IMPORTANT SAFETYNOTICE

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-dean ovens gives
afro 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.

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

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

Use this appliance only for its intended purpose

as described inthis Owner's Manual.

iii}iiiliiii!

Be sure your appliance is properly installed

and grounded by a qualified technician in
accordance with the provided installation

instructions.

iii}iiiliiii!

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.

iii}iiiliiii!

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 aloneichildren 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.

iii}iiiliiii!

Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang
on the door, storage drawer, warming drawer,

or cooktop. They could damage the range and
even tip it over, causing severe personal injury.

iii}iiiliiii!

Do not store flammable materials in an oven
or near the cooktop.

iii}iiiliiii!

CAUTION:Items of interest

to children should not be stored in cabinets

above a range or on the backsplash of
a rangeichildren climbing on the range

to reach items could be seriously injured.

GEAppliances.com

COOK MEATAND POULTRYTHOROUGHLY...

Cook meat and poultry thoroughly-meat to at least an INTERNALtemperature of 160°F and poultry
to at least an INTERNALtemperature of l 80°E Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against

foodbome illness.

WARNING!

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

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.

For your safety, never use your appliance for

warming or heating the room.

Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate inor near the range.

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 or warming drawer can be
smothered completely by closing the door
and turning the oven off or by using a multi-

purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.

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,

areasfacing the cooktop, oven vent opening,
surfaces near the opening, crevices around
the oven door and metal trim parts above

the 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.

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 warming

drawer or storage drawer.

WARMING DRAWER (onsome models)

GEAppliances.com

The purpose of the warming drawer is to hold

hot cooked foods at serving temperature.

Always start with hot food; cold food cannot

be heated or cooked in the warming drawer.
Do not use the warming drawer to dry

newspapers. If overheated, they can catch

on fire.

Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils

or food in the warming drawer when not

in use.
Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in

or near your warming drawer.
Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and

canned food a safe distance away from your
warming drawer.

Do not warm food in the warming drawer

for more than two hours.

SURFACEUNITS--ALL MODELS

iiiiiiiliiii!

Do not touch the heating element or the
interior surface of the warming drawer.

These surfaces may be hot enough to burn.
REMEMBER:The inside surface of the

warming drawer may be hot when the

drawer is opened.

iiiiiiiliiii!

Use care when opening the drawer. Open

the drawer a crack and let hot air or steam
escape before removing or replacing food. Hot

air or steam which escapes con cause burns
to hands, face and/or eyes.

iiiiiiiliiii!

Do not use aluminum foil to line the drawer.
Foil isan excellent heat insulator and will

trap heat beneath it. This will upset the
performance of the drawer and it could

damage the interior finish.

Use proper pan sizeJselect cookware having fiat 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, gloss/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.
Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you do

flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

iiiiiiiliiii!

Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or

medium high heat settings.

iiiiiiiliiii!

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.

iiiiiiiliiii!

Use little fat for effective shallow or deep fat

frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause
spillovers when food is added.

iiiiiiiliiii!

If a combination of oils or fats will be used in

frying, stir together before heating, or as fats
melt slowly.

iiiiiiiliiii!

Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.

iiiiiiiliiii!

Use a deep fat thermometer whenever

possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the
smoking point.

Type of Margarine Will Affect Baking Performance!

GEAppliances.com

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.

Preheating and Pan Placement

Preheatthe oven ifthe recipecoilsfor it.

Topreheat, setthe oven at the correct
temperature. Preheatingisnecessary for

good results when baking cakes,cookies,
pastry ond breads.

Onsome models,thedisplay will show "PRE"

Federalstandards require products labeled
"margarine" to contain at least 80% fat by

weight. Low-fat spreads,on the other hand,
contain lessfat and more water.The high

moisture content of these spreadsaffects
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.
