Never leave the surface units unattended at medium or high heat settings. Boilovers cause

smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed

to heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite,

resulting in fire that may spread to surrounding

cabinets. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever

possible to monitor oil temperature.

To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum

amount of oil when shallow pan-frying and avoid cooking frozen foods with excessive amounts of ice.

Use proper pan size-select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface heating

element. The use of undersized cookware will

WARNING I

(some models)

Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass

surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the controls have been turned off.

Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If glass cooktop

should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may

penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of

electric shock. Contact o qualified technician

immediately. Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The cooktop

con be scratched with items such as knives, sharp instruments, rings or other jewelry and rivets on

clothing. Do not place or store items that can melt or catch

fire on the glass cooktop, even when it is not being used. If the cooktop is inadvertently turned on, they

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. Only certain types of glass, glass/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. When preparing flaming foods under a hood, turn

the fan on.

may ignite. Heat from the cooktop or oven vent after it isturned off may cause them to ignite also.

Use CERAIVIABRYTE® ceramic Cooktop Cleaner and CERAIVIABRYTE®Cleaning Pad to clean the cooktop.

Wait until the cooktop cools and the indicator light

goes out before cleaning. A wet sponge or cloth on a hot surface can cause steam burns. Some

cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. NOTE: Sugar spills are an exception.

They should be scraped off while still hot using an

oven mitt and a scraper. See the Cleaning the gloss cooktop section for detailed instructions.

Read and follow all instructions and warnings on

the cleaning cream label.

I WARNING I

(some models)

Do not immerse or soak the removable surface units. Do not put them in a dishwasher. Do not self-

clean the surface units in an oven. Doing so may cause them to fail, presenting a burn or fire hazard.

To avoid the possibility of a burn or electric shock, always be certain that the controls for oil surface

units are at the OFFposition and all coils are cool before attempting to lift or remove a coil surface unit.

Be sure the drip pans are not covered and are in place. Their absence during cooking could damage

range parts and wiring.

WARNINGIOVENSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS

GEAppliances.com

Stand away from the range when opening the oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause

burns to hands, face and/or eyes. Keep the oven vent unobstructed.

Keep the oven free from grease buildup. Grease in the oven may ignite.

Place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot,

do not let pot holder contact hot heating element in oven.

When using cooking or roasting bugs in the oven, follow the manufacturer's directions.

WARNING I

(Some models) The self-cleaning feature operates the oven at temperatures high enough to burn away food soils in the

oven. Follow these instructions for safe operation.

SELF-CLEANING OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

i Beforeoperating the self-clean cycle,remove pans,

shiny metal oven racks and other utensilsfrom the oven.Only gray porcelain-coated oven racksmay

beleft in the oven.Do not useself-cleanto clean

other parts,such asdrip pans or bowls.

Before operating the self-clean cycle, wipe grease

and food soils from the oven. Excessive amount of grease may ignite, leading to smoke damage to

your home.

Pull the oven rack to the stop-lock position when loading and unloading food from the oven. This

helps prevent burns from touching hot surfaces of the door and oven walls.

Do not leave items such as paper, cooking utensils

or food in the oven when not in use. Items stored in an oven can ignite.

Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. Foil may trap or reflect heat, leading to a shock or

fire hazard.

If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have it

serviced by a qualified technician. 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.

iiiiiiiiiiiii!

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.

I-4,WARNING I WARMINGDRAWER/LOWEROVENDRAWER SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS(somemodels)

The purpose of the warming drawer is to hold hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Bacteria will

grow in food while it is below 140°F. Do not put cold food in warming drawer. Do not heat food for more

than 2 hours. Failure to follow these instructions

may result in foodborne illness. Do not leave paper products, plastics, canned food

or combustible materials in the drawer. They may

ignite. Do not touch the heating element or the interior

surface of the drawer. These surfaces may be hot enough to cause burns.

iiiiiiiiiiiii!

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 that escapes can cause burns to hands,

face and/or eyes.

iiiiiiiiiiiii!

Do not use aluminum foil to line the warming drawer. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and

will trap heat beneath it. This will upset the

performance of the drawer and potentially cause a fire hazard.

For models with a glass cooktop.

Selectingtypesof cookware

for glass cooktopmodels, ionnon-/nduct/onmode sI

The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.

See insert for cookware to use with induction cooktops.

Checkpansfor flat bottomsby using astraight edge.

Stainless Steel:

recommended

Aluminum:

heavy weight recommended

Good conductivity. Aluminum residues sometimes appear as scratches on the

cooktop but can be removed if cleaned immediately. Because of its low melting

point, thin weight aluminum should not be used.

Copper Bottom:

recommended

Copper may leave residues which can appear as scratches. The residues can

be removed, as long as the cooktop is cleaned immediately. However, do not let

these pots boil dry. Overheated metal can bond to glass cooktops. An overheated

copper bottom pot willleave a residue that will permanently stain the cooktop

ifnot removed immediately.

Porcelain Enamel on Cast Iron:

recommended if bottom of pan is coated

Porcelain Enamel on Steel:

not recommended

Heating empty pans can cause permanent damage to cooktop glass. The enamel can

melt and bond to the ceramic cooktop.

Glass-ceramic:

For Best Results

i Place only dry pans on the surface

elements. Do not place lids on the surface elements, particularly wet lids.

Do not use woks that have support rings. This type of wok will not heat

on glass surface elements. We recommend that you use only a

flat-bottomed wok. They are available at your local retail store. The bottom

of the wok should have the same diameter as the surface element

to ensure proper contact. Some special cooking procedures

require specific cookware such as pressure cookers, deep-fat fryers, etc. All cookware must have flat bottoms and be the correct size.

Avoid allowing foods to boil dry as some cookware may stick to the

cooking surface, causing permanent damage to the cooktop.

You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use gout new oven for a few weeks to become more familiar with it. If blou 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 blour oven. These thermometers mabl varb120-/40 degrees.

Thetype 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 blou decrease the fat, the recipe mabl 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.

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 spreads affects the texture and flavor of baked goods. For best resultswith your old favorite recipes,use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least 70%

vegetable oil.

Convection Cook (on some models)

Theconvection oven comes with one

convection cook mode and can be used for 1-RackConvection Bakingor Multi-Rack

Convection Baking.

Convection Fan Operation

In a convection oven, a fan circulates hot air over, under and around the food.

This circulating hot air is evenlg distributed throughout the oven cavity. As a result,

foods are evenlg cooked and browned- often in less time with convection heat.

Multi-Rack Convection Baking

Because heated air iscirculated evenly throughout the oven, foods can be baked

with excellent results using multiple racks. Multi-rack baking may increase cook times

i_ L

slightly for some foods but the overall result

istime saved. Cookies,muffins, biscuitsand other quickbreadsgive very good results with multi-rack baking.

NOTE:To maximize cooking evenness, the fan isdesignedto rotate in both

directions,with a pause in between. Thisisnormal.

Theconvection fan shuts offwhen the oven door is opened. DO NOTleave the

door open for long periods of time while using convection cooking or you may

shorten the life of the convection heating element.

When baking on 3 racks, place one rack in the second (B)position, another rack

in the fourth (D)position and the third rack in the sixth (F)position.

Fortwo-rack baking, place one rack in the second (B)rack position.Place

the other rack in the fifth (E)rack position.

I-Rack Convection Baking

When convection baking with only 1 rack, place the food so that it is centered in the

oven.

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.

Darkenedor matte-finished panswill

bake faster than shiny pans. Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowlg.

Forrecipes like oven-baked chicken, usea pan with low sides. Hot air cannot circulate well around food

Guideline Tips

The slow cook program useso complex series

oftemperature cycling to obtain the best results.Forthis reason,it isrecommended

that the slow cook program be allowed to run

without cancelling or restarting. Restarting

the slow cook feature while it isin progress

may result in overcooked meat. Forjuicy and tender meat, choose cuts

of meat such as chuck roost or o boneless blade roost. Leanercuts of meat, such

astop round, ore drier and may need additional liquid.

Useonly glossand ceramic dishes. Metal pots and puns tend to transfer

the heat into the foods too quickly.

Hutch the quontitg of food to the sizepan. Fillthe pan about 3//4full for best results.

Too large o pot allows the steam to escape,

causingfoods to dry out. Always coverthe pot with o lid

or aluminum foil. Awide range of recipes may be used

in the slowcook feature. For bestresults some adjustments may needto be mode. Forsmaller sized recipes,beginchecking

at minimum time. For large recipesor when doubling recipes,foods may be cooked

for longer periods of time.

When the slow cook feature completes,

the oven will automatically switch to "worm"

mode. If additional slow cook time isdesired,

this worm mode may be usedto obtain the extra time.
