IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

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. 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.

iiiiiiiiiiii_i;i

Onlycertain typesof glass,glass/ceramic, earthenware or other glazed containers are suitablefor cooktop

service;others may break becauseof the sudden change in temperature.

iiiiiiiiiiii_i;i

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.

iiiiiiiiiiii_i;i

When preparing flaming foods under a hood, turn the fan on.

j-& WARNING l RADIANT 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. 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.

iiiiiiiiiiii_i;i

Use CERAMA BRYTE®ceramic Cooktop Cleaner and

CERAMABRYTE®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.

i-&WARNING i COILCOOKTOPSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS

(some models)

Do not immerse or soak the removable surface units. Do not put them in a dishwasher. Do not self-clean the

surface units in an oven. Doing so may cause them to

fail, presenting a burn or fire hazard. To avoid the possibility of a burn or electric shock, always

be certain that the controls for all surface units are at the

OFFposition and all coils are cool before attempting to lift or remove a coil surface unit.

i Be sure the drip pans are not covered and are in place.

Their absence during cooking could damage range

parts and wiring.

[ 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 rock 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 on

oven con ignite. Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. Foil

can trap heat or or melt, resulting in damage to the product and a shock or fire hazard.

Never place cooking utensils or any other items on the oven floor. There is a heating element beneath the oven

floor. Placing items on the oven floor may cause the

oven to overheat, resulting in damage to the oven and risk of damage or fire to cabinets.

WARNING JSELF-CLEANING OVEN SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS

(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 porcelain-coated oven racks may be left in the oven. Do not use self-clean to clean other

parts, such us drip puns 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.

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 port of the oven.

If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the oven off

and disconnect the power supply. Have it serviced by o qualified technician.

Adjust the oven thermostat--Do it yourself!

You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Useyour new oven for a few weeks to become more familiar with it. Ifyou 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.

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 apower failure.

Thetype of margarine will affect baking performance!

Host recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products such as butter or margarine (80% @t).If you decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher-fat product.

Recipe failure can result if cokes, 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 by weight. Low-fat spreads,onthe other hand,

contain lessfat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor of bakedgoods. Forbest results with your old favorite recipes,use margarine, butter orstick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.

Guideline Tips

The slow cook program uses a complex series of temperature cycling to obtain the best results. For this

reason, it is recommended that the slow cook program be allowed to run without cancelling or restarting.

Restarting the slow cook feature while it is in progress may result in overcooked meat. Forjuicy and tender meat, choose cuts of meat such

as chuck roast or a boneless blade roost. Leaner cuts of meat, such as top round, are drier and may need

additional liquid. Use only glass and ceramic dishes. Metal pots and

pans tend to transfer the heat into the foods too

quickly. Match the quantity of food to the sizepan. Fillthe pan

about 3/4 full for best results.Too large a pot allows the steam to escape,causing foods to dry out. Alwayscover the pot with a lidor aluminum foil.

Awide range of recipes may be used in the slow cook feature. Forbest results some adjustments may need

to be made.Forsmaller sizedrecipes, begin checking at minimum time. Forlarge recipesor when doubling

recipes,foods may be cooked for longer periods of time.

When the slow cook feature completes, the oven will automatically switch to "worm" mode. If additional slow

cook time isdesired,this warm mode may be usedto obtain the extra time.
