IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before using this appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

• The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
• The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off a very small amount of carbon monoxide during the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized further by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

• Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual.
• Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician 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 guide. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
• Before performing any service, DISCONNECT THE RANGE POWER SUPPLY AT THE HOUSEHOLD DISTRIBUTION PANEL BY REMOVING THE FUSE OR SWITCHING OFF THE CIRCUIT BREAKER.
• Do not leave children alone—children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where an appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the door, storage drawer or cooktop. They could damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe personal injury.
• Keep the hood and grease filters clean to maintain good venting and to avoid grease fires.

▲WARNING—

All ranges can tip and injury could result. To prevent accidental tipping of the range, attach it to the floor by installing the Anti-Tip device supplied.

To check if the device is installed and engaged properly, remove the storage drawer and inspect the rear leveling legs. Make sure they fit securely under the ends of the bracket.

Two black-and-white pictograms showing a person pushing a large block and another falling (no text or symbols)

If you pull the range out from the wall for any reason, make sure the device is properly engaged when you push the range back against the wall. If it is not, there is a possible risk of the range tipping over and causing injury if you or a child stand, sit or lean on an open door.

Please refer to the Anti-Tip device information in this guide. Failure to take this precaution could result in tipping of the range and injury.

• CAUTION: ITEMS OF INTEREST TO CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE STORED IN CABINETS ABOVE A RANGE OR ON THE BACKSPLASH OF A RANGE—CHILDREN CLIMBING ON THE RANGE TO REACH ITEMS COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED.
• 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 holders touch the hot surface units or using elements. Do not use a towel or other dish.

• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the range.
• DO NOT STORE OR USE COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, GASOLINE OR OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS IN THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER APPLIANCE.

(continued next page)

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(continued)

• For your safety, never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.
• Do not store flammable materials in an oven or near the cooktop.

- Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan.

Turn the surface units and the

heating elements 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.

- 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, surface units, areas nearby 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 and crevices around the oven door.

Remember: The inside surface of the oven may be hot when the door is opened.

- 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.

Oven

• Stand away from the range when opening the oven door. The 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 duct unobstructed.
• Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

- Place the oven shelf in desired position while the oven is cool. If shelves must be handled when hot, do not let pot holder contact the heating elements in the oven.

• Pulling out the shelf to the shelf stop 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 your oven to dry newspapers. If overheated, they can catch fire.
• Do not use 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.

Self-Cleaning Oven (right oven—model JCP67)

• 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. Residue from oven cleaners will damage the inside of the oven when the self-clean cycle is used.
• Clean only parts listed in this Owner's Manual.
• Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broiler pan 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.

Surface Cooking Units

- 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 surface units unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

• 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 guide. Misuse could result in a shock, fire hazard or damage to the range.
• 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.
• 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. Do not self-clean the surface units in the oven.

• 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.

PREPARATION

Installing the Range

Your range, like many other household items, is heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting. Be careful when moving the range on this type of flooring. It should be installed on a 1/4"thick sheet of plywood (or similar material) as follows:

When the floor covering ends at the front of the range, the area that the range will rest on should be built up with plywood to the same level or higher than the floor covering. This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning or servicing.

Leveling the Range

Leveling screws may be located on each corner of the base. By removing the bottom drawer you can level the range to an uneven floor by adjusting the leveling legs.

To remove the drawer, pull the drawer out all the way, tilt up the front and remove it. To replace, insert the glides at the back of the drawer beyond the stop on the range glides. Lift the drawer if necessary to insert it easily. Let the front of the drawer down, then push it in to close.

SURFACE CONTROLS

At both OFF and HI the control “clicks” into position. You may hear slight “clicking” sounds during cooking, indicating the control is keeping the unit at the heat level or power level you set.

Switching heats to higher settings always shows a quicker change than switching to a lower setting.

How to Set the Controls

Push the knob in and turn in either direction to the desired heat setting.

Hand holding a small electronic component with directional arrows indicating movement (no text or symbols)

The control must be pushed in to set only from the OFF position. When the control is in any position other than OFF, it may be turned without pushing it in.

Be sure you turn control to OFF when you finish cooking.

The surface unit indicator light will glow when ANY heat on any surface unit is on.

Cooking Guide for Using Heat Settings

HI—Quick start for cooking; bring water to a boil.

Medium High—(Setting halfway between HI and MED.) Maintains a fast boil on large amounts of food.

MED—Sauté and brown; maintain slow boil on large amount of food.

Medium Low—(Setting halfway between MED and LO.) Cook after starting at HI; cooks with little water in a covered pan.

LO—Steam rice, cereal; maintain serving temperature of foods. Slow cooking and simmering. At LO settings, melt chocolate, butter on a small surface unit.

NOTE: At HI and Medium High, never leave food unattended. Boilovers cause smoking; greasy spillovers may catch fire.

SURFACE COOKWARE TIPS

ge.com

Cookware

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 Over 1 inch

Deep Fat Frying

Do not overfill cookware with fat that may spill over when adding food. Frosty foods bubble vigorously. Watch food frying at high temperatures. Keep the range and hood clean from grease.

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 build-up 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 tipped over.

USING YOUR OVEN

ge.com

Before Using Your Oven

1. Look at the controls. Be sure you understand how to set them properly.

2. Check the oven interior. Look at the shelves. Take a practice run at removing and replacing them properly to give sure, sturdy support.

3. Read over the information and tips that follow.

4. Keep this guide handy so you can refer to it, especially during the first weeks of getting acquainted with your range.

Oven Light

The light comes on automatically when the right oven door is opened. Use the switch on the control panel to turn the light on and off when the door is closed.

OVEN LIGHT

Oven Interior Shelves

The shelves, in single oven models and the right oven in double oven models, are designed with stop-locks so that when placed correctly on the shelf supports, the shelf will stop before coming completely out from the oven, and will not tilt when you are removing food from them or when placing food on them.

To remove a shelf from the oven, pull the shelf forward until it stops. Lift the front and slide it out. Be certain that the shelf is cool before touching it.

To replace the shelf in the oven, fit the shelf onto the guides. Tilt the front up and slide into place.

On double oven models, the left oven comes with a removable shelf for easy cleaning.

To remove, pull the shelf out and up in one smooth motion. Be certain that the shelf is cool before touching it.

To replace, tilt the front of the shelf up and slide it into place.

Oven Interior Shelves

In single oven models and the right oven in double oven models, the oven has four shelf supports—1 (bottom), 2, 3 and 4 (top). Shelf positions for cooking are suggested in the Baking, Roasting and Broiling sections.

On double oven models, the left oven also has four shelf supports—1 (bottom), 2, 3 and 4 (top). See the Baking, Roasting and Broiling sections for the suggested shelf positions.

Interior view of an oven with heat exchanger and numbered compartments (1-4), no text or symbols present.

BAKING

NOTE: When the oven is hot, the top and outside surfaces of the range get hot too.

Your oven temperature is controlled using the latest technology in oven control systems. It is recommended that you operate your new oven for a number of weeks to become familiar with its performance.

On double oven models, if you think an adjustment is necessary, see the Adjust the Oven Thermostat section. It gives easy Do It Yourself instructions on how to adjust the thermostat of the right oven.

How to Set Your Oven for Baking

NOTE: On double oven models make sure you set the control for the oven you wish to use.

To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the correct position before you turn the oven on.

1. Press the BAKE pad.

2. Press the INCREASE or DECREASE pad to set the oven temperature.

To change the oven temperature during the Bake cycle, press the BAKE pad and set the new temperature.

The oven will start automatically. When the oven starts to heat, the changing temperature will be in the display.

1. Press the CLEAR/OFF pad when baking is finished.

Oven Shelves

Arrange the oven shelf or shelves in the desired locations while the oven is cool. The correct shelf position depends on the kind of food and the browning desired.

As a general rule, place most foods in the middle of the oven, on either shelf position 2 or 3. See the chart for suggested shelf positions. Two will be used more than 3.

Brownies 2 or 3
Layer cakes 2 or 3
Bundt or pound cakes 1 or 2
Pies or pie shells 2 or 3
Frozen pies 1 (on cookie sheet)
Casseroles 2 or 3
Roasting 1 or 2

Preheating

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheat means bringing the oven up to the specified temperature before putting the food in the oven. To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature—selecting a higher temperature does not shorten preheat time.

Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. For most casseroles and roasts, preheating is not necessary. After the oven is preheated, place the food in the oven as quickly as possible to prevent heat from escaping.

Pan Placement

For even cooking and proper browning, there must be enough room for air circulation in the oven. Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered as much as possible rather than being placed to the front or to the back of the oven.

Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the oven. Allow 1- to 1 12 -inch space between pans as well as from the back of the oven, the door and the sides. If you use two shelves, stagger the pans so one is not directly above the other.

Baking Guides

When using prepared baking mixes, follow package recipe or instructions for the best baking results.

Baking Pans

Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish on the pan determines the amount of browning that will occur.

- Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat resulting in a browner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies.

- Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect heat, resulting in a lighter, more delicate browning. Cakes and cookies require this type of pan.

- Glass baking dishes also absorb heat. When baking in glass baking dishes, the temperature may need to be reduced by 25^ .

- If you are using dark non-stick pans, you may find that you need to reduce the oven temperature 25^ . to prevent over-browning.

Cookies

When baking cookies, flat cookie sheets (without sides) produce better-looking cookies. Cookies baked in a jelly roll pan (short sides all around) may have darker edges and pale or light browning may occur.

Do not use a cookie sheet so large that it touches the walls or the door of the oven. Never entirely cover a shelf with a large cookie sheet.

For best results, use only one cookie sheet in the oven at a time.

(continued next page)

BAKING (continued)

Aluminum Foil

Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking. A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch a spillover by placing it on a lower shelf several inches below the food.

Line drawing of two pie dishes on a grater rack with a small dish inside (no text or symbols)

Pies Cakes

For best results, bake pies in dark, rough or dull pans to produce a browner, crisper crust. Frozen pies in foil pans should be placed on an aluminum cookie sheet for baking since the shiny foil pan reflects heat away from the pie crust; the cookie sheet helps retain it.

When baking cakes, warped or bent pans will cause uneven baking results and poorly shaped products. A cake baked in a pan larger than the recipe recommends will usually be crisper, thinner and drier than it should be. If baked in a pan smaller than recommended, it may be undercooked and batter may overflow. Check the recipe to make sure the pan size used is the one recommended.

Don't Peek

Set the timer for the estimated cooking time and do not open the door to look at your food. Most recipes provide minimum and maximum baking times such as “bake 30-40 minutes.”

DO NOT open the door to check until the minimum time. Opening the oven door frequently during cooking allows heat to escape and makes baking times longer. Your baking results may also be affected.

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 affect 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.

How to Time Bake

On double oven models, the oven control allows you to turn the right side oven on or off automatically at specific times that you set. Examples of Immediate Start (oven turns on now and you set it to turn off automatically) and Delay Start and Stop (setting the oven to turn on automatically at a later time and turn off at a preset Stop Time) will be described.

NOTE: Before beginning, make sure the oven clock shows the correct time of day.

To set the clock:

1. Press the CLOCK pad.
2. Press the INCREASE or DECREASE pad to set the time of day.
3. Press the CLEAR/OFF pad to start, or the clock will automatically start after several seconds.

How to Set Immediate Start and Automatic Stop

To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the correct position before you turn the oven on.

The oven will turn on immediately and cook for a selected length of time. At the end of cook time the oven will turn off automatically.

1. Press the BAKE TIME pad.

1. Press the INCREASE and DECREASE pads until the desired length of baking time appears in the display.

To change the cook time after baking has started, press the BAKE TIME pad, then press the INCREASE or DECREASE pads.

1. Press the BAKE pad.
2. Using the INCREASE or DECREASE pad, enter the desired temperature.

To change the oven temperature after baking has started, press the BAKE pad and the INCREASE or DECREASE pads to set the new desired temperature.

1. The oven will turn on. The time of day will show in the display. To view the cook time remaining, press the BAKE TIME pad.

The oven will continue to cook for the programmed amount of time, then shut off automatically. At the end of baking, the display will show “End” and the control will beep 3 times every 60 seconds until the CLEAR/OFF pad is pressed.

1. Remove the food from the oven. Remember, foods that are left in the oven continue cooking after the controls are off.

NOTE:

• The low temperature zone of this range (between WARM and 200°F.) is available to keep hot cooked foods warm. Food kept in the oven longer than two hours at these low temperatures may spoil.
• Foods that spoil easily, such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, poultry and pork, should not be allowed to sit for more than one hour before or after cooking. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria. Be sure that the oven light is off because heat from the bulb will speed harmful bacteria growth.

• Foods that spoil easily, such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, poultry and pork, should not be allowed to sit for more than one hour before or after cooking. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria. Be sure that the oven light is off because heat from the bulb will speed harmful bacteria growth.

ADJUST THE OVEN THERMOSTAT— DO IT YOURSELF!

ge.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. If you think it is too hot, adjust the thermostat to make it cooler. If you think it is too cool, adjust the thermostat to make it hotter.

We do not recommend the use of thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your new oven. These thermometers may vary 20–40 degrees.

NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.

To Adjust the Thermostat (right oven only on model JCP67)

1. Press the BAKE pad.

2. Set the oven temperature at 550°F.

3. Immediately, before "ON" appears, press and hold the BAKE pad for about 5 seconds. The time display will change to the oven adjustment display.

4. The oven temperature can be adjusted up to (+) 35^ F. hotter or (−) 35^ F. cooler. Use the INCREASE or DECREASE pad to select the desired change in the display.

5. When you have made the adjustment, press the CLEAR/OFF pad to go back to the time of day display. Use your oven as you would normally.

To Adjust the Thermostat (left oven only on model JCP67)

1. Pull the oven knob off the shaft, look at the back of the knob and note the current settings before making any adjustments.

2. Loosen both screws on the back of the knob.

3. To increase the oven temperature, move the pointer toward the words "MAKE HOTTER".

To decrease the oven temperature, move the pointer toward the words "MAKE COOLER".

Each notch changes the temperature by 10^ F.

ROASTING

Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven. Roasting temperatures, which should be low and steady, keep spattering to a minimum.

Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats. Therefore, oven controls are set for baking or timed baking (on some models). (You may hear a slight clicking sound, indicating the oven is working properly.)

You may wish to use Timed Baking (on some models) to turn the oven on and off automatically.

Remember that food will continue to cook in the hot oven and therefore should be removed when the desired internal temperature has been reached.

Place the shelf in position 1 or 2. No preheating is necessary.

Check the weight of the meat. Place the meat fat-side-up, or poultry breast-side-up, on roasting rack in a shallow pan. The melting fat will baste the meat.

Select a pan as close to the size of the meat as possible. (The broiler pan with grid is a good pan for this.) Line the broiler pan with aluminum foil when using the pan for marinating, cooking with fruits, cooking heavily cured meats or basting food during cooking. Avoid spilling these materials inside the oven or inside the oven door.

Most meats continue to cook slightly while standing, after being removed from the oven. Standing time recommended for roasts is 10 to 20 minutes. This allows roasts to firm up and makes them easier to carve.

Internal temperature will rise about 5^ to 10^ F during standing. To compensate for this temperature increase, remove the roast from the oven before it reaches the temperature you want.

Small poultry may be cooked at 375^ F for best browning.

How to Set Your Oven for Roasting

NOTE: On double oven models make sure you set the control for the oven you wish to use.

1. Press the BAKE pad.

2. Press the INCREASE or DECREASE pad to set the oven temperature.

To change the oven temperature during the roast cycle, press the BAKE pad and set the new temperature.

The oven will start automatically. When the oven starts to heat, the changing temperature will be in the display.

1. Press the CLEAR/OFF pad when roasting is finished.

NOTE: On double oven models, if you use the broiler pan, be sure to use the pan designated for use in the oven you are using.

Frozen Roasts

Frozen roasts of beef, pork, lamb, etc., can be started without thawing, but allow 10 to 25 minutes per pound additional time (10 minutes per pound for roasts under 5 pounds, more time for larger roasts).

Thaw most frozen poultry before roasting to insure even doneness. Some commercial frozen poultry can be cooked successfully without thawing. Follow the directions given on the package label.

BROILING

ge.com

Broiling is cooking food by intense radiant heat from the upper element in the oven. Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be broiled. Follow the directions in this guide to keep spattering and smoking to a minimum.

If the meat has fat or gristle around the edge, cut vertical slashes through both about 2 inches apart. If desired, the fat may be trimmed, leaving a layer about 1/8" thick.

Place the meat on the broiler grid in the broiler pan. Always use the grid so the fat drips into the broiler pan; otherwise the juices may become hot enough to catch on fire.

Place the shelf in position 3 for most broiling.

How to Set Your Oven For Broiling(model JCS57 and right oven only of double oven model JCP67)

NOTE: On double oven models make sure you set the control for the oven you wish to use.

1. Place the meat or fish on the broiler grid in the broiler pan.

2. Follow suggested shelf positions in the Broiling Guide.

3. Leave the door open to the broil stop position. The door stays open by itself, yet the proper temperature is maintained in the oven.

1. Turn the left OVEN CONTROL knob to BROIL. Preheat 10 minutes before broiling in the left oven.

2. Turn the food only once during broiling.

3. When finished broiling, turn the left OVEN CONTROL knob to OFF. Serve the food immediately, leaving the broiler pan and grid outside the oven to cool during meal for easiest cleaning.

BROILING GUIDE

• If desired, marinate meats or chicken before broiling, or brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to 10 minutes only.

• On double oven models, preheat the left oven 10 minutes before broiling. You do not need to preheat single oven broilers or the right oven broiler on double oven models.

• When arranging food on the pan, do not let fatty edges hang over the sides. These could soil the oven bottom.

• Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning the oven shelf at next lowest shelf position and increasing cooking time given in this guide 1 12 times per side.

The times in this guide are approximate. They may vary depending on the weight and shape of the food.

Food Thickness	Oven Oven 1st Side	Shelf Position		Time in Minutes Time in Left Right Oven Left		Minutes Oven

Questions and Answers

Q. When broiling, is it necessary to always use a grid in the pan?

A. Yes. Using the grid suspends the meat over the pan. As the meat cooks, the juices fall into the pan, thus keeping meat drier. Juices are protected by the grid and stay cooler, thus preventing excessive spatter and smoking.

Q. Should I salt the meat before broiling?

A. No. Salt draws out the juices and allows them to evaporate. Always salt after cooking. Turn meat with tongs; piercing meat with a fork allows juices to escape. When broiling poultry or fish, brush each side often with butter.

Q. Why are my meats not turning out as brown as they should?

A. In some areas, the power (voltage) to the oven may be low. In these cases, preheat for 10 minutes before placing the broiler pan with food in the oven. Check to see if you are using the recommended shelf position. Broil for the longest period of time indicated in the Broiling Guide. Turn food only once during broiling.

Before a Clean Cycle

The range must be completely cool in order to set the self-clean cycle.

1. Remove the broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware and any aluminum foil from the oven—they can't withstand the high cleaning temperatures.

NOTE: The oven shelves may be cleaned in the self-cleaning oven. However, they will darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide. Wipe the shelf supports with cooking oil after self-cleaning to make shelves slide more easily.

1. Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom. If you use soap, rinse thoroughly before self-cleaning to prevent staining.

NOTE: Do not clean the bake element or broil element. Any soil will burn off when the elements are heated. The bake element can be lifted gently to clean the oven floor. If spillovers, residue or ash accumulate around the bake element, gently wipe around the element with warm water.

Oven light Oven front frame Oven door gasket Openings in door

1. Clean spatters or soil on the oven front frame and the oven door outside the gasket with a dampened cloth. The oven front frame and the oven door outside the gasket do not get cleaned by the self-clean cycle.

On these areas, use detergent and hot water or a soap-filled steel wool pad. Rinse well with a vinegar and water solution. This will help prevent a brown residue from forming when the oven is heated. Buff these areas with a dry cloth. Do not clean the gasket. Never use a commercial oven cleaner in or around the self-cleaning oven.

Clean the top, sides and outside front of the oven door with soap and water. Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners.

Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place.

Do not rub or clean the door gasket— the fiberglass material of the gasket has an extremely low resistance to abrasion. An intact and well-fitting oven door gasket is essential for energy-efficient oven operation and good baking results. If you notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or damaged in any way or if it has become displaced on the door, you should have it replaced.

Do not let water run down through openings in the top of the door. To help prevent water from getting in these slots when cleaning, open the door as far as it will go.

1. Close the oven door and make sure the oven light is off. If the oven light is not turned off, the life of the bulb will be shortened or it may burn out immediately.

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 temperature 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.

After a Clean Cycle

You may notice some white ash in the oven. Just wipe it up with a damp cloth after the oven cools.

If white spots remain, remove them with a soap-filled steel wool pad. Be sure to 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.

If the shelves 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 shelves with the paper towel.

NOTE: No functions can be programmed before the door automatically unlocks.

(continued next page)

How to Set the Oven for Cleaning

Follow the steps in the Before a Clean Cycle section.

1. Press the SELF CLEAN pad.

2. Press the INCREASE or DECREASE pad until the desired clean time is displayed.

You can change the clean time from 2 hours to 3 hours, depending on how dirty your oven is. The door will lock automatically and the self-clean cycle will begin after “CLN” is displayed and the time for the clean cycle is set. It will not be possible to open the oven door until the temperature drops below the lock temperature and the DOOR LOCKED light goes off.

1. When the DOOR LOCKED light is off and the oven has cooled, open the door.

Do not force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system.

Use caution when opening the door after self-cleaning. The oven may still be very hot. Stand to the side of the oven when opening the door to allow hot air or steam to escape.

To Stop a Clean Cycle

1. Press the CLEAR/OFF pad.

2. When the DOOR LOCKED light goes off and the oven has cooled below the locking temperature, you can open the door.

Questions and Answers

Q. Can I use commercial oven cleaners on any part of my self-cleaning oven?

A. No cleaners or coatings should be used around any part of this oven. If you do use them and do not thoroughly rinse the oven with water, wiping it absolutely clean afterwards, the residue can scar the oven surface and damage metal parts the next time the oven is automatically cleaned.

Q. Can I clean the gasket around the oven door?

A. No, this gasket is essential for a good oven seal, and care must be taken not to rub, damage or move this gasket.

Q. Is the “crackling” or “popping” sound I hear during cleaning normal?

A. Yes. This is the sound of the metal heating and cooling during both the cooking and cleaning functions.

Q. Why do I have ash left in my oven after cleaning?

A. Some types of soil will leave a deposit which is ash. It can be removed with a damp sponge or cloth.

Q. What should I do if excessive smoking occurs during cleaning?

A. This is caused by excessive soil. Press the CLEAR/OFF pad. Open the windows to rid the room of smoke. Wait until the DOOR LOCKED light goes off. Wipe up the excess soil and reset the clean cycle.

Q. Should there be any odor during the cleaning?

A. Yes, there will be an odor during the first few cleanings. Failure to wipe out excessive soil might also cause a strong odor when cleaning.

Q. What causes the hair-like lines on the enameled surface of my oven?

A. This is a normal condition, resulting from heating and cooling during cleaning. These lines do not affect how your oven performs.

Q. Can I cook food on the cooktop while the oven is self-cleaning?

A. Yes. While the oven is self-cleaning, you can use the cooktop just as you normally do.

CARE AND CLEANING

ge.com

Proper care and cleaning are important so your range will give you efficient and satisfactory service. Follow these directions carefully in caring for it to help assure safe and proper maintenance.

BE SURE ELECTRIC POWER IS OFF BEFORE CLEANING ANY PART OF THE RANGE.

A If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the anti-tip device is re-engaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to take this precaution could result in tipping of the range and cause injury.

Surface Units and Drip Pans

To clean the surface units, turn the control to the highest setting for a minute. The coils will burn off any soil.

CAUTION

• Be sure all the controls are turned to OFF and the surface units are cool before attempting to remove them.
• Do not immerse the surface units in liquids of any kind.
• Do not clean the surface units in a dishwasher.
• Do not bend the surface unit plug terminals.
• Do not attempt to clean, adjust or in any way repair the plug-in receptacle.

To remove a surface unit:

To remove the drip pans for cleaning, the surface units must be removed first.

Surface unit Receptacle Drip pan

Lift the surface unit about 1 inch above the drip pan and pull it out.

Do not lift the surface unit more than 1 inch. If you do, it may not lie flat on the drip pan when you plug it back in.

Repeated lifting of the surface unit more than 1 inch above the drip pan can permanently damage the receptacle.

To replace a surface unit:

• Replace the drip pan into the recess in the cooktop. Make sure opening in the pan lines up with the receptacle.
• Insert the terminals of the surface unit through the opening in the drip pan and into the receptacle.
• Guide the surface unit into place so it rests evenly.

Drip Pans

Remove the surface units. Then lift out the drip pans.

For best results, clean the drip pans by hand. Place them in a covered container (or a plastic bag) with 1/4 cup ammonia to loosen the soil. Then scrub with a soap filled scouring pad if necessary. Rinse with clean water and polish with a clean soft cloth.

The drip pans may also be cleaned in the dishwasher. Black drip pans (on some models) may be cleaned in a self-cleaning oven after they have been thoroughly rinsed. However, self-cleaning them may cause them to lose their original luster and shine.

Clean the area under the drip pans often. Built-up soil, especially grease, may catch on fire.

Do not cover the drip pans with foil. Using foil so close to the receptacle could cause shock, fire or damage to the range.

Oven Heating Elements

Do not clean the bake element or the broil element. Any soil will burn off when the elements are heated.

The bake element can be lifted gently to clean the oven floor. If spillovers, residue or ash accumulate around the bake element gently wipe around the element with warm water.

2. Lift off the glass lens.
3. Remove the bulb.

To replace the light bulb:

1. Insert a new 40 watt appliance bulb.
2. Replace the lens over the socket.
3. Swing the wire over the glass lens.
4. Reconnect the electrical power to the range.

NOTE: The glass lens must be in place whenever the oven is in use.

Broiler Pan and Grid

After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the oven. Remove the grid from the pan. Carefully pour out grease from the pan into a proper container. Wash and rinse the broiler pan and grid in hot water with a soap-filled or plastic scouring pad.

If food has burned on, sprinkle the grid with detergent while hot and cover with wet paper towels or a dishcloth. Soaking the pan will remove burned-on foods.

The broiler pan may be cleaned with a commercial oven cleaner. Do not use an oven cleaner on the grid. Both the broiler pan and grid can also be cleaned in a dishwasher.

Do not store a soiled broiler pan and grid anywhere in the range.

Do not clean the broiler pan or grid in the self-cleaning oven (on some models).

Oven Shelves

Clean the shelves with an abrasive cleanser or steel wool. After cleaning, rinse the shelves with clean water and dry with a clean cloth.

NOTE: The oven shelves may be cleaned in the self-cleaning oven (on some models). However, they will darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide.

To make the shelves slide more easily apply a small amount of vegetable oil or cooking oil to a paper towel and wipe the edges of the oven shelves with the paper towel.

Porcelain Enamel Cooktop

The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but breakable if misused. This finish is acid-resistant. However, any acidic foods spilled (such as fruit juices, tomato or vinegar) should not be permitted to remain on the finish.

If acids spill on the cooktop while it is hot, use a dry paper towel or cloth to wipe it up right away. When the surface has cooled, wash with soap and water. Rinse well.

For other spills such as fat spatterings, wash with soap and water or cleansing powders after the surface has cooled. Rinse well. Polish with a dry cloth.

Lift-Off Oven Door

Most normal oven cleaning can be done without removing the oven door. The door is heavy. You may need help removing and replacing it. Do not lift the door by the handle. This can cause the glass to break or can cause damage to the door.

To remove the door:

1. Open the door all the way.

2. Pull up the lock on both hinge supports. Secure each lock in the hook of the hinge lever. You may have to press down on the door a bit to pull the locks completely over the hood

Lock in normal position

1. Hold the door by the sides. Pull the bottom of the door up and toward you to release it from the hinges.

Lock engaged for door removal

Keep pulling the bottom of the door toward you while pushing the top of the door toward the range. Pull the door free of the hinges.

Hinge slot Door removed from the range

To replace the door:

1. Position the door slots squarely over both hinges to replace it. Make sure the hinge supports are completely in position before unlocking the hinge levers.

TO CLEAN THE DOOR:

Inside of door: (not on self-cleaning models)

• Clean the inside of the oven window with a mild non-scratching cleaner and a damp cloth.
• Soap and water will normally do the job. Heavy spattering or spillovers may require cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner. Soapy, wet metal pads may also be used. 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.

- If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner (not on self-cleaning models). Follow the package directions.

Outside of door:

• Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides and front of the oven door. DO NOT let water run down through openings in the top of the door. Rinse well. You may also use a glass cleaner to clean the glass on the outside of the door.
• Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting materials containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. When the surface is cool, clean and rinse.
• Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing powders or harsh abrasives such as steel wool pads on the outside of the door.

Porcelain Oven Interior (JCS57—left side storage compartment only; JCP67—left oven only)

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. Soapy, wet metal pads may also be used. 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.

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.

Cautions about using spray-on oven cleaners:

• Do not spray 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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Read these instructions completely and carefully.

IMPORTANT: Save these instructions for the local electrical inspector's use.

IMPORTANT: Obser ve all governing codes and ordinances.

NOTE TO INSTALLER: Leave these instructions with the appliance after installation is completed.

NOTE TO CONSUMER: Keep this Owner's Manual and Installation Instructions for future use.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

CAUTION: For personal safety, do not use an extension cord with this appliance. Remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before beginning installation.

This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and frequency, and connected to an individual properly grounded branch circuit, protected by a circuit breaker or fuse

having amperage as specified on the rating plate. The rating plate is located above the storage drawer on the oven frame.

Location of model rating plate

We recommend you have the electrical wiring and hookup of your range connected by a qualified electrician. After installation, have the electrician show you where your main range disconnect is located.

Check with your local utilities for electrical codes which apply in your area. Failure to wire your oven according to governing codes could result in a hazardous condition. If there are no local codes, your range must be wired and fused to meet the requirements of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70–Latest Edition. You can get a copy by writing:

National Fire Protection Association

Batterymarch Park

Quincy, MA 02269

Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical Code requires that new construction (not existing) utilize a 4-conductor connection to an electric range.

When installing an electric range in new construction, see 4-WIRE POWER CORD INSTALLATION or 4-WIRE CONDUIT INSTALLATION for 4-wire connection.

You must use a 3-wire, single-phase A.C. 208Y/120 Volt or 240/120 Volt, 60 hertz electrical system. If you connect to aluminum wiring, properly installed connectors approved for use with aluminum wiring must be used.

If the electrical service provided does not meet the above specifications, have a licensed electrician install an approved outlet.

Use only a 3-conductor or a 4-conductor UL-listed range cord. These cords may be provided with ring terminals on wire and a strain relief device.

A range cord rated at 40 amps with 125/250 minimum volt range is required. A 50 amp range cord is not recommended but if used, it should be marked for use with nominal 1-3/8" diameter connection openings. Care should be taken to center the cable and strain relief within the knockout hole to keep the edge from damaging the cable.

- Because range terminals are not accessible after range is in position, flexible service conduit or cord must be used.

NOTE: If conduit is being used, see 3-WIRE CONDUIT INSTALLATION or 4-WIRE CONDUIT INSTALLATION.

- On some models, a filter capacitor may be connected between the black and white leads on the junction block.

ALL NEW CONSTRUCTIONS, MOBILE HOMES AND INSTALLATIONS WHERE LOCAL CODES DO NOT ALLOW GROUNDING THROUGH NEUTRAL, REQUIRE A 4-CONDUCTOR UL-LISTED RANGE CORD.

(continued next page)

MODELS WITH FACTORY CONNECTED POWER SUPPLY CORD

Some models may be equipped with a factory connected 3 conductor power supply cord. Mobile home installation or area where local codes do not permit grounding through neutral, a 4 conductor power supply cord kit rated at 125/250 volts minimum, 40 amps and investigated for use with ranges shall be used. Terminals on end of wires must be either closed loop or open-end spade lugs with upturned ends.

REMOVE COOKTOP SHIPPING SCREWS

The liftable cooktop is locked down to prevent shipping damage.

1. Open both oven doors and locate the two shipping screws at the front end, underneath the cooktop.

GENERAL

To eliminate the hazard of reaching over heated surface elements, cabinets or storage spaces should not be provided over a range.

If cabinets are provided, the hazard can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5" beyond the bottom of the cabinets.

When installing the range between base cabinets, refer to figure below for the size of the opening needed. Do not seal the range to cabinets.

CAUTION: When unpacking the range, do not discard the 4 shipping bolts as these are the leveling legs.

If a service cord is used, the wall receptacle should be located in accordance with the dimensions below.

Of Range 10" 20" 10" 10" 7" max Floor Wall Locate outlet in shaded area

The figure below shows the recommended installation relationship of the ranges to the vertical walls of the surrounding structure. Please note the following:

NOTE:

1. The back of the range may be installed directly against the rear wall of the structure.
2. These ranges conform to UL requirements for "0" spacing from the range to adjacent vertical walls above the countertop level. However, to reduce possible scorching of vertical walls and to minimize potential fire hazards under abnormal surface unit use conditions such as high heat or no pans, a minimum of 2" spacing should be provided on both sides of the cooktop.
3. To eliminate the hazard of reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage space located above the surface units should be avoided. If a cabinet is to be provided, the hazard can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5" beyond the bottom of the cabinets.

Not less than width of range Wall 15" Min. 30" Min. Divided cooktop (40"range) 5"Min.

NOTE: There is a minimum 5" clearance required from the left side of the range to a wall. This clearance is needed to open the left side oven door or to remove the left oven shelf.

IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING

This range must be properly secured to the floor by using the included anti-tip brackets and screws. Failure to install the brackets could allow the range to accidentally tip over if excessive weight is placed on an open door or if a child climbs upon it. Serious injury might result from spilled hot liquids or from the range itself. Refer to the instructions below for proper installation.

NOTE: If the range is ever moved to a different location, the anti-tip brackets must also be moved and installed with the range.

ANTI-TIP BRACKET INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Tools Required:

• 5/16" Nutdriver or flat head screwdriver
• Adjustable wrench
  • 3/8" Electric drill & 3/16" diameter bit
• 3/16" diameter masonry drill (if installing in concrete)

Back edge of range or rear wall 1/2" 3/4" 3/4" Range side panel location

Brackets attach to the floor at the back of the range to hold both rear leg levelers. When fastening to the floor, be sure that screws do not penetrate electrical wiring or plumbing. The screws provided will work in either wood or concrete.

1. Unfold the paper template and place it flat on the floor with the back and side edges positioned exactly where the back and sides of the range will be located when installed. (Use the diagram to locate the brackets if the template is not available.)
2. Mark on the floor the location of the 4 mounting holes shown on the template. For easier installation, 3/16" diameter pilot holes, 1/2" deep can be drilled into the floor.
3. Remove the template and place the brackets on the floor with turned up flanges to the front. Line up the holes in the brackets with marks on the floor and attach with the 4 screws provided. Brackets must be secured to a solid floor. If attaching to masonry floor, first drill 3/16" diameter pilot holes using a concrete bit.
4. Level the range if necessary, by adjusting the 4 leg levelers with a wrench. (A minimum clearance of 1/8'' is required between the bottom of the range and the rear leveling feet.)
