Operating Instructions Safety Instructions
To reduce the risk of tipping the range, the range must be secured by a properly installed anti-tip bracket. See installation instructions shipped with the bracket for complete details before attempting to install.
To check if the bracket is installed and engaged properly,
remove the storage drawer or kick panel and look underneath the range to see that the leveling leg is engaged in the bracket. On models without a storage drawer or kick panel,
carefully tip the range forward. The bracket should stop the range within 4 inches. If it does not, the bracket must be reinstalled. If the range is pulled from the wall for any reason, always repeat this procedure to verify the range is properly secured by the anti-tip bracket.
Never completely remove the leveling legs or the range will not be secured to the anti-tip device properly.
If you did not receive an anti-tip bracket with your purchase, call 1.800.626.8774 to receive one at no cost (in Canada, call 1.800.561.3344). For installation instructions of the bracket, visit GEAppliances.com (in Canada, GEAppliances.ca).

COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat 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.
Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments
while using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items stored over the range. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with hot surface units or heating elements and may cause severe burns.
Use only dry pot holders---moist 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.
For your safety, never use your appliance
for warming or heating the room.
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 unit by covering the pan completely with a well­fitting 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 oven can be smothered
completely by closing the door and turning the oven off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
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.
Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop,
areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening, surfaces near the opening, crevices around the oven door and metal trim parts above the door.
REMEMBER:
The inside surface of the oven
may be hot when the door is opened.
Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Keep the hood and grease filters clean
to maintain good venting and to avoid grease fires.
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 storage drawer.

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.
Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s
Manual.
Do not use oven cleaners on self-clean
models. No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating 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.
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove
any broiler pan, grid and other cookware.
Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before
starting the self-cleaning operation.
If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions,
turn the oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have it serviced by a qualified technician.
Take the shelves out of the oven before
you begin the self-clean cycle or they may discolor.

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.
Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury.
Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
Place the oven shelf in the desired position
while the oven is cool. If shelves must be handled when hot, do not let pot holder contact the heating elements.
Pulling out the shelf 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.
When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.
Do not use the oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch on fire.
Do not use the oven for a storage area.
Items stored in an oven can ignite.
Do not leave paper products, cooking
utensils or food in the oven when not in use.

Use proper pan size–select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit 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.
Never leave the surface units unattended at
high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
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.
Always turn the surface units off before
removing cookware.
Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you
do flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
Keep an eye on foods being fried at high
or medium high heat settings.
Foods for frying should be as dry 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.
Use little fat for effective shallow or deep fat
frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when food is added.
If a combination of oils or fats will be used in
frying, stir together before heating, or as fats melt slowly.
Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.

Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The
cooktop can be scratched with items such as sharp instruments, rings or other jewelry and rivets on clothing.
Large scratches or impacts to glass doors
or cooktops can lead to broken or shattered glass.
Do not operate the radiant surface units if
the glass is broken. Spillovers or cleaning solution may penetrate a broken cooktop and create a risk of electrical shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately should your glass cooktop become broken.
Never use the glass cooktop surface as
a cutting board.
Do not place or store items that can melt
or catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when it is not being used.
Be careful when placing spoons or other
stirring utensils on the glass cooktop surface when it is in use. They may become hot and could cause burns.
Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface unit, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
NOTE:
We recommend that you avoid wiping any surface unit areas until they have cooled and the indicator light has gone off. Sugar spills are the exception to this. Please see
Cleaning the glass cooktop
section.
When the cooktop is cool, use only the
recommended cleaning cream to clean the cooktop.
To avoid possible damage to the cooking
surface, do not apply cleaning cream to the glass surface when it is hot.
After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper towel
to remove all cleaning cream residue.
Read and follow all instructions and
warnings on the cleaning cream labels.
Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop
can lead to damage and improper operation of the range.
Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the controls have been turned off.
WARNING!
RADIANT SURFACE UNITS(on some models)
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Clean the cooktop with caution. If a
wet sponge is used to wipe spills on a hot cooktop, be careful to avoid steam burns.
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 unit.
Do not immerse or soak the removable
surface units. Do not put them in a dishwasher.
Be sure the drip pans and the vent duct 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 or anywhere in the oven except as described in this manual. Misuse could result in a shock, fire hazard or damage to the range.

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.
Do not slide cookware across the cooktop because it can scratch the glass—the glass is scratch resistant, not scratch proof.
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.

Selecting types of cookware.
The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.
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.
Check pans for flat bottoms by using a straight edge.
Pans with rounded, curved, ridged or warped bottoms are not recommended.
Wok Cooking
We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed 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.
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.
Use only flat-bottomed woks.
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 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.
Not over 1 inch

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.
For ovens without a preheat indicator light or tone, preheat 10 minutes.
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.
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 shelves, stagger the pans so one is not directly above the other, and leave approximately 11⁄2from the front of the pan to the front of the shelf.
Place the meat or fish on a broiler grid in a broiler pan.
Follow suggested shelf positions in the
Broiling Guide.
If your range is connected to 208 volts, rare steaks may be broiled by preheating the broiler and positioning the oven shelf one position higher.
Use

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.)

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 be retained in memory after a power failure.
Adjust the oven thermostat—Easy to do yourself!
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). 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.

For the first self-clean cycle, we recommend venting your kitchen with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
Remove the shelves, any broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware and any aluminum foil from the oven.
The oven shelves can be self-cleaned, but they will darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide.
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
(on some models) should never be cleaned in the self-cleaning oven.
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.
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.
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.

Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk,
tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface. They may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
Do not spray oven cleaner on the electrical controls and switches because it could cause a short circuit and result in sparking or fire.
Do not allow a film from the cleaner to build up on the temperature sensor–it could cause the oven to heat improperly. (The sensor is located at the top of the oven.) Carefully wipe the sensor clean after each oven cleaning, being careful not to move the sensor as a change in its position could affect how the oven bakes.
Do not spray any oven cleaner on the oven door, handles or any exterior surface of the oven, cabinets or painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage these surfaces.

Care and Cleaning
With proper care, the porcelain enamel finish on the inside of the oven---top, bottom, sides, back and inside of the door--­will stay new-looking for years.
Let the range cool before cleaning. We recommend that you wear rubber gloves when cleaning the range.
Soap and water will normally do the job. Heavy spattering or spillovers may require cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner. Soap-filled scouring pads may also be used.
Household ammonia may make the cleaning job easier. Place 1/2 cup in a shallow glass or pottery container in a cold
oven overnight. The ammonia fumes will help loosen the burned-on grease and food.
If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner. Follow the package directions.

3. Firmly grasp both sides of the door at near the top.
4. Close door until the top of the door is approximately 3” from the range frame.
5. Lift door up and away from the range until both hinge arms are clear of the slots in the range frame.
To Replace the Door:
1. Firmly grasp both sides of the door near the top.
2. With the door at the same angle as the removal position, rest the notch in the bottom of the left hinge arm on the bottom edge of the left hinge slot. The notch in the hinge arm must be fully seated onto the bottom of the slot. Repeat for the right side.
3. Fully open the door. If the door will not fully open, the notches in the bottoms of the hinge arms are not seated correctly onto the bottom edge of the slot. Lift the door off the range and repeat Step 2.
