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 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, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or
LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by 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.

Also, it may cause the burner to work
improperly. This may cause a carbon
monoxide level above that allowed by current
standards, resulting in a health hazard.

■ 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.

■ Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially

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

■ Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop—

they may melt if left too close to the vent.

■ Keep all plastics away from the surface

■ 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.

■ If range is located near a window, do not

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

■ If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range

Safety Instructions

Safety Instructions

Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is

recommended because it heats quickly
and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in
an aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with
tight-fitting lids when cooking with
minimum amounts of water.

Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets
will give satisfactory results.

Enamelware: Under some conditions,
the enamel of some cookware may
melt. Follow cookware manufacturer’s

recommendations for cooking methods.

Glass: There are two types of glass
cookware—those for oven use only
and those for top-of-range cooking
(saucepans, coffee and teapots).
Glass conducts heat very slowly.

Stove Top Grills

Do not use stove top grills on your sealed
gas burners. If you use the stove top grill
on the sealed gas burner, it will cause
incomplete combustion and can result
in exposure to carbon monoxide levels
above allowable current standards.

Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used
for either surface or oven cooking. It
conducts heat very slowly and cools very
slowly. Check cookware manufacturer’s
directions to be sure it can be used on gas

ranges.

Stainless Steel: This metal alone has
poor heating properties and is usually
combined with copper, aluminum
or other metals for improved heat
distribution. Combination metal skillets
usually work satisfactorily if they are used
with medium heat as the manufacturer
recommends.

Operating Instructions

Operating Instructions Care and Cleaning

Use a flat-bottomed wok.

This can be hazardous to your health.

Wok This Way

We recommend that you use a 14-inch (35.6 cm)
or smaller flat-bottomed wok. Make sure the wok
bottom sits flat on the grate. They are available at
your local retail store.

Only a flat-bottomed wok should be used.
Do not use a flat-bottomed wok on a

support ring. Placing the ring over the
burner or grate may cause the burner
to work improperly, resulting in carbon
monoxide levels above allowable
standards. This could be dangerous to
your health.

In Case of Power Failure

In case of a power failure, you can light

Baking results will be better if baking
pans are centered in the oven as much
as possible. If baking with more than one
pan, place the pans so each has at least 1″
(2.5 cm) to 1

Oven Vent

Your oven is vented at the rear of the
range. Do not block this vent when
cooking in the oven—it is important
that the flow of hot air from the oven
and fresh air to the oven burner be
uninterrupted. Avoid touching the vent

openings or nearby surfaces during oven
or broiler operation — they may
become hot.

Power Outage

CAUTION: Do not make any attempt to operate

the electric ignition oven during an electrical
power failure.

The oven or broiler cannot be lit during a
power failure. Gas will not flow unless the
glow bar is hot.

Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop may
become hot if left too close to the vent.

Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop—
they may melt if left too close to the vent.

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.

Metal items will become very hot if they are
left on the cooktop, and could cause burns.

If the oven is in use when a power failure
occurs, the oven burner shuts off and
cannot be re-lit until power is restored.
This is because the flow of gas is
automatically stopped and will not resume
when power is restored until the glow bar
has reached operating temperature.

Using the probe. www.GEAppliances.ca

(on some models)

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

Safety Instructions

Safety Instructions

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.

Use of probes other than the one
provided with this product may result in
damage to the probe or oven control.

Use the handles of the probe and plug
when inserting and removing them from
the food and outlet.

To avoid damaging your probe, do not use
tongs to pull on the cable when removing it.

To avoid breaking the probe, make sure food
is completely defrosted before inserting.

To prevent possible burns, do not unplug the
probe from the outlet until the oven has
cooled.

After preparing the meat and placing it
on a trivet or a broiler pan grid designed
for broiling, follow these directions for
proper probe placement.

Insert the probe completely into the
meat. It should not touch bone, fat or
gristle.

Plug

Never leave your probe inside the oven during
a self-cleaning cycle.

Do not store the probe in the oven.

For roasts with no bone, insert the probe
into the meatiest part of the roast. For
bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe
into the center of the lowest large muscle.

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

Insert the probe into the meatiest part of
the inner thigh from below and parallel
to the leg of a whole turkey.

Using the convection oven.

Convection Fan

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.

1-Rack Convection Baking

NOTE: The convection fan will cycle on

and off while cooking to best distribute
hot air in the oven.

The convection oven fan shuts off when
the oven door is opened.

Operating Instructions Safety Instructions

Multi-rack position.

Care and Cleaning

Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips

18

The convection fan circulates the heated
air evenly over and around the food.

When convection baking with only 1 rack,
use the rack positions recommended in the Using
the oven section.

Multi-Rack Convection Baking

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 quick breads give
good results with multi-rack baking.

Extension Racks (on some models)

Extension racks have a frame that locks
into the rack supports on both sides.
Once the frame is locked into place,
always pull the rack out, by its upper
front rail, to its full estension stop
position, when placing or removing
cookware. If extension racks are difficult
to extend, lubricate the racks with the
graphite lubricant provided with your
oven. Remove the rack from the oven,
remove debris in the slide tracks with a
paper towel, shake the graphite
lubricant and place 4 small drops on the
two bottom tracks of the left and right
sides. Open and close the rack several
times to distribute the lubricant.
To order additional graphite lubricant,
read the Assistance and Accessories
section at the beginning of this manual.

To Remove An Extension Rack;

1. Make sure the rack is pushed all the
way into the oven.

2. Firmly holding onto both the upper
and lower front rails, pull the rack
toward you, tilt the front end up and
pull the rack out.

Ideal for evenly browned baked foods cooked
on 1 rack and for large foods. Additionally,
some time savings may be noticed.

Good results with cookies, biscuits, muffins,
brownies, cupcakes, cream puffs, sweet rolls,
angel food cake and bread.

When baking on 3 racks, place one
rack in the fourth (D) position, one
in the fifth (E) position and one in
the sixth (F) position. If pans will not
fit, use rack positions B, D and F.

To Replace An Extension Rack;

1. Place the curved end of the rack
onto the rack supports.

2. Tilt the front of rack up and push
the rack in.

If extension racks are difficult to
replace or remove, wipe the oven rack
supports with cooking oil. Do not wipe
oil on the rack slides.

Safety Instructions

Safety Instructions

When baking cookies, you will
get the best results if you use a
flat cookie sheet instead of a
pan with low sides.

Convection Roast

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.

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 (204°C) can also be used.

When you are convection roasting, it is
important that you use a broiler pan and
grid designed for broiling for best
convection roasting results. The pan is
used to catch grease spills and the grid
is used to prevent grease spatters.

Place the oven rack in the position
that centers the food between the top
and bottom of 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.

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.

When Using the Warming Drawer

The warming drawer will keep hot, cooked
foods at serving temperature. Always start
with hot food. Do not use to heat cold food
other than crisping crackers, chips or dry
cereal.

Do not line the warming drawer or pan
with aluminum foil. Foil is an excellent heat
insulator and will trap heat beneath it. This
will upset the performance of the drawer
and could damage the interior finish.

Allow approximately 25 minutes for the
warming drawer to preheat.

NOTES:

The warming drawer cannot be used during a
self-clean cycle.

The warming drawer has three settings: 1, 2
and3. These settings maintain different
temperature levels in the warming drawer.

On some models, if using the oven at the
same time as the warming drawer, only the
oven settings will be displayed.

Do not put liquid or water in the warming
drawer.

For moist foods, cover them with a lid or
aluminum foil.

For crisp foods, leave them uncovered.
Food should be kept hot in its cooking

container or transferred to a heat-safe
serving dish.

CAUTION:

plastic wrap will melt if in direct contact with
the drawer, pan or a hot utensil. Melted plastic
may not be removable and is not covered

Repeated opening of the drawer allows the
hot air to escape and the food to cool.

Allow extra time for the temperature inside
the drawer to stabilize after adding items.

With large loads it may be necessary to

Adjust the 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 F (11–22 degrees C).

How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape

To assure no damage is done to the
finish of the product, the safest way to
remove the adhesive from packaging tape
on new appliances is an application of a
household liquid dishwashing detergent.
Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak.

NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all
parts. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.

Carefully grasp a corner of the protective
shipping film with your fingers and slowly
peel it from the appliance surface. Do
not use any sharp items to remove the
film. Remove all of the film before using
the appliance for the first time.
