In WARNING 1IN THEEVENTOFA FIRE,TAKETHEFOLLOWINGSTEPS
TOPREVENTTHE FIREFROM SPREADING:
, Do not usewater 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 isa 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 isa fire in the oven during self-clean, turn the oven
off and wait for the fire to go out. Do not force the door
og.p__.Introduction of flesh 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.
iA WARNING j COOKTOPSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS
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.
Only certain types of glass,glass/ceramic, earthenware
or other glazedcontainers are suitable for cooktop
service;othersmay break because of the sudden
change in temperature.
To minimizethe possibilityof burns,ignition of
flammable materials and spillage,the handle of a
container should beturned toward the center of the
range without extending over nearby surface units.
When preparing flaming foods under a hood, turn the
fan on.
[A WARNING JGLASS COOKTOP SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS
(some models)
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.
iiiiiiiiiiii_i;i
UseCERAHABRYTE®ceramic CooktopCleanerand
CERAHABRYTE®Cleaning Padtoclean the cooktop.
Wait until the cooktop cools and the indicator light
goes out before cleaning.Awet sponge or cloth on a
hot surface can cause steam burns.Somecleaners
can produce noxiousfumes ifapplied to a hot surface.
NOTE:Sugarspillsare an exception.They should be
scraped off while still hotusing an oven mitt and a

cleaning cream label.
[A WARNING [OVEN SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS
GEAppliances.com
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.
[,&WARNING
(Some models)
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 or black porcelain-coated oven racks
and drip pans may be left in the oven. Do not use
self-clean to clean other parts, such as shiny drip pans
or bowls.
Before operating the self-clean cycle, wipe grease and
food soilsfrom the oven. Excessive amount of grease
may ignite, leading to smoke damage to your home.
] SELF-CLEANING OVEN SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS
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.
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.
WARNING JWARIVllNGDRAWER/LOWEROVENDRAWERSAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS(somemode sl
The purpose of the warming drawer isto hold hot
cooked foods at serving temperature. Bacteria will grow
in food while it is below 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.

foil will trap heat below, and upset the performance
of the oven. Foil can melt and permanently damage
the drawer bottom. Damage from improper use of
aluminum foil is not covered by the product warranty.
Using the surface units,
How Induction Surface Cooking Works
Induction coils under the glass cooking surface produce
a magnetic field that generates heat in ferrous metals
that are in close proximity. The glass cooking surface is
not heated directly since it is not a ferrous metal, but the
glass may eventually become hot from the pan. Induction
surface coils are more efficient and will heat much faster
than conventional electric and gas cooking surface cooking
products.
CAUTION:
. The induction cooking elements may appear to be coolwhile
turned ONand after they have been turned OFF.Theglass
surface may be HOTfrom residualheat transferredfrom the
cookwareandburnsmay occur.
. DONOTTOUCHHOTCOOKWAREor PANSdirectly with hands.
Always use mitts or pot holdersto protect hands from burns.
. DONOTSLIDEcookware acrossthe cooktop surface. Doing
somay permanently damage the appearance of the ceramic
cooktop.
[A WARNING i IRE HAZARD: Never leave the range unattended with the cooktop on medium or highsettings. Keep flammable items away from the cooktop. Turn off all controls when
done cooking. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire, serious injury or
death.

cooking element
GEAppliances.com
Pan Size and Shape
The induction coils require a minimum pan size
in order for the element to turn on. In order for
the induction coil to correctly determine if the
pan islargeenough, it isimportant that the pan
be centered within the circular graphics marked
on the gloss cooking surface. The minimum
pan size that will work for each induction coil
is shown on the left. Pansthat are not ferrous
or are too small will not allow the induction coil
to turn on, and the power leveldisplay for that
coil location will flash for 30 seconds and then
turn off. If a pan is removed from the induction
coilfor morethon 30 seconds,the power will be
shut off.Square pans will work, although round
pans that motch the induction coil sizes work
best. Cookwore larger than the cooktop gloss
graphics will work. For best results,match the
pan sizewith the nearest-size graphics on the
glosscooking surface.
Cookware "Noise"
A low humming noise is normal when using
induction coils, especially on higher power
settings. Heavy enamel cost-iron pots produce
less noise than lightweight steel pans. The
amount of food content in the pans can also
affect noise level. Pans that completely cover
the graphics onthe glosswill produce lessnoise.
Water trapped under pans con boil, cousing
the cookware to vibrote or slide on the gloss
surface. Totry to reduce the noise, move pans
slightlyand/or change power levels.
Power Sharing
Forpower levelH(high),if a surface unit is on for
an extended period of time or if multiplesurface
units are on,there may be a slight reduction in
power to the surface unit.

Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms.
The foil will trap heat below and upset the
performance of the oven. Foil can melt
and permanently damage the oven bottom.
Damage from improper use of aluminum foil is

Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a
sheet on a lower rack, several inches below
the food. Do not use more foil than necessary
and never entirely cover on oven rack with
aluminum foil. Keep foil at least 1-1/2" from
ovenwalls to prevent poor heat circulation.

Adjust the oven thermostat--Do it yourself! GEApplionces.com
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 give readings that 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).
Ifyou 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.
Federalstandards require products labeled "margarine" to contain at least 80% fat byweight. Low-fat spreads,onthe other hand,
contain lessfat and more water. The high moisture content ofthese spreads affects the texture and flavor of baked goods. For best
resultswith your old favorite recipes, usemargarine, butter orstickspreadscontaining at least 70% vegetable oil.

Cookware for Convection Cooking
Beforeusingyour convection oven, check to see
if your cookware leaves room for air circulation
in the oven. Ifyou 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 usein 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.
GEAppliances.com
Metal and Glass
Anytype of cookware will work inyour 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.
Glassor ceramic pans cookmore 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.
Use pans with low or no sides when baking
in convection cook mode. Hot air cannot
circulate well around food in a pan with high
sides.When baking cookies, you will get the
best results if you use a flat cookie sheet
instead of a pan with low sides.

Using the probe.
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 alonenessyou want.
NOTE:Failure to fully insert the probe into the
meat may result in poor cooking performance
because the probe will sensethe oven air vs.the
food temperature.
Never leaveyour probe inside the oven during
a self-cleaning or broil cycle.
Do not store the probe in the oven.
For roasts with no bone, insert the probe into
the thickest part of the roast. For bone-in ham
or lamb, insert the probe into the center of the
lowest large muscle.
Insertthe probe into the center of dishes such as
meat loaf or casseroles.
Insert the probe into the thickest part of the
breast of a whole turkey or chicken. Not all
locations within the meat cook at the same
rate. It is a good idea to check the temperature
at other locations with u meat thermometer
once cooking has stopped to ensure safe
temperatures have been reached in all areas
of the meat. For example, when cooking a
chicken or turkey place the probe in the breast
but also check the temperature in the leg and
thigh with u meat thermometer when the probe
temperature has been reached.
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.
[A CAUTION
To prevent burns, do not unplug the probe from
the oven outlet until the oven has cooled.
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.
Pli
/
and remove label
To avoid damaging your probe, do not use
tongs to pull on the cablewhen removing it.
Toavoid breaking the probe,makesurefood is
completely defrosted before inserting.
After preparing the meat and placing it on a
trivet or a broiler pan grid,follow these directions
for proper probe placement.
Insert the probe completely into the meat. It NOTE:Self-cleanandBroilsettings will not work if
should not touch bone, fat or gristle, the temperature probe is plugged in.

How to Set the Oven For Worming
Guideline Tips
The slow cook program uses o complex series of
temperature cycling to obtain the best results. For this
reason,it isrecommendedthat the slow cookprogram be
allowed to run without cancellingor restarting. Restarting
the slaw cook feature while it is in progress may result in
overcookedmeat.
For juicy and tender meat, choose cuts of meat such
as chuck roost or o boneless blade most. Leaner cuts
of meat, such as top round, ore drier and may need
additional liquid.
Useonly gloss and ceramic dishes.Metal pats and pans
tend to transfer the heat into the foods too quickly.
Match the quantity of food to the size pan. Fill the pan
about 3/4 futl for best results. Toolarge o pot allows the
steam to escape,causingfoods to dry out.
Always cover the pot with o lid or aluminum fail.
A wide range of recipesmay be used in the slaw caak
feature. For best results some adjustments may need
to be mode. For smaller sized recipes, begin checking
at minimum time. For large recipes or when doubling
recipes,foods may be cooked for longer periods oftime.
When the stow cook feature completes, the oven will
automatically switch to "warm" made. If additional stow
caak time is desired, this worm mode may be used to
obtain the extra time.
