Built-In Electric

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.

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.

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.

www.GEAppliances.com

■ 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 7 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 or knobs. To set the oven
for baking turn the knob to the desired setting
and temperature. Turn the knob to OFF when
baking is complete.

If you have a two knob system, turn both knobs to
the desired setting and temperature to bake and
to the OFF position 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.

Oven Shelf Positions

Type of Food 24” & 27” 30”

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 1

1

⁄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.

11

How to Set the Oven for Broiling

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

Follow suggested shelf positions in
the

Broiling Guide.

If your oven is connected to 208 volts, rare steaks
may be broiled by preheating the broiler and
positioning the oven shelf one position higher.

Press the

BROIL HI/LO

NOTE: On some models the lower oven is
controlled with a knob or knobs. To set the oven
for broiling turn the knob to BROIL. Turn the knob
to OFF when broiling is complete.

If you have a two knob system, turn both knobs to
the BROIL position to broil and to the OFF position
when broiling is complete.

Leave the door open to the broil

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.

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.

NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling
or the self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment
will be retained in memory after a power failure.

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.

(ovens operated with touch pads)

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

Before a Clean Cycle

The oven must be cool in order to set the self­clean 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.

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

How to Set the Oven for Cleaning

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 soap­filled steel wool 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.

Lift the door straight up and off
the hinges.

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.

Lift-Off Oven Door

The oven door is removable for easier
access to the light bulb.

Do not lift the door by the handle.

To remove the door,

open it to the broil
stop position. Grasp firmly on each side
and lift the door straight up and off
the hinges.

Do not place hands between the hinge and the
oven door frame.

To replace the door,

make sure the hinges
are in the broil stop position. Position the
slots in the bottom of the door squarely
over the hinges and slowly lower it over
both hinges.

To clean the outside of the door:

■ Use soap and water to thoroughly

clean the top, sides and front of the
oven door. Rinse well. You may also
use a glass cleaner to clean the glass
on the outside of the door. Do not
let water drip into the vent openings.

■ Spillage of marinades, fruit juices,

tomato sauces and basting materials
containing acids may cause
discoloration and should be wiped
up immediately. When surface is
cool, clean and rinse.

■ Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning

powders or harsh abrasives on the
outside of the door.

To clean the inside of the door:

(on self-cleaning ovens)

■ 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 the

front frame can be cleaned with a soap­filled steel wool or plastic pad, hot
water and detergent. Rinse well with
a vinegar and water solution.

To clean the inside of the door:

(on standard clean ovens)

■ Soap and water will normally do the

job. Heavy spattering or spillovers may
require cleaning with a mild abrasive
cleaner. Soap-filled steel wool pads
may also be used.

Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid
content (such as tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices
or pie filling) to remain on the surface. They may
cause a dull spot even after cleaning.

■ If necessary, you may use an oven

cleaner. Follow the package directions.

■ Clean the inside of the oven window

with a mild non-scratching cleaner
and a damp cloth.

Care and cleaning of the oven.

Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the oven.

How to Remove Packaging Tape

To assure no damage is done to the finish
of the product, the safest way to remove
the adhesive left from packaging tape on
new appliances is an application of a
household liquid dishwashing detergent,
mineral oil or cooking oil.

Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak.
Wipe dry and then apply an appliance
polish to thoroughly clean and protect
the surface.

NOTE: The plastic tape must be removed from
all chrome trim. It cannot be removed if it is
baked on.

Oven Shelves

Clean the oven shelves with an abrasive
cleanser or steel wool. After cleaning,
rinse the shelves with clean water and dry
with a clean cloth.

NOTE: The oven shelves may be cleaned in the
self-cleaning oven. However, the shelves will
darken in color, lose their luster and become hard
to slide if cleaned during the self-cleaning cycle.
You can wipe the shelf supports with cooking
oil after self-cleaning to make the shelves slide
more easily.

Oven Knob

(on some models)

The control knob (lower oven only) may be
removed for easier cleaning.

Before removing the knob for cleaning,
please note that the knob is in the

OFF

position. When replacing the knob,
check the

OFF

position to insure proper

placement.

Wash the knob in soap and water or a
vinegar and hot water solution but do
not soak.

The knob stem is Dshaped. Install the flat
of the shaft to the flat of the knob.

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 cleansers 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 self­cleaning 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.

Do not allow the water or cleaner
to run down inside the oven door
while cleaning.

Painted Surfaces

Clean with soap and water or a vinegar
and water solution.

Do not use commercial oven cleaners,
cleansing powders, steel wool or harsh
abrasives on any painted surface.

Oven Heating Elements

Do not clean the bake element or the broil
element. Any soil will burn off when the
elements are heated.

To clean the oven floor, gently lift
the bake element. Clean with warm
soapy water.

Oven Light Bulb

(on some models)

NOTE: The glass cover should be removed only
when cold. Wearing latex gloves may offer a
better grip.

Before replacing the bulb, disconnect
electrical power to the oven at the main
fuse or circuit breaker panel. Let the bulb
cool completely before removing it. For
your safety, do not touch a hot bulb with a
damp cloth. If you do, the bulb will break.

To remove:

Turn the glass cover counterclockwise
1/4 turn until the tabs of the glass cover
clear the grooves of the socket. Remove
the bulb.

To replace:

Put in a new 40-watt appliance bulb. Place
the tabs of the glass cover into the grooves
of the socket. Turn the glass cover
clockwise 1⁄4 turn.

NOTE:

■

A 40-watt appliance bulb is smaller than a
standard 40-watt household bulb.

■

Install and tighten the cover clockwise.

■

Reconnect electrical power to the oven.

■

For improved lighting inside the oven, clean
the glass cover frequently using a wet cloth.
This should be done when the oven is
completely cool.

Care and cleaning of the oven.

Porcelain Oven Interior

(on some models)

With proper care, the porcelain enamel
finish on the inside of the oven—top,
bottom, sides, back and inside of the
door—will stay new-looking for years.

Let the oven cool before cleaning. We
recommend that you wear rubber gloves
when cleaning the oven.

Soap and water will normally do the job.
Heavy spattering or spillovers may require
cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner.
Soap-filled steel wool pads may also be used.

Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid
content (such as tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices
or pie filling) to remain on the surface. They may
cause a dull spot even after cleaning.

Household ammonia may make the
cleaning job easier. Place 1/2 cup in a
shallow glass or pottery container in a
cold oven overnight.

The ammonia fumes will help loosen the
burned-on grease and food.

If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner.
Follow the package directions.

■

Do not spray oven cleaner on the electrical
controls and switches because it could cause a
short circuit and result in sparking or fire.

■

Do not allow a film from the cleaner to build up
on the temperature sensor—it could cause the
oven to heat improperly. (The sensor is located
at the top of the oven.) Carefully wipe the
sensor clean after each oven cleaning, being
careful not to move the sensor as a change in
its position could affect how the oven bakes.

■

Do not spray any oven cleaner on the oven
door, handles or any exterior surface of the
oven, cabinets or painted surfaces. The cleaner
can damage these surfaces.
