IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

ANTI-TIP DEVICE

WARNING

• All ranges can tip.
  • BURNS or other SERIOUS INJURIES can result.
  • INSTALL and CHECK the ANTI-TIP bracket following the instructions supplied with the bracket.

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).

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 by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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

Use this appliance only 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.
- Have the installer show you the location of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.
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 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.

WARNING!

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Do not operate the oven or cooktop controls if the glass is broken. Food splatter or cleaning solution may penetrate a broken control panel and create a risk of electrical shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately should your glass control panel become broken.

• Do not store flammable materials in an oven or near the cooktop.
  ■ 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 let pot holders touch hot surface units or heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of pot holders.

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.

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 oven door and turning the oven off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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 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.

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.
  ■ Teach children not to play with the controls or any other part of the range.
  ■ Always keep dish towels, dishcloths, pot holders and other linens a safe distance from your range.
  ■ Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and canned food a safe distance from your range.
  ■ Always keep combustible wall coverings, curtains or drapes a safe distance from your range.

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.

RADIANT SURFACE 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 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.
■ When preparing flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

RADIANT SURFACE UNITS

Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the controls have been turned off.
- 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.
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 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 the Cleaning the glass cooktop section.

When the cooktop is cool, use only CERAMA BRYTE® Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner and the CERAMA BRYTE® Cleaning Pad 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.

Large scratches or impacts to glass doors or cooktops can lead to broken or shattered glass.

Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items and will increase pressure in closed containers, which may cause them to burst.

- Do not leave plastic or flammable items on the cooktop—they may melt or ignite if left too close to the vent.

Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can lead to damage and improper operation of the range.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING! OVEN

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.
  When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer's directions.
  ■ 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.

• 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.
  Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms. Improper installation of aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

SELF-CLEANING OVEN

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.

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.
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove shiny, silver-colored oven shelves (on some models) and all other cookware or they may discolor.
- Gray porcelain-coated oven shelves (on some models) may be cleaned in the oven during the self-clean cycle.

• Be sure to wipe off 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.
• Clean only parts listed in this Owner's Manual.

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

WARMER GUIDE

SETTING	FOOD
(Low)	Bread/Pastries
(Medium)	Chocolate/Butter
(Medium)	Sauces, Stews,Cream Soups
(Medium)	Vegetables
(High)	Soups (liquid)
(High)	Tea or Coffee

The Warmer Guide is for reference only and the SETTING that you need will depend on the amount and type of food, the starting temperature of the food and the length of the holding time.

Using the Warming Zone

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 food-borne 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.

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when removing food from the WARMING ZONE, since cookware and plates will be hot.

CAUTION: Do not warm food on the WARMING ZONE for more than two hours.

NOTE: The surface warmer will not glow red like the cooking elements.

A HOT surface indicator light will glow when the glass surface is hot and will remain on until the surface is cool enough to touch. Lower settings may not heat the glass surface enough to cause the HOT surface indicator light to come on.

A WARMING ZONE indicator light will glow when the unit is on.

Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very difficult to clean.

Use only cookware recommended for top-of-range cooking.

Home Canning Tips

Be sure the canner is centered over the surface unit.

Make sure the canner is flat on the bottom.

To prevent burns from steam or heat, use caution when canning.

Use recipes and procedures from reputable sources. These are available from manufacturers such as Ball ^® and Kerr ^® and the Department of Agriculture Extension Service.

Flat-bottomed canners are recommended. Use of water bath canners with rippled bottoms may extend the time required to bring the water to a boil.

Two symbolic illustrations: a crossed-out pot and a bowl, both without any text or symbols.

Use only flat-bottomed woks.

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.

Do not use round bottom woks. You could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.

The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.

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.

NOTE: On models with light-colored glass cooktops, it is normal for the cooking zones to change color when hot or cooling down. This is temporary and will disappear as the glass cools to room temperature.

The surface unit will cycle on and off to maintain your selected control setting. It is safe to place hot cookware on the glass surface even when the cooktop is cool.

Even after the surface units are turned off, the glass cooktop retains enough heat to continue cooking. To avoid overcooking, remove pans from the surface units when the food is cooked. Avoid placing anything on the surface unit until it has cooled completely.

DRAGGING

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

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.

Simple line drawing of a hand holding a ruler over a blank rectangular object (no text or symbols)

Check pans for flat bottoms by using a straight edge.

Three identical cooking pots with black 'X' symbols crossed out, likely indicating prohibition or resistance.

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, since 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.

Using the oven.

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

F E D C B A

The oven has 6 shelf positions.

Before you begin...

The shelves have stop-locks, so that when placed correctly on the shelf supports (A through F), they will stop before coming completely out, and will not tilt.

When placing and removing cookware, pull the shelf out to the bump on the shelf support.

To remove a shelf, pull it toward you, tilt the front end up and pull it out.

To replace, place the end of the shelf (stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the front and push the shelf in.

CAUTION: When you are using the shelf in the lowest position (A), you will need to use caution when pulling the shelf out. We recommend that you pull the shelf out several inches and then, using two pot holders, pull the shelf out by holding the sides of it. The shelf is low and you could be burned if you place your hand in the middle of the shelf and pull all the way out. Be very careful not to burn your hand on the door when using the shelf in the lowest position (A).

Preheating and Pan Placement

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.

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. If baking with more than one pan, place the pans so each has at least 1 to 1 12 of air space around it. If baking four cake layers at the same time, place two layers on shelf B and two layers on shelf D. Stagger pans on the shelf so one is not directly above the other.

Aluminum Foil

Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of the oven.

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.

Adjust the oven thermostat—Do it yourself!

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 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.

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.

Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom.

Before a Clean Cycle

We recommend venting your kitchen with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood during the first self-clean cycle.

Remove broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware and any aluminum foil from the oven.

NOTE:

If your oven is equipped with shiny, silver-colored oven shelves, remove them before you begin the self-clean cycle.
If your oven is equipped with gray porcelain-coated oven shelves, they may be left in the oven during the self-clean cycle.

The shiny, silver-colored oven shelves (on some models) 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 or plastic scouring 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.

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.

Touch the Clear/Off pad.

Wait until the oven has cooled below the locking temperature to unlatch the door. You will not be able to open the door right away unless the oven has cooled below the locking temperature.

After a Clean Cycle

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

If white spots remain, remove them with a soap-filled steel wool pad and rinse thoroughly with a vinegar and water mixture.

These deposits are usually a salt residue that cannot be removed by the clean cycle.

If the oven is not clean after one clean cycle, repeat the cycle.

- You cannot set the oven for cooking until the oven is cool enough for the door to be unlatched.

While the oven is self-cleaning, you can press the Clock pad to display the time of day. To return to the clean countdown, press the Self Clean pad.

■ Apply a small amount of vegetable oil to a paper towel and wipe the edges of the oven shelves with the paper towel. Do not spray with Pam ^® or other lubricant sprays.

Care and cleaning of the range. ge.com

Be sure all controls are off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.

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

How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape

Carefully grasp a corner of the protective shipping film with your fingers and slowly peel it from the appliance surface. Do not use any sharp items to remove the film. Remove all of the film before using the appliance for the first time.

To assure no damage is done to the finish of the product, the safest way to remove the adhesive from packaging tape on new appliances is an application of a household liquid dishwashing detergent. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak.

NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all parts. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.

Control Knobs

The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning. Make sure the knobs are in the OFF positions and pull them straight off the stems for cleaning.

The knobs can be cleaned in a dishwasher or they may also be washed with soap and water. Make sure the inside of the knobs are dry before replacing.

Replace the knobs, in the OFF position to ensure proper placement.

Control Panel

It's a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use of the oven. Use a damp cloth to clean or rinse. For cleaning, use mild soap and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water. For rinsing, use clean water. Polish dry with a soft cloth.

Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleaners, plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control panel—they will damage the finish.

Painted Surfaces

Painted surfaces include the sides of the range and the door, top of control panel and the drawer front. Clean these with soap and water or a vinegar and water solution.

Do not use commercial oven cleaners, cleaning powders, steel wool or harsh abrasives on any painted surface.

Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)

Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.

To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.

To inquire about purchasing stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish, or to find the location of a dealer nearest you, please call our toll-free number:

Oven Vent

The oven vent is located behind the right rear surface unit.

This area could become hot during oven use.

It is normal for steam to come out of the vent, and moisture may collect underneath it when the oven is in use.

The vent is important for proper air circulation. Never block this vent.

Simple line drawing of a rectangular frame with a central black rectangle and diagonal lines, no text or symbols present.

The gasket is designed with a gap at the bottom to allow for proper air circulation. Do not rub or clean the door gasket—it has an extremely low resistance to abrasion.

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.

Cleaning the Oven Door

To clean the inside of the door:

Because the area inside the gasket is cleaned during the self-clean cycle, you do not need to clean this by hand.

The area outside the gasket and the door liner can be cleaned with a soap-filled or plastic scouring pad, hot water and detergent. Rinse well with a vinegar and water solution.

To clean the outside of the door:

Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides and front of the oven door. Rinse well. You may also use a glass cleaner to clean the glass on the outside of the door. Do not let water drip into the vent openings.

If any stain on the door vent trim is persistent, use a soft abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results.

■ Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting materials containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. When surface is cool, clean and rinse.

Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning powders or harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.
