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.

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,

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.

After cleaning, use a dU cloth or paper

towel m remove all cleaning cream residue.

Read and fk_llowall instructions and warnings on the cleaning cream labels.

Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up and the container

could burst, causing an in,ju_T. Keep the oven vent unobstructed.

Keep the oven flee from #ease buildup. Place the oven rack in the desired position

while the oven is cool. If racks 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 rack to the stop-lock is a

convenience in lifting heax y foods. It is also

a precaution against burns flom touching

hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.

Do not use the oven to d_T 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, except as suggested in this

manual. Improper installation of aluminum foil may result in a risk of

electric shock or fire.

SELF-CLEANINGOVEN

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 rob, damage or move the gasket.

Before self cleaning the oven, remove

the racks, broiler pan, _-id and other cookware.

Home Canning Tips:

Be sure the canner is centered over the surface unit.

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

Extension SeiMce. 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

complemly Mill porcelain enamel, tiffs cookware is recommended. Caution is

recommended for cast iron cookware that is not completely covered with

smooth porcelain enamel, since it m W scratch the glass ceramic cookmp.

Wok Cooking

Werecommendthat you useonlya flat-bottomed

wok. Theyareavailableat yourlocalretail store.

Do not use round-bottom woks. You

could be seriously burned if the wok tipped oveL

Righd

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 _':

brand; and tim United States Depamnent of Agriculture

Extension Service.

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.
