buildup.

Place food in the oven according to

Defrosting Guide

You can use all cookware/containers that are oven safe or microwave-safe. Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Be sure there is at least 1 inch of space between metal surfaces—pans, wall of cavity, aluminum foil—to prevent arcing.

Dishes with metallic trim should not be used as arcing may occur. Remove metal twist ties from paper or plastic bags before placing them in the oven.

Do not completely surround food with metal and/or foil.

Plastic storage containers should be uncovered before defrosting.

Foods that spoil easily should not be allowed to sit out for more than one hour after defrosting. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.

Use caution when removing metal pans and stoneware after defrosting. They may become very warm, and you may need to use a potholder.

For more even defrosting, turn food over, separate and rearrange when prompted. Be sure large meats are completely defrosted before cooking. See the

Defrosting Guide

for additional

comments.

When defrosted, food should be cool but softened in all areas. If still slightly icy, return to the oven very briefly, or let it stand a few minutes.

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.

To cook food on more than one rack in convection bake, use

CONV MULTI

When baking on 3 racks, place one rack in the first (A) position, one in the third (C) position and one in the 5th (E) position.

Using the convection modes.

ge.com

Convection Fan

In a convection oven, a fan circulates hot air over, under and around the food.

This circulating hot air is evenly distributed throughout the oven cavity. As a result, foods are evenly cooked and browned—often in less time with convection heat.

NOTE: The convection fan may cycle on and off and change direction while cooking to best distribute hot air in the oven. The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened.

DO NOT

leave the door open for long periods of time while using convection cooking or you may shorten the life of the convection heating element.

Multi-Rack Convection Baking

Multi-rack position.

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 CONV 1 RACK and for best results place the rack on shelf B or C 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.

Ideal for cooking large casseroles and lasagna with good results.

Using the convection modes.

Cookware for Convection Cooking

Before using your convection oven, check to see if your cookware leaves room for air circulation in the oven. 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 for convection baking, but shouldn’t be used at temperatures higher than the temperature recommendation of the cookware manufacturer.

Metal and Glass

Any type of cookware will work in your convection oven. However, metal pans heat the fastest and are recommended for convection baking.

■

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.

How to Set the Oven for Convection Baking or Roasting

Convection Roast

■

Good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.

The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food. Meat and poultry are browned on all sides as if they were cooked on a rotisserie. The heated air seals in juices quickly for a moist and tender product while, at the same time, creating a rich golden brown exterior.

When you are convection roasting, it is important that you use a broiler pan and grid designed for broiling for best convection roasting results. The pan is used to catch grease spills and the grid is used to prevent grease spatters.

When baking cookies, you will get the best results if you use a flat cookie sheet instead of a pan with low sides.

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.

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.

Federal 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 affect 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.

Control Knobs

The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning.

Before removing the knobs for cleaning, please note that the knobs are in the

knobs, check the

position to insure

proper placement.

Wash the knobs in soap and water or a vinegar and hot water solution but do not soak.

How to Remove Packaging Tape

To assure no damage is done to the finish of the product, the safest way to remove the adhesive left from packaging tape and cooktop labels on new appliances is an application of a household liquid dishwashing detergent, mineral oil or cooking oil.

Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak. Wipe dry and then apply an appliance polish to thoroughly clean and protect the surface.

NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all parts. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.

If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the anti-tip device is re-engaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to take this precaution could result in tipping of the range and cause injury.

Oven Vent

The oven vent is above the left side of the door.

This area could become hot during oven use.

It is normal for steam to come out of the vent.

The vent is important for proper air circulation. Never block this vent.

Do not rub or clean the door gasket— it has an extremely low resistance to abrasion.

If you notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or damaged in any way or if it has become displaced on the door, you should have it replaced.

To clean the inside of the door:

■ Because the area inside the gasket is

cleaned during the self-clean cycle, you do not need to clean this by hand.

■ The area outside the gasket and

the door liner can be cleaned with a soap-filled steel wool or plastic pad, hot water and detergent. Rinse well with a vinegar and water solution.

To clean the outside of the door:

■ Use soap and water to thoroughly

clean the top, sides and front of the oven door. Rinse well. You may also use a glass cleaner to clean the glass on the outside of the door. Do not let water drip into the vent openings.

■ If any stain on the door vent trim is

persistent, use a soft abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results.

■ Spillage of marinades, fruit juices,

tomato sauces and basting materials containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. When surface is cool, clean and rinse.

■ Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning

powders or harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.

■ When cleaning surfaces of door and

oven that come together on closing the door, use only mild, non-abrasive soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.

Care and cleaning of the range.

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.

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.

Painted Surfaces

Painted surfaces include the door, top of the control panel and the drawer front. Clean these with soap and water or a vinegar and water solution.

Do not use commercial oven cleaners, cleaning powders, steel wool or harsh abrasives on any painted surface.

Oven Light Bulbs

NOTE: The glass cover should be

removed only when cold. Wearing latex gloves may offer a better grip.

CAUTION

: Before replacing your

oven light bulb, disconnect the electrical power to the oven at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel.

Be sure to let the light cover and bulb cool completely.

For your safety, do not touch a bulb with bare hands or a damp cloth. It can also shorten the bulb life.

To remove:

Turn the glass cover counterclockwise 1/4 turn until the tabs of the glass cover clear the grooves of the socket.

Using gloves or a dry cloth, remove the bulb by pulling it straight out.

To replace:

Use a new 130-volt Halogen bulb, not to exceed 50 watts.

Using gloves or a dry cloth, remove the bulb from its packaging.

Do not

touch the bulb with bare fingers.

Push the bulb straight into the receptacle all the way. Then replace the screen.

NOTE: The screen must be replaced or the life of the bulb will be reduced.

Place the tabs of the glass cover into the grooves of the socket. Turn the glass cover clockwise 1/4 turn.

For improved lighting inside the oven, clean the glass cover frequently using a wet cloth. This should be done when the oven is completely cool.

Reconnect electrical power to the oven.

Burned-On Residue

WARNING: DAMAGE to your glass surface

may occur if you use scrub pads other than BLUE Scotch-Brite®Multi-Purpose No Scratch scrub pads by 3M.

Allow the cooktop to cool.

Spread a few drops of Cerama Bryte®to the entire burned residue area.

Using the Scotch-Brite®blue pad, rub the residue area, applying pressure as needed.

If any residue remains, repeat the steps listed above as needed.

For additional protection, after all residue has been removed, polish the entire surface with Cerama Bryte

and a paper towel.

The RAZOR SCRAPER is available through our Parts Center. See instructions under “To Order Parts” section on next page.

NOTE: Razor blade is packed inverted for safety reasons. Prior to use, the blade must be rotated and reinserted into slot. Do not use a dull or nicked blade.

Heavy, Burned-On Residue

Allow the cooktop to cool.

Spread a few drops of Cerama Bryte®to the entire burned residue area.

Hold the razor scraper at approximately a 45° angle against the glass surface and scrape the soil. It will be necessary to apply pressure to the razor scraper in order to remove the residue.

Keep a small amount of cream on the residue as you scrape.

After scraping with the razor scraper, use the scrub sponge to remove any remaining residue.

For additional protection, after all residue has been removed, polish the entire surface with Cerama Bryte®and a paper towel.

Scotch-Brite®Multi-Purpose No Scratch scrub pad

Cleaning the glass cooktop.

Normal Daily Use Cleaning

ONLY use the recommended cleaning cream, Cerama Bryte®, on the glass cooktop. Other creams may not be as effective.

To maintain and protect the surface of your glass cooktop, follow these steps:

Before using the cooktop for the first time, clean it with the cooktop cleaning cream. This helps protect the top and makes clean-up easier.

Daily use of the cooktop cleaning cream will help keep the cooktop looking new.

Shake the cleaning cream well. Apply a few drops of the cream directly to the cooktop.

Use a paper towel or sponge to clean the entire cooktop surface.

NOTE: It is very important that you DO NOT heat the cooktop until it has been cleaned thoroughly.

Clean your cooktop after each spill.

Turn off all surface units. Remove hot pans.

Wearing an oven mitt: a. Use the razor scraper to move

the spill to a cool area on the cooktop.

b. Remove the spill with

paper towels.

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.

Damage from Sugary Spills and Melted Plastic

Our testing shows that if you are cooking high sugar mixtures such as jelly or fudge and have a spillover, it can cause permanent damage to the glass surface unless the spillover is immediately removed.

Be careful not to slide pots and pans across your cooktop. It will leave metal markings on the cooktop surface.

These marks are removable using the cleaning cream with a Scotch-Brite®blue pad and/or razor scraper.

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.

WARNING: Carefully check the bottom of pans for roughness that would scratch the cooktop.
