IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, electric

shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

All ranges can tip and injury could result.

To prevent accidental tipping of the range, attach it to the wall and floor by installing the Anti-Tip

device supplied.

If the Anti-Tip device supplied with the range does not fit this application, use the universal Anti-Tip

device WB2X7909.

To check if the device is installed and engaged properly, remove the storage drawer and inspect

the rear leveling leg. Make sure it fits securely into the slot.

If you pull the range out from the wall for any reason, make sure the device is properly engaged when

you push the range back against the wall. If it is not, there is a possible risk of the range tipping over

and causing injury if you or a child stand, sit or lean on an open door.

Please refer to the Anti-Tip device information in this manual. Failure to take this precaution could

result in tipping of the range and injury.

WARNING ANTI-TIP DEVICE

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 installer in accordance

with the provided installation instructions.

■ Have the installer show you the location of

the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy

reference.

■ Do not attempt to repair or replace any

part of your range unless it is specifically

recommended in this manual. All other

servicing should be referred to a qualified

technician.

■ Before performing any service, disconnect

the range power supply at the household

distribution panel by removing the fuse or

switching off the circuit breaker.

■ Do not leave children alone—children should

not be left alone or unattended in an area

where an appliance is in use. They should

never be allowed to sit or stand on any part

of the appliance.

■ Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang

on the door, storage drawer or cooktop. They

could damage the range and even tip it over,

causing severe personal injury.

■ 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 back of a range—children climbing

on the range to reach items could be seriously

injured.

■ Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments

while using the appliance. Be careful when

reaching for items stored over the range.

Flammable material could be ignited if

brought in contact with hot surface units or

heating elements and may cause severe burns.

■ Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp

pot holders on hot surfaces may result in

burns from steam. Do not let pot holders

touch hot surface units or heating elements.

Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in

place of pot holders.

■ Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick

up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.

Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit

by covering the pan completely with

a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.

Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or

foam-type fire extinguisher.

■ Flaming grease outside a pan can be put

out by covering it with baking soda or, if

available, by using a multi-purpose dry

chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

■ Flame in the oven can be smothered

completely by closing the oven door and

turning the oven off or by using a multi-

purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire

extinguisher.

■ For your safety, never use your appliance

for warming or heating the room.

■ Do not let cooking grease or other flammable

materials accumulate in or near the range.

■ Do not touch the surface units, the heating

elements or the interior surface of the oven.

These surfaces may be hot enough to burn

even though they are dark in color. During and

after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other

flammable materials contact the surface units,

areas nearby the surface units or any interior

area of the oven; allow sufficient time for

cooling first.

■ Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop,

areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening,

surfaces near the opening, crevices around the

oven door.

■

REMEMBER:

The inside surface of the oven

may be hot when the door is opened.

■ Do not store or use combustible materials,

gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids

in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

■ Keep the hood and grease filters clean

to maintain good venting and to avoid

grease fires.

■ Teach children not to play with the controls

or any other part of the range.

■ Always keep dish towels, 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.

WARNING!

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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.

COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…

Do not operate the oven or cooktop controls if the glass is broken. Food splatter or cleaning solution

may penetrate a broken control panel or cooktop and create a risk of electrical shock. Contact a

qualified technician immediately should your glass control panel or cooktop become broken.

Safety Instructions Operating InstructionsSafety Instructions Operating Instructions Care and Cleaning Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

Use proper pan size—select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating

element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct contact and may

result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will also improve efficiency.

■ Never leave the surface units unattended at

high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking

and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

■ Only certain types of glass, glass ⁄ceramic,

earthenware or other glazed containers are

suitable for cooktop service; others may break

because of the sudden change in temperature.

■ To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition

of flammable materials and spillage, the handle

of a container should be turned toward the

center of the range without extending over

nearby surface units.

■ Always turn the surface units off before

removing cookware.

■ When preparing flaming foods under the

hood, turn the fan on.

■ Use care when touching the cooktop.

The glass surface of the cooktop will retain

heat after the controls have been turned off.

■ Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or

medium high heat settings.

■ Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.

Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh

foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and

over the sides of the pan.

■ Use little fat for effective shallow or deep

fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can

cause spillovers when food is added.

■ If a combination of oils or fats will be used

in frying, stir together before heating, or

as fats melt slowly.

■ Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.

■ Use a deep fat thermometer whenever

possible to prevent overheating fat beyond

the smoking point.

■ Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The

cooktop can be scratched with items such

as sharp instruments, rings or other jewelry,

and rivets on clothing.

■ 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 glass cooktop surface when it is in use.

They may become hot and could cause burns.

■ Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet

sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot

surface unit, be careful to avoid steam burns.

Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if

applied to a hot surface.

NOTE:

We recommend that you avoid wiping

any surface unit areas until they have cooled

and the indicator light has gone off. Sugar

spills are the exception to this. Please see the

Cleaning the glass cooktop

section.

■ When the cooktop is cool, use only the

CERAMA BRYTE

Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner

and the CERAMA BRYTE Ceramic Cooktop

Cleaning Pad to clean the cooktop.

■ To avoid possible damage to the cooking

surface, do not apply cleaning cream to

the glass surface when it is hot.

■ After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper towel

to remove all cleaning cream residue.

■ Read and follow all instructions and warnings

on the cleaning cream labels.

■ Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic

may melt onto the surface and be very difficult

to remove.

■ Do not heat unopened food containers.

Pressure could build up and the container

could burst, causing an injury.

■ Keep the oven vent unobstructed.

■ Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

■ Place the oven rack in the desired position

while the oven is cool. If racks must be handled

when hot, do not let pot holder contact the

heating elements.

■ When using cooking or roasting bags in the

oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.

■ Pulling out the rack to the stop-lock is a

convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also

a precaution against burns from touching

hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.

■ Do not use the oven to dry newspapers.

If overheated, they can catch on fire.

■ Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items

stored in an oven can ignite.

■ Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils

or food in the oven when not in use.

■ Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms.

Improper installation of aluminum foil may

result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

Stand away from the range when opening the oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause

burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

WARNING!

OVEN

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind

should be used in or around any part of the oven. Residue from oven cleaners will damage the inside

of the oven when the self-clean cycle is used.

■ Do not clean the door gasket. The door gasket

is essential for a good seal. Care should be

taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

■ Before self-cleaning the oven, remove shiny,

silver-colored oven racks (on some models)

and all other cookware.

■ Gray porcelain-coated oven racks (on some

models) may be cleaned in the oven during

the self-clean cycle.

■ Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before

starting the self-cleaning operation.

■ If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn

the oven off and disconnect the power supply.

Have it serviced by a qualified technician.

■ Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s Manual.

SELF-CLEANING UPPER OVEN

■ 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 in the

WARM setting of the lower oven drawer.

■ Do not use the 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 drawer.

■ Do not warm food in the drawer for more than

two hours.

■ Never place, use or self-clean the lower oven

drawer pan in the upper oven.

■

Do not touch the heating element or the interior

surface of the drawer.

These surfaces may be

hot enough to burn.

REMEMBER:

The inside surface of the drawer

may be hot when the drawer is opened.

■ Use care when opening the 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.

LOWER OVEN DRAWER

(on some models)

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.

About the radiant surface units.

NOTE: Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.

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.

Cooktop temperatures increase with

the number of surface units that are

on. With 3 or 4 units turned on, surface

temperatures are high. Always use

caution when touching the cooktop.

An indicator light will come on when the

surface unit is turned on.

The appropriate

HOT SURFACE

indicator

light will glow when its corresponding

radiant element is turned on and will

remain on until the surface has cooled

below 150°F.

NOTE:

Hot surface indicator light will:

■

Come on when the surface unit is

turned on.

■

Stay on even after the unit is turned off.

■

Glow brightly until the unit has cooled

below 150°F.

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.

It is safe to place hot cookware from the

oven or surface on the glass cooktop

when the surface 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.

■

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.

Safety Instructions Operating InstructionsSafety Instructions Operating Instructions Care and Cleaning Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support

Stainless Steel:

recommended

Aluminum:

heavy weight recommended

Good conductivity. Aluminum residues

sometimes appear as scratches on the

cooktop, but can be removed if cleaned

immediately. Because of its low melting

point, thin weight aluminum should not

be used.

Copper Bottom:

recommended

Copper may leave residues which can

appear as scratches. The residues can

be removed, as long as the cooktop is

cleaned immediately. However, do not let

these pots boil dry. Overheated metal can

bond to glass cooktops. An overheated

copper bottom pot will leave a residue

that will permanently stain the cooktop

if not removed immediately.

Porcelain Enamel Covered Cast Iron:

recommended

As long as the cookware is covered

completely with porcelain enamel, this

cookware is recommended. Caution is

recommended for cast iron cookware

that is not completely covered with

smooth porcelain enamel, as it may

scratch the glass ceramic cooktop.

Glass-ceramic:

usable, but not recommended

Poor performance. May scratch the

surface.

Stoneware:

usable, but not recommended

Poor performance. May scratch the

surface.

Check pans for flat bottoms by using

a straight edge.

Pans with rounded, curved, ridged or

warped bottoms are not

recommended.

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.

ge.com

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

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.

Preheating and Pan Placement

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.

Preheating is necessary for good results

when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and

breads.

To preheat, set the oven at the correct

temperature. The control will beep when

the oven is preheated and the display will

show your set temperature. This will take

approximately 10–15 minutes.

Baking results will be better if baking

pans are centered in the oven as much

as possible. If baking with more than one

pan, place the pans so each has at least

1″ to 1

⁄2″ of air space around it.

If baking four cake layers at the same time,

place two layers on rack B and two layers on

rack D. Stagger pans on the rack so one is

not directly above the other.

Type of Food Rack Position

Frozen pies (on cookie sheet) D

Angel food cake A

Bundt or pound cakes B or C

Biscuits, muffins, brownies, C or D

Before you begin…

The racks have stops, so that when placed

correctly on the supports, they will stop

before coming completely out, and will

not tilt.

When placing and removing cookware,

pull the rack out until it stops.

On some models, the bake heating

element is under the oven floor. Do not

place foods on the oven bottom for

cooking.

To remove a rack,

pull it toward you,

tilt the front end up and pull it out.

To replace,

place the end of the rack

(stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the

front and push the rack in.

CAUTION: When you are using a

rack in the lowest position (A), you will need to

use caution when pulling the rack out. We

recommend that you pull the rack out several

inches and then, using two pot holders, pull the

rack out by holding the sides of it. The rack is low

and you could be burned if you place your hand in

the middle of the rack and pull all the way out. Be

very careful not to burn your hand on the door

when using the rack in the lowest position (A).

The oven has 6 rack positions.

Aluminum Foil

Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom

of the oven.

Never entirely cover a rack with

aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat

circulation and result in poor baking.

A smaller sheet of foil may be used to

catch a spillover by placing it on a lower

rack several inches below the food.

How to Set the Upper Oven for Broiling

Leave the door open to the broil stop position.

The door stays open by itself, yet the proper

temperature is maintained in the oven.

Place the meat or fish on a broiler

grid in a broiler pan designed

for broiling.

Follow suggested rack positions in

the

Broiling Guide.

Touch the

BROIL HI/LO

pad once for

HI Broil.

To change to

LO Broil,

touch the

BROIL HI/LO

pad again.

Use

LO Broil

to cook foods such as

poultry or thick cuts of meat thoroughly

without over-browning them.

Touch the

pad.

When broiling is finished, touch the

CLEAR/OFF

pad.

NOTE: Broil and self-clean settings will not work

if the temperature probe is plugged in.

The size, weight, thickness,

starting temperature

and your preference

of doneness will affect

broiling times. This guide

is based on meats at

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 only affect baking and roasting temperatures; it will not affect broiling, convection or

self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.

The type of margarine will affect baking performance!

Most recipes for baking have been developed using high fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you

decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher fat product.

Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low fat spreads. The lower the

fat content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.

Federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low fat spreads, on the

other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor

of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least

70% vegetable oil.

Introduction

Convection Fan Operation

In a convection oven, a fan circulates hot air over,

under and around the food.

This circulating hot air is evenly distributed

throughout the oven cavity. As a result, foods are

evenly cooked and browned—often in less time

with convection heat.

NOTE:

To maximize cooking evenness,

the fan is designed to rotate in both

directions, with a pause in between.

This is normal.

The convection fan shuts off when the

oven door is opened.

DO NOT

leave the

door open for long periods of time while

using convection cooking or you may

shorten the life of the convection heating

element.

them. Also, be sure the pans do not touch

each other or the walls of the oven.

Paper and Plastic

Heat-resistant paper and plastic

containers that are recommended for

use in regular baking can also be used

for convection baking, but should not

be used at temperatures higher than

the temperature recommended by the

cookware manufacturer. Plastic cookware

that is heat-resistant to temperatures of

400°F can also be used.

Metal and Glass

Any type of cookware will work in your

convection oven. However, metal pans

heat the fastest and are recommended

for convection baking.

■

Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake

faster than shiny pans.

■

Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.

For recipes like oven-baked chicken,

use a pan with low sides. Hot air

cannot circulate well around food

in a pan with high sides.

How to Set the Upper Oven for Convection Baking or Roasting

When baking cookies, you will get

the best results if you use a flat

cookie sheet instead of a pan with

low sides.

Using the convection oven. (on some models)

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. The heated air seals in juices

quickly for a moist and tender product

while, at the same time, creating a rich

golden brown exterior.

When you are convection roasting, it is

important that you use a broiler pan and

grid designed for broiling for best

convection roasting results. The pan is

used to catch grease spills and the grid

is used to prevent grease spatters.

How to Set an Immediate Start and Automatic Stop

NOTE: Foods that spoil easily—such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, poultry and pork—should not be allowed to sit

for more than 1 hour before or after cooking. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria. Be sure

that the oven light is off because heat from the bulb will speed harmful bacteria growth.

Add time as needed.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

■

Food should be kept hot in its cooking container

or transferred to a heat-safe serving dish.

■

For moist foods, cover them with an oven-safe

lid or aluminum foil.

■

Fried or crisp foods do not need to be covered,

but can become too dry if warmed for too long.

■

Repeated opening of the door allows the hot

air to escape and the food to cool.

■

Allow extra time for the temperature inside the

oven to stabilize after adding items.

■

With large loads it may be necessary to cover

some of the cooked food items.

■

Remove serving spoons, etc., before placing

How to Set the Upper Oven for Cleaning

The oven door must be closed and all controls

set correctly for the cycle to work properly.

Touch the

SELF CLEAN STD/LO

pad

once for a 4-hour clean time or

twice for a 3-hour clean time.

A 3-hour self-clean time is

recommended for use when

cleaning small, contained spills.

A self-clean time of 4 hours or

longer is recommended for

a dirtier oven.

If a time other than 4 hours or

3 hours is needed, use the number

pads and enter the desired

clean time.

You can change the clean time to any

time between 2

⁄2 hours and 5 hours,

depending on how dirty your oven is.

Touch the

START

pad.

The door locks automatically. The display

will show the clean time remaining. It will

not be possible to open the oven door

until the temperature drops below the

lock temperature and the

LOCKED

light

goes off.

When the

LOCKED

light goes off, you will

be able to open the door.

■ The word

LOCKED

will flash and the

word

door

will display if you set the

clean cycle and forget to close the

oven door.

■ To stop a clean cycle, touch the

CLEAR/OFF

pad. When the

LOCKED

light

goes off indicating the oven has cooled

below the locking temperature, you

will be able to open the door.

Wipe up heavy soil on the oven

bottom.

Before a Clean Cycle

We recommend venting your kitchen

with an open window or using a

ventilation fan or hood during the

first self-clean cycle.

Remove broiler pan, broiler grid, probe,

all cookware and any aluminum foil

from the oven.

NOTE:

■ If your oven is equipped with shiny,

silver-colored oven racks, remove them

before you begin the self-clean cycle.

■ If your oven is equipped with gray

porcelain-coated oven racks, they

may be left in the oven during the

self-clean cycle.

The shiny, silver-colored oven racks

(on some models) can be self-cleaned,

but they will darken, lose their luster and

become hard to slide.

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 steel-wool pads

or cleansers such as Soft Scrub

. Rinse

well with clean water and dry.

Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass

material of the oven door gasket cannot

withstand abrasion. It is essential for the

gasket to remain intact. If you notice it

becoming worn or frayed, replace it.

Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the

oven bottom.

Make sure the oven light bulb cover is

in place and the oven light is off.

IMPORTANT:

The health of some birds

is extremely sensitive to the fumes given

off during the self-cleaning cycle of any

range. Move birds to another well-

ventilated room.

the oven cools.

If white spots remain, remove them with a soap-

filled steel wool pad and rinse thoroughly with

a vinegar and water mixture.

These deposits are usually a salt residue

that cannot be removed by the clean

cycle.

If the oven is not clean after one clean

cycle, repeat the cycle.

If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the anti-tip

device is re-engaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to take this

precaution could result in tipping of the range and cause injury.

Care and cleaning of the range. ge.com

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

How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape

Carefully grasp a corner of the protective

shipping film with your fingers and slowly

peel it from the appliance surface. Do not

use any sharp items to remove the film.

Remove all of the film before using the

appliance for the first time.

To assure no damage is done to the

finish of the product, the safest way to

remove the adhesive from packaging tape

on new appliances is an application of a

household liquid dishwashing detergent.

Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak.

NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all

parts. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.

Control Knobs

The control knobs may be removed for easier

cleaning.

Make sure the knobs are in the

OFF

positions and pull them straight off the

stems for cleaning.

The knobs can be cleaned in a

dishwasher or they may also be washed

with soap and water. Make sure the inside

of the knobs are dry before replacing.

Replace the knobs in the

OFF

position to

ensure proper placement.

Oven Vent

The oven vent is located above the right rear

surface unit.

This area could become hot during

oven use.

It is normal for steam to come out of

the vent.

The vent is important for proper air circulation.

Never block this vent.

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.

Lift-Off Oven Door

The door is very heavy. Be careful when

removing and lifting the door.

Do not lift the door by the handle.

To remove the door:

Fully open the door.

Pull the hinge locks down toward

the door frame, to the unlocked

position. A tool, such as a small

flat-blade screwdriver, may be

required.

Firmly grasp both sides of the door

at the top.

Close door to the door removal

position, which is halfway between

the broil stop position and fully

closed.

Lift door up and out until the hinge

arm is clear of the slot.

To replace the door:

Firmly grasp both sides of the door

at the top.

With the

door at the

same angle as

the removal

position, seat the

indentation of

the hinge arm

into the bottom

edge of the hinge slot. The notch in

the hinge arm must be fully seated

into the bottom of the slot.

Fully open the door. If the door will

not fully open, the indentation is not

seated correctly in the bottom edge

of the slot.

Cleaning the Oven Door

To clean the inside of the door:

■ Because the area inside the gasket is

cleaned during the self-clean cycle,

you do not need to clean this by hand.

■ The area outside the gasket and

the door liner can be cleaned with

a soap-filled steel wool or plastic pad,

hot water and detergent. Rinse well

with a vinegar and water solution.

To clean the outside of the door:

■ Use soap and water to thoroughly

clean the top, sides and front of the

oven door. Rinse well. You may also

use a glass cleaner to clean the glass

on the outside of the door. Do not let

water drip into the vent openings.

■ If any stain on the door vent trim is

persistent, use a soft abrasive cleaner

and a sponge-scrubber for best results.

■ Spillage of marinades, fruit juices,

tomato sauces and basting materials

containing acids may cause

discoloration and should be wiped

up immediately. When surface is

cool, clean and rinse.

■ Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning

powders or harsh abrasives on the

outside of the door.

or a vinegar and water solution.

Do not use commercial oven cleaners,

cleaning powders, steel wool or harsh

abrasives on any painted surface.

Oven Racks

All oven racks may be cleaned by hand

with an abrasive cleaner or steel wool.

After cleaning, rinse the racks with clean

water and dry with a clean cloth. Gray

porcelain-coated oven racks may remain

in the oven during the self-cleaning

cycle without being damaged. The shiny,

silver-colored oven racks may remain in

the oven during the self-cleaning cycle,

but they will lose their luster and become

hard to slide.

It will be necessary to grease all oven

rack side edges with a light coating of

vegetable oil after cleaning them by hand

or in the oven. This will help maintain

the ease of sliding the racks in and out

of the oven.

Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch

the surface.

To clean the stainless steel surface,

use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel

cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface

in the direction of the grain. Follow the

cleaner instructions for cleaning the

stainless steel surface.
