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-TIPDEVICE
Toreduce 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.
Tocheck if the bracket is installed and engaged properly,
• All ranges can tip.
• BURNS or other SERIOUS
INJURIES can result.
• INSTALL and CHECK the
ANTI-TIP bracket following
the instructions supplied
with the bracket.
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 1.800.696.8774 to receive one at no
cost (in Canada, call 1.800.561.3344). For installation
instructions of the bracket, \,isit GEAppliances.com
(in Canada, GEAppliances.ca).
IMPORTANTSAFETYNOtiCE
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.

READALLINSTRUCTIONSBEFOREUSING.
RADIANTSURFACEUNITS
Use proper pan size--select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface un#
heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface un# 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 _easy spillovers that may
catch on fire.
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers are
suitable fk)r cooktop serx,ice; 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
_dthout extending over nearby surface
units.
Always turn the surface units off befk_re
remox,ing cookware.
When preparing flaming foods under the
hood, turn the fan on.
Use care when touching the cooktop. The
glass surface of the cooktop xdll retain heat
•after the controls have been turned off{.
Keep an eye on foods being flied at high
or medium high heat settings.
Foods for flTing should be as dU as
possible. Frost on flozen foods or moisture
on flesh fk)ods can cause hot tat to bubble
up and over the sides of the pan.
Use little fat fk)r effective shallow or deep
fat flying. Filling the pan too full of fat can
cause spillovers when fk)od is added.
If a combination of oils or fats xdll 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 xdth items such
as shm]o instruments, rings or other,jeweh T,
4
and rivets on clothing.
i,arge scratches or impacts m glass
doors or cookmps can lead m broken
or shatmred 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 cookmp 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 umnsils on glass cookmp surface
when it is in use. They may become hot
and could cause burns.
Clean the cooktop xdth caution, ff a wet
sponge or cloth is used to xdpe 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
xdping any surface unit areas until they
have cooled and the indicator light has
gone ore Sugar ,spills are the exception to
this. Please see the Cleaning the glass
cooktop section.
When the cooktop is cool, use only the
CEI_dVtA 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.

Make sure the canner is fiat on the
bottom.
Use recipes and procedures flom
reputable sources. These are available
fiom manufacturers such as Ball`®and
Kerr®and the Deparmlent of Agriculture

To prevent burns flom 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 CoveredCastIron:
recommended
As long as file cookware is covered

Wrong!
Note: Flat-bottomed canners are
required for glass cooktops.
Observe the Following Points in Canning
Pots that extend beyond I" of the [_]
surface unit's circle are not
recommended for most surface
cooking. HoweveI; when canning
with water-bath or pressure cannel;
larger-diameter pots may be used.
This is because boiling water
temperatures (even under pressure)
are not harmflfl to the cooktop
surfaces surrounding the surface units.
HOWEVER, DO NOT USE I.ARGE-
DIAMETER (SkNNERS OR OTHER
LARGE-DIAMETER POTS FOR
FRYING OR BOILING FOODS
OTHER THAN _kTER. Most syrup or
sauce mixtures--aiM all types of
flTing--cook at temperatures much
higher than boiling WamL Such
temperatures could eventually harm
the glass cookmp surfaces.
Be sure the canner fits over the
%
center of the surface unit. If your
cooktop or its locadon does not
allow the canner to be centered
on tim surface unit, use smallei:
diameter pots for good canning
results.
NOTE:If your househas low voltage,
canning may take longer than expected,
even though directions have been
carefufly fofiowed. Theprocesstime will
be shortened by:
(1) using apressure canner and
(2) starting with HOT tap water for fastest
CAUTION:
Flat-bottomed canners must be
used. Do not use cammrs with
flanged or rippled bottoms (often
found in enamelware) because
they don't make enough contact
with the surface units and rake a
long time to boil wateL
When canning, use recipes and
%
procedures flom reputable
sources. Reliable recipes and
procedures are available flom the
manufacturer of your canner;
manufacturers of glass jars for
canning, such as Ball': and Kerr _':

heating of large quantities of water.
Safe canning requires that harmful
microorganisms are destroyed and that
thejars 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 bemaintained for the
required time.
After you have adjustedthe controls,
it is very important to make sure the
prescribed boil or pressure levels are
maintained for the required time.
Since youmust make sure to process
the canningjars for theprescribed
time, with no interruption inprocessing
time, do not can on anycooktop
