GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
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 thoroughly³meat to at least an
internal temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least
an internal temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these
temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.
Do not use aluminum foil to line drip pans or anywhere
in the oven, except as described in this manual. Foil can
trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product
and a shock or fire hazard.
WARNING
KEEP FLAMMABLE MATERIALS AWAY FROM
THE RANGE.
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.
WARNING
IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, TAKE THE FOLLOWING
STEPS TO PREVENT THE FIRE FROM SPREADING:
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.
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials
accumulate in or near the range. Grease in the oven or

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING
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 size³select 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.
WARNING
COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
RADIANT COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(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.
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.
If power is lost to an electric cooktop while a surface unit
is ON, the surface unit will turn back on as soon as power
is restored. In the event of power loss, failure to turn
all surface unit knobs to the OFF position may result in
ignition of items on or near the cooktop, leading to serious
injury or death.
Use CERAMA BRYTE
CERAMA BRYTE
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.

Using the Warming Zone
(on some models)
WARNING
FOOD POISON HAZARD: Bacteria may grow in
food at temperatures below 140°F.
Always start with hot food. Do not use warm
setting to heat cold food.
Do not use warm setting for more than 2
hours.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in
foodborne illness.
The WARMING ZONE, located in the back center
of the glass surface, will keep hot, cooked food
at serving temperature. Always start with hot
food. Do not use to heat cold food. Placing
uncooked or cold food on the WARMING ZONE
could result in foodborne illness.
On some models.
Push and turn the control knob to any desired
setting.
For best results, all foods on the WARMING
ZONE should be covered with a lid or aluminum
foil. When warming pastries or breads, the
cover should be vented to allow moisture to
escape.
Use the lowest setting for breads and pastries.
Use a medium setting for vegetables, sauces,
stews, cream soups, butter and chocolate. Use
the highest setting for soups (liquid) and hot
beverages. These initial suggested settings are
for reference only. The temperature, type and
amount of food, type of pan, and the time held
will affect the quality of the food.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when
removing food from the WARMING ZONE,
since cookware and plates will be hot.
NOTE: The surface warmer will not glow red like
the cooking elements.
Using the radiant surface units. (on some models) GEAppliances.com
About the radiant surface units…
SURFACE
COOKING
Never cook directly on the glass.
Always use cookware.
OFF CENTER
Always place the pan in the center of
the surface unit you are cooking on.
The radiant cooktop features heating units
beneath a smooth glass surface.
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.
The surface unit will cycle on and off to
maintain your selected control setting.
It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven
or surface on the glass surface when the
surface is cool.
Even after the surface units are turned off, the
glass cooktop retains enough heat to continue
cooking. To avoid over-cooking, 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.
DRAGGING
Do not slide cookware across the cooktop
because it can scratch the glass³the glass is
scratch resistant, not scratch proof.
Temperature Limiter
Every radiant surface unit has a temperature
limiter.
The temperature limiter protects the glass
cooktop from getting too hot.
The temperature limiter may cycle the units off
for a time if:
The pan boils dry.
The pan bottom is not flat.
The pan is off center.
There is no pan on the unit.
7
Selecting types of cookware.
The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.
Check pans for flat bottoms by
using a straight edge.
Pans with rounded, curved,
ridged or warped bottoms are
not recommended.
Stainless Steel:
recommended
Aluminum:
heavy weight recommended
Good conductivity. Aluminum residues
sometimes appear as scratches on the
cooktop, but can be removed if cleaned
immediately. Because of its low melting point,
thin-weight aluminum should not be used.
Copper Bottom:
recommended
Copper may leave residues which can appear
as scratches. The residues can be removed, as
long as the cooktop is cleaned immediately.
However, do not let these pots boil dry.
Overheated metal can bond to glass cooktops.
An overheated copper bottom pot will leave a
residue that will permanently stain the cooktop
if not removed immediately.
Porcelain Enamel Covered Cast Iron:
recommended
As long as the cookware is covered completely
with porcelain enamel, this cookware is
recommended. Caution is recommended for
cast-iron cookware that is not completely
covered with smooth porcelain enamel, as it
may scratch the glass-ceramic cooktop.
Glass-ceramic:
usable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Stoneware:
usable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Home Canning Tips:
Be sure the canner is centered over the surface
unit.
Make sure the canner is flat on the bottom.
Use recipes and procedures from reputable
sources. These are available from
manufacturers such as Ball® and Kerr® and the
Department of Agriculture Extension Service.
To prevent burns from steam or heat, use
caution when canning.
The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on coil cooktops.
Surface Cookware Tips
Not over 1 inch
Use medium- or heavy-weight cookware.
Aluminum cookware conducts heat faster than
other metals. Cast-iron and coated cast-iron
cookware are slow to absorb heat, but
1s
generally cook evenly at low to medium heat
settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly if not
combined with other metals.
For best cooking results, pans should be
flat on the bottom. Match the size of the
saucepan to the size of the surface unit.
The pan should not extend over the edge
of the surface unit more than 1 inch.
Wok Cooking
We recommend that you use only a flatbottomed wok. They are available at your local
retail store.
Do not use woks that have support rings. Use
of these types of woks, with or without the ring
in place, can be dangerous.
Use only flat-bottomed woks.
Placing the ring over the surface unit will cause
a buildup of heat that will damage
the porcelain cooktop. Do not try to use such
woks without the ring. You could be seriously
burned if the wok tips over.

Using the oven.
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). If you
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.
Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct
temperature. Preheating is necessary for good
results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and
breads.
On some models, the display will show “PRE”
while preheating. When the oven reaches the
selected temperature, the oven control will beep
and the display will show the oven temperature.
Federal standards require products labeled
“margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by
weight. Low-fat spreads, on the other hand,
contain less fat and more water. The high
moisture content of these spreads affects
the texture and flavor of baked goods. For
best results with your old favorite recipes, use
margarine, butter or stick spreads containing
at least 70% vegetable oil.
For ovens without a preheat indicator light
or tone, preheat 10 minutes.
Baking results will be better if baking
pans are centered in the oven as much as
possible. Pans should not touch each other or
the walls of the oven. If you need to use two
racks, stagger the pans so one is
not directly above the other, and leave
approximately 11ø2s from the front
of the pan to the front of the rack.
If your range is connected
to 208 volts, rare steaks
may be broiled by preheating
the broiler and positioning
the oven rack one position
higher.

Aluminum Foil
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 not covered by the product
warranty
How to Set the Oven for Broiling
On models without an oven temperature knob:
Place the meat or fish on a broiler grid in
a broiler pan.
Follow suggested rack positions in the
Broiling Guide.
Leave the door open to the broil stop
position. The door stays open by itself, yet
the proper temperature is maintained in
the oven.
Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry or
thick cuts of meat thoroughly without overbrowning them.
Touch the BROIL HI/LO pad once for
HI BROIL.
To change to LO Broil, touch the BROIL
HI/LO pad again.
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 an oven
rack with aluminum foil. Keep foil at least
1-1/2” from oven walls to prevent poor heat
circulation.
Touch the START/ON pad.
When broiling is finished, touch the
CLEAR/OFF pad.
On models with an oven temperature knob:
Place the meat or fish on a broiler grid in
a broiler pan.
Follow suggested rack positions in the
Broiling Guide.
Close the oven door.
Turn the Oven Temperature Knob to
BROIL.
When broiling is finished, turn the Oven
Temperature Knob to OFF.

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°F.
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures (on some models). The adjustment will

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.
Preheat prior to use according to these
recommended times:
Setting LO ....................15 minutes
Setting MED ..................25 minutes
Setting HI ....................35 minutes
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 containers or
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 under
your warranty.
Remove serving spoons, etc., before placing
containers in warming drawer.
Rack (on some models)
For use in the warming drawer only.Do not
use in the oven.
Preheat with the rack in place.
Using the rack allows for double stacking of
items.

Using the warming drawer. (on some models)
Temperature Selection Chart
To keep several different foods hot, set the control to the food needing the highest setting. Place
the items needing the highest setting on the bottom of the drawer and items needing less heat on
the rack.
The temperature, type and amount of food,
and the time held will affect the quality of the
food.
Food in heat-safe glass and glass-ceramic
utensils may need a higher control setting as
compared to food in metal utensils.
Repeated opening of the drawer allows hot
air to escape and 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 use a
higher thermostat setting and
cover some of the cooked food items.
Do not use plastic containers or

Use only heat-safe dishes.
Place empty dishes on the rack to raise them
off the bottom of the drawer. Placing dishes
on the warming drawer bottom may cause
them to become extremely
hot and could damage them.
If you want to heat fine china, please check
with the manufacturer of the dishes for their
maximum heat tolerance.
CAUTION: Do not keep food in the
warming drawer for more than two hours.
Check crispness after 45 minutes. Add time
as needed.
You may warm empty serving dishes while
preheating the drawer.
When holding hot, cooked foods and
warming empty serving dishes at the same
time, place the serving dishes on the rack
and the food on the bottom of the drawer.
CAUTION: Dishes will be hot. Use
pot holders or mitts when removing hot dishes.
22
Using the self-cleaning oven. (on some models) GEAppliances.com
Never force the latch handle. Forcing the handle will damage the door lock mechanism.
The oven door must be closed and all controls set correctly for the cycle to work properly.
CAUTION: Never place cooking utensils, baking stones, foil, or any other items on the
oven floor. Even items rated for high temperature may permanently adhere to the oven bottom or
cause heat damage to the oven, flooring, or items in storage drawers.
Before a Clean Cycle
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven
bottom.
For the first self-clean cycle, we recommend
venting your kitchen with an open window or
using a ventilation fan or hood.
Remove the racks, any broiler pan, broiler grid, all
cookware and any aluminum foil from the oven.
The oven racks can be self-cleaned, but they will
darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven
protectors in or near the self-cleaning oven.
A combination of any of these products plus the
high clean cycle temperatures may damage
the porcelain finish of the oven.
Soil on the front frame of the range and outside
the gasket on the door will need to be cleaned by
hand. Clean these areas with hot water, soap-filled
steel-wool pads or cleansers such as Soft Scrub®.
Rinse well with clean water and dry.
Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass material
of the oven door gasket cannot withstand
abrasion. It is essential for the gasket to remain
intact. If you notice it becoming worn or frayed,
replace it.
Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the oven bottom.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place
and the oven light is off.
CAUTION: The grates and drip
pans (if so equipped) should never be cleaned
in the self-cleaning oven.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is
extremely sensitive to the fumes given off
during the self-cleaning cycle of any range.
Move birds to another well ventilated room.

The oven door must be closed and all controls set correctly for the cycle to work properly.
How to Delay the Start of Cleaning
You can set the oven control to delay-start the
oven, clean for a specific length of time and then
turn off automatically.
Make sure the clock shows the correct time
of day.
Follow the directions in the Before a Clean Cycle
section.
Latch the door.
NOTE: Never force the latch. If the oven is too
hot, you will not be able to slide the latch. Allow
the oven to cool.
Touch the SELF CLEAN pad.
Touch the + or – pads to set the Clean
Time.
The Clean Time is preset for 4 hours and 20
minutes. You can change the Clean Time to any
time between 3 and 5 hours, depending on the
amount of soil in your oven. If a different Clean
Time is desired, touch the + or – pads until the
desired Clean Time is displayed.
Touch the START TIME pad.
Change the Start Time by touching the + or –
pads. The start time will appear in the display.
Touch the START/ON pad.
The self-clean cycle will automatically begin at
the time set.
While the oven is self-cleaning, you can touch
the CLOCK pad to display the time of day. To
return to the clean countdown, touch the SELF
CLEAN pad.
The oven shuts off automatically when the
clean cycle is complete, and 0:00 will flash in
the display.
Slide the latch handle to the left as far as it
will go and open the door.

To Stop a Clean Cycle
Touch the CLEAR/OFF pad.
Wait until the oven has cooled below the
locking temperature to unlatch the door. You
will not be able to open the door right away
unless the oven has cooled below the locking
temperature.
After a Clean Cycle
You cannot set the oven for cooking until
the oven is cool enough for the door to be
unlatched.
You may notice some white ash in the oven.
Wipe it up with a damp cloth after the oven
cools.
If white spots remain, remove them with a
soap-filled steel-wool pad and rinse thoroughly
with a vinegar and water mixture.
These deposits are usually a salt residue that
cannot be removed by the clean cycle.
If the oven is not clean after one clean cycle,
repeat the cycle.
You cannot set the oven for cooking until the
oven is cool enough for the door to unlock.
While the oven is self-cleaning, you can touch
the CLOCK pad to display the time of day. To
return to the clean countdown, touch the SELF
CLEAN pad.
If the racks become hard to slide, apply a
small amount of vegetable oil or cooking oil
to a paper towel and wipe the edges of the
oven racks with the paper towel.
