IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

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 birth defects or other reproductive harm, and

requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon

monoxide, formaldehFde and soot, caused primaril 9 by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or
LP fuels. Properl9 adjusted burners, indicated b9 a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize

incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

ge,com

'T:j::::£¸¸

ii//i/i!ii_i_iiii/

_i:,:Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path

and out of draftg locations to prevent poor air
circulation.

_?_::Be sure all packaging materials are removed

from the range before operating it to prevent
fire or smoke damage should the packaging

material ignite.

;_i:,:Be sure your range is correctly adjusted by

a qualified service technician or installer for
the type of gas (natural or LP)that is to be

used. Your range can be converted for use

with either type of gas. See the Instollation
of the range section.

A WARNING: Theseadjustments

must be mode bg o qualified service
technician in accordance with the

manufacturer's instructions and all codes
and requirements of the authority having

jurisdiction. Failure to follow these instructions

could result in serious injury or property
damage. The qualified agency performing

this work assumes responsibility for the

conversion.

;_i:,:After prolonged use of a range, high floor

temperatures may result and many floor
coverings will not withstand this kind of use.

Never install the range over vinyl tile or
linoleum that cannot withstand such type

of use. Never install it directly over interior

kitchen carpeting.

_;i:,:Do not leave children alone or unattended

where a range is hot or in operation. They
could be seriously burned.

_::Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang

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

CAUTION: Itemsofinterestto

children should not be stored in cabinets
above a range or on the backsplash of o

range-children climbing on the range to
reach items could be seriously injured.

_i:,:For your safetg, never use your appliance

for warming or heating the room.

_i:,:Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments

while using the appliance. Be careful when

reaching for items stored in cabinets over the
range. Flammable material could be ignited if
brought in contact with flame or hot oven

surfaces and may cause severe burns.

_?_::Do not store flammable materials in an oven,

a range drawer or near a cooktop.

_::Do not store or use combustible materials,

gasoline or other flammable vapors and

liquids in the vicinity of this or any other

appliance.

_::Do not let cooking grease or other flammable

materials accumulate in or 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 burner

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 extinguishe[

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-tgpe fire extinguishen

Flame in the upper oven or lower oven drawer

can be smothered completelg by closing the
oven door or drawer and turning the control to
off, or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical

or foam-tgpe fire extinguisher.

_t_:_Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool

before touching them or leaving them where

children can reach them.

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 lower oven

drawer or kick panel.

Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can
lead to damage and improper operation of the
range.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

SURFACEBURNERS

Use proper pan size-avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cool<wore having flat
bottoms large enough to cover burner grates, Toavoid spillovers, mal<esure cool<wore is large enough
to contain the food properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of
food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be
easily grasped and remain cool.

_;):,:Always use the LITE position when igniting the

top burners and make sure the burners have

ignited.

_::Never leave the surface burners unattended at

high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking

and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

_;i:,:Adjust the top burner flame size so it does not

extend beyond the edge of the cookware.

Excessive flame is hazardous.

_t_:_Use only dry pot holders-moist or damp pot

holders on hot surfaces may result in burns

from steam. Do not let pot holders come near
open flames when lifting cookware. Do not use

a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a pot

holde[

_: When using glass cookware, make sure it

is designed for top-of-range cooking,

_::To minimize the possibilitg of burns, ignition

of flammable materials and spillage, turn
cookware handles toward the side or back

of the range without extending over adjacent

burners.

_t_:_Carefully watch foods being fried at a high

flame setting.

;_'Always heat fat slowlg, and watch as it heats.
_: Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The

hot air from the vent may ignite flammable
items and will increase pressure in closed

containers, which may cause them to burst.

If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in frying, stir together before heating or

as fats melt slowlg.

Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond

the smoking point.

;_):,:Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you do

flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

;_i:,:Do not use a wok on the cooking surface

ifthe wok has a round metal ring that is placed

over the burner grate to support the wok, This

ring acts as a heat trap, which may damage

the burner grate and burner head. Also, it may
cause the burner to work improperlg. This may

cause a carbon monoxide level above that
allowed by current standards, resulting ina

health hazard.

_t_:_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.

;_i:,:Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especiallg

a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.

;_i:,:Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop-

they may melt if left too close to the vent.

;_i:,:Keep all plastics away from the surface

burners.

_t_:_To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be

certain that the controls for all burners are
at the OFF position and all grates are cool

before attempting to remove them.

;_i:,:If range is located near a window, do not hang

long curtains that could blow over the surface
burners and create a fire hazard.

_t::_If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range

and call a qualified service technician. Never

use an open flame to locate a leak.

;_):,:Always turn the surface burner controls off

before removing cookware.

_t_:_Use the least possible amount of fat for

effective shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling the

pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when

food is added.

ELECTRICWARMING DRAWER AND LOWEROVEN DRAWER

ii//i/i!ii_iiiiiii/

_t{::The purpose of the warming drawer

and WARM ZONEsetting of the lower oven
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 or the WARM ZONEsetting
of the lower oven drawer.

;_i:,:Do not use the lower oven drawer to dry

newspapers. If overheated, they can catch

on fire.

_t{:_Do not leave paper products, plastics, canned

food or combustible materials in the drawee

_):':Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings inor

near your lower oven drawee

_i:,:Do not warm food in the lower oven drawer

for more than two hours.

_ Do not touch the heating element or the

interior surface of the lower oven drawer.

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

oven drawer may be hot when the drawer
is opened.

_t:::Use care when opening the lower oven

drawer. Open the drawer a crack and let
hot air or steam escape before removing

or replacing food. Hot air or steam which
escapes can cause burns to hands, face

and/or eyes.

_i:,:Do not use aluminum foil to line the lower

oven drawer. Foil is an excellent heat insulator
and will trap heat beneath it. This will upset

the performance of the drawer and it could
damage the interior finish.

;_::,:Never place, use or self-clean the lower oven

drawer pan in the upper oven.

Aluminum Foil

Donot usealuminum foil on the bottom of
the oven.

Donot usealuminum foil to catch spillovers
when usingthe CircuWavefun. Thefoil

will be suckedtoward the convection fan.
Never entirelg cover a shelfwith aluminum

foil.Thiswill disturb the heat circulation and
result in poor baking.

A smaller sheetof foil may be usedto catch a
spillover by placing iton a lower shelf several
inches below the food.

Oven Moisture

Asyour oven heats up, the temperature
change of the air inthe oven may cause

water droplets to form on the door glass.

These droplets areharmless and will

evaporate as the oven continuesto
heat up.

Using the probe, consomemode s;

If £our model has a door latch, do not lock the oven door with the latch while cooking with the probe. The latch is used
for self-cleaning only.

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

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.

Useof probesother than the one provided

with this product mag result in damage to
the probe.

Usethe handlesof the probe and plug when

inserting and removing them from the food
and outlet.

i_,To avoiddamaging your probe, do not use

tongs to pull on the cable when removing it.

!i_:Toavoid breaking theprobe,makesurefood

iscompletely defrostedbefore inserting.

5_:Topreventpossiblebums,donotunplugthe

probefrom theoutletuntiltheovenhascooled.

After preparing the meat and placing it on
a trivet or on abroiler pan grid, follow these

directions for proper probe placement.

Insertthe probe completelg into the meat.
Itshould not touch the bone,fat or gristle.

_ Cable

ij_:,Neverleaveyour probe insidethe oven

during a self-cleaningchicle.

!i_:Donot store theprobe in the oven.

Forroasts with no bone,insert the probe into
the meatiest part of the roast. Forbone-in

ham or lamb,insert the probe into the center
of the lowest large muscle.

Insert the probe into the center of dishessuch
as meat loaf or casseroles.

Insert the probe into the meatiest part of the

How to Set the Upper Oven For Cooking When Using the Probe

[] Insert the probe into the food.
[] Plug the probe into the outlet in the

oven. Make sure it's pushed all the
wag in. Close the oven dooE

[] Touch the Probe pad.

[] Touch the number pads to set

the desired internal food or meat
temperature between lO0°F and 200°R

[] Touch the Bake pad.
[] Touch the number pads to set the

desired oven temperature.

[] Touch the Start- pad.

The displabl will flash if the probe is inserted
into the outlet and you hove not set a probe
temperature and touched the Start pad.

The displagwill show LO until the internal

temperature of the food reaches lO0°F;then
the changing internal temperature will be

shown.

[] When the internal temperature of the

food reachesthe number gou have set,
the probe and the oventurn off and the
oven control signals.Tostop the signal,
touch the Clear/Offpad. Usehot pads to
remove the probefrom the food. Do not
usetongs to pull on it-theg might
damage it.

Tochange the oven temperature during
probe cooking, touch the Bakepad and then

the number pads to set the new temperature.
_ If the probe isremoved from the food before

the final temperature isreached,a tone will
sound and the display will flash until the
probe is removedfrom the oven.

!i_:Youcan use the timer even though blou

cannot use timed oven operations while
using the probe.

Usingthe convection oven.

If your model has a door latch, do not lock the oven door with the latch during convection cooking. The latch is used
for self-cleaning only.

The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened. DONOTleave the door open for long periods of time
while using convection cooking.

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 than
with regular heat.

Tohelp gou understand the difference
between convection bake and roast and

traditional bakeand roast, here are some
general guidelines.

Convection Bake

::Ji::Preheatthe oven.Seethe Usingthe Oven-

Preheatingand PanPlacement section.

_ Idealfor foods cooked on multiple shelves.
::Ji::Good for large quantitiesof baked foods.

_ Good resultswith cookies,biscuits,

brownies, cupcakes,cream puffs, sweet
rolls, angel food cakeand bread.

Theconvection fan circulates the heated
air evenlg over and around the food.

Roostsor poultry shouldbe cookedon shelf

position (A).

When gou are convection roosting,it is

important that you use a broiler pan and grid

for best convection roosting results.The pan

isused to catch grease spillsand the grid is
usedto prevent grease spotters.

!i_:Placetheshelf in shelf position (A).

ge.com

Convection Roast

_ Good for large tendercuts of meat,

uncovered,

Theconvection fan circulates the heated air
evenlg over and around the food. Meat and

poultrg are browned on all sidesas ifthey
were cooked on a rotisserie.Heated air will

be circulated over,under and around the
food being roosted.The heated air seals in

juices quickly for o moist and tender product

while, at the same time, creating a rich
golden brown exterior.

Multi-Shelf Baking

Thenumber of shelvesprovided depends
on _lourmodel.

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

Hulti-shelf baking mag increasecook times

istime saved. Cookies,muffins, biscuits and

other quick breads giveverg good results
with multi-shelf baking.

When baking larger foods on 3 shelves,place
one shelf inthe 2nd (A)position,one on the

4th (C)positionand the third shelf in the 6th (E)

position.
When baking cookies,placethe shelvesin the
