WARNING GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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 alone³children 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

range³children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.

Use only dry pot holders³moist 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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.

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.

WARNING 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.

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.

WARNING COIL COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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

Be sure the drip pans are not covered and are in place. Their absence during cooking could damage range parts and wiring.

Do not use aluminum foil to line the drip pans. Foil can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and a shock or fire hazard.

WARNING OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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

WARNING SELF-CLEANING OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(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 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.

Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. Foil can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and a shock or fire hazard.

WARNING WARMING DRAWER/LOWER OVEN DRAWER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The purpose of the warming drawer is to 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.

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 lower drawer. The 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.

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

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.

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.

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.

About the radiant surface units…

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.

Do not slide cookware across the cooktop

DRAGGING 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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 11ø2sfrom the front

of the pan to the front of the rack.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

GEAppliances.com

The size, weight, thickness, starting temperature

and your preference of doneness will affect broiling times. This guide is based on meats at refrigerator temperature.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture says “Rare beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to only 140°F. means some food poisoning organisms may survive.” (Source: Safe Food Book. Your Kitchen Guide. USDA Rev. June 1985.)

The oven has 5 rack positions.

The ON signal light is located above the control knob and glows when the knob is in the on position. It stays on until the knob is moved to the OFF position.

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:

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.

21

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 plastic wrap.

To Warm Serving Bowls and Plates

To warm serving bowls and plates, set the control on LO.

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.

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)

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

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.

How to Set the Oven for Cleaning (on models with knobs)

Follow the directions in the Before a Clean Cycle section.

Latch the door.

Turn the OVEN TEMP knob to CLEAN.

The Clean Time is 4 hours and 20 minutes. The self clean light will come on and stay on until the self clean cycle is complete.

The oven shuts off automatically when the clean cycle is complete.

After a clean cycle, turn the OVEN TEMP knob to OFF and slide the latch handle to the left as far as it will go.

To cancel self clean cycle, turn

OVEN TEMP knob to off and slide latch to left as far as it will go. Wait until self clean light stops blinking. Use oven as desired.

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.

How to Set the Oven for Cleaning (on some models with press pads)

Follow the directions in the Before a Clean Cycle section.

Latch the door.
