WARNING!

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

TheCalifornia 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

LPfuels. 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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Have the installer show you the location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off if necessary.

Have your range installed and properly grounded by a qualified installer, in accordance with the Instalk_tion Instructions.

Any adjustment and service should be

performed only by qualified gas range installers or service technicians.

Do not attempt to repair or replace any p(]rt of your range unless it is specific(lily recommended in this m(]nu(]l. All other service

should be referred to (] qu(]lified technician.

Plug your range into (] 120-volt grounded outlet only. Do not remove the round

grounding prong from the plug. If in doubt (]bout the grounding of the home electric(]l system, it is your person(]l responsibility and

oblig(]tion to hove on ungrounded outlet replaced with (] properly grounded, 3-prong

outlet in accord(]nce with the Nation(]l Electric(]l Code. Do not use on extension

cord with this (]ppliance.

IMPORTANTSAFETYINFORMATION. READALL INSTRUCTIONSBEFOREUSING.

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path

and out of drafty locations to prevent poor air circulation.

Be sure all packaging materials are removed from the range before operating it to prevent fire or smoke damage should the packaging

material ignite.

Be sure your range is correctly adjusted by a qualified service technician or installer for the type of gas (natural or LP)that is to be

used. Your range can be converted for use with either type of gas. See the Installation

of the range section.

WARNING:Theseadjustments

must be made by a qualified service

technician in accordance with the

manufacturer's instructions and all codes

and requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. Failure to follow these instructions

could result in serious injury or property

damage. The qualified agency performing

this work assumes responsibility for the

conversion. After prolonged use of a range, high floor

temperatures may result and many floor coverings will not withstand this kind of use.

Never install the range over vinyl tile or

linoleum that cannot withstand such type of use. Never install it directly over interior

kitchen carpeting.

Do not leave children alone or unattended where a range is hot or in operation.

They could be seriously burned.

Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the oven door, lower oven drawer, warming

drawer or cooktop. They could damage the

range and even tip it over, causing severe

personal injury.

CAUTION:Items of interest to

children should not be stored in cabinets

above a range or on the backsplash of a

rangeichildren 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 in cabinets over the range. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with flame or hot oven

surfaces and may cause severe burns.

Do not store flammable materials in an oven,

a range drawer or near a cooktop.

Do not store or use combustible materials,

gasoline or other flammable vapors and

liquids in the vicinity of this or any other

appliance.

Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the range.

Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.

Smother a flaming pan on a surface burner

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 upper oven or lower oven drawer can be smothered completely by closing the oven door or drawer and turning the control to off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool

before touching them or leaving them where children can reach them.

Never block the vents (air openings) of the

range. They provide the air inlet and outlet that are necessary for the range to operate

properly with correct combustion. Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the oven door, and at the

bottom of the range under the warming drawer, lower oven drawer or kick panel.

Large scratches or impacts to glass doors can lead to broken or shattered glass.

WARNING: NEVERusethis

appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and

overheating of the oven.

WARNING!

SURFACEBURNERS

Use proper pan s/zelavoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. Toavoid spillovers, make sure cookware is large enough to contain the food properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped and remain cool.

Always use the L/TE position when igniting the top burners and make sure the burners

have ignited. Never leave the surface burners unattended

at high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasg spillovers that may catch on fire.

Adjust the top burner flame size so it does

not extend begond the edge of the cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous.

Use onlg drg pot holders- moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces mag result in burns

from steam. Do not let pot holders come near open flames when lifting cookware. Do not use

a towel or other bulks cloth in place of a pot

holder.

When using glass cookware, make sure it

isdesigned for top-of-range cooking.

To minimize the possibilitg of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage, turn

cookware handles toward the side or back of the range without extending over adjacent

burners.

Carefullg watch foods being fried at a high flame setting.

Alwags heat fat slowlg, and watch as it heats.

Do not leave ang items on the cooktop. The hot air from the vent mag ignite flammable

items and will increase pressure in closed

containers, which mag cause them to burst.

If a combination of oils or fats will be used in frging, stir together before heating or

as fats melt slowlg.

Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent overheating fat begond

the smoking point.

Use the least possible amount of fat for

effective shallow or deep-fat frging. Filling the

pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when

food is added.

Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you

do flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

Do not use a wok on the cooking surface if the wok has a round metal ring that is

placed over the burner grate to support the

wok. This ring acts as a heat trap, which mag damage the burner grate and burner head.

Also, it mag cause the burner to work

improperlg. This mag cause a carbon monoxide level above that allowed bg current

standards, resulting in a health hazard.

Foods for frging should be as drg 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 trg to move a pan of hot fat, especiallg

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

Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop-

theg mag melt if left too close to the vent.

Keep all plastics awag from the surface burners.

To avoid the possibilitg of a burn, alwags 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 SOUsmell gas, turn off the gas to the range

and call a qualified service technician. Never

use an open flame to locate a leak.

Alwags turn the surface burner controls off

before removing cookware. Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can

lead to damage and improper operation of the range.

When disabling Gas/Control Lockout, make sure the surface controls are set to the OFF

position. This will preclude gas flow when the range is turned on.

ELECTRICWARMINGDRAWER

AND LOWEROVENDRAWERConsome models)

The purpose of the warming drawer and the WARM ZONE setting of the lower oven drawer

isto hold hot cooked foods at serving

temperature. Always start with hot food; cold food cannot be heated or cooked in the

warming drawer or the WARM ZONE setting of the lower oven drawer.

Do not use the drawer to dry newspapers. If overheated, they can catch on fire.

Do not leave paper products, plastics, canned

food, or combustible materials in the drawer.

Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in or near your drawer. Do not warm food in the drawer for more

than two hours.

Never place, use or self-clean the lower oven

drawer pan in the upper oven.

Do not touch the heating element or the

interior surface of the drawer. These surfaces may be hot enough to burn. REMEMBER: The inside surface of the drawer may be hot when the drawer is opened.

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 which escapes can cause

burns to hands, face and/or eyes. Do not use aluminum foil to line the lower

oven drawer. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and will trap heat beneath it. This will upset

the performance of the drawer and it could damage the interior finish.

COOK MEATAND POULTRY THOROUGHLY...

Cook meat and poultry thoroughly-meat to ot least on INTERNALtemperature of160°F and poultry to ot least on INTERNALtemperature of l 80°E Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against

foodbome illness.

SELF-CLEANING THE UPPEROVEN

Be sure to wipe off excess spillage before

self-cleaning operation.

Before self-cleaning the oven, remove any broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware, probe

and any aluminum foil.

Never place, use or self-clean the lower oven

drawer pan in the upper oven.

Nickel oven racks (on some models) should be removed from the oven before beginning the

self-clean cycle.

Gray porcelainicoated oven racks (on some

models) may be cleaned in the oven during

the self-clean cycle. Clean only parts listed in this Owner's Manual.

Do not clean the door gasket. The door gasket

isessential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the oven off and disconnect the power

supply. Have it serviced by a qualified technician.

iiiiiiiiiiiii!Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial

oven cleaner or oven liner 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.

GEAppliances.com

UPPEROVEN

Stand away from the range when opening the door of a hot oven. The hot air and steam that escape

can cause burns to hands, face and eyes.

Do not usetheoven fora storagearea. Itemsstoredintheoven can ignite.

Keep theoven freefrom greasebuildup. Placetheoven racksinthedesiredposition

whiletheoven iscool.

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. The lowest

position isnot designed to slide. Do not heat unopened food containers.

Pressure could build up and the container

could burst, causing an injury.

WARNING: NEVERcoverany

slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such

as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon

monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

Do not use aluminum foil anywhere in the

oven except as described in this manual.

Misuse could result in a fire hazard or damage

to the range. When using cooking or roasting bags in the

oven, follow the manufacturer's directions.

Do not use your oven to dry newspapers. If overheated, they can catch fire.

Use only glass cookware that is recommended

for use in gas ovens. Always remove any broiler pan from range

as soon as you finish broiling. Grease left in the pan can catch fire if oven is used without

removing the grease from the broiler pan.

When broiling, if meat istoo close to the flame, the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to prevent

excessive flare-ups.

Make sure any broiler pan is in place correctly

to reduce the possibility of grease fires.

If you should have a grease fire in a broiler pan, press the Clear/Off pad, and keep

the oven door closed to contain fire until

it burns out. For safety and proper cooking performance,

always bake and broil with the oven door closed.

Never place, use or self-clean the lower oven

drawer pan in the upper oven.

Donot usealuminum foil on the bottom of the oven.

Never entirely cover a rack with aluminum foil.Thiswill disturb the heat circulation and

result in poor baking.

Oven Moisture

Asgour ovenheats up, the temperature change of the air in the oven mag cause

water droplets to form on the door glass.

A smaller sheet of foil mag be usedto catch a spillover bg placing it on a lower rock several

Using the probe. (on some models) GEAppliances.com

If your model has a door latch, do not lock the oven door with the latch while cooking with the probe. The latch is used for self-cleaning only.

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

Thetemperatureprobehasa skewer-

like probeat oneendand a plugatthe otherendthat goesintothe outlet in

the oven.

Useof probesother than the one provided with this product may result in damage to

the probe. Usethe handlesof the probeand plug when

inserting and removing them from the food and outlet.

_,Toavoid damaging your probe,do not use

tongs to pull onthe cablewhen removing it.

_,Toavoid breakingthe probe,make surefood

iscompletely defrostedbeforeinserting.

Toprevent possible bums, do not unplug the probe from the outlet until the oven has cooled.

After preparing the meat and placing it on a trivet oron a broiler pan grid, follow these

directions for proper probe placement. Insertthe probe completely into the meat.

It should not touch the bone,fat or gristle. Forroasts with no bone,insert the probe into

the meatiest part of the roast. Forbone-in ham orlamb, insert the probe into the center

of the lowest large muscle.

If gour model has a door latch, do not lock the oven door with the latch during convection cooking. The latch is used for self-cleaning onlg.

The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door isopened. DO NOTleave the door open for long periods of time while using convection cooking.

Ina convectionoven,afan circulates hotair over,underandaroundthe food.

This circulatinghot air is evenly

distributedthroughoutthe ovencavity. Asa result,foodsareevenlycookedand

Tohelp Uou understand the difference between convection bake and roast and

traditional bakeand roast, here are some general guidelines.

Convection Bake

Preheat the oven. See the Using the oven- Preheating and Pan Placement section.

Ideal for foods cooked on multiple racks. Good for large quantities ofbaked foods.

, Good results with cookies,biscuits,

brownies, cupcakes,cream puffs, sweet rolls, angel foodcake and bread.

Theconvection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food.

Convection Roast

Good for large tender cutsof meat, uncovered.

Theconvection fan circulates the heated air evenlu over and around the food. Heat and

poultru arebrowned on allsidesas iftheu were cooked on arotisserie.Heatedairwill

be circulated over,under and around the food being roasted.Theheated air sealsin

juices quicklu for a moist and tender product

while, at the same time, creating a rich, golden-brown exterior.

Roastsor poultrg shouldbe cooked on rack

position (A).

When you are convection roasting,it is

important that you usea broiler pan andgrid

for bestconvection roasting results.The pan

isused to catch grease spillsand the grid is usedto prevent grease spatters.
