In the event of a power failure, the oven is inoperable and no attempt should be made to operate it. However, the surface burners may be lit with a match. using extreme caution, hold a lit match near the ports beneath the surface burner cap, then slowly turn the knob to the LITE position. Once lit, surface burners will continue to operate normally
Lighting a Surface Burner
WARNING Burners should be operated only when covered by cookware. Burner flames not covered by cookware present a risk of fire or clothing ignition. Never let flames extend beyond the sides of the cookware. Failure to comply may result in serious injury.
Make sure all burners are in their correct locations and fully assembled before attempting to operate any burner. Select a burner and find its control knob. Push the knob in and turn it to the LITE position.
You will hear a clicking noise – the sound of the electric spark igniting the burner. When one burner is turned to LITE, all burners will spark. Sparking will continue as long as the knob remains at LITE. Once gas is ignited, turn the knob to adjust the flame size.
Selecting a Flame Size
Size Watch the flame, not the knob, as you adjust heat. When rapid heating is desired, the flame size should match the size of the cookware you are using. Flames larger than the bottom of the cookware will not heat faster and may be hazardous.
Using the Surface Burners
NOTES:
Do not operate the burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may discolor or chip without cookware to absorb the heat.
Do not attempt to disassemble any burner is on. Damage to the product may occur.
Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you place your hand, a pot holder or cleaning materials on them.
Your rangetop offers convenience, cleanability and flexibility for a wide range of cooking applications.
The smallest burner is the simmer burner. A simmer burner turned down to LO provides precise cooking performance for foods such as delicate sauces that require low heat for a long cooking time.
The extra-large burner is designed to quickly bring large amounts of liquid to a boil. Some models have a POWER BOIL™ setting especially designed for use with cookware with a diameter of 11 inches or larger.
Types of Surface Burners
Multi-Ring Burner (some models)
For large cookware, activate all rings by setting set the burner between Hi and Med.
For small cookware or low heating applications, only activate the inner rings by setting the burner between Lo and Sim.
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.
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 or as the manufacturer recommends.
Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give satisfactory results.
Enamelware: Under some conditions of some cookware may melt. Follow the 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 the cookware manufacturer’s directions to be sure it can be used on gas ranges
Stove Top Grills
Do not use an after-market stove top grill on your gas surface burners. A stove top grill will cause incomplete combustion resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable standards. This could be hazardous to your health.
Using a Wok
Use only a flat-bottomed wok with a diameter of 14 inches or less. Make sure the wok bottom sits flat on the grate.
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 hazardous to your health.
Using Your Cast Iron Griddle (on some models)
The ribbed side of the reversible griddle can be used for food normally grilled.
Your griddle provides an extra-large cooking surface for meats, pancakes, and other foods usually prepared in a skillet. Before first use, rinse with hot water and dry thoroughly. Prepare the surface with cooking spray or vegetable oil.
Griddle Precautions:
Positioning Your Griddle
The cast-iron griddle can only be used over the center burner(s) of the rangetop. to position the griddle, remove the center grate (if present), and replace it with the griddle. Do not turn on the center burner(s) until you are certain the griddle has been positined correctly.
Preheating Your Griddle
For models with a non-reversible griddle, preheat your griddle by setting both center burners to 4 for 5-10 minutes before placing food on the griddle. For models with a reversible griddle, preheat your griddle by setting your center burner to Hi for 5-10 minutes before placing food on the griddle. Once the griddle is preheated, turn the knob on the burner(s) to the cook setting outlined in the table.
Preseasoned Cast-Iron Griddle
With a reversible griddle, preheat your griddle by setting your center burner to Hi for 5-10 minutes before placing food on the griddle. Once the griddle is prehead, turn the knob on the burner(s) to the cook setting outlined in the table.
Preseasoned Reversible Cast-Iron Griddle
Using Your Nonstick Aluminum Griddle (on some models)
Your griddle provides an extra-large cooking surface for meats, pancakes, and other foods usually prepared in a skillet. Before first use, rinse with hot water and dry thoroughly.
Griddle Precautions:
Positioning Your Griddle
The nonstick aluminum griddle (on some models) can only be used over the center burner of the rangetop. To position the griddle, remove the center grate (if present), and replace it with the griddle. Do not turn on the center burner until you are certain the griddle has been positioned correctly.
Preheating Your Griddle
If your center burner is a single oval burner, preheat your griddle for 2-5 minutes on Hi before placing food on the griddle. If your center burner is a dual oval burner, preheat your griddle for 5-10 minutes on Hi before placing food on the griddle. Once the griddle is preheated, turn the heat down to the cook setting outlined in the table corresponding to your griddle. To determine the type of burner you have, see the Types of Surface Burners section.

Recommended rack positions for various types of foods are provided in the Cooking Guide. Adjusting rack position is one way to impact cooking results. For example, if you would prefer darker tops on cakes, muffins, or cookies, try moving food one rack position higher. If you find foods are too brown on top try moving them down next time.
When baking with multiple pans and on multiple racks, ensure there is at least 1½" between pans to allow sufficient space for air to flow.
Your Oven may have extension racks and/or traditonal flat racks.
To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
Aluminum Foil and Oven Liners
Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a sheet on a lower rack, several inches below the food. Do not use more foil than necessary and never entirely cover an oven rack with aluminum foil. Keep foil at least 1-1/2" from oven walls to prevent poor heat circulation
Bake
The traditional bake mode is intended for single rack cooking. This mode uses heat primarily from the lower element but also from the upper element to cook food.
Preheating is generally recommended when using this mode. To use this mode press the Bake pad, enter a temperature with the number pads, and then press Start.
Convection Bake
This mode is intended for single rack baking when additional airflow is desired to enhance evenness.
Preheating is generally recommended when using this mode. To use this mode press the Conv Bake pad, enter a temperature with number pads, and then press Start.
Convection Roast
This mode is intended for roasting whole cuts of meat on a single rack. The utilization of all three elements and direct airflow down from the top of the oven improves browning and reduces cooking time. Check food earlier than the recipe suggests or use the probe when using this mode. To use this mode press the Conv Roast pad, enter a temperature with number pads, and then press Start.
Broiling Modes
Always broil with the door closed. The broil element in this oven is very powerful. Monitor food closely while broiling. Use caution when broiling on upper rack positions as placing food closer to the broil element increases smoking, spattering, and the possibility of fats igniting. Broiling on rack position 6 is not recommended.
Broiling can be used for foods that would typically be grilled.
Adjust the rack position in order to vary the intensity of the heat to the food. Place foods closer to the broil element when a seared surface and rare interior are desired. For best performance center the food below the broil heating element.
Press the Broil pad twice for High or once for Low depending on the amount of searing and the internal temperature that is preferred. The High setting is best for thinner cuts of meat and/or foods you prefer less done on the interior. The Low setting is preferred for thicker cuts of meat and foods you like to be cooked all the way through. It is not necessary to preheat the oven for these modes. Then press Start.
Air Fry
Air Fry is a special, no-preheat, cooking mode that is designed to produce foods with a crispier exterior than traditional oven cooking. The Air Fry mode is intended for single rack cooking only. Select Air Fry, then input the desired set temperature and press Start. The temperature can be set between 300°F and 500°F. Preheating is not recommended for this mode. Follow traditional oven recipe or package guidelines for set temperatures and cook times; adjust cook time to achieve your desired crispness. Additional guidelines for using this mode can be found in the Cooking Guide.
Warm
Warm mode is designed to keep hot foods at a higher temperature for up to 3 hours. Preheating is not required. Do not use warm to heat cold food other than crisping crackers, chips, or dry cereal. It is also recommended that food not be kept warm for more than 2 hours. Press the Warm pad and then press Start.
Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. They provide the air inlet and outlet that are necessary for the range to keep cool and 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.
Oven Cookware Guidelines The material, finish, and size of cookware affect baking performance. Dark, coated and dull pans absorb heat more readily than light, shiny pans. Pans that absorb heat more readily can result in a browner, crisper, and thicker crust. If using dark and coated cookware check food earlier than minimum cook time. If undesirable results are obtained with this type of cookware consider reducing oven temperature by 25°F next time.
Shiny pans can produce more evenly cooked baked goods such as cakes and cookies.
Glass and ceramic pans heat slowly but retain heat well. These types of pans work well for dishes such as pies and custards.
Air insulated pans heat slowly and can reduce bottom browning.
Keep cookware clean to promote even heating.
Stoneware heats slowly and retains heat well. It is recommended to preheat this type of cookware if possible. Additional cook time may be required.
Cookware used in broil modes and air fry must be broil- safe.
*When baking four cake layers at a time, stagger the pans as shown to the right so that one pan is not directly above another.
Air Fry Cooking Guide
Air Fry is a special, no-preheat, cooking mode that is designed to produce foods with a crispier exterior than traditional oven cooking. Select Air Fry, then input the desired set temperature and press Start. The temperature can be set between 300°F and 500°F.
Air Fry Cookware Guidelines
General Tips for Air Fry Mode
Be sure all controls are off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.
WARNING If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the anti-tip device is reengaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to take this precaution could result in tipping of the range and can result in death or serious burns to children or adults.
Control Lockout
If desired, the touch pads may be deactivated before cleaning.
See Lock Controls in the Oven Controls section in this manual.
Clean up splatters with a damp cloth.
You may also use a glass cleaner.
Remove heavier soil with warm, soapy water. Do not use abrasives of any kind.
Reactivate the touch pads after cleaning.
Control Panel
It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use. Clean with mild soap and water or vinegar and water, rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers, plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control panel-they will damage the finish, including Black Stainless Steel.
Oven Exterior
Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers, steel wool, plastic scouring pads, or cleaning powders on the interior or exterior of the oven.
Clean with a mild soap and water or vinegar and water solution. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. When cleaning surfaces, make sure that they are at room temperature and not in direct sunlight.
If stain on the door vent trim is persistent, use a mild abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results.
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. Let hot surfaces cool, then clean and rinse.
Painted Surfaces
Painted surfaces include the sides of the range and the door, top of control panel and the drawer front. Clean these with soap and water or a vinegar and water solution.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners, cleaning powders, steel wool or harsh abrasives on any painted surface, including Black Stainless Steel.
Stainless Steel excluding Black Stainless Steel (on some models)
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.
Cleaners with oxalic acid such as Bar Keepers Friend Soft Cleanser™ will remove surface rust, tarnish and small blemishes. Use only a liquid cleanser free of grit and rub in the direction of the brush lines with a damp, soft sponge.
To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.
To inquire about purchasing cleaning products including stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish, see the Accessories and Consumer Support sections at the end of this manual.
The interior of your new oven can be cleaned manually or by using Self Clean mode.
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. Let hot surfaces cool, then clean and rinse.
Manual Cleaning
Do not use oven cleaners, strong liquid cleansers, steel wool, or scouring pads on the interior of the oven. For soils on the oven bottom and other enameled surfaces, use a gentle abrasive containing oxalic acid, such as Bar Keepers Friend®, with a non-scratch sponge. Take care not to apply any abrasive cleaners or sponges to the door glass, as it will scratch the reflective coating. The oven interior and door glass may be cleaned using a soft cloth with a mild soap and water, or vinegar and water solution. After cleaning, rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
Steam Clean Mode (on some models)
The Steam Clean feature is for cleaning light soil from your oven at a lower temperature than Self Clean.
To use the Steam Clean feature:
You cannot open the door during 30 minutes Steam Clean cycle. At the end of the Steam Clean cycle, soak up the remaining water, and wipe the moisture-softened soil from the oven walls and door.
Self Clean Mode
Read Self-Cleaning Oven Safety Instructions at the beginning of this manual before using the Self Clean Mode. Self Clean uses very high temperatures to clean the oven interior. Only self-clean (black) racks and grates may remain in the oven during the self-clean cycle. All other items, including nickel plated (sliver) racks, should be removed. If nicked plated (siver) racks are left in the oven during a self-clean cycle, the racks will tarnish. If either type of rack is left in the oven during a self-clean cycle, the rack may become difficult to slide. See the Oven Racks section for instructions on how to improve.
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.
To use the Self Clean feature:
You cannot open the door during the self-clean cycle. The door will remain locked after the self-clean cycle until the oven cools below the unlocking temperature. At the end of the self-clean cycle, allow the oven to cool and wipe any ash out of the oven.
Racks
All racks can be washed with warm, soapy water. Enameled (not shiny) racks can be left in the cavity during self clean.
Racks may be more difficult to slide, especially after a self-clean. Put some vegetable oil on a soft cloth or paper towel and rub onto the left and right edges.
Removal of Surface Burners for Cleaning
Turn all controls OFF. Allow cooktop to cool before removing grates and burner parts. When removing the burner caps and heads, remember their size and location. Replace them in the same location after cleaning.
CAUTION Do not attempt to remove oval burner cap from burner head.
Cleaning the Surface Burners

Wash burner caps in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. You may scour with a plastic scouring pad to remove burned-on food particles. The round burner caps may also be cleaned in your dishwasher.
Cleaning the Burner Heads
Wash the burner heads routinely, especially after bad spillovers which could clog the burner openings. Lift burners off when cool. Wash with hot, soapy water. Rinse with clean water. For more stubborn stains, use a brush with plastic bristles.
NOTE: Do not use steel wool or scouring pads to clean the burner parts as these may clog the openings. Never wash burner heads in your dishwasher as dishwasher. Doing so may cause them to discolor.
The ports in the burner heads must be kept clean at all times for an even, unhampered flame.
Clogged or dirty burner ports or electrodes will not allow the burner to operate properly.
Replacing Surface Burners
Before replacing the burner caps, heads and oval head/cap assembly, shake out excess water and allow them to dry thoroughly.
Replace burner heads in the correct locations according to size. Ensure each cap is properly seated on the burner head, as pictured below.
CAUTION Do not operate the cooktop without all burner parts and grates in place.
Any spill on or around an electrode must be carefully cleaned. Avoid hitting the electrode with anything hard or it could be damaged.
Burner Grates
Manual Cleaning
Grates should be washed in hot, soapy water and rinsed with clean water. To soften burned-on food, place grates in a solution containing ¼-cup of household ammonia for several hours. Afterward, scrub grates with a plastic scouring pad soaked in hot, soapy water. Rinse well and dry.
Self Clean Mode
Your grates may be cleaned in the oven using the self-clean cycle.
NOTE: When placing or removing grates from the oven, do not slide the grates on the racks or oven bottom. Doing so could damage the enamel on the racks or oven bottom.
To self clean your grates on self-clean racks:
To self clean your grates on the oven bottom:
Once the grates are placed in the oven, operate the self-clean cycle per the instruction in the Cleaning the Oven section.
Once the self-clean cycle is complete, the grates may carefully be removed. You may notice a white residue on
the grates. Wipe it off with a damp sponge. If white spots persist, wet the sponge with a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water and wipe the grates again.
When replacing the grates on the cooktop, be sure to locate them correctly. Grates should fit securely into the cooktop
Grate Support Bumpers (on some models)
If any of the rubber grate support bumpers in the cooktop are missing or damaged, replacement parts can be obtained by calling GE Appliances at 1.800.GE.CARES (1.800.432.2737)
To insert the new bumpers, simply place the cone shaped end of the bumper into the hole in the cooktop and push down while gently twisting the bumper.
Griddles (on some models)
Aluminum and Reversible Cast-Iron: Clean your reversible cast-iron griddle with a stiff brush and hot water. Using soap is not recommended, and hash detergents should never be used as they will remove the seasoning. Rinse with hot water and dry thoroughly. After rinsing, preseason the griddle by applying a light coat of cooking oil to the griddle surface. Wipe off excess oil with a paper towel.
Store in a cool, dry place.
Griddle Precautions:
Cleaning the Oven Door
