IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire
or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act requires the Governor of
California to publish a list of substances known
to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm, and requires businesses to
warn customers of potential exposure to such
substances.
The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives
off a very small amount of carbon monoxide
during the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be
minimized by venting with an open window
or using a ventilation fan or hood.
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 oven door, 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.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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,
carefully tip the range forward. The bracket should stop
the range within 4 inches. If it does not, the bracket must be
reinstalled. If the range is pulled from the wall for any reason,
always repeat this procedure to verify the range is properly
secured by the anti-tip bracket.
For free-standing or slide-in ranges, never completely remove
the leveling legs or the range will not be secured to the anti-tip
device properly.
If you did not receive an anti-tip bracket with your purchase,
call 1.800.626.8774 to receive one at no cost (in Canada, call
1.800.561.3344). For installation instructions of the bracket,
visit GEAppliances.com (in Canada, GEAppliances.ca).

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.
■ Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments
while using the appliance. Be careful when
reaching for items stored over the range.
Flammable material could be ignited if brought
in contact with hot surface units or heating
elements and may cause severe burns.
■ Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns
from steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot
surface units or heating elements. Do not use
a towel or other bulky cloth.
■ For your safety, never use your appliance for
warming or heating the room.
■ Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the range.
■ Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick
up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.
Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit by
covering the pan completely with a well-fitting
lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-
purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.
■ Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out
by covering it with baking soda or, if available,
by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or
foam-type fire extinguisher.
■ Flame in the upper oven or lower oven drawer
can be smothered completely by closing the
oven door or drawer and turning the oven off,
or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or
foam-type fire extinguisher.
■ Be sure all packaging materials are
removed from the range before operating
it to prevent fire or smoke damage should
the packaging material ignite.
■ 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 touch the surface units, the heating
elements or the interior surface of the oven.
These surfaces may be hot enough to burn
even though they are dark in color. During and
after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other
flammable materials contact, the surface
units, areas nearby the surface units or any
interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time
for cooling first.
■ Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop,
areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening,
surfaces near the opening, crevices around
the oven door and metal trim parts above
the door.
■ REMEMBER: The inside surface of the oven
may be hot when the door is opened.
■ Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
■ Keep the hood and grease filters clean
to maintain good venting and to avoid
grease fires.
■ 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. 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.
■ Teach children not to play with the controls
or any other part of the range.
■ Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot
holders and other linens a safe distance from
your range.
■ Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and
canned food a safe distance from your range.
■ Always keep combustible wall coverings,
curtains or drapes a safe distance from
your range.

Use proper pan size–select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit
heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct
contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will also
improve efficiency.
■ Never leave the surface units unattended at
high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
■ Only certain types of glass, glass ⁄ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers are
suitable for cooktop service; others may
break because of the sudden change in
temperature.
■ To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of
flammable materials and spillage, the handle
of a container should be turned toward the
center of the range without extending over
nearby surface units.
■ Always turn the surface units off before
removing cookware.
■ Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you do
flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
■ Keep an eye on foods being fried at high
or medium high heat settings.
■ Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.
Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh
foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over
the sides of the pan.
■ Use little fat for effective shallow or deep fat
frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause
spillovers when food is added.
■ If a combination of oils or fats will be used in
frying, stir together before heating, or as fats
melt slowly.
■ Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
■ Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
■ 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.

RADIANT SURFACE UNITS
■ Use care when touching the cooktop.
The glass surface of the cooktop will retain
heat after the controls have been turned off.
■ Avoid scratching the glass cooktop.
The cooktop can be scratched with items such
as sharp instruments, rings or other jewelry
and rivets on clothing.
■ Large scratches or impacts to glass
doors or cooktops can lead to broken
or shattered glass.
■ Do not operate the radiant surface units
if the glass is broken. Spillovers or cleaning
solution may penetrate a broken cooktop
and create a risk of electrical shock. Contact
a qualified technician immediately should
your glass cooktop become broken.
■ Never use the glass cooktop surface as
a cutting board.
■ Do not place or store items that can melt
or catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when
it is not being used.
■ Be careful when placing spoons or other
stirring utensils on the glass cooktop surface
when it is in use. They may become hot
and could cause burns.
■ Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot
surface unit, be careful to avoid steam burns.
Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface.
NOTE: We recommend that you avoid wiping
any surface unit areas until they have cooled
and the indicator light has gone off. Sugar spills
are the exception to this. Please see Cleaning
the glass cooktop section.
■ When the cooktop is cool, use only the
recommended cleaning cream to clean
the cooktop.
■ To avoid possible damage to the cooking
surface, do not apply cleaning cream
to the glass surface when it is hot.
■ After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper towel
to remove all cleaning cream residue.
■ Read and follow all instructions and warnings
on the cleaning cream labels.
■ Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop
can lead to damage and improper operation
of the range.

■ The purpose of the warm 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
using the warm 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.

Restaurant-Quality Steak, Easy as 1, 2, 3:
1. Bring steak to room temperature.
NOTE: Always use safe food practices when handling meat.
2. Season both sides to taste and coat with olive oil or similar.
3. Preheat the oven to BAKE at 425°, with the oven rack in center position “C.”
4. Place your Lodge
®
cast-iron griddle on the designated area of the cooktop, and then preheat
the griddle on the Hi setting for 5 minutes.
5. Sear steak on each side for 3 minutes. NOTE: There will be “smoke”; ensure there
is proper ventilation.
6. Remove your Lodge
®
cast-iron griddle from the cooktop and place directly in the oven
with the steak still on the griddle.
CAUTION:The griddle will be VERY HOT!
7. Insert the meat probe that came with your range into the center of the steak, making sure
that the tip of the probe is in the center of the steak.
8. Plug the probe into the outlet (located on the upper front side of the oven), slide the rack back
into the oven, and close the door.
9. Press PROBE on your control, enter the desired internal temp shown above, and press START.
10. Allow steak to finish cooking in the oven. The range control will beep and turn off when
the steak reaches the desired internal temperature.
NOTES:
■ After searing, your steak could possibly already be at the desired temperature, depending
on size, cut and desired doneness.
■ For thinner steaks it may not be possible to achieve a Rare or Medium Rare doneness.
11. Remove the steak from the oven, and let it rest on a baker’s rack (or equivalent)
for the specified time.
By first searing your meat with a very high heat, you are creating a browning reaction known as the Maillard
Reaction. This reaction unlocks the fuller, more intense flavor from the meat, which occurs when cooking meat
at a high heat.

Home Canning Tips
Be sure the canner is centered over
the surface unit.
Make sure the canner is flat on the bottom.
To prevent burns from steam or heat,
use caution when canning.
Use recipes and procedures from
reputable sources. These are available from
manufacturers such as Ball
®
and Kerr
®
and
the Department of Agriculture Extension
Service.
Flat-bottomed canners are recommended.
Use of water bath canners with rippled
bottoms may extend the time required
to bring the water to a boil.
Use only flat-bottomed woks.
Wok Cooking
We recommend that you use only
a flat-bottomed wok. They are available
at your local retail store.
Do not use woks that have support rings.
Do not use round bottom woks. You could be
seriously burned if the wok tipped over.
Temperature Limiter
Every radiant surface unit has a temperature
limiter.
The temperature limiter protects the glass
cooktop from getting too hot.
The temperature limiter may cycle the units
off for a time if:
■ The pan boils dry.
■ The pan bottom is not flat.
■ The pan is off-center.
■ There is no pan on the unit.

Using the surface units.
The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.
Never cook directly on the glass.
Always use cookware.
About the radiant surface units…
The radiant cooktop features heating units
beneath a smooth glass surface.
NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new
cooktop is used for the first time. It is caused
by the heating of new parts and insulating
materials and will disappear in a short time.
NOTE: On models with light-colored glass
cooktops, it is normal for the cooking zones to
change color when hot or cooling down. This
is temporary and will disappear as the glass
cools to room temperature.
The surface unit will cycle on and off to
maintain your selected control setting.
It is safe to place hot cookware on the glass
surface even when the cooktop is cool.
Even after the surface units are turned off,
the glass cooktop retains enough heat to
continue cooking. To avoid overcooking,
remove pans from the surface units when
the food is cooked. Avoid placing anything
on the surface unit until it has cooled
completely.
Do not slide cookware across the cooktop
because it can scratch the glass—the glass
is scratch-resistant, not scratchproof.
■ Water stains (mineral deposits) are
removable using the cleaning cream
or full-strength white vinegar.
■ Use of window cleaner may leave an
iridescent film on the cooktop. The cleaning
cream will remove this discoloration.
■ Don’t store heavy items above the cooktop.
If they drop onto the cooktop, they can
cause damage.
■ Do not use the surface as a cutting board.
Always place the pan in the center
of the surface unit you are cooking on.

cooktop, but can be removed if cleaned
immediately. Because of its low melting point,
thin weight aluminum should not be used.
Copper Bottom:
recommended
Copper may leave residues which can
appear as scratches. The residues can be
removed, as long as the cooktop is cleaned
immediately. However, do not let these pots
boil dry. Overheated metal can bond to glass
cooktops. An overheated copper-bottom pot
will leave a residue that will permanently
stain the cooktop if not removed
immediately.
Porcelain Enamel-Covered
Cast-Iron:
recommended
As long as the cookware is covered
completely with porcelain enamel, this
cookware is recommended. Caution is
recommended for cast-iron cookware
that is not completely covered with smooth
porcelain enamel, as it may scratch the
glass-ceramic cooktop.
NOTE: The Lodge
®
cast-iron griddle provided
with the range is specifically designed for use
with the radiant cooktop. Do not use any
other griddles on the radiant cooktop.
Glass-ceramic:
usable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Stoneware:
usable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Check pans for flat bottoms by using
a straight edge.
Pans with rounded, curved, ridged or
warped bottoms are not recommended.

To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
Before you begin…
The racks 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 rack out to the bump on the rack
support.
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.
NOTE: The rack is not designed to slide out
at the special low rack (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.

The oven has a special low rack (R)
position just above the oven bottom.
Use it when extra cooking space is
needed, for example, when cooking
a large turkey. The rack is not designed
to slide out at this position.
Using the upper oven.
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 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.
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.
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 convection baking and for good
results when baking cakes, cookies,
pastry and breads.
Baking results will be better if foods are
centered in the oven as much as possible.
Pans should not touch each other or the
walls of the oven.
For best results when baking four cake layers
at a time, use racks B and D. Place the lower
pans at the back of the rack and the upper
pans at the front of the rack as shown so that
one pan is not directly above another leaving
approximately 1-1/2" between pans and
from the front, back and sides of the walls.

Using the convection oven. GEAppliances.com
The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened. DO NOT leave the door open for long periods of time
w
hile using convection cooking.
T
o 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 Preheating and Pan
Placement in the Using the upper oven
section.
■ Ideal for foods cooked on multiple racks.
■ 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.
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. Heated air will
be circulated over, under 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.
R
oasts or poultry should be cooked on rack
position (A).
When you are convection roasting, it is
i
mportant 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 rack in rack 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.
NNOOTTEE::
To maximize cooking evenness,
the fan is designed to rotate in both
directions with a pause in between.
This is normal.
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.

When convection baking with only
1 rack, follow the rack positions
recommended in the Using the
Oven section.
Using the convection oven.
Multi-Rack Baking
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 very good
results with multi-rack baking.
To cook food on more than one rack in
convection bake, use CONVECTION BAKE
MULTI.
When baking larger foods on 3 racks,
place one rack in the 2nd (A) position,
one on the 4th (C) position and the third rack
in the 6th (E) position.
When baking cookies, place the racks
in the 3rd (B), 4th (C) and 5th (D) positions.
How to Set the Upper Oven for Convection Baking or Roasting
Touch the CONVECTION BAKE MULTI/
1 RACK pad once for multi-rack
convection baking. This mode is used

Multi-Rack Baking section for more
information. Touch the CONVECTION
BAKE MULTI/1 RACK pad twice for one
rack convection baking. This mode is
used for cooking food items on only
one rack in convection bake.
Touch the CONVECTION ROAST pad
for convection roasting.
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

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.
In convection bake modes, for maximum
cooking evenness, the fan is designed to rotate
in both directions, with a pause in between.
This is normal.
NOTE: When convection baking, the oven
temperature will be 25˚F (14˚C) lower than
the set temperature. See Auto Recipe™

You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few
w
eeks 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 time of day display. Use your
oven as you would normally.
NOTE: The thermostat adjustment for Baking
will also affect Convection Baking or
Convection Roasting.
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.

the other hand.
To raise the oven temperature, move the
top screw toward the right. You’ll hear a
click for each notch you move the knob.
To lower the temperature, move the top
screw toward the left.
Each click will change the oven temperature
approximately 10°F. (Range is ± 60°F. from
the arrow.) We suggest that you make the
adjustment one click from the original setting
and check oven performance before making
any additional adjustments.
After the adjustment is made, retighten
screws so they are snug, but be careful
not to overtighten.
Reinstall knob on range and check
performance.

The oven door must be closed and all controls set correctly for the cycle to work properly.
Before a Clean Cycle
For the first self-clean cycle, we recommend
venting your kitchen with an open window
o
r using a ventilation fan or hood.
Remove the racks, any broiler pan,
broiler grid, probe, all cookware and
any aluminum foil from the oven.
The oven racks 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
w
ithstand 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.

Cast Iron Griddle
Rinse with hot water (do not use soap),
and dry thoroughly.
Before cooking, prepare the surface
with cooking spray or vegetable oil.
After cooking, clean the griddle with
a stiff brush and hot water. Using soap
is not recommended, and harsh
detergents should never be used.
Towel dry immediately and apply a light
coat of cooking spray or vegetable oil
while the griddle is still warm.
Store in a cool, dry place.
Do not wash in a dishwasher.
Griddle Precautions:
■ If something has spilled under the griddle,
it should be cleaned up as soon as possible
to prevent “baked on” food soil. See
the Cleaning the glass cooktop section.
■ 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.
See the Cleaning the glass cooktop section.
■ Do not place your griddle in the microwave
oven.
■ Always turn off all surface units before
removing the griddle. Use caution when
handling a hot griddle.
Stainless Steel Surfaces
Protecting
Stainless steel has a reputation for
withstanding tough abuse for years. This is a
key reason why it is so popular with the food
service industry.
However, stainless steel appliances can
have surface imperfections, discolorations
or blemishes that consumers with a critical
eye notice and find unattractive in the home.
These discolorations or blemishes can be
caused by something as simple as leaving
fingerprint smudges on the stainless steel
surface overnight.
For stainless steel appliances where
blemishes are prone to show on the surface,
we recommend APPLYING A COAT OF CERAMA
BRYTE
®
Stainless Steel Cleaning Polish &
Conditioner (purchased separately—follow
instructions).
This will help you to maintain the brightness and
appearance of your stainless steel appliance.
Cleaning
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch
the surface.
■ In order to avoid any discolorations and/or
grease stains, we recommend cleaning
and removing any spills, spots and grease
from the range after use.
■ It is important to use a soft cloth or paper
towel every time the range is cleaned to
avoid any scratches.
Read carefully the instructions on the back
of the Brightener (included with your range)
for better results.
Cleaning Instructions:
Wash using warm, soapy water:
Wet soft cloth or paper towel
(avoid using excessive water).
Wipe the surface in the direction
of the grain (following the steel lines).
Rinse and wring out a soft cloth or paper
towel and dry the range.
Apply a degreaser that does not contain
sodium hydroxide or Stainless Steel
Cleaner (follow instructions).
Apply Cerama Bryte
®
Stainless Steel
Brightener (follow instructions).
Repeat steps 2–4 as many times as needed.
Follow these instructions for any Stainless
Steel surface on your range.
DO NOT USE the following products for
cleaning the Cooktop or Stainless Steel parts:
• Caustic Lye (Sodium Hydroxide) or cleaners
containing this chemical
• Hard or Steel Wool Pads
• Abrasive Materials or Chemicals

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
t
he 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
o
r 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.

Control Panel and Knobs
It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel
after each use of the oven. 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
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 washed with soap and
water. Make sure the insides of the knobs
are dry before replacing.
NOTES:
■ Do not wash the knobs in an automatic
dishwasher.
■ Do not use any chemical or abrasive
substances to clean the knobs—they could
be permanently damaged.
Replace the knobs in the OFF position
to ensure proper placement.
Metal parts can be cleaned with soap
and water. Do not use steel wool, abrasives,
ammonia, acids or commercial oven cleaners.
Dry with a soft cloth.
NOTE: The lower oven drawer control knob
is not interchangeable with the surface unit
knobs. Be sure to reinstall the lower oven
drawer knob to the original location. The lower

WARNING!
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,
carefully tip the range forward. The bracket should stop
the range within 4 inches. If it does not, the bracket must
be reinstalled. If the range is pulled from the wall for any
reason, always repeat this procedure to verify the range
is properly secured by the anti-tip bracket.
For free-standing or slide-in ranges, never completely
remove the leveling legs or the range will not be secured
to the anti-tip device properly.
If you did not receive an anti-tip bracket with your

Make sure the wall covering, countertops and
cabinets around the range can withstand heat
generated by the range, oven or cooktop up
to 200°F.
Flooring under the range
Your range, like many other household items,
is heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings
such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting.
When moving the range on this type of flooring,
it should be installed on a 1/4″ thick sheet
of plywood (or similar material) as follows:
When the floor covering ends at the front
of the range, the area that the range will rest
on should be built up with plywood to the same

CODES DO NOT ALLOW
GROUNDING THROUGH
NEUTRAL
Use only a 3-conductor or a 4-conductor UL-listed
range cord. These cords may be provided with ring
terminals on wire and a strain relief device.
A range cord rated at 40 amps with 125/250
minimum volt range is required. A 50-amp range
cord is not recommended but if used, it should
be marked for use with nominal 1
3
⁄8″ diameter
connection openings. Care should be taken
to center the cable and strain relief within
the knockout hole to keep the edge from
damaging the cable.
• Because range terminals are not accessible
after range is in position, flexible service conduit
or cord must be used.
NOTE: If conduit is being used, go to Step 3D and
then to Step 6 or 7.
• On some models, a filter capacitor may be

Installation Instructions
INSTALL THE RANGE
ANTI-TIP DEVICE INSTALLATION
An Anti-Tip bracket is supplied with instructions
for installation in a variety of locations. The
instructions include all necessary information
to complete the installation. Read the Safety
Instructions and the instructions that fit your
situation before beginning installation.
WARNING:
• Range must be secured with an approved Anti-Tip
device.
• Unless properly installed, the range could be tipped
by you or a child standing, sitting or leaning on an
open door.
• After installing the Anti-Tip device, verify that it is
in place by carefully attempting to tilt the range
forward.
• This range has been designed to meet all recognized
industry tip standards for all normal conditions.
• The use of this device does not preclude tipping
of the range when not properly installed.
• If the Anti-Tip device supplied with the range does
not fit this application, use the universal Anti-Tip
device WB02K10254.
9
REPLACE THE WIRE COVER
Replace the wire cover on the range back by
sliding its right edge under the retaining tab and
replacing the two screws removed earlier. Make
sure that no wires are pinched between the cover
and the range back.
8
LEVEL THE RANGE
Install the oven racks in the oven and position
the range where it will be installed.
Check for levelness by
placing a spirit level or a
cup, partially filled with
water, on one of the oven
racks. If using a spirit level,
take two readings—with the
level placed diagonally first
in one direction and then the other.
The rear leveling legs must be adjusted prior
to moving the range into position. They can
be adjusted from the bottom at the back
of the range.
Use an open-end or adjustable wrench to
adjust the leveling legs until the range is level.
Replace the drawer or panel.
After the range is level, slide the range away
from the wall so that the Anti-Tip device can be
installed.

Installation Instructions
FINAL INSTALLATION CHECKLIST
• Check to make sure the circuit breaker is closed
(RESET) or the circuit fuses are replaced.
• Be sure power is in service to the building.
• Note (on some models): If the clock flashes
“bAd” and then “LinE” with a loud tone, the
neutral connection to the range is not wired
correctly. Check the terminal block connections
and/or house wiring to correct.
• Check to be sure that all packing materials
and tape have been removed. This will include
tape on metal panel under control knobs
(if applicable), adhesive tape, wire ties, cardboard
and protective plastic. Failure to remove these
materials could result in damage to the appliance
once the appliance has been turned on and
surfaces have heated.
• Check to make sure that the rear leveling leg
is fully inserted into the Anti-Tip bracket and
that the bracket is securely installed.
11
OPERATION CHECKLIST
• Turn on one of the surface units to observe that
the element glows within 60 seconds. Turn the
unit off when glow is detected. If the glow is not
detected within the time limit, recheck the range
wiring connections. If change is required, retest
again. If no change is required, have building
wiring checked for proper connections and
voltage.
• Check to make sure the Clock (on models so
equipped) display is energized. If a series of
horizontal red lines appear in the display,
disconnect power immediately. Recheck the
range wiring connections. If change is made
to connections, retest again. If no change is
required, have building wiring checked for proper
connections and voltage. It is recommended that
the clock be changed if the red lines appear.
• Be sure all range controls are in the OFF position
before leaving the range.
