WARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, electric shock, or toprevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
ANTI-TIPDEVICE
Toreduce the risk of tipping the range, the range must be
secured by aproperly installed anti-tip bracket. See installation instructions shipped with the bracket for complete details
before attempting to install.
Tocheck if the bracket is installed and engaged properly,
• All ranges can tip.
• BURNSor other SERIOUS INJURIEScan result.
• INSTALL and CHECKthe
ANTI-TIP bracket following the instructions supplied
with the bracket.
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# 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.
It you did not receive an anfi-dp bracket with your purchase, call 1.800.626.8774 to receive one at 11o
cost (in Canada, call 1.800.561.3344). For installation instructions of the bracket, x,isit GEAppliances.com
(in Canada, GEAppliances.ca).
IMPORTANTSAFETYNOTICE
The Cafifomia Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to
publish alist 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 orhood.
SAFETYPRECAUTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
Use dais appliance only for its intended

Do not attempt m repair or replace any part of your range unless it is specificMly
recommended in rids malmal. All other
2
servicing should be referred m a qualified mchnician.
Before performing any service, discolmect the range power supply at the household
disnibufion panel by removing the fllse or switching off"the circuit breakeL
Do not leave children alone--<:hildren should not be left alone or unattended in an area
where an appliance is in use. They should
never be allowed m 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 dmnage

A WARNING!
SAFETYPRECAUTIONS
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.
Do not store flammable materials in an oven
or near file cooktop.
Do not let cooking grease or odler flammable

CAUTION:Itemsofinterestto
children should not be stored in cabinets
above a range or on file back of a range-- children climbing on the range to reach items
could be seriously i_ijured.
Never wear loose-fitting or hangdng gamlents
while using the appliance. Be careflfl when
reaching for imms stored over the range. Flammable mamrial could be ignited if
brought in contact with hot surface units or heating elements and may cause severe burns.
Use only diT pot holdeis--moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in
burns flom swam. Do not let pot holdeI_ much hot surface units or heating elements.
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of pot holders.
Do not use wamr on gve_tsefires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the conuols off:

RADIANTSURFACEUNITS
Useproper pan size--select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover thesurface unit heating element.Theuseofundersized cookware will exposea portion of the surface unit todirect contact andmay
result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware tosurface unit will also improve efficiency.
Never lem'e die surface units unattended at high heat settings. Believers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers ttlat may catch on fire. Only certain types of glass, gktssA:eramic,
earfllenware or other glazed containers are suitable for cookmp setMce; ottlers may break because of tile sudden change in mmpetaune.
To minimize tile possibilit T of burns, igmidon of flammable mamrials and spillage, file handle
of a container should be atrned toward tile center of file range without extending over
nearby surface units.
Always turn tile surface units off before
removing cookware. When preparing flaming foods under tile
hood, utrn tile fan on. Use care when touching the cookmp.
Tile _ass surface of tile cookmp will retain heat after tile controls have been turned off:
Keep an eye on foods being flied at high or medium high heat settings.
Foods for flying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisutre on flestl
foods can cause hot fat m bubble tap and over the sides of the pan.
Use little fat for eft>clive shallow or deep fat flTing. Filling the pan me fltll of fat can
cause spillovers when food is added. If a combination of oils or fats will be used in flTing, stir togettler before heating, or
as fats melt slowly.
Ah,vaysheat fat slowl); and watch as it heats.
Use a deep fat tllemlomemr whenever possible m prevent overbearing fat beyond the smoking point.
Avoid scratching tile glass cookmp. Tile
cookmp can be scratched with imms such as sharp insmmlents, rings or otherjewehT,
and rivets on clottling.
Iarge scratches or impacts to glass doors or cookmps can lead m broken or shattered glass.
Do not operate tile radiant surface units if tile glass is broken. Spillovers or cleaning solution
may penetram a broken cookmp and cream a risk of elecuical shock. Contact a qualified technician immediamly should your glass
cookmp become broken. Never use the glass cookmp surface as a
cutting board. Do not place or store imms that can melt or
catch fire on file glass cooktop, even when it is not being used.
Be carefltl when placing spoons or otller stirring umnsils on glass cooktop surfi_cewhen it is in use.
Tile?, may become hot and could cause burns. Clean tile cookmp with caution. If a wet
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot smTace unit, be careflfl m avoid steam burns.
Some cleaners can produce noxious flmles if applied m a hot surface.
NOTE:We recommend that you avoid wiping any surface unit areas undl tile?, have cooled
and file indicator light has gone off: Sugar spills are the exception to this. Please see the
