Safety Instructions

Read all safety instructions before using the product. Failure to follow these instructions may result in fire, electric
shock, serious injury or death.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

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.

For Freestanding Ranges:

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 10.2 cm
(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 1.800.561.3344 receive one at no cost. For installation

Troubleshooting Tips

Consumer Support

Use this appliance 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.

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 transferred to a qualified
technician.

Before performing any service, unplug the range or
disconnect the 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 climb, sit or stand on any
part of the appliance.

CAUTION:Do not store items of interest to children

above a range or on the backguard of a range―children
climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously
injured.

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.

Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.
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. Other surfaces of the
appliance may become hot enough to cause burns.
Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop, areas facing
the cooktop, oven vent opening, surfaces near the opening
and crevices around the oven door.

Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build
up and the container could burst, causing an injury.

Do not use aluminum foil to line the drip pans or anywhere
in the oven, except as described in this manual. Misuse could
result in damage to the range and shock or fire hazard.

Avoid scratching or impacting glass doors, cooktops or
control panels. Doing so may lead to glass breakage. Do not
cook on a product with broken glass. Shock, fire or cuts may
occur.

Cook meat and poultry thoroughly―meat to at least an
internal temperature of 71.1°C (160°F) and poultry to at least
an internal temperature of 82.2°C (180°F). Cooking to these
temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.

Do not store or use flammable materials in an oven or near
the cooktop, including paper, plastic, pot holders, linens, wall
coverings, curtains, drapes and gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids.

Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using
the appliance. These garments may ignite if they contact hot
surfaces, causing severe burns.

Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials
accumulate in or near the range. Grease in the oven or on
the cooktop may ignite.

Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Grease should not be
allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter.

www.GEAppliances.ca

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.

If there is a fire in the oven during baking, smother the fire by
closing the oven door and turning the oven off or by using a
multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean, turn the oven
off and wait for the fire to go out. Do not force the door
open. Introduction of fresh air at self-clean temperatures
may lead to a burst of flame from the oven. Failure to follow
this instruction may result in severe burns.

Instructions

Safety Instructions

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

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

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.

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 a qualified technician
immediately.

Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The cooktop
can 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

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

Use CERAMA BRYTE®ceramic Cooktop Cleaner and
CERAMA BRYTE

®

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 glass
cooktop section for detailed instructions.

Read and follow all instructions and warnings on
the cleaning cream label.

www.GEAppliances.ca

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 bags in the oven,
follow the manufacturer’s directions.

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.

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.

Before operating the self-clean cycle, remove pans,
shiny metal oven racks and other utensils from the
oven. Only gray porcelain-coated oven racks may
be left in the oven. Do not use self-clean to clean
other parts, such as drip 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.

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.

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.

The purpose of the warming drawer is to hold hot
cooked foods at serving temperature. Bacteria will
grow in food while it is below 60°C (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.

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.

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.

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 65.6°C (150°F).

NOTE:

Hot surface indicator light will:

Stay on even after the unit is turned off.
Glow brightly until the unit has cooled

below 65.6°C (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.

and push the rack in.

CAUTION

When you are using a rack in the lowest
position (A), you will need to use caution
when pulling the rack out. We recommend
that you pull the rack out several inches and
then, using two pot holders, pull the rack
out by holding the sides of it. The rack is low
and you could be burned if you place your
hand in the middle of the rack and pull all
the way out. Be very careful not to burn
your hand on the door when using the rack
in the lowest position (A).

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.

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

Convection Roast

The Convection Roast mode is intended for roasting
whole cuts of meat on a single rack. This mode uses
heat from the lower, upper, and rear elements along
with air movement from the convection fan to improve
browning and reduce cooking time. It is not necessary to
convert temperature. Check food earlier than the recipe
suggested time when using this mode or use a meat
probe. To use this mode press the Convection Roast
pad, enter a temperature, and then press Start. It is not
necessary to preheat when using this mode.

Broiling Modes

broiling on upper rack positions as placing f ood closer to
the broil element increases smoking, spattering, and the
possibility of fats igniting. For best performance center
food below the broil heating element.

Try broiling f oods t hat you would normally grill. Adjust
rack positions to adjust the intensity of the heat to the
food. Place foods closer to the broil element when a
seared surface and rare interior is desired. Thicker foods
and foods that need to be cooked through should be
broiled on a rack position farther from the broiler or by
using Broil Lo.

Safety Instructions

Cooking Modes (Cont.)

Broil Hi

The Traditional Broil Hi mode uses intense heat
from the upper element to sear foods. Use Broil Hi
for thinner cuts of meat and/or foods you prefer less
done on the interior. To use this mode press the
Broil pad once and then press Start. It is not
necessary to preheat when using this mode.

Broil Lo

The Traditional Broil Lo mode uses less intense heat
from the upper element to cook food thoroughly while
also prodicing surface browning. Use Broil Lo for
thicker cuts of meat and/or foods that you would like
cooked all the way through. To use this mode press
the Broil pad twice and then press Start. It is not
necessary to preheat when using this mode.

Warm

To use this mode, press the Warm pad then press

Start. Cover foods that need to remain moist and do

not cover foods that should be crisp. Preheating is
not required. Do not use warm to heat cold food other
than crisping crackers, chips or dry cereal. It is also
recommended that food not be kept warm for more
than 2 hours.

Probe (on some models)

Internal food temperature is frequently used as an
indicator of doneness, especially for roasts and poultry.
The Probe mode monitors the internal food temperature
and turns the oven off when the internal food
temperature reaches the programmed temperature.

Minimum temperatures for food safety can be found at
www.IsItDoneYet.gov. The temperature probe can only
be used with Bake, Convection Bake, and Convection
Roast modes.

To use the probe with preheating:

1. Press the desired cook mode (Bake, Convection
Bake, or Convection Roast) pad and enter the
desired cooking temperature.

2. Insert the probe into the food (see Proper Probe
Placement Guidelines in this section).

3. Once the oven is preheated, place the food in the
oven and connect the probe to the probe outlet,
making sure it is fully inserted. Use caution, the oven
walls and probe outlet are hot.

4. Program the probe temperature by pressing the
Probe pad and entering the desired food temperature.
The maximum internal food temperature that you can
set is 200º F.

cleaning, rinse the racks with clean water
and dry with a clean cloth. Gray porcelain­coated oven racks may remain in the oven
during the self-cleaning cycle without being
damaged. The nickel-plated oven racks
may remain in the oven during the
