IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

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.

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 coverings,

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.

■ 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.

■ 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.

■ 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.

WARNING!

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

■ 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.

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.

NOTE: 30 ″ ovens (shown) have 6 shelf positions.
27 ″ovens have 4 shelf positions.

How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting

Press the BAKE pad.

Press the TEMP + or – 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: On some models, the lower oven is
controlled with a knob. To set the oven for
baking, turn the knob to the desired setting or
temperature. Turn the knob to OFF when baking
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.

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.

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.

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 of
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.

Press the START pad.

When broiling is finished, press the

CLEAR/OFF pad.

NOTE: On some models, the lower oven is

controlled with a knob. To set the oven for broiling,
turn the knob to BROIL. Turn the knob to OFF

Adjust the oven thermostat—Do it yourself!

ge.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 or self-cleaning
temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.

To Adjust the Oven Thermostat (on some models)

Both touch pad ovens follow the
same step 1. First press the upper
oven BAKE and BROIL HI/LO pads at
the same time for 3 seconds until
the display shows SF. Then proceed
with steps 2 through 4, using the
pads for the upper or lower oven.

Press the BAKE pad. A two-digit
number shows in the display.

The oven temperature can be
adjusted up to (+) 35°F hotter or
(-) 35°F cooler. Press the TEMP +
pad to increase the temperature in
1-degree increments. Press the
TEMP – pad to decrease the
temperature in 1-degree increments.

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.

To Adjust the Oven Thermostat (on some models)

Pull the OVEN knob off the shaft, look
at the back of the knob and note the
current setting before making any
adjustment. The knob is factory set with
the top screw directly under the pointer.

Pull off the OVEN knob.

Loosen both screws on back of
the knob.

Hold both parts of the knob as
shown in the illustration of the back
of the OVEN knob and turn so the
lower screw moves in the desired
direction.

You will hear and feel the notches as
you turn the knob. Each notch changes
temperature about 10° Fahrenheit.

Tighten the screws.

Return the OVEN knob to the oven.

Re-check oven performance before making any
additional adjustments.

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.

Turn the disk counterclockwise to
increase the oven temperature.

Turn the disk clockwise to decrease
the oven temperature.

Using the self-cleaning oven. (on some models)

The oven door must be closed and all controls must be set correctly for the cycle to work properly.

Before a Clean Cycle

We recommend venting your kitchen
with an open window or using a
ventilation fan or hood during the
first self-clean cycle.

Remove the broiler pan, broiler grid, all
cookware and any aluminum foil from
the oven.

The oven shelves can be self-cleaned, but
they will darken, lose their luster and
become hard to slide.

Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners.
Clean the top, sides and outside of the
oven door with soap and water.

Make sure the oven light bulb cover
(on some models) is in place and the
oven light is off.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds
is extremely sensitive to the fumes given
off during the self-cleaning cycle of any
oven. Move birds to another well
ventilated room.

■ On models with touch pad controls

for both ovens, you can set a clean
cycle in both ovens at the same time.
The last oven set will automatically
delay its start until the end of the first
oven’s clean cycle.

■ On models with touch pad controls for

both ovens, you can use timed baking
in one oven and self-clean the other at
the same time.

■ On models with a knob, the lower

oven does not have the self-clean
feature.

Wipe up heavy soil on the oven
bottom. (appearance may vary)

How to Set the Oven for Cleaning

Press the SELF CLEAN STD/LOW pad
once for a 4-hour clean time or
twice for a 3-hour clean time.

A 3-hour self-clean time is
recommended for use when
cleaning small, contained spills. A
self-clean time of 4 hours or longer
is recommended for a dirtier oven.

If a time other than 4 hours or
3 hours is needed, use the HOUR
and MIN + or – pads and enter
the desired clean time.

You can change the clean time to any
time between 3 hours and 5 hours,
depending on how dirty your oven is.

Press the START pad.

The door locks automatically. The display
will show the clean time remaining. It will
not be possible to open the oven door
until the temperature drops below the
lock temperature and the LOCKED light
goes off.

When the LOCKED light goes off, you will
be able to open the door.

■ The word LOCK will flash and the oven

control will signal if you set the clean
cycle and forget to close the oven door.

■ To stop a clean cycle, press the

CLEAR/OFF pad. When the LOCKED light
goes off indicating the oven has cooled
below the locking temperature, you
will be able to open the door.

ovens at the same time. The second oven set will
automatically delay the start of cleaning until the
end of the first oven’s clean cycle.

To recall the start time of the second oven set,
press the DELAY START pad on the controls for
the second oven.

After a Clean Cycle

You may notice some white ash in the
oven. Wipe it up with a damp cloth after
the oven cools.

If white spots remain, remove them with a
soap-filled scouring pad and rinse thoroughly with
a vinegar and water mixture.

These deposits are usually a salt
residue that cannot be removed by
the clean cycle.

If the oven is not clean after one clean
cycle, repeat the cycle.

■ You cannot set the oven for cooking

until the oven is cool enough for the
door to unlock.

■ If the shelves become hard to

slide, wipe the shelf supports with
cooking oil.

How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape

The door is very heavy. Be careful when
removing and lifting the door.

Do not lift the door by the handle.

To remove the door:

Fully open the door.

Pull the hinge locks down toward
the door frame, to the unlocked
position. A tool, such as a small
flat-blade screwdriver, may be
required.

Firmly grasp both sides of the door
at the top.

Close door to the door removal

the broil stop position and fully
closed.

Lift door up and out until the hinge
arm is clear of the slot.

To replace the door:

Firmly grasp both sides of the door
at the top.

With the
door at the
same angle as
the removal
position, seat the
indentation of
the hinge arm
into the bottom
edge of the hinge
slot. The notch in the hinge arm
must be fully seated into the bottom

of the knobs are dry before replacing.

Replace the knobs in the OFF position to
ensure proper placement.

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.

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.

After broiling, remove the broiler
pan from the oven.

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