A WARNING | 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. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• Page 3 - English - : GEAppliances.com A WARNING | GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven. Use this appliance for its intended purpose as described in this owner's manual. Have your range installed and properly grounded by a qualified installer in accordance with the provided installation instructions. Any adjustment and service should be performed only by a qualified gas range installers or service technicians. Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your range unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. Your range is shipped from the factory set for use with natural gas. It can be converted for use with LP gas. If required. these adjustments must be made by a qualified technician in accordance with the installation instructions and local codes. The agency performing this work assumes responsibility for the conversion. Have the installer show you the location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to turn it off if necessary. Plug your range into a 120-volt grounded outlet only. Do not remove the round grounding prong from the plug. If in doubt about the grounding of the home electrical system. it is your responsibility and obligation to have an ungrounded outlet replaced with a properly grounded. three prong outlet in accordance with the National Electrical Code. Do not use on extension cord with this appliance. Before performing any service. unplug the range or disconnect the power supply at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker. Be sure all packing materials are removed from the range before operating to prevent ignition of these materials. Avoid scratching or impacting glass doors. cooktops or control panels. Doing so may lead to glass breakage. Do not cook on a product with broken glass. Shock. fire or cuts may occur. Do not leave children alone or unattended in an area where an appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to climb. sit or stand on any part of the appliance. Do not store items of interest to children above a range or on the backguard of a range—children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured. Do not allow anyone to climb. stand or hang on the oven door. drawer or cooktop. They could damage the range or tip it over causing severe injury or death. Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. They provide the air inlets and outlets that are necessary for the range to operate properly with correct combustion. Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop. at the top and bottom of the oven door. and at the bottom of the range under the warming drawer. lower oven drawer or kick panel. 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 surface burners. burner grate. or oven heating element. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of pot holders. Be careful not to touch hot surfaces of the range. Potentially hot surfaces include burners. grates. cooktop. backguard. oven and door interior and crevices around the oven door. Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up and the container could burst. causing an To protect against foodborne illness. ensure that temperatures of meat and poultry products meet or exceed the USDA minimum recommended temperatures for food safety.

• Page 4 - English - : IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING. A WARNING | KEEP FLAMMABLE MATERIALS AWAY FROM THE RANGE Do not store or use flammable materials in an oven or near the cooktop. including paper. plastic. pot holders. linens. wall coverings. curtains. drapes and gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids. Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Avoid storing commonly used items in cabinets above the range and be careful when reaching over the range. Clothing in close proximity to burners or hot surfaces may ignite causing severe burns. Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the range. Grease in the oven or on the cooktop may ignite. Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter. A WARNING] IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE. TAKE THE FOLLOWING STEPS TO PREVENT INJURY AND FIRE SPREADING: Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up d flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface burner by covering the pan completely with a well-fitting lid. cookie sheet or flat tray. If necessary. use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher. If there is a fire in the oven during baking. turn the oven off and keep the door closed until the fire goes out. If necessary. use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam type fire extinguisher. If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean. turn the oven off and wait for the fire to go out. Do not force the door open. Introduction of fresh air at self-clean temperatures may lead to a burst of flame from the oven. Failure to follow this instruction may result in severe burns. A WARNING | COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Never leave the surface burners unattended at medium or high heat settings. Foods. especially oily foods. may ignite resulting in fire that could spread to surrounding Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed to heat beyond its smoking point. oil may ignite resulting in fire that may spread to surrounding cabinets. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to monitor oil temperature. To avoid oil spillover and fire. use ad minimum amount of oil when shallow pan-frying and avoid cooking frozen foods with excessive amounts of ice. Use proper pan size and avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware that is matched to the size of the burner. Burner flames should be adjusted so that they do not extend beyond the bottom of the pan. Excessive flame may be hazardous. Always use the LITE position when igniting the top burners and make sure the burners have ignited. When using glass/ceramic cookware. make sure it is suitable for cooktop service; others may break because of 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 burners. When preparing flaming foods under a hood. turn the Do not use a wok with a round metal support ring. the ring may trap heat and block air to the burner resulting in a carbon monoxide hazard. Do not attempt to lift the cooktop if your range has sealed surface burners. Doing so may damage the gas tubing to the surface burners resulting in a gas leak and risk of fire. Do not use aluminum foil to cover the grates or line any part of the cooktop. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning. overheating of the cooktop surfaces. or a potential fire hazard. 4 SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• Page 5 - English - : GEAppliances.com A WARNING | OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AWARN NG NEVER cover any slots. holes. or passages In the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat. causing a fire hazard. 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. Keep the oven free from grease buildup. Grease in the oven may ignite. Place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot. be careful to avoid touching hot surfaces. Pull the oven rack to the stop-lock position when loading and unloading food from the oven. This helps prevent burns from touching hot surfaces of the door and oven walls. Do not leave items such as paper. cooking utensils or food in the oven when not in use. Items stored in an oven can ignite. Do not leave items on the cooktop near the oven vent which is in the center of the backguard. Items may overheat resulting in a risk of fire or burns. When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven. follow the manufacturer's directions. Never broil with door open. Open-door broiling is not permitted due to overheating of control knobs. A WARNING SELF-CLEANING OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (Some models) The self-cleaning feature operates the oven at temperatures high enough to burn away food soils in the oven. Follow these instructions for safe operation. Before operating the self-clean cycle. remove pans. shiny metal oven racks and other utensils from the oven. Only porcelain-coated oven racks may be left in the oven. Do not use self-clean to clean other parts. such as grates. Before operating the self-clean cycle. wipe grease and food soils from the oven. Excessive amount of grease may ignite leading to smoke damage to your home. If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions. turn the oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have it serviced by a qualified technician. 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. 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. A WARNING | WARMING DRAWER/LOWER OVEN DRAWER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (some models) The purpose of the warming drawer is to hold hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Bacteria will grow very rapidly in food that is between 40 and 140°F. Do not put cold food in warming drawer. Do not keep food in the warming drawer for more than 2 hours. Failure to follow these instructions may result in foodborne illness. Do not leave paper products. plastics. canned food or combustible materials in the drawer. They may ignite. Do not touch the heating element or the interior surface of the drawer. These surfaces may be hot enough to cause burns. 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 that escapes can cause burns to hands. face and/or eyes. Do not use aluminum foil to line the warming drawer. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and will trap heat beneath it. This will upset the performance of the drawer and potentially cause a fire hazard. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 5

Center (oval) Extra Large Before Lighting a Gas Burner Make sure all burners are in place. Make sure all grates on the range are properly placed before using any burner. How to Light a Gas Surface Burner Make sure all the surface burners are placed in their respective positions. Push the control knob in and turn it to the LITE You will hear a little clicking noise—the sound of the electric spark igniting the burner. Turn the knob to adjust the flame size. If the knob stays at LITE. it will continue to click. Sealed Gas Burners (Some models) Your gas range cooktop has sealed gas burners. They offer convenience. cleanability and flexibility to be used in a wide range of cooking applications. The smallest burner in the right rear position is the simmer burner. On some models. the right front position triple flame burner will be the simmer burner. This burner can be turned down to SIM for a very low simmer setting. It provides precise cooking performance for delicate foods such as sauces or foods that require low heat for a long cooking time. After Lighting a Gas Burner Do not operate the burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat. Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you place your hand. a pot holder. cleaning cloths or other materials on them. When one burner is turned to LITE. all the burners spark. Do not attempt to disassemble or clean around any burner while another burner is on. An electric shock may result. which could cause you to knock over hot cookware. The medium (left rear) and the large (left front) burners are the primary burners for most cooking. These general-purpose burners can be turned down from HI to LO to Suit a wide range of cooking needs. The extra large burner (right front. triple flame burner. or left front burner on some models) are the maximum output burners. Like the other four burners. it can be turned down from HI to SIM for a wide range of cooking applications.
• Page 7 - English - : How to Select Flame Size AWAR N | N G Flames that are not covered by cookware may present a risk of burns or clothing ignition. Never let flames extend beyond the sides of the cookware. GEAppliances.com Watch the flame. not the knob. as you adjust heat. When fast heating is desired. the flame size on a gas burner should match the cookware you are using. Flames larger than the bottom of the cookware will not result in faster heating and may be hazardous. 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 tightfitting lids when cooking with minimum amounts of water. Cast-Iron: |f heated slowly. most skillets will give satisfactory results. Enamelware: Under some conditions. the enamel of some cookware may melt. Follow cookware manufacturer’s recommendations for cooking methods. Glass: There are two types of glass cookware—those for oven use only and those for top-of-range cooking (saucepans. coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat very slowly. Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for either surface or oven cooking. It conducts heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check cookware manufacturer's directions to be sure it can be used on gas ranges. Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor heating properties and is usually combined with copper. aluminum or other metals for improved heat distribution. Combination metal skillets usually work satisfactorily if they are used with medium heat as the manufacturer recommends. Stove Top Grills (Sealed burner models) Use a flat-bottomed wok. Do not use stove top grills on your sealed gas burners. If you use the stove top grill on the sealed gas burner. it will cause incomplete combustion and can result in exposure to carbon monoxide levels above allowable current standards. Wok This Way We recommend that you use a 14-inch or smaller flat-bottomed wok. Make sure the wok bottom sits flat on the grate. They are available at your local retail store. Only a flat-bottomed wok should be used. In Case of Power Failure In case of a power failure. you can light the gas surface burners on your range with a match. Hold a lit match to the burner. then push in and turn the control knob to the LITE position. Use extreme caution when lighting burners this way. This can be hazardous to your health. Do not use a wok support ring. Placing the ring over the burner or grate may cause the burner to work improperly. resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable standards. This could be dangerous to your health. Surface burners in use when an electrical power failure occurs will continue to operate

It also has a special low shelf position (R) for extra large items. such as a large turkey. Before you begin... The shelves have stop-locks. so that when placed correctly on the shelf supports (A through €). they will stop before coming completely out. and will not tilt. When placing and removing cookware. pull the shelf out to the bump on the shelf support. ACAUTION When you are using a rack in the lowest position (R). 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 can be burned if you put your hand in the middle of the rack and pull all the way out. To remove a shelf. pull it toward you. tilt the front end up and pull it out. To replace. place the end of the shelf (stoplocks) on the support. tilt up the front and push the shelf in. NOTE: The shelf is not designed to slide out at the special low shelf (R) position. Plastic items on the cooktop may melt if left too close to the vent. Vent appearance and location vary. 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 or flammable items on the cooktop—they may melt or ignite if left too close to the vent. Power Outage The oven or broiler cannot be lit during a power If the oven is in use when a power failure occurs. the oven burner shuts off. This is because the flow of gas is automatically stopped and will not resume until power is Oven Light On some models. touch the Oven Light pad on the upper control panel to turn the light on Do not leave closed containers on the cooktop.

• Page 15 - English - : Cut slits in the foil just like the grid. GEAppliances.com How to Set the Broiler Compartment (on some models) Broiling is cooking food by direct heat from above the food. Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be broiled. Follow these directions to keep spattering and smoking to a minimum. Your range has a compartment below the oven for broiling. Both the oven and broiler compartment doors must be closed during broiling. Turn most foods once during cooking (the exception is thin fillets of fish; oil one side. place that side down on broiler grid and cook without turning until done). Time foods for about one-half the total cooking time. turn food. then continue to cook to preferred doneness. You can change the distance of the food from the heat source by positioning the broiler pan and grid on one of three rack positions in the broiler compartment—A (bottom of broiler compartment). B (middle) and C (top). Placing food close to the burner increases exterior browning of the food. but also increases splattering and the possibility of fats igniting. Thicker foods and foods that need to be cooked thoroughly should be broiled on a rack position farther from the broiler. Preheating the broiler or oven is not necessary and can produce poor results. Preheating the broiler may produce better results for some foods but is not necessary. If meat has fat or gristle ground the edge. cut vertical slashes through both about 2” apart. If desired. the fat may be trimmed. leaving a layer about 1/8” thick. Arrange the food on the grid and position the broiler pan on the appropriate rack in the oven or broiling compartment. Close the oven and broiler compartment [6 | Turn the OVEN CONTROL knob to BROIL. When broiling is finished. turn the OVEN CONTROL knob to OFF. Remove the broiler pan from the broiler compartment and serve the food immediately. Leave the pan outside the range to cool. Broiling Compartment Guide Suggestions Always use the broiler pan and grid that comes with your range. It is designed to minimize smoking and spattering by trapping juices in the shielded lower part of the pan. For steaks and chops. slash fat evenly around the outside edges of the meat. To slash. cut crosswise through the outer fat surface just to the edge of the meat. Use tongs to turn the meat over to prevent piercing the meat and losing juices. Aluminum Foil You can use aluminum foil to line your broiler pan and broiler grid. However. you must mold the foil tightly to the grid and cut slits in it just like the grid. If desired. marinate meats or chicken before broiling. Or brush with barbecue sauce last 5-10 minutes only. When arranging the food on the pan. do not let fatty edges hang over the sides because dripping fat could soil the oven. The broiler compartment does not need to be preheated. However. for very thin foods. or to increase browning. preheat if desired. Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning the rack at the next lowest rack position and increasing the cooking time given in this guide 1% times per side.

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.

Make sure the bowed portion is toward the front of the range. In addition. the middle grate is supported by the left and right grates and must be installed LAST for stability. Lift out when cool. Grates should be washed regularly and. of course. after spillovers. Wash them in hot. soapy water and rinse with clean water. When replacing the grates. be sure they are positioned securely over the burners. Cooktop Surface To avoid damaging the porcelain-enamel surface of the cooktop and to prevent it from becoming dull. clean up spills right away. Foods with a lot of acid (tomatoes. sauerkraut. fruit juices. etc.) or foods with high sugar content could cause a dull spot if allowed to set. Oven Air Vents Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. They provide the air inlet and outlet that are necessary for the range to operate properly with correct combustion. Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop. at the top and bottom of the oven door. and at the bottom of the range. Upper Control Panel (on some models) On models so equipped. lock out the touch pads before cleaning. Clean up splatters with a damp cloth. You may also use a glass cleaner. Remove heavier soil with warm soapy water. Replace the grates so that continuous arcs are formed with the center ribs of all three grates. Do not operate a burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat. To get rid of burned-on food. place the grates in a covered container. Add 1/4 cup ammonia and let them soak several hours or overnight. Wash. rinse well and dry. Although they are durable. the grates will gradually lose their shine. regardless of the best care you can give them. This is due to their continual exposure to high temperatures. You will notice this sooner with lighter color grates. NOTE: Do not clean the grates in a self-cleaning When the surface has cooled. wash and rinse. For other spills such as fat spatterings. wash with soap and water once the surface has cooled. Then rinse and polish with a dry cloth. NOTE: For stainless steel cooktops. refer to the Stainless steel surfaces section. Vent appearance and location vary. Do not use abrasives of any kind. Unlock the touch pads after cleaning.
