Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support 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 birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances. Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood. 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. 3 WARNING! For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life. GEAppliances.com ANTI-TIP DEVICE 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. 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. 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).

Operating Instructions Safety Instructions IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING. WARNING! When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following: I Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual. I Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with the provided installation instructions. I Before performing any service, disconnect the range power supply at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker. I Have the installer show you the location of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference. I 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. I Have the installer show you the location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off if necessary. I Have your range installed and properly grounded by a qualified installer, in accordance with the Installation Instructions. Any adjustment and service should be performed only by qualified gas range installers or service technicians. I Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path and out of drafty locations to prevent poor air circulation. I Be sure all packaging materials are removed from the range before operating it to prevent fire or smoke damage should the packaging material ignite. I Do not leave children alone or unattended where a range is hot or in operation. They could be seriously burned. I Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your range unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other service should be referred to a qualified technician. I Be sure your range is correctly adjusted by a qualified service technician or installer for the type of gas (natural or LP) that is to be used. Your range can be converted for use with either type of gas. See the Installation Instructions packed with the range. I Plug your range into a 120-volt grounded outlet only. Do not remove the round grounding prong from the plug. If in doubt about the grounding of the home electrical system, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have an ungrounded outlet replaced with a properly grounded, three-prong outlet in accordance with the National Electrical Code (U.S.). Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. WARNING: These adjustments must be made by a qualified service technician in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and all codes and requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or property damage. The qualified agency performing this work assumes responsibility for the conversion. I Keep the hood and grease filters clean to maintain good venting and to avoid grease fires. I Teach children not to play with the controls or any other part of the range. I Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot holders and other linens a safe distance from your range. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support 5 I Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and canned food a safe distance from your range. I Always keep combustible wall coverings, curtains or drapes a safe distance from your range. I Do not clean the range with flammable or volatile cleaning fluids. I After prolonged use of a range, high floor temperatures may result and many floor coverings will not withstand this kind of use. Never install the range over vinyl tile or linoleum that cannot withstand such type of use. Never install it directly over interior kitchen carpeting. I Avoid scratching the cooktop with sharp instruments, or with rings and other jewelry. I Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the oven door, storage drawer or cooktop. They could damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe personal 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. I For your safety, never use your appliance for warming or heating the room. I Large scratches or impacts to glass doors can lead to broken or shattered glass. I Do not clean the range when the appliance is in use. I Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items stored in cabinets over the range. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with flame or hot oven surfaces and may cause severe burns. I Do not store flammable materials in an oven, a range storage drawer or near a cooktop. I Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. I Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the range. I Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface burner 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. I 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. I Flame in the oven can be smothered completely by closing the oven door and turning the control to off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher. I Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool before touching them or leaving them where children can reach them. I 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 or kick panel. I Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can lead to damage and improper operation of the range. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WARNING: NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the cooktop or oven. GEAppliances.com

Operating Instructions Safety Instructions IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING. SURFACE BURNERS Use proper pan size—avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. To avoid spillovers, make sure cookware is large enough to contain the food properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped and remain cool. I Always use the LITE position when igniting the top burners and make sure the burners have ignited. I Never leave the surface burners unattended at high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire. I Adjust the top burner flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous. I Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders come near open flames when lifting cookware. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a pot holder. I When using glass cookware, make sure it is designed for top-of-range cooking. I To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage, turn cookware handles toward the side or back of the range without extending over adjacent burners. I Carefully watch foods being fried at a high flame setting. I Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats. I 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. I If a combination of oils or fats will be used in frying, stir together before heating or as fats melt slowly. I Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point. I Do not operate the burner without all burner parts in place. I Use the least possible amount of fat for effective shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling I the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when food is added. I Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you do flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on. I Do not use a wok on the cooking surface if the wok has a round metal ring that is placed over the burner grate to support the wok. This ring acts as a heat trap, which may damage the burner grate and burner head. Also, it may cause the burner to work improperly. This may cause a carbon monoxide level above that allowed by current standards, resulting in a health hazard. I 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. I Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool. I Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop— they may melt if left too close to the vent. I Keep all plastics away from the surface burners. I To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be certain that the controls for all burners are at the OFF position and all grates are cool before attempting to remove them. I If range is located near a window, do not hang long curtains that could blow over the surface burners and create a fire hazard. I If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range and call a qualified service technician. Never use an open flame to locate a leak. I Always turn the surface burner controls off before removing cookware. I When disabling range lock-out, make sure the surface controls are set to the OFF position. This will preclude gas flow when the range is turned on. WARNING!

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 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. I 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. I Before self-cleaning the oven, remove shiny, silver-colored oven racks (on some models) and all other cookware. I Gray porcelain-coated oven racks (on some models) may be cleaned in the oven during the self-clean cycle. I Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before starting the self-cleaning operation. I If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have it serviced by a qualified technician. I Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s Manual. SELF-CLEANING OVEN 7 Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Care and Cleaning Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support I Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury. I Keep the oven vent unobstructed. I Keep the oven free from grease buildup. I Place the oven rack in the desired position while the oven is cool. If racks must be handled when hot, do not let pot holder contact the heating elements. I When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions. I Pulling out the rack 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. I Do not use the oven to dry newspapers. If overheated, they can catch on fire. I Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items stored in an oven can ignite. I Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the oven when not in use. I Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms. Improper installation of aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire. I Make sure a broiler pan is in place correctly to reduce the possibility of grease fires. I If you should have a grease fire in a broiler pan, press the CLEAR/OFF pad and keep the oven door closed to contain fire until it burns out. 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. WARNING! OVEN (Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F (71°C) and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F (82°C). Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness. COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY… WARNING: NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard. GEAppliances.com

Operating Instructions Safety Instructions Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model. How to Light a Gas Surface Burner Push the control knob in and turn it to the LITE position. You will hear a clicking noise—the sound of the electric spark igniting the burner. After the flame lights, turn the knob to adjust the flame size. If the knob stays at LITE, it will continue to click. When one burner is turned to LITE, all the burners spark. Do not attempt to disassemble or clean around any burner while another burner is on. An electric shock may result, which could cause you to knock over hot cookware. Push the control knob in and turn it to the LITE position. How to Select Flame Size For safe handling of cookware, never let the flames extend up the sides of the cookware. Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat. The flame size on a gas burner should match the cookware you are using. Any flame larger than the bottom of the cookware is wasted and only serves to heat the handle. Before Lighting a Gas Burner I Make sure all grates on the range are in place before using any burner. I If your range has the Range Lock-Out feature, make sure it is disabled before attempting to light the surface burners. After Lighting a Gas Burner I Do not operate the burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat. I Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or other materials on them. Using the gas surface burners. Sealed Gas Burners Your gas range cooktop has four sealed gas burners. They offer convenience, cleanability and flexibility to be used in a wide range of cooking applications. The smallest burner in the right rear position is the simmer burner. This burner can be turned to LO for a very low simmer setting. It provides precise cooking performance for delicate foods such as sauces or foods that require low heat for a long cooking time. The medium (left rear) and the large (left front) burners are the primary burners for most cooking. These general- purpose burners can be turned from HI to LO to suit a wide range of cooking needs. The extra large burner (right front) is the maximum output burner. Like the other three burners, it can be turned from HI to LO for a wide range of cooking applications; however, this burner is designed to quickly bring large amounts of liquid to a boil. It has a special POWER BOIL™setting designed to be used with cookware 10 inches or larger in diameter. Medium Small Large Extra Large Extra-large burner only

Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support In Case of Power Failure In case of a power failure, you can light the gas surface burners on your range with a match. Hold a lit match to the burner, then push in and turn the control knob to the LITE position. Use extreme caution when lighting burners this way. Surface burners in use when an electrical power failure occurs will continue to operate normally. NOTE: If range lock-out is in use at the time of a power failure, the surface burners cannot be lit. Wok This Way We recommend that you use a 14-inch (35.6 cm) or smaller flat-bottomed wok. Make sure the wok bottom sits flat on the grate. They are available at your local retail store. Only a flat-bottomed wok should be used. Do not use a flat-bottomed wok on a support ring. Placing the ring over the burner or grate may cause the burner to work improperly, resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable standards. This could be dangerous to your health. Use a flat-bottomed wok. Stove Top Grills Do not use stove top grills on your sealed gas burners. If you use the stove top grill on the sealed gas burner, it will cause incomplete combustion and can result in exposure to carbon monoxide levels above allowable current standards. This can be hazardous to your health. Top-of-Range Cookware Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is recommended because it heats quickly and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in an aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with tight-fitting lids when cooking with minimum amounts of water. Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give satisfactory results. Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel of some cookware may melt. Follow cookware manufacturer’s recommendations for cooking methods. Glass: There are two types of glass cookware—those for oven use only and those for top-of-range cooking (saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat very slowly. Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for either surface or oven cooking. It conducts heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check cookware manufacturer’s directions to be sure it can be used on gas ranges. Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor heating properties and is usually combined with copper, aluminum or other metals for improved heat distribution. Combination metal skillets usually work satisfactorily if they are used with medium heat as the manufacturer recommends. GEAppliances.com 9

Before you begin… The racks have stops, so that when placed correctly on the supports, they will stop before coming completely out, and will not tilt. When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out until it stops. The bake burner is under the oven floor. Do not place foods on the oven bottom for cooking. To remove a rack, pull it toward you, tilt the front end up and pull it out. To replace, place the end of the rack (stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the front and push the rack in. CAUTION: When you are using the rack in the lowest position (A), you will need to use caution when pulling the rack out. We recommend that you pull the rack out several inches and then, using two pot holders, pull the rack out by holding the sides of it. The rack is low and you could be burned if you place your hand in the middle of the rack and pull all the way out. Be very careful not to burn your hand on the door when using the rack in the lowest position (A). The oven has 7 rack positions. How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting Touch the BAKE pad.

Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support GEAppliances.com Aluminum Foil Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of the oven. Never entirely cover a rack 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 rack several inches below the food. 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. To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature. The control will beep when the oven is preheated and the display will show your set temperature. The preheat time will vary depending on the temperature setting. 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″ (2.5 cm) to 11⁄2″ (3.8 cm) of air space around it. Do not place foods directly on the oven floor. Oven Moisture As your oven heats up, the temperature change of the air in the oven may cause water droplets to form on the door glass. These droplets are harmless and will evaporate as the oven continues to heat up.

attempt to operate the electric ignition oven during an electrical power failure. The oven or broiler cannot be lit during a power failure. Gas will not flow unless the glow bar is hot. If the oven is in use when a power failure occurs, the oven burner shuts off and cannot be re-lit until power is restored. This is because the flow of gas is automatically stopped and will not resume when power is restored until the glow bar has reached operating temperature. Oven Vent Your oven is vented through one vent located toward the rear of the range. Do not block this vent when cooking in the oven—it is important that the flow of hot air from the oven and fresh air to the oven burner be uninterrupted. Avoid touching the vent openings or nearby surfaces during oven or broiler operation— they may become hot. I Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop may become hot if left too close to the vent. I Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop— they may melt if left too close to the vent. I 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. I Metal items will become very hot if they are left on the cooktop, and could cause burns. 14 Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips Care and Cleaning Operating Instructions Safety Instructions Using the oven.

The temperature probe takes the guesswork out of roasting by cooking foods to the exact doneness you want. Use of probes other than the one provided with this product may result in damage to the probe or oven control. Use the handles of the probe and plug when inserting and removing them from the food and outlet. I To avoid damaging your probe, do not use tongs to pull on the cable when removing it. I To avoid breaking the probe, make sure food is completely defrosted before inserting. I To prevent possible burns, do not unplug the probe from the outlet until the oven has cooled. I Never leave your probe inside the oven during a self-cleaning cycle. I Do not store the probe in the oven. The temperature probe has a skewer-like probe at one end and a plug at the other end that goes into the outlet in the oven. After preparing the meat and placing it on a trivet or on a broiler pan grid, follow these directions for proper probe placement. Insert the probe completely into the meat. It should not touch bone, fat or gristle. For roasts with no bone, insert the probe into the meatiest part of the roast. For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the center of the lowest large muscle. Insert the probe into the center of dishes such as meat loaf or casseroles. Insert the probe into the meatiest part of the inner thigh from below and parallel to the leg of a whole turkey.

Operating Instructions Safety Instructions Because heated air is circulated evenly throughout the oven, foods can be baked with excellent results using multiple racks. Multi-rack baking may increase cook times slightly for some foods, but the overall result is time saved. Cookies, muffins, biscuits, and other quick breads give good results with multi-rack baking. When baking on 3 racks, place one rack in the fourth (D) position, one in the fifth (E) position and one in the sixth (F) position. If pans will not fit, use rack positions B, D and F.

When convection baking, the Auto Recipe™Conversion feature automatically reduces the set regular baking temperature by the recommended 25°F (14°C). See Auto Recipe™Conversion in the Special Features section. I Use pan size recommended. I Some package instructions for frozen casseroles or main dishes have been developed using commercial convection ovens. For best results in this oven, preheat the oven and use the temperature on the package. Convection Fan In a convection oven, a fan circulates hot air over, under and around the food. This circulating hot air is evenly distributed throughout the oven cavity. As a result, foods are evenly cooked and browned—often in less time with convection heat. NOTE: The convection fan will cycle on and off while cooking to best distribute hot air in the oven. The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened. Multi-Rack Convection Baking Multi-rack position. The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food. When convection baking with only 1 rack, use the rack positions recommended in the Using the oven section. I Ideal for evenly browned baked foods cooked on 1 rack and for large foods. Additionally, some time savings may be noticed. I Good results with cookies, biscuits, muffins, brownies, cupcakes, cream puffs, sweet rolls, angel food cake and bread. 1-Rack Convection Baking

Cookware for Convection Cooking Before using your convection oven, check to see if your cookware leaves room for air circulation in the oven. If you are baking with several pans, leave space between them. Also, be sure the pans do not touch each other or the walls of the oven. Paper and Plastic Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers that are recommended for use in regular baking can also be used for convection baking, but should not be used at temperatures higher than the temperature recommended by the cookware manufacturer. Plastic cookware that is heat-resistant to temperatures of 400°F (204°C) can also be used. Metal and Glass Any type of cookware will work in your convection oven. However, metal pans heat the fastest and are recommended for convection baking. I Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake faster than shiny pans. I Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly. For recipes like oven-baked chicken, use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot circulate well around food in a pan with high sides. How to Set the Oven for Convection Baking or Roasting Convection Roast I Good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered. The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food. Meat and poultry are browned on all sides as if they were cooked on a rotisserie. The heated air seals in juices quickly for a moist and tender product while, at the same time, creating a rich golden brown exterior. When you are convection roasting, it is important that you use a broiler pan and grid designed for broiling for best convection roasting results. The pan is used to catch grease spills, and the grid is used to prevent grease spatters while heated air circulates under the meat to increase browning on the underside of the meat or poultry. I Place the oven rack in the position that centers the food between the top and bottom of the oven. When baking cookies, you will get the best results if you use a flat cookie sheet instead of a pan with low sides. 21 GEAppliances.com NOTE: When convection baking, the oven temperature will be 25°F (14°C) lower than the set temperature.

Operating Instructions Safety Instructions 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 F (11–22 degrees C). NOTE: This adjustment will only affect baking, convection baking (on some models) and convection roasting (on some models) temperatures; it will not affect broiling or self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure. To Adjust the Thermostat Touch the BROIL and BAKE pads at the same time for 3 seconds until the display shows SF. Touch the BAKE pad. A two-digit number shows in the display. Touch BAKE again to alternate between increasing and decreasing the oven temperature. The oven temperature can be adjusted up to (+) 35ºF (19°C) hotter or (-) 35ºF (19°C) cooler. Touch the number pads the same way you read them. For example, to change the oven temperature 15ºF (8°C), touch 1 and 5. When you have made the adjustment, touch the START pad to go back to the time of day display. Use your oven as you would normally. + 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. U.S. 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.

Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support The oven door must be closed and all controls set correctly for the cycle to work properly. Before a Clean Cycle Remove broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware, probe and any aluminum foil from the oven—they cannot withstand the high cleaning temperatures. NOTE: I The shiny, silver-colored oven racks (on some models) can be self-cleaned, but they will darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide. I If your oven is equipped with gray porcelain-coated oven racks, they may be left in the oven during the self-clean cycle. 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. Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom. How to Set the Oven for Cleaning Turn all of the surface burners off. Touch the SELF CLEAN pad once for a 4-hour (3-hour on some models) clean time or twice for a 3-hour (4-hour on some models) clean time. A 3-hour self-clean time is recommended for use when cleaning small, contained spills. A self-clean time of 4 hours or longer is recommended for a dirtier oven.

Turn all controls off before removing burner parts. The burner grates, burner heads and burner caps can be removed for easy cleaning. The electrode of the spark igniter is exposed beyond the surface of the burner base. When cleaning the cooktop, be careful not to snag the electrode of the spark igniter with your cleaning cloth. Damage to the igniter could occur. To avoid snagging a cloth on the spark igniter, leave the burner heads in place when cleaning the cooktop. Be careful not to push in any cooktop controls while cleaning the cooktop. A slight electrical shock might result which could cause you to knock over hot cookware. Wash burner parts with an all-purpose non-abrasive cleaner and warm water. Soak stubborn soil. Dry them with a cloth—do not reassemble while wet. To reassemble, replace the burner head first, then the burner cap and finally the burner grate. Make sure that the heads and caps are replaced in the correct locations.

Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips Care and Cleaning Operating Instructions Safety Instructions Burner Grates and Vent Grille Porcelain enamel burner grates and the vent grille should be washed regularly and, of course, after spillovers. The grates may be washed either in the dishwasher or you may wash them in hot soapy water and rinse with clean water. You may also use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads to clean burner grates and the vent grille. Dry the grates and grille with a cloth—don’t put them back on the cooktop wet. To get rid of burned-on food, place the grates and grille in a covered container. Add 1/4 cup (59 mL) ammonia and let them soak several hours or overnight. Wash, rinse well and dry. Although they’re durable, the grates and grille will gradually lose their shine, regardless of the best care you can give them. This is due to their continual exposure to high temperatures. Do not operate a burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat. After cleaning, replace the center vent grille first. Replace the side grates so that the center extensions are oriented toward the center of the cooktop. The rear center extensions should slightly overlap the vent grille. Make sure the grates are positioned securely over the burners and that they are stable and level.

ANTI-TIP DEVICE I ALL RANGES CAN TIP I INJURY TO PERSONS COULD RESULT I INSTALL ANTI-TIP DEVICES PACKED WITH RANGE I SEE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support 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 birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances. Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood. 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. 3 WARNING! For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life. All ranges can tip and injury could result. To prevent accidental tipping of the range, attach it to the wall or floor by installing the Anti-Tip device supplied. If the Anti-Tip device supplied with the range does not fit this application, use the universal Anti-Tip device WB2X7909. To check if the device is installed and engaged properly, remove the storage drawer and inspect the rear leveling leg. Make sure it fits securely into the slot. 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 manual. Failure to take this precaution could result in tipping of the range and injury.

Operating Instructions Safety Instructions IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING. WARNING! When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following: I Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual. I Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with the provided installation instructions. I Before performing any service, disconnect the range power supply at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker. I Have the installer show you the location of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference. I 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. I Have the installer show you the location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off if necessary. I Have your range installed and properly grounded by a qualified installer, in accordance with the Installation Instructions. Any adjustment and service should be performed only by qualified gas range installers or service technicians. I Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path and out of drafty locations to prevent poor air circulation. I Be sure all packaging materials are removed from the range before operating it to prevent fire or smoke damage should the packaging material ignite. I Do not leave children alone or unattended where a range is hot or in operation. They could be seriously burned. I Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your range unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other service should be referred to a qualified technician. I Be sure your range is correctly adjusted by a qualified service technician or installer for the type of gas (natural or LP) that is to be used. Your range can be converted for use with either type of gas. See the Installation Instructions packed with the range. I Plug your range into a 120-volt grounded outlet only. Do not remove the round grounding prong from the plug. If in doubt about the grounding of the home electrical system, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have an ungrounded outlet replaced with a properly grounded, three-prong outlet in accordance with the National Electrical Code (U.S.). Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. WARNING: These adjustments must be made by a qualified service technician in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and all codes and requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or property damage. The qualified agency performing this work assumes responsibility for the conversion. I Keep the hood and grease filters clean to maintain good venting and to avoid grease fires. I Teach children not to play with the controls or any other part of the range. I Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot holders and other linens a safe distance from your range. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support 5 I Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and canned food a safe distance from your range. I Always keep combustible wall coverings, curtains or drapes a safe distance from your range. I Do not clean the range with flammable or volatile cleaning fluids. I After prolonged use of a range, high floor temperatures may result and many floor coverings will not withstand this kind of use. Never install the range over vinyl tile or linoleum that cannot withstand such type of use. Never install it directly over interior kitchen carpeting. I Avoid scratching the cooktop with sharp instruments, or with rings and other jewelry. I Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the oven door, storage drawer or cooktop. They could damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe personal 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. I For your safety, never use your appliance for warming or heating the room. I Large scratches or impacts to glass doors can lead to broken or shattered glass. I Do not clean the range when the appliance is in use. I Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items stored in cabinets over the range. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with flame or hot oven surfaces and may cause severe burns. I Do not store flammable materials in an oven, a range storage drawer or near a cooktop. I Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. I Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the range. I Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface burner 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. I 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. I Flame in the oven can be smothered completely by closing the oven door and turning the control to off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher. I Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool before touching them or leaving them where children can reach them. I 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 or kick panel. I Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can lead to damage and improper operation of the range. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WARNING: NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the cooktop or oven. ge.com (U.S.) www.GEAppliances.ca (Canada)

Operating Instructions Safety Instructions IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING. SURFACE BURNERS Use proper pan size—avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. To avoid spillovers, make sure cookware is large enough to contain the food properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped and remain cool. I Always use the LITE position when igniting the top burners and make sure the burners have ignited. I Never leave the surface burners unattended at high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire. I Adjust the top burner flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous. I Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders come near open flames when lifting cookware. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a pot holder. I When using glass cookware, make sure it is designed for top-of-range cooking. I To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage, turn cookware handles toward the side or back of the range without extending over adjacent burners. I Carefully watch foods being fried at a high flame setting. I Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats. I 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. I If a combination of oils or fats will be used in frying, stir together before heating or as fats melt slowly. I Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point. I Do not operate the burner without all burner parts in place. I Use the least possible amount of fat for effective shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling I the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when food is added. I Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you do flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on. I Do not use a wok on the cooking surface if the wok has a round metal ring that is placed over the burner grate to support the wok. This ring acts as a heat trap, which may damage the burner grate and burner head. Also, it may cause the burner to work improperly. This may cause a carbon monoxide level above that allowed by current standards, resulting in a health hazard. I 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. I Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool. I Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop— they may melt if left too close to the vent. I Keep all plastics away from the surface burners. I To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be certain that the controls for all burners are at the OFF position and all grates are cool before attempting to remove them. I If range is located near a window, do not hang long curtains that could blow over the surface burners and create a fire hazard. I If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range and call a qualified service technician. Never use an open flame to locate a leak. I Always turn the surface burner controls off before removing cookware. I When disabling range lock-out, make sure the surface controls are set to the OFF position. This will preclude gas flow when the range is turned on. WARNING!

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 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. I 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. I Before self-cleaning the oven, remove shiny, silver-colored oven racks (on some models) and all other cookware. I Gray porcelain-coated oven racks (on some models) may be cleaned in the oven during the self-clean cycle. I Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before starting the self-cleaning operation. I If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have it serviced by a qualified technician. I Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s Manual. SELF-CLEANING OVEN 7 Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Care and Cleaning Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support I Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury. I Keep the oven vent unobstructed. I Keep the oven free from grease buildup. I Place the oven rack in the desired position while the oven is cool. If racks must be handled when hot, do not let pot holder contact the heating elements. I When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions. I Pulling out the rack 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. I Do not use the oven to dry newspapers. If overheated, they can catch on fire. I Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items stored in an oven can ignite. I Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the oven when not in use. I Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms. Improper installation of aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire. I Make sure a broiler pan is in place correctly to reduce the possibility of grease fires. I If you should have a grease fire in a broiler pan, press the CLEAR/OFF pad and keep the oven door closed to contain fire until it burns out. 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. WARNING! OVEN (Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F (71°C) and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F (82°C). Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness. COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY… WARNING: NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard. ge.com (U.S.) www.GEAppliances.ca (Canada)

Operating Instructions Safety Instructions Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model. How to Light a Gas Surface Burner Push the control knob in and turn it to the LITE position. You will hear a clicking noise—the sound of the electric spark igniting the burner. After the flame lights, turn the knob to adjust the flame size. If the knob stays at LITE, it will continue to click. When one burner is turned to LITE, all the burners spark. Do not attempt to disassemble or clean around any burner while another burner is on. An electric shock may result, which could cause you to knock over hot cookware. Push the control knob in and turn it to the LITE position. How to Select Flame Size For safe handling of cookware, never let the flames extend up the sides of the cookware. Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat. The flame size on a gas burner should match the cookware you are using. Any flame larger than the bottom of the cookware is wasted and only serves to heat the handle. Before Lighting a Gas Burner I Make sure all grates on the range are in place before using any burner. I If your range has the Range Lock-Out feature, make sure it is disabled before attempting to light the surface burners. After Lighting a Gas Burner I Do not operate the burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat. I Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or other materials on them. Using the gas surface burners. Sealed Gas Burners Your gas range cooktop has four sealed gas burners. They offer convenience, cleanability and flexibility to be used in a wide range of cooking applications. The smallest burner in the right rear position is the simmer burner. This burner can be turned to LO for a very low simmer setting. It provides precise cooking performance for delicate foods such as sauces or foods that require low heat for a long cooking time. The medium (left rear) and the large (left front) burners are the primary burners for most cooking. These general- purpose burners can be turned from HI to LO to suit a wide range of cooking needs. The extra large burner (right front) is the maximum output burner. Like the other three burners, it can be turned from HI to LO for a wide range of cooking applications; however, this burner is designed to quickly bring large amounts of liquid to a boil. It has a special POWER BOIL™setting designed to be used with cookware 10 inches or larger in diameter. Medium Small Large Extra Large Extra-large burner only

Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support In Case of Power Failure In case of a power failure, you can light the gas surface burners on your range with a match. Hold a lit match to the burner, then push in and turn the control knob to the LITE position. Use extreme caution when lighting burners this way. Surface burners in use when an electrical power failure occurs will continue to operate normally. NOTE: If range lock-out is in use at the time of a power failure, the surface burners cannot be lit. Wok This Way We recommend that you use a 14-inch (35.6 cm) or smaller flat-bottomed wok. Make sure the wok bottom sits flat on the grate. They are available at your local retail store. Only a flat-bottomed wok should be used. Do not use a flat-bottomed wok on a support ring. Placing the ring over the burner or grate may cause the burner to work improperly, resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable standards. This could be dangerous to your health. Use a flat-bottomed wok. Stove Top Grills Do not use stove top grills on your sealed gas burners. If you use the stove top grill on the sealed gas burner, it will cause incomplete combustion and can result in exposure to carbon monoxide levels above allowable current standards. This can be hazardous to your health. Top-of-Range Cookware Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is recommended because it heats quickly and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in an aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with tight-fitting lids when cooking with minimum amounts of water. Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give satisfactory results. Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel of some cookware may melt. Follow cookware manufacturer’s recommendations for cooking methods. Glass: There are two types of glass cookware—those for oven use only and those for top-of-range cooking (saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat very slowly. Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for either surface or oven cooking. It conducts heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check cookware manufacturer’s directions to be sure it can be used on gas ranges. Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor heating properties and is usually combined with copper, aluminum or other metals for improved heat distribution. Combination metal skillets usually work satisfactorily if they are used with medium heat as the manufacturer recommends. ge.com (U.S.) www.GEAppliances.ca (Canada) 9

Before you begin… The racks have stops, so that when placed correctly on the supports, they will stop before coming completely out, and will not tilt. When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out until it stops. The bake burner is under the oven floor. Do not place foods on the oven bottom for cooking. To remove a rack, pull it toward you, tilt the front end up and pull it out. To replace, place the end of the rack (stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the front and push the rack in. CAUTION: When you are using the rack in the lowest position (A), you will need to use caution when pulling the rack out. We recommend that you pull the rack out several inches and then, using two pot holders, pull the rack out by holding the sides of it. The rack is low and you could be burned if you place your hand in the middle of the rack and pull all the way out. Be very careful not to burn your hand on the door when using the rack in the lowest position (A). The oven has 7 rack positions. How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting Touch the BAKE pad.

Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support ge.com (U.S.) www.GEAppliances.ca (Canada) Aluminum Foil Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of the oven. Never entirely cover a rack 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 rack several inches below the food. 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. To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature. The control will beep when the oven is preheated and the display will show your set temperature. The preheat time will vary depending on the temperature setting. 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″ (2.5 cm) to 11⁄2″ (3.8 cm) of air space around it. Do not place foods directly on the oven floor. Oven Moisture As your oven heats up, the temperature change of the air in the oven may cause water droplets to form on the door glass. These droplets are harmless and will evaporate as the oven continues to heat up.

the electric ignition oven during an electrical power failure. The oven or broiler cannot be lit during a power failure. Gas will not flow unless the glow bar is hot. If the oven is in use when a power failure occurs, the oven burner shuts off and cannot be re-lit until power is restored. This is because the flow of gas is automatically stopped and will not resume when power is restored until the glow bar has reached operating temperature. Oven Vent Your oven is vented through one vent located toward the rear of the range. Do not block this vent when cooking in the oven—it is important that the flow of hot air from the oven and fresh air to the oven burner be uninterrupted. Avoid touching the vent openings or nearby surfaces during oven or broiler operation— they may become hot. I Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop may become hot if left too close to the vent. I Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop— they may melt if left too close to the vent. I 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. I Metal items will become very hot if they are left on the cooktop, and could cause burns. 14 Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips Care and Cleaning Operating Instructions Safety Instructions Using the oven.

The temperature probe takes the guesswork out of roasting by cooking foods to the exact doneness you want. Use of probes other than the one provided with this product may result in damage to the probe or oven control. Use the handles of the probe and plug when inserting and removing them from the food and outlet. I To avoid damaging your probe, do not use tongs to pull on the cable when removing it. I To avoid breaking the probe, make sure food is completely defrosted before inserting. I To prevent possible burns, do not unplug the probe from the outlet until the oven has cooled. I Never leave your probe inside the oven during a self-cleaning cycle. I Do not store the probe in the oven. The temperature probe has a skewer-like probe at one end and a plug at the other end that goes into the outlet in the oven. After preparing the meat and placing it on a trivet or on a broiler pan grid, follow these directions for proper probe placement. Insert the probe completely into the meat. It should not touch bone, fat or gristle. For roasts with no bone, insert the probe into the meatiest part of the roast. For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the center of the lowest large muscle. Insert the probe into the center of dishes such as meat loaf or casseroles. Insert the probe into the meatiest part of the inner thigh from below and parallel to the leg of a whole turkey.

Operating Instructions Safety Instructions Because heated air is circulated evenly throughout the oven, foods can be baked with excellent results using multiple racks. Multi-rack baking may increase cook times slightly for some foods, but the overall result is time saved. Cookies, muffins, biscuits, and other quick breads give good results with multi-rack baking. When baking on 3 racks, place one rack in the fourth (D) position, one in the fifth (E) position and one in the sixth (F) position. If pans will not fit, use rack positions B, D and F.

When convection baking, the Auto Recipe™Conversion feature automatically reduces the set regular baking temperature by the recommended 25°F (14°C). See Auto Recipe™Conversion in the Special Features section. I Use pan size recommended. I Some package instructions for frozen casseroles or main dishes have been developed using commercial convection ovens. For best results in this oven, preheat the oven and use the temperature on the package. Convection Fan In a convection oven, a fan circulates hot air over, under and around the food. This circulating hot air is evenly distributed throughout the oven cavity. As a result, foods are evenly cooked and browned—often in less time with convection heat. NOTE: The convection fan will cycle on and off while cooking to best distribute hot air in the oven. The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened. Multi-Rack Convection Baking Multi-rack position. The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food. When convection baking with only 1 rack, use the rack positions recommended in the Using the oven section. I Ideal for evenly browned baked foods cooked on 1 rack and for large foods. Additionally, some time savings may be noticed. I Good results with cookies, biscuits, muffins, brownies, cupcakes, cream puffs, sweet rolls, angel food cake and bread. 1-Rack Convection Baking

Cookware for Convection Cooking Before using your convection oven, check to see if your cookware leaves room for air circulation in the oven. If you are baking with several pans, leave space between them. Also, be sure the pans do not touch each other or the walls of the oven. Paper and Plastic Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers that are recommended for use in regular baking can also be used for convection baking, but should not be used at temperatures higher than the temperature recommended by the cookware manufacturer. Plastic cookware that is heat-resistant to temperatures of 400°F (204°C) can also be used. Metal and Glass Any type of cookware will work in your convection oven. However, metal pans heat the fastest and are recommended for convection baking. I Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake faster than shiny pans. I Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly. For recipes like oven-baked chicken, use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot circulate well around food in a pan with high sides. How to Set the Oven for Convection Baking or Roasting OR Convection Roast I Good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered. The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food. Meat and poultry are browned on all sides as if they were cooked on a rotisserie. The heated air seals in juices quickly for a moist and tender product while, at the same time, creating a rich golden brown exterior. When you are convection roasting, it is important that you use a broiler pan and grid designed for broiling for best convection roasting results. The pan is used to catch grease spills, and the grid is used to prevent grease spatters while heated air circulates under the meat to increase browning on the underside of the meat or poultry. I Place the oven rack in the position that centers the food between the top and bottom of the oven. When baking cookies, you will get the best results if you use a flat cookie sheet instead of a pan with low sides. 21 ge.com (U.S.) www.GEAppliances.ca (Canada) NOTE: When convection baking, the oven temperature will be 25°F (14°C) lower than the set temperature.

Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support The proofing feature maintains a warm environment useful for rising yeast-leavened products. How to Set the Oven For Proofing Place the covered dough in a dish in the oven on rack B or C. NOTE: For best results, cover the dough with a cloth or with greased plastic wrap (the plastic may need to be anchored underneath the container so the oven fan will not blow it off). Touch the PROOF pad and then the START pad. The display will read PrF (proof). The oven interior light turns on and remains on during proofing. The proofing feature automatically provides the optimum temperature for the proofing process, and therefore does not have a temperature adjustment. Set the KITCHEN TIMER ON/OFF for the minimum proof time. When proofing is finished, touch the CLEAR/OFF pad. I To avoid lowering the oven temperature and lengthening proofing time, do not open the oven door unnecessarily. I Check bread products early to avoid over-proofing. NOTE: I Do not use the proofing mode for warming food or keeping food hot. The proofing oven temperature is not hot enough to hold foods at safe temperatures. Use the WARM feature to keep food warm. I Proofing will not operate when oven is above 125°F (52°C). “HOT” will show in the display. How to Set the Oven For Warming The WARM feature keeps cooked foods hot. This feature is not designed to reheat cold food. To use the WARM feature, touch the WARM pad and then the START pad. To use the WARM feature after Timed Baking or Roasting, follow these steps: Touch the mode of cooking that you want to use (BAKE, CONVECTION BAKE MULTI/1 RACK or CONVECTION ROAST). Touch the number pads to set the oven temperature. Touch the COOKING TIME pad. Touch the number pads to set the desired length of cooking time. Touch the WARM pad. Touch the START pad. To Crisp Stale Items I Place food in low-sided dishes or pans. I For best results, place the food items in a single layer. Do not stack. I Leave them uncovered. I Check crispness after 20–30 minutes. Add time as needed. IMPORTANT NOTES: I Food should be kept hot in its cooking container or transferred to a heat-safe serving dish. I For moist foods, cover them with an oven-safe lid or aluminum foil. I Fried or crisp foods do not need to be covered, but can become too dry if warmed for too long. I Repeated opening of the door allows the hot air to escape and the food to cool. I Allow extra time for the temperature inside the oven to stabilize after adding items. I With large loads it may be necessary to cover some of the cooked food items. I Remove serving spoons, etc., before placing containers in the oven. I Do not use plastic containers, lids or plastic wrap. CAUTION: Plastic containers, lids or plastic wrap will melt if placed in the oven. Melted plastic may not be removable and is not covered under your warranty. 25 Using the proofing ge.com (U.S.) and warming features. (on some models) www.GEAppliances.ca (Canada)

Operating Instructions Safety Instructions 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 F (11–22 degrees C). NOTE: This adjustment will only affect baking, convection baking (on some models) and convection roasting (on some models) temperatures; it will not affect broiling or self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure. To Adjust the Thermostat Touch the BROIL HI/LO and BAKE pads at the same time for 3 seconds until the display shows SF. Touch the BAKE pad. A two-digit number shows in the display. Touch BAKE again to alternate between increasing and decreasing the oven temperature. The oven temperature can be adjusted up to (+) 35ºF (19°C) hotter or (-) 35ºF (19°C) cooler. Touch the number pads the same way you read them. For example, to change the oven temperature 15ºF (8°C), touch 1 and 5. When you have made the adjustment, touch the START pad to go back to the time of day display. Use your oven as you would normally. + 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. U.S. 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.

Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support The oven door must be closed and all controls set correctly for the cycle to work properly. Before a Clean Cycle Remove broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware, probe and any aluminum foil from the oven—they cannot withstand the high cleaning temperatures. NOTE: I The shiny, silver-colored oven racks (on some models) can be self-cleaned, but they will darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide. I If your oven is equipped with gray porcelain-coated oven racks, they may be left in the oven during the self-clean cycle. 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. Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom. How to Set the Oven for Cleaning Turn all of the surface burners off.

The grates may be washed either in the dishwasher or you may wash them in hot soapy water and rinse with clean water. You may also use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads to clean burner grates and the vent grille. Dry the grates and grille with a cloth—don’t put them back on the cooktop wet. To get rid of burned-on food, place the grates and grille in a covered container. Add 1/4 cup (59 mL) ammonia and let them soak several hours or overnight. Wash, rinse well and dry. Although they’re durable, the grates and grille will gradually lose their shine, regardless of the best care you can give them. This is due to their continual exposure to high temperatures. Do not operate a burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat. After cleaning, replace the center vent grille first. Replace the side grates so that the center extensions are oriented toward the center of the cooktop. The rear center extensions should slightly overlap the vent grille. Make sure the grates are positioned securely over the burners and that they are stable and level.

Oven floor 36 Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips Care and Cleaning Operating Instructions Safety Instructions Care and cleaning of the range. 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. To clean the inside of the door: I Because the area inside the gasket is cleaned during the self-clean cycle, you do not need to clean this by hand. I 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: I 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. I If any stain on the door vent trim is persistent, use a soft abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results. I 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. I Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning powders or harsh abrasives on the outside of the door. Lift-Off Oven Door Cleaning the Oven Door The door is very heavy. Be careful when removing and lifting the door. Do not lift the door by the handle. To remove the door: Fully open the door. Pull the hinge locks down toward the door frame, to the unlocked position.

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.
