IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

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 technician in accordance with the provided installation instructions.

■ Do not attempt to repair or replace any

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

■ Have the installer show you the location

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

■ Before performing any service, disconnect

the oven 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. They could damage the oven, or cause severe personal injury.

■ Be sure the oven is securely installed in

a cabinet that is firmly attached to the house structure. Never allow anyone to climb, sit, stand or hang on the oven door.

■ Never leave the oven door open when you

are not watching the oven.

■ Always keep combustible wall covering,

curtains or drapes a safe distance from your oven.

■ Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot

holders and other linens a safe distance from your oven.

■ Always keep wooden and plastic utensils

and canned food a safe distance away from your oven.

■ Teach children not to play with the

controls or any other part of the oven.

■ Large scratches or impacts to glass doors

can lead to broken or shattered glass.

WARNING!

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

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.

Page 3

■ Do not store flammable materials in

an oven.

■ CAUTION: Items of interest to

children should not be stored in cabinets above an oven; children climbing on the oven 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 in cabinets over the oven. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with hot surfaces 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 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 in or near the oven.

■ Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick

up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.

■ Flame in the oven can be smothered

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

■ Do not touch 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 any interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time for cooling first.

■ Potentially hot surfaces include oven vent

openings, surfaces near the openings, crevices around the oven door, the edges of the window and metal trim parts above the door.

■ REMEMBER: The inside surface of the oven

may be hot when the door is opened.

■ Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in

or near your oven.

■ Do not store or use combustible materials,

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

■ Stand away from the oven when opening

the oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

■ 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.

■ After broiling, always take the broiler pan

out of the oven and clean it. Leftover grease in the broiler pan can catch fire next time you use the pan.

■ Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s

Manual.

■ 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.

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 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.

■ 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.

■ Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the

broiler pan, grid and 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.

Aluminum Foil

You can use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan and broiler grid. However, you must mold the foil tightly to the grid and cut slits in it just like the grid.

Aluminum foil may also be used to catch a spillover.

Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking.

A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch a spillover by placing it on a lower shelf several inches below the food.

Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.

Using the oven.

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

Before you begin…

The shelves 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 shelf out to the bump on the shelf support.

To remove a shelf, pull it toward you, tilt the front end up and pull it out.

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

The oven has 7 shelf positions.

How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting

Press the BAKE pad.

Press the number pads to set the desired temperature.

Press the START pad.

Check food for doneness at minimum time on recipe. Cook longer if necessary.

Press the CLEAR/OFF pad when cooking is complete.

NOTE: A cooling fan may automatically turn on and off to cool internal parts. This is normal, and the fan may continue to run even after the oven is turned off.

Type of Food Shelf Position

Frozen pies C or D (on cookie sheet)

Angel food cake B

Bundt or pound cakes B

Biscuits, muffins, C or D brownies, cookies, cupcakes, layer cakes, pies

Casseroles C or D

Preheating and Pan Placement

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature. Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.

For ovens without a preheat indicator light or tone, preheat 10 minutes.

Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible. Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the oven. If you need to use two shelves, stagger the pans so one is not directly above the other, and leave approximately 11⁄2″ between pans, from the front, back and sides of the wall.

How to Set the Oven for Broiling

Leave the door open to the broil stop position. The door stays open by itself, yet the proper temperature is maintained in the oven.

NOTE: Food can be broiled with the door closed but it may not brown as well because the oven heating element will cycle on and off.

Place the meat or fish on the broiler grid in the broiler pan.

Follow suggested shelf positions in the Broiling Guide.

The size, weight, thickness, starting temperature and your preference for doneness will affect

broiling times. This guide is based on meats at refrigerator temperature.

Press the BROIL HI/LO pad once for HI Broil.

To change to LO Broil, press the BROIL HI/LO pad again.

How to Set the Oven For Roasting When Using the Probe

Insert the probe into the meat.

Plug the probe into the outlet in the oven. Make sure it’s pushed all the way in. Close the oven door.

Press the PROBE pad.

Press the number pads to set the desired internal food or meat temperature. The maximum internal temperature for the food that you can set is 200°F.

Press the BAKE pad.

Press the number pads to set the desired oven temperature.

Press the START pad.

The display will flash if the probe is inserted into the outlet and you have not set a probe temperature and pressed the START pad.

When the oven starts to heat, the word LO will be in the display.

After the internal temperature of the meat reaches 100°F, the changing internal temperature will be shown in the display.

When the internal temperature of the meat reaches the number you have set, the probe and the oven turn off and the oven control signals. To stop the signal, press the CLEAR/OFF pad. Use hot pads to remove the probe from the food. Do not use tongs to pull on it—they might damage it.

To change the oven temperature during the Roast cycle, press the BAKE pad and then the number pads to set the new temperature.

■ If the probe is removed from the food before

the final temperature is reached, a tone will sound and the display will flash until the probe is removed from the oven.

■ You can use the timer even though you cannot

use timed oven operations.

Using the probe.

For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal food temperature is the best test for doneness. The temperature probe takes the guesswork out of roasting by cooking foods to the exact doneness you want.

NOTE: Double oven models have a probe in the upper oven only.

Use of probes other than the one provided with this product may result in damage to the probe.

Use the handles of the probe and plug when inserting and removing them from the meat and outlet.

■ To avoid damaging your probe, do not use

tongs to pull on the cable when removing it.

■ To avoid breaking the probe, make sure food is

completely defrosted before inserting.

■ To prevent possible burns, do not unplug

the probe from the outlet until the oven has cooled.

■ Never leave your probe inside the oven during

a self-cleaning cycle.

■ Do not store the probe in the oven.

The temperature probe has a skewer-like probe at one end and a plug at the other end that goes into the outlet in the oven.

After preparing the meat and placing it on a trivet or on the broiler pan grid, follow these directions for proper probe placement.

Lay the probe on the outside of the meat along the top or side and mark with your finger where the edge of the meat comes to on the probe. The point should rest in the center of the thickest meaty part of the roast.

Insert the probe completely into the meat, up to the handle. It should not touch bone, fat or gristle.

For roasts with no bone, insert the probe into the meatiest part of the roast. For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the center of the lowest large muscle or joint.

Insert the probe into the center of dishes such as meat loaf or casseroles. When cooking fish, insert the probe from just above the gill into the meatiest area, parallel to the backbone.

Insert the probe into the meatiest part of the inner thigh from below and parallel to the leg of a whole turkey.

Using the convection oven. www.GEAppliances.com

Adapting Recipes…

You can use your favorite recipes in the convection oven.

When convection baking, the Auto Recipe™Conversion feature automatically reduces the set regular baking temperature by the recommended 25°F. See Auto Recipe™Conversion in the Special features of your oven control section.

■ Use pan size recommended.

■ Some package instructions for frozen

casseroles or main dishes have been developed using commercial convection ovens. For best results in this oven, preheat the oven and use the temperature on the package.

NOTE: The convection fan will cycle on and off 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.

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.

■ Ideal for evenly browned baked foods cooked

on multiple shelves.

■ Good for large quantities of baked foods.

■ Good results with cookies, biscuits, muffins,

brownies, cupcakes, cream puffs, sweet rolls, angel food cake and bread.

The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food.

When convection baking with only 1 shelf, follow the shelf positions recommended in the Using the oven section.

Because heated air is circulated evenly throughout the oven, foods can be baked with excellent results using multiple shelves.

Multi-shelf baking may increase cook times slightly for some foods but the overall result is time saved. Cookies, muffins, biscuits and other quickbreads give very good results with multi-shelf baking.

When baking on 3 shelves, place one shelf in the second (B) position, one in the fourth (D) position and one in the 6th (F) position.

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 in convection ovens. Plastic cookware that is heat-resistant to temperatures of 400°F can also be used.

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.

■ Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake

faster than shiny pans.

■ 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

Press the CONVECTION BAKE pad or the CONVECTION ROAST pad.

Press the number pads to set the desired oven temperature.

Press the START pad.

To change the oven temperature, press the CONVECTION BAKE or CONVECTION ROAST pad and then the number pads to set the new temperature.

When the oven starts to heat, the changing temperature, starting at 100°F, will be displayed. When the oven reaches the temperature you set, 3 beeps will sound.

Press the CLEAR/OFF pad when finished.

■ You will hear a fan while cooking with

convection. The fan will stop when the door is opened, but the heat will not turn off.

■ You may hear the oven clicking during baking.

This is normal.

Grid

Broiler pan

■ 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. Heated air will be circulated over, under and around the food being roasted. 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 the broiler pan and grid 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.

CAUTION: To prevent possible burns, do not unplug the probe from the oven outlet until the oven has cooled. Do not store the probe in the oven.

NOTE:

■ If the probe is removed from the food before

the final temperature is reached, a tone will sound and the display will flash until the probe is removed from the oven.

■ You will hear a fan while cooking with this

feature. The fan will stop when the door is opened, but the heat will not turn off.

■ You can use the timer even though you cannot

use timed oven operations.

■ On double oven models, you will not be able to

use the probe in the upper oven during timed oven operations. This is because, with the probe, you are cooking by temperature rather than time.

For best results when roasting large turkeys and roasts, we recommend using the probe included in the convection oven.

To change the oven temperature during the Convection Roast cycle, press the CONVECTION ROAST pad and then press the number pads to set the new desired temperature.

Adjust the oven thermostat—Do it yourself! www.GEAppliances.com

You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself.

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.

NOTE: This adjustment will only affect baking and roasting temperatures; it does not affect broiling, convection or self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.

To Adjust the Thermostat

Press the BAKE and BROIL HI/LO pads at the same time for 3 seconds until the display shows SF.

Press the BAKE pad for the oven which you want to use. A two-digit number shows in the display.

Press BAKE again to alternate between increasing and decreasing the oven temperature.

The oven temperature can be adjusted up to (+) 35°F hotter or (-) 35°F cooler. Press the number pads the same way you read them. For example, to change the oven temperature 15°F, press 1 and 5.

When you have made the adjustment, press the START pad to go back to the time of day display. Use your oven as you would normally.

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.

The gasket is designed with a gap at the bottom to allow for proper air circulation.

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

■ Do not store the temperature probe in

the oven.

Broiler Pan & Grid

Do not clean the broiler pan or grid in a self-cleaning oven.

After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the oven. Remove the grid from the pan. Carefully pour out the grease from the pan into a proper container.

Wash and rinse the broiler pan and grid in hot water with a soap-filled or plastic scouring pad.

If food has burned on, sprinkle the grid with detergent while hot and cover with wet paper towels or a dishcloth. Soaking the pan will remove burned-on foods.

Both the broiler pan and grid may be cleaned with a commercial oven cleaner.

Both the broiler pan and grid can also be cleaned in a dishwasher.

Do not store a soiled broiler pan and grid anywhere in the oven.

After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the oven.

Oven Heating Elements

Do not clean the broil element. Any soil will burn off when the element is heated.

The bake element is not exposed and is under the removable oven floor. If spillovers, residue or ash accumulate on the removable oven floor, wipe up before self-cleaning.

To clean the bake element area, take out the removable floor (see the Removable Oven Floor section) and gently lift the bake element. Clean with warm soapy water. Always replace the removable floor before next use.

NOTE: Failure to replace the removable floor will adversely affect the cooking performance.

Control Panel

It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use. Clean with mild soap and water or vinegar and water, rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth.

Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers, plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control panel—they will damage the finish. A 50/50 solution of vinegar and hot water works well.

Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)

Do not use a steel-wool pad; it will scratch the surface.

To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water, a stainless steel cleaner such as Kleen King®or an all-purpose liquid or spray cleaner. Always scrub in the direction of the grain. Rinse thoroughly with a sponge or cloth and clean water. Dry with a soft, clean cloth.
