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, 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 installer in accordance with the provided installation instructions.
Have the installer show you the location of
the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.
Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of your range unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
Before performing any service, disconnect
the range 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 or cooktop. They could damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe personal injury.

Troubleshooting Tips

Care and Cleaning Operating Instructions Safety Instructions

To reduce the risk of tipping the range, the range must be secured by a properly installed anti-tip bracket. See installation instructions shipped with the bracket for complete details before attempting to install.
To check if the bracket is installed and engaged properly, remove the storage drawer or kick panel and look underneath the range to see that the leveling leg is engaged in the bracket. On models without a storage drawer or kick panel, carefully tip the range forward. The bracket should stop the range within 4 inches. If it does not, the bracket must be reinstalled. If the range is pulled from the wall for any reason, always repeat this procedure to verify the range is properly secured by the anti-tip bracket.
Never completely remove the leveling legs or the range will not be secured to the anti-tip device properly.
If you did not receive an anti-tip bracket with your purchase, call 1.800.626.8774 to receive one at no cost (in Canada, call 1.800.561.3344). For installation instructions of the bracket, visit GEAppliances.com (in Canada, GEAppliances.ca).

Do not store flammable materials in an oven
or near the cooktop.
CAUTION: Items of interest to
children should not be stored in cabinets above a range or on the back of a range— children climbing on the range 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 over the range. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with hot surface units 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 surface units or heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of pot holders.
Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick
up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit 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 extinguisher.
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-type fire extinguisher.
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.
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 range.
Do not touch the surface units, 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 the surface units, areas nearby the surface units or any interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time for cooling first.
Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop,
areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening, surfaces near the opening, crevices around the oven door.
REMEMBER: The inside surface of the oven
may be hot when the door is opened.
Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Keep the hood and grease filters clean
to maintain good venting and to avoid grease fires.
Teach children not to play with the controls
or any other part of the range.
Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot
holders and other linens a safe distance from your range.
Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and
canned food a safe distance from your range.
Always keep combustible wall coverings,
curtains or drapes a safe distance from your range.
WARNING!
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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 operate the oven or cooktop controls if the glass is broken. Food splatter or cleaning solution may penetrate a broken control panel or cooktop and create a risk of electrical shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately should your glass control panel or cooktop become broken.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
Use proper pan size—select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized cookware will 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.
Never leave the surface units unattended at
high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
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.
Always turn the surface units off before
removing cookware.
When preparing flaming foods under the
hood, turn the fan on.
Use care when touching the cooktop.
The glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the controls have been turned off.
Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or
medium high heat settings.
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.
Use little fat for effective shallow or deep
fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when food is added.
If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in frying, stir together before heating, or as fats melt slowly.
Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.
Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The
cooktop can be scratched with items such as sharp instruments, rings or other jewelry, and rivets on clothing.
Large scratches or impacts to glass doors or
cooktops can lead to broken or shattered glass.
Do not operate the radiant surface units if the
glass is broken. Spillovers or cleaning solution may penetrate a broken cooktop and create a risk of electrical shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately should your glass cooktop become broken.
Never use the glass cooktop surface as a
cutting board.
Do not place or store items that can melt or
catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when it is not being used.
Be careful when placing spoons or other stirring
utensils on glass cooktop surface when it is in use. They may become hot and could cause burns.
Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface unit, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
NOTE: We recommend that you avoid wiping any surface unit areas until they have cooled and the indicator light has gone off. Sugar spills are the exception to this. Please see the Cleaning the glass cooktop section.
When the cooktop is cool, use only the
CERAMA BRYTE®Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner and the CERAMA BRYTE Ceramic Cooktop Cleaning Pad to clean the cooktop.
To avoid possible damage to the cooking
surface, do not apply cleaning cream to the glass surface when it is hot.
After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper towel
to remove all cleaning cream residue.
Read and follow all instructions and warnings
on the cleaning cream labels.
Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic
may melt onto the surface and be very difficult to remove.

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 rack in the desired position
while the oven is cool. If racks 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 rack 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.
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.
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.
WARNING!
OVEN
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
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.
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.
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove shiny,
silver-colored oven racks (on some models) and all other cookware.
Gray porcelain-coated oven racks (on some
models) may be cleaned in the oven during the self-clean cycle.
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.
Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s Manual.

About the radiant surface units.
NOTE: Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.
Never cook directly on the glass. Always use cookware.
About the radiant surface units
The radiant cooktop features heating units beneath a smooth glass surface.
Cooktop temperatures increase with the number of surface units that are on. With 3 or 4 units turned on, surface temperatures are high. Always use caution when touching the cooktop.
An indicator light will come on when the surface unit is turned on.
The appropriate HOT SURFACE indicator light will glow when its corresponding radiant element is turned on and will remain on until the surface has cooled below 150°F.
NOTE:
Hot surface indicator light will:
Come on when the surface unit is
turned on.
Stay on even after the unit is turned off.
Glow brightly until the unit has cooled
below 150°F.
NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new cooktop is used for the first time. It is caused by the heating of new parts and insulating materials and will disappear in a short time.
NOTE: On models with light-colored glass cooktops, it is normal for the cooking zones to change color when hot or cooling down. This is temporary and will disappear as the glass cools to room temperature.
It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven or surface on the glass cooktop when the surface is cool.
Even after the surface units are turned off, the glass cooktop retains enough heat to continue cooking. To avoid overcooking, remove pans from the surface units when the food is cooked. Avoid placing anything on the surface unit until it has cooled completely.
Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable
using the cleaning cream or full strength white vinegar.
Use of window cleaner may leave an iridescent
film on the cooktop. The cleaning cream will remove this discoloration.
Don’t store heavy items above the cooktop.
If they drop onto the cooktop, they can cause damage.
Do not use the surface as a cutting board.

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 will leave a residue that will permanently stain the cooktop if not 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:
not recommended
Poor performance. Will scratch the surface.
Stoneware:
not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Cast Iron:
not recommended—unless designed specifically for glass cooktops
Poor conductivity and slow to absorb heat. Will scratch the cooktop surface.
Check pans for flat bottoms by using a straight edge.
Pans with rounded, curved, ridged or warped bottoms are not recommended.

For Best Results
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.
Do not place wet pans
on the glass cooktop.
Do not use woks with support
rings on the glass cooktop.
Use flat-bottomed woks
on the glass cooktop.
NOTE: Follow all cookware manufacturer’s recommendations when using any type of cookware on the ceramic cooktop.

How to Set the Upper and Lower Ovens 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.
Place the meat or fish on a broiler grid in a broiler pan.
Follow suggested rack positions in the Broiling Guide.
Touch the BROIL HI/LO pad once for
HI Broil.
To change to LO Broil, touch the BROIL HI/LO pad again.
Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry or thick cuts of meat thoroughly without over-browning them.
Touch the START pad.
When broiling is finished, touch the
CLEAR/OFF pad.
NOTE: Broil and self-clean settings will not work
if the temperature probe is plugged in.
The size, weight, thickness, starting temperature and your preference of doneness will affect broiling times. This guide is based on meats at refrigerator temperature.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture says “Rare beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to only 140°F means some food poisoning organisms may
survive.” (Source: Safe Food Book. Your Kitchen Guide. USDA Rev. June 1985.)
If your range is connected to 208 volts, rare steaks may be broiled by preheating the broiler and positioning the oven rack one position higher.

To Adjust the Thermostat
Touch the BROIL HI/LO and BAKE pads at the same time until the display shows SF.
Touch the BAKE pad. A two digit number shows in the display.
Touch BAKE again to alternate between increasing and decreasing the oven temperature.
To adjust the upper oven thermostat, touch the upper Oven BAKE pad. To adjust the lower oven thermostat, touch the lower Oven BAKE pad.
The oven temperature can be adjusted up to (+) 35ºF hotter or (-) 35ºF cooler. Touch the number pads the same way you read them. For example, to change the oven temperature 15ºF, touch 1 and 5.
When you have made the adjustment, touch the START pad to go back to the time of day display. Use your oven as you would normally.
Adjust the upper or lower oven thermostat—Do it yourself!
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 will not affect broiling or self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.
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 affects 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.

Because heated air is circulated evenly throughout the oven, foods can be baked with excellent results using multiple racks.
Multi-rack 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-rack baking.
To cook food on more than one rack in convection bake, use CONVECTION BAKE MULTI.
When baking on 3 racks, place one rack in the second (A) position, another rack in the fourth (C) position and the third rack in the sixth (E) position.
For two-rack baking, place one rack in the second (B) rack position. Place the other rack in the fifth (E) rack position.
Multi-Rack Convection Baking
Multi-rack position.
When convection baking with only 1 rack, use CONVECTION BAKE 1 RACK and follow the rack positions recommended in the Using the oven section.
Ideal for baked foods cooked on 1 rack.
1-Rack Convection Baking
The convection oven comes with two convection baking modes: Convection Bake Multi and Convection Bake 1 Rack:
MULTI—for convection cooking on more than one rack. Touch the CONVECTION BAKE MULTI/1 RACK pad and then the 2 pad. See the Multi-Rack Convection Baking section below.
1 RACK—for convection cooking on one rack only. Touch the CONVECTION BAKE MULTI/1 RACK and then the 1 pad. See the 1-Rack Convection Baking section below.
Introduction
Convection Fan Operation
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.
NOTE: To maximize cooking evenness, the fan is designed to rotate in both directions, with a pause in between. This is normal.
The convection 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 convection bake modes, for maximum cooking
evenness, the fan is designed to rotate in both directions, with a pause in between. This is normal.
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 baking can also be used for convection baking, but should not be used at temperatures higher than the temperature recommended by the cookware manufacturer. 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.

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. 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 a 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.

How to Set the Lower and Upper Ovens For Warming
The WARM feature keeps cooked foods hot.
This feature is not designed to reheat cold food.
To use the WARM feature, touch the WARM pad and then the START pad.
To use the WARM feature after Timed Baking or Roasting, follow these steps:
Touch the mode of cooking that you want to use (BAKE, CONVECTION
BAKE MULTI, CONVECTION BAKE 1 RACK or CONVECTION ROAST).
Touch the number pads to set the oven temperature.
Touch the COOK TIME pad.
Touch the number pads to set the desired length of cooking time.
Touch the WARM pad.
Touch the START pad.
To Crisp Stale Items
Place food in low-sided dishes or pans.
For best results, place the food items in
a single layer. Do not stack.
Leave them uncovered.
Check crispness after 20–30 minutes.
Add time as needed.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
Food should be kept hot in its cooking container
or transferred to a heat-safe serving dish.
For moist foods, cover them with an oven-safe
lid or aluminum foil.
Fried or crisp foods do not need to be covered,
but can become too dry if warmed for too long.
Repeated opening of the door allows the hot air
to escape and the food to cool.
Allow extra time for the temperature inside the
oven to stabilize after adding items.
With large loads it may be necessary to cover
some of the cooked food items.
Remove serving spoons, etc., before placing
containers in the oven.
Do not use plastic containers, lids or
plastic wrap.
CAUTION: Plastic containers,
lids or plastic wrap will melt if placed in the oven. Melted plastic may not be removable and is not covered under your warranty.

How to Set the Upper/Lower Oven for Cleaning
The oven doors must be closed and all controls set correctly for the cycle to work properly.
Touch the SELF CLEAN HI/LO pad once for a 5-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 5 hours is recommended for a dirtier oven.
If a time other than 5 hours or 3 hours is needed, use the number 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.
Touch the START pad.
The upper and lower oven doors lock automatically. The cooktop elements are also locked out during self-clean. The display will show the clean time remaining. It will not be possible to
open the oven doors or use the cooktop until the temperature drops below the lock temperature and LOCKED goes off in the control display.
When LOCKED goes off, you will be able to open the doors.
The word LOCKED will flash and the
word door will display if you set the clean cycle and forget to close the oven doors.
To stop a clean cycle, touch the
CLEAR/OFF pad. When LOCKED goes off, indicating the ovens have cooled below the locking temperature, you will be able to open the doors.
You can set a clean cycle in both ovens at the same time; however, they will not self-clean at the same time. The last oven set will automatically delay its start until the end of the first oven’s clean cycle.
When an oven is set to self-clean, both oven doors will lock and the cooktop controls will lock out. The ovens and cooktop cannot be used when an oven is set to self-clean.
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom.
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 any broiler pan, broiler grid, probe, all cookware and any aluminum foil from the oven.
NOTE:
If your oven is equipped with shiny,
silver-colored oven racks, remove them before you begin the self-clean cycle.
If your oven is equipped with gray
porcelain-coated oven racks, they may be left in the oven during the self-clean cycle.
Soil on the front frame of the range and outside the gasket on the door will need to be cleaned by hand. Clean these areas with hot water, soap-filled steel-wool pads or cleansers such as Soft Scrub
®
. Rinse
well with clean water and dry.
Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass material of the oven door gasket cannot withstand abrasion. It is essential for the gasket to remain intact. If you notice it becoming worn or frayed, replace it.
Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the oven bottom.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover 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 range. Move birds to another well­ventilated room.

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 or
another self-clean cycle until the oven
is cool enough for the door to unlock.
While the oven is self-cleaning, you can
touch the TIMER/CLOCK or CLOCK pad
(depending on model) to display the

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.
Cleaning the Upper and Lower Oven Doors
To clean the inside of the doors:
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 door liner can be cleaned with a soap-filled steel wool or plastic pad, hot water and detergent. Rinse well with a vinegar and water solution.
To clean the outside of the doors:
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.
If any stain on the door vent trim is
persistent, use a soft abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results.
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
