IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
Have the installer show you the location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off if necessary.
■ Have your range installed and properly
grounded by a qualified installer, in
accordance with the Installation Instructions.
Any adjustment and service should be

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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.
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 technician in
accordance with the provided installation
instructions.
■ Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of your range unless it is specifically
recommended in this 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.
■ 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.

■ Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path
and out of drafty locations to prevent poor
air circulation.
■ Be sure all packaging materials are
removed from the range before operating it
to prevent fire or smoke damage should the
packaging material ignite.
■ 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 of
the range section.
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.
■ 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.
■ Do not leave children alone or unattended
where a range is hot or in operation. They
could be seriously burned.
■ Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang
on the oven door, 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.
■ For your safety, never use your appliance
for warming or heating the room.
■ Large scratches or impacts to glass doors
can lead to broken or shattered glass.
■ 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.
■ Do not store flammable materials in an
oven, a range drawer or near a cooktop.
■ Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
■ Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate in or
near the range.
■ Do not use water on grease fires. Never
pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.
Smother a flaming pan on a surface 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.
■ 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 upper oven or lower oven
drawer can be smothered completely by
closing the oven door or drawer and turning
the control to off, or by using a multi-
purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.
■ Let the burner grates and other surfaces
cool before touching them or leaving them
where children can reach them.
■ 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 lower oven drawer or kick panel.
■ Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop
can lead to damage and improper operation
of the range.

Troubleshooting Tips
Consumer Support
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.
■ Always use the LITE position when igniting
the top burners and make sure the burners
have ignited.
■ Never leave the surface burners unattended
at high flame settings. Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that may
catch on fire.
■ Adjust the top burner flame size so it does
not extend beyond the edge of the
cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous.
■ 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.
■ When using glass cookware, make sure it
is designed for top-of-range cooking.
■ 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.
■ Carefully watch foods being fried at a high
flame setting.
■ Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
■ 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.
■ If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in frying, stir together before heating or
as fats melt slowly.
■ Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
■ Use the least possible amount of fat for
effective shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling
the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers
when food is added.
■ Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you do
flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
■ 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.
■ 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.
■ Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially
a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
■ Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop—
they may melt if left too close to the vent.
■ Keep all plastics away from the surface
burners.
■ 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.
■ If range is located near a window, do not
hang long curtains that could blow over the
surface burners and create a fire hazard.
■ 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.
■ Always turn the surface burner controls off
before removing cookware.
WARNING!
■ The purpose of the warming drawer and
WARM ZONE setting of the lower oven
drawer is to hold hot cooked foods at
serving temperature. Always start with hot
food; cold food cannot be heated or cooked
in the warming drawer or the WARM ZONE
setting of the lower oven drawer.
■ Do not use the lower oven drawer to dry
newspapers. If overheated, they can catch
on fire.
■ Do not leave paper products, plastics,
canned food or combustible materials in
the drawer.
■ Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in
or near your lower oven drawer.
■ Do not warm food in the lower oven drawer
for more than two hours.
■ Do not touch the heating element or the
interior surface of the lower oven drawer.
These surfaces may be hot enough to burn.
REMEMBER: The inside surface of the lower
oven drawer may be hot when the drawer
is opened.
■ Use care when opening the lower oven
drawer. Open the drawer a crack and let
hot air or steam escape before removing
or replacing food. Hot air or steam which
escapes can cause burns to hands, face
and/or eyes.
■ Do not use aluminum foil to line the lower
oven drawer. Foil is an excellent heat
insulator and will trap heat beneath it. This
will upset the performance of the drawer
and it could damage the interior finish.
■ Never place, use or self-clean the lower oven
drawer pan in the upper oven.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
■ Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before
self-cleaning operation.
■ Before self-cleaning the oven, remove
the shelves, any broiler pan, grid and
other cookware.
■ Never place, use or self-clean the lower oven
drawer pan in the upper oven.
■ Do not clean the door gasket. The door
gasket is essential for a good seal. Care
should be taken not to rub, damage or
move the gasket.
■ Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s

■ If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions,
turn the oven off and disconnect the power
supply. Have it serviced by a qualified
technician.
■ Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial
oven cleaner or oven liner 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.
SELF-CLEANING UPPER OVEN
■ Do not use the oven for a storage area.
Items stored in the oven can ignite.
■ Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
■ Place the oven shelves in the desired
position while the oven is cool. If shelves
must be handled when hot, do not let
pot holder contact the heating elements.
■ Pulling out the shelf to the stop-lock is a
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also
a precaution against burns from touching
hot surfaces of the door or oven walls. The
lowest position “R” is not designed to slide.
■ Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
■ When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.
■ Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch fire.
■ Do not leave paper products, cooking
utensils or food in the oven when not in use.
■ Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
■ Make sure any broiler pan is in place
correctly to reduce the possibility of
grease fires.
■ 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.
■ Never place, use or self-clean the lower oven
drawer pan in the upper oven.
Stand away from the range when opening the door of a hot oven. The hot air and steam that escape can
cause burns to hands, face and eyes.

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.
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. When fast heating is desired,
the flame size on a gas burner should
match the cookware you are using.
Flames larger than the bottom of the
cookware will not result in faster heating of
the cookware and could be hazardous.

How to Light a Gas Surface Burner
Make sure all the surface burners are
placed in their respective positions.
Push the control knob in and turn it to
the LITE position.
You will hear a little clicking noise—
the sound of the electric spark igniting
the burner.
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.
Before Lighting a Gas Burner
■ Make sure all burners are in place.
■ Make sure all grates on the range are
properly placed before using any burner.
After Lighting a Gas Burner
■ 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.
■ Be sure the burners and grates are cool
before you place your hand, a pot holder,
cleaning cloths or other materials on
them.
Sealed Gas Burners
Your gas range cooktop has five 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 down 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 down 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
four burners, it can be turned down 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.
The center oval burner is the largest in
size and is for large oval pots/pans, round
pots/pans 10″ or greater in diameter or
to be used with the griddle.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
■ Avoid cooking extremely greasy foods and be
careful of grease spillover while cooking.
■ Do not use oil on the griddle for extended lengths
of time. Permanent staining and/or craze lines on
the surface could result.
■ Never place or store any items on the griddle,
even when it is not in use. The griddle can
become heated when using the surrounding
burners.
■ Do not overheat the griddle. Leaving the
griddle burner on at HI for an extended amount
of time without food can damage the non-stick
coating
.
■ Avoid using metal utensils with sharp points
or rough, sharp edges that might damage the
griddle surface.
■ Do not cut foods on the griddle.

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.
Using the gas surface burners.
ge.com
Wok This Way
We recommend that you use a 14-inch 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 wok 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.

To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
Before you begin…
The shelves have stop-locks, 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 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.
NOTE: The shelf is not designed to slide out at the
special low shelf (R) position.
Upper Oven Vent
Your oven is vented through ducts at the
rear of the range. Do not block these ducts
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.
■ Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop may
become hot if left too close to the vent.
■ Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop—
they may melt if left too close to the vent.
■ 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.
■ Metal items will become very hot if they are
left on the cooktop, and could cause burns.

Roasting A or B
The oven has a special low shelf (R)
position just above the oven bottom.
Use it when extra cooking space is
needed, for example, when cooking
a large turkey. The shelf is not
designed to slide out at this position.
Using the upper oven.
Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct
temperature. Preheating is necessary when
baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.
For ovens without a preheat indicator light or tone,
preheat 10 minutes.
Baking results will be better if baking pans
are centered in the oven as much as
possible. Pans should not touch each other
or the walls of the oven. If you need to
use two shelves, stagger the pans so one
is not directly above the other, and leave
approximately 1
1
⁄2″ between pans, from
the front, back and sides of the wall.
Aluminum Foil
Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of the oven.
Do not use aluminum foil to catch spillovers
when using the CircuWave fan. The foil
will be sucked toward the convection fan.
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.
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.

Use of probes other than the one provided
with this product may result in damage to
the probe.
Use the handles of the probe and plug
when inserting and removing them from
the food and outlet.
■ To avoid damaging your probe, do not use tongs
to pull on the cable when removing it.
■ To avoid breaking the probe, make sure food is
completely defrosted before inserting.
■ To prevent possible burns, do not unplug the
probe from the outlet until the oven has cooled.
■ Never leave your probe inside the oven during
a self-cleaning cycle.
■ Do not store the probe in the oven.

For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal food temperature is the best test for doneness.
The temperature probe takes the guesswork out of roasting by cooking foods to the exact doneness you want.
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 the 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.

To help you understand the difference
between convection bake and roast and
traditional bake and roast, here are some
general guidelines.
Convection Bake
■ Preheat the oven. See the Using the Oven–
Preheating and Pan Placement section.
■ Ideal for foods cooked on multiple shelves.
■ Good for large quantities of baked foods.
■ Good results with cookies, biscuits, brownies,
cupcakes, cream puffs, sweet rolls, angel food
cake and bread.
The convection fan circulates the heated
air evenly over and around the food.
Convection Roast
■ Good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.
■ Oven door must be closed for convection roasting.
The convection fan circulates the heated air
evenly over and around the food. Heated
air will be circulated over and around the
food being roasted. The heated air seals
in juices quickly for a moist and tender
product while, at the same time, creating
a rich golden brown exterior.
Roasts or poultry should be cooked on shelf
position (A).
When you are convection roasting, it is
important that you use a broiler pan and
grid for best convection roasting results.
The pan is used to catch grease spills and
the grid is used to prevent grease spatters.
■ Place the shelf in shelf position (A).
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 than with regular heat.

or
When convection baking with only
1 shelf, follow the shelf positions
recommended in the Using the
Oven section.
Using the convection oven.
Multi-Shelf Baking
Because heated air is circulated evenly
throughout the oven, foods can be baked
with excellent results using multiple shelves.
Multi-shelf baking may increase cook times
slightly for some foods but the overall result
is time saved. Cookies, muffins, biscuits, and
other quick breads give very good results
with multi-shelf baking.
When baking larger foods on 3 shelves,
place one shelf in the 2nd (A) position,
one on the 4th (C) position and the third
shelf in the 6th (E) position.
When baking cookies, place the shelves in
the 4th (C), 5th (D), and 6th (E) positions.
How to Set the Upper Oven for Convection Baking or Roasting
Touch the CONVECTION BAKE or
CONVECTION ROAST pad.
Touch the number pads to set
the desired oven temperature.
Remember to adjust baking
temperature accordingly. See the
Adapting Recipes section.
Touch the START pad.
To change the oven temperature, touch the
CONVECTION BAKE or CONVECTION ROAST
pad and then the number pads to set the
new temperature.
When the oven starts to heat the changing
temperature, starting at 100°F, will be
displayed. When the oven reaches the
temperature you set, 3 beeps will sound.
Touch the CLEAR/OFF pad when
finished.
NOTE: You will hear a fan while cooking with
convection. The fan will stop when the door is
opened but the heat will not turn off.
The fan will not start until the preheat temperature
is reached.
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
ovens can be used in convection ovens.
Plastic cookware that is heat-resistant to
temperatures of 400°F can also be used,
when oven is below 400°F.
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.
■ Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake faster
than shiny pans.
■ Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.
When baking cookies, you will get the best
results if you use a flat cookie sheet instead
of a pan with low sides.
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.

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.
To Adjust the Thermostat
Touch the BAKE and BROIL HI/LO 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 once to decrease (-)
the oven temperature, or twice to
increase (+).
The oven temperature can be adjusted
up as much as 35°F or down as much
as 35°F. Touch the number pads the
same way you read them. For example,
to change the oven temperature 15°F,
touch 1 and 5.
When you have made the adjustment,
touch the START pad to go back to the

you would normally.
NOTE: The thermostat adjustment for Baking
will also affect Convection Baking or Convection

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.
Adjust the upper oven thermostat—Do it yourself!

Before a Clean Cycle
For the first self-clean cycle, we recommend
venting your kitchen with an open window
or using a ventilation fan or hood.
Remove the shelves, any broiler pan,
broiler grid, probe, all cookware and
any aluminum foil from the oven.
The oven shelves can be self-cleaned,
but they will darken, lose their luster
and become hard to slide.
Soil on the front frame of the range and
outside the gasket on the door will need
to be cleaned by hand. Clean these areas
with hot water, soap-filled 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.

To avoid damaging the porcelain enamel
surface of the cooktop and to prevent it from
becoming dull, clean up spills right away.
Foods with a lot of acid (tomatoes, sauerkraut,
fruit juices, etc.) or foods with high sugar

Burner Grates
Your range has three professional-style double
grates. These grates are position-specific. For
maximum stability, these grates should only be
used in their proper position; they cannot be
interchanged left to right or front to back. For
convenience, the undersides of the left and
right grates are marked “LEFT FRONT” and
“RIGHT FRONT.” Make sure the front
portion of both grates is in front. The middle
grate has a bow in front. Make sure the bowed
portion is toward the front of the range.
Cleaning
Lift out when cool. Grates should be washed
regularly and, of course, after spillovers. Wash
them in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean
water. When replacing the grates, be sure they
are positioned securely over the burners.
Replace the grates so that continuous arcs are
formed with the center ribs of all three grates.
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.
To get rid of burned-on food, place the grates
in a covered container. Add 1/4 cup ammonia
and let them soak several hours or overnight.
Wash, rinse well and dry.
Although they are durable, the grates
will gradually lose their shine, regardless
of the best care you can give them. This
is due to their continual exposure to high
temperatures. You will notice this sooner
with lighter color grates.
NOTE: Do not clean the grates in a self-cleaning oven.
The grates may be cleaned in a
dishwasher.

Griddle
NOTES:
■ The griddle is to be used over the center
burner only.
■ Do not clean the griddle in a dishwasher.
■ Wash with hot, soapy water after each use
while using a sponge or dishcloth.
■ If oil or food residue is left on the griddle,
further cooking will harden the residue and cause
sticking over time. In this case, use a non-abrasive
cleanser such as Bon Ami
®
or one of the soft
scrub cleansers. Apply with a sponge, Scrunge
®
or other cleaning pad labeled safe for non-
stick pans.
■ Use only plastic, nylon or wooden utensils or
SilverStone
®
kitchen tools to prevent marring
of the coating.
■ Never use knives or cut food on the griddle.
Wash with hot, soapy water after each use.
Store carefully to prevent scratching.
Griddle Precautions:
■ If something has spilled under the griddle, it
should be cleaned up as soon as possible to
prevent “baked on” food soil.
■ Do not allow grease to accumulate under the
griddle as it can be a fire hazard. Clean under the
griddle as soon as it is cool. Clean with hot soapy
water.
■ Do not place your griddle in the microwave.
■ Always turn off all surface burners before
removing the griddle. Use caution when handling
a hot griddle.

Oven Heating Elements
Do not clean the bake element or the broil element.
Any soil will burn off when the elements are heated.
To clean the oven floor, gently lift the bake
element. Clean with warm soapy water.
Lift-Off Oven Door
The oven door is removable, but it is heavy. You may
need help removing and replacing the door.
Do not lift the door by the handle. Make sure the
oven is completely cool.
To remove the door, open it a few inches to
the special stop position that will hold the
door open. Grasp firmly on each side and
lift the door straight up and off the hinges.
NOTE: Be careful not to place hands between the
hinge and the oven door frame as the hinge could
snap back and pinch fingers.
To replace the door, make sure the hinges
are in the special stop position. Position the
slots in the bottom of the door squarely
over the hinges. Then lower the door slowly
and evenly over both hinges at the same
time. If the hinges snap back against the
oven frame, pull them back out.
To clean the inside of the door:
■ Do not allow excess water to run into
any holes or slots in the door.
■ Because the area inside the gasket is
cleaned during the self-clean cycle, you
do not need to clean this by hand. Any
soap left on the liner causes additional
stains when the oven is heated.
■ The area outside the gasket can
be cleaned with a soap-filled plastic
scouring pad.
Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid
content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit
juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface.
They may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
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.
■ Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato
sauces and basting materials containing
acids may cause discoloration and should
be wiped up immediately. When the
surface is cool, clean and rinse.
■ Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing
powders or harsh abrasives on the
outside of the door.
Lift the door straight up and off the
hinges.
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.

Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid
cleaners, plastic scouring pads or oven
cleaners on the control panel—they will
damage the finish. A 50/50 solution of
vinegar and hot water works well.
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 insides of the knobs are
dry before replacing.
Replace the knobs in the OFF position
to ensure proper placement.
Metal parts can be cleaned with soap and

Installation of the range.
IMPORTANT!
Remove all tape and packaging. Make sure the burners are properly seated and level.
Take the accessory pack out of the oven.
Check to be sure that no range parts have come loose during shipping.
LOCATION GUIDELINES
Do not locate the range where it may be subject to strong drafts. Any openings in the floor or wall
behind the range should be sealed. Make sure the openings around the base of the range that
supply fresh air for combustion and ventilation are not obstructed by carpeting or woodwork.
Your range, like many other household items,
is heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings
such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting. Use care
when moving the range on this type of flooring.
It is recommended that the following simple and
inexpensive instructions be followed to protect
your floor.
The range should be installed on a sheet of
plywood (or similar material). When the floor
covering ends at the front of the range, the area
that the range will rest on should be built up
with plywood to the same level or higher than
the floor covering.
This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning
or servicing. Also, make sure your floor covering
will withstand 180°F. (See the Installation Safety
Instructions section.)
Make sure the wall coverings around your range
can withstand the heat generated (up to 200°F)
by the range. (See the Installation Safety Instructions
section.)

Recommended area for
through-the-floor connection
of pipe stub/shut-off valve.
Provide Adequate Gas Supply
Make sure you are supplying your range with
the type of gas for which it is designed.
This range is convertible for use on natural or
propane gas. If you decide to use this range on
LP gas, conversion must be made by a qualified
LP installer before attempting to operate the
range on that gas.
For proper operation, the pressure of natural
gas supplied to the regulator must be between
5″ and 13″ of water column.
For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be
between 10″ and 13″ of water column.
When checking for proper operation of the
regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least 1″
greater than the operating (manifold) pressure
as given above.
The pressure regulator located at the inlet of
the range manifold must remain in the supply
line regardless of whether natural or LP gas is
being used.
A flexible metal appliance connector used to
connect the range to the gas supply line should
have an I.D. of 1/2″ and be 5 feet in length for
ease of installation.
Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of 5″ of water column on natural gas or,
if designed for LP gas (propane or butane), 10″ of water column.

Read these instructions completely and carefully.
Connect the Range to the Gas Supply
Because hard piping restricts movement of the
range, the use of a CSA International-certified
flexible metal appliance connector is recommended
unless local codes require a hard-piped connection.
Never use an old connector when installing a
new range. If the hard piping method is used,
you must carefully align the pipe; the range
cannot be moved after the connection is made.
To prevent gas leaks, put pipe joint compound
on, or wrap pipe thread tape with Teflon*
around, all male (external) pipe threads.
Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the
gas line in an easily accessed location outside
of the range. Make sure everyone operating
the range knows where and how to shut off
the gas supply to the range.
Install male 1/2″ flare union adapter to
the 1/2″ NPT internal thread elbow at inlet
of regulator. Use a backup wrench on the
regulator fitting to avoid damage.
When installing the range from the front,
remove the 90° elbow for easier installation.
Install male 1/2″ or 3/4″ flare union
adapter to the NPT internal thread of the
manual shut-off valve, taking care to backup
the shut-off valve to keep it from turning.
Connect flexible metal appliance connector
to the adapter on the range. Position range
to permit connection at the shut-off valve.
When all connections have been made, make
sure all range controls are in the off position
and turn on the main gas supply valve. Use
a liquid leak detector at all joints and
connections to check for leaks in the system.
When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig
to pressure test the gas supply system of the
residence, disconnect the range and individual
shut-off valve from the gas supply piping. When
using test pressures of 1/2 psig or less to test the
gas supply system, simply isolate the range from
the gas supply system by closing the individual
shut-off valve.
*Teflon: Registered trademark of DuPont
CAUTION: DO NOT USE A
FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
Shut off the main gas supply valve before disconnecting the old range and leave it off until the
new hookup has been completed. Don’t forget to relight the pilot on other gas appliances when
you turn the gas back on.
