WARNING!
IMPORTANTSAFETYNOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to
publish a list of substances known to the state to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm, and
requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon
monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or
LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize
incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
SAFETYPRECAUTIONS
Have the installer show you the location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off if necessary.
Have your range installed and properly
grounded by a qualified installe_, in
accordance with the Installation Instructions.
Any ad,justment and ser\,ice should be
performed only by qualified gas range
installers or ser\,ice technicians.
Do not atmmpt to repair or replace any
part of your range unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other
serx,ice should be referred m a qualified
technician.
Plug your range into a 190woh grounded
outlet only. Do not remove the round
grounding prong f_om the plug. If in doubt
about the grounding of the home electrical
system, it is your personal 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
an exmnsion cord with this appliance.

Be sure 'allpacka_ng materials are removed
from the range befk)re operating it m
prevent fire or smoke damage should the
packa_ng material ignite.
Be sure your range is correctly adjusted by
a qualified ser\,ice technician or installer fk)r
the type of gas (natural or LP) that is m be
used. Your range can be converted fk)r use
with either type of gas. See the Installation
of therange section.
WARNING:These a(tiustments must
be made by a qualified ser\,ice technician
in accordance xdth the manufhcturer's
instructions and all codes and requirements {
of the authority hax,ingjurisdicdon. Failure
to follow these instructions could result in
serious in,ju U or property damage. The
qualified agency perf_)rming this work
assumes responsibility for the converskm.
After prolonged use of a range, high foor
temperatures may result and many floor
coverings xdll not xdthstand this kind of use.
Never install the range over x,inyl die or
linoleum that cannot withstand such type
of use. Never install it directly over interior
kitchen carpeting.
Do not leave children alone or unattended
where a range is hot or in operation. They
could be seriously burned.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang
on the oven door, storage drawer, warming
drm_,er or cooktop. They could damage the
range and even tip it over; causing severe
personal in,jm T.
CAUTION:,te,nsofi.terestto
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 in,jured.
A WARNING:NEVERusethis
appliance as a space hearer m heat or
warm the room. Doing so may result
in carbon monoxide poisoning and
overheating of the oven.
iiiiiiiiiiiii!
Never wear loose fitting or han_ng garments
while using the appliance. Be careful when
reaching for imms stored in cabinets over the
range. Flammable material could be i_dted
if brought in contact with flame or hot oven
surfaces and may cause severe burns.
Do not store flammable materials in an
oven, a range storage drawer, a warming
drm_,er or near a cooktop.
Do not store or use combustible mamrials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the x,icinity of this or any other
appliance.
Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate in or
near the range.
Do not use water on _ease fires. Never pick
up a flaming pan. Turn the controls oil
Smother a flaming pan on a surface burner
by covering the pan completely with a
well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.
Use a multi-purpose d U 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 muhi-purpose dU
chemical or fkmm-type fire extinguisher.
Flame in the oven or warming drawer can be
smothered completely by closing the oven
door and turning the control m off or by
using a multi-purpose d U chemical or fkmm-
type fire extinguisher
Let the burner grates and other surfaces
cool befk)re touching them or leax,ing them
where children can reach them.
Never block the vents (air openings) of
the range. They pro\,ide the air inlet and
outlet that are necessa U fk)r 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, kick panel or
storage drawer
Large scratches or impacts to glass doors can
lead to broken or shattered glass.

WARNING!
SURFACEBURNERS
Use proper pan size--avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat bottoms
large enough to cover burner grates. Toavoid spillovers, make sure cookware is large enough to contain
the food properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since
heavy spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped
and remain cool
Always use the LITE position when igniting
the top burners and make sure the burners
have i_lited.
Never leave the surface burners unattended
at high flame settings. Boilovers cause
smoking and _easy spillovers that may
catch on fire.
Adjust the mp burner flame size so it
does not exmnd beyond the edge of the
cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous.
Use only d U pot holders--moist or damp
pot holders on hot surfhces may result in
burns fiom steam. Do not let pot holders
come near open flames when lifting
cookware. Do not use a towel or other
bulky cloth in place of a pot holder
When using glass cookware, make sure it
is designed for top-of range cooking.
To minimize the possibility of burns,
ignition of flammable materials and spillage,
turn cookware handles reward the side or
back of the range without exmnding over
adjacent burners.
Carefully watch foods being flied at a high
flame setting.
Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The
hot air fiom the vent may i_fite flammable
imms and will increase pressure in closed
containers, which may cause them m burst.
If a combination of oils or fats will be used in
flying, stir together before heating or as fats
meh slowly.
Use a deep fht thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
Use the least possible amount of fat f_)r
effective shallow or deep-fat flying. Filling
the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers
when food is added.
Do not flame f_)ods on the cooktop. Kyou do
flame fk)ods under the hood, turn the fro1 on.
Do not use a wok on the cooking surface
if the wok has a round metal ring that is
placed over the burner _ate to support
the wok. This ring acts as a heat trap,
which may damage the burner grate and
burner head. Also, it may cause the burner
to work improperly. This may cause a
carbon monoxide level above that
allowed by current standards, resulting
in a health hazard.
Foods for flying should be as d U as possible.
Frost on fiozen foods or moisture on fiesh
foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and
over the sides of the pan.
Never t U to move a pan of hot fat, especially
a deep fat flyer Wait until the fht is cool.
Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop--
they may melt if left too close to the vent.
Keep all plastics away from the surface
burners.
To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be
certain that the controls fbr all burners are
at the OFF position and 'all _ates are cool
befbre attempting to remove them.
If range is located near a window, do not
hang long curtains that could blow over the
surface burners and create a fire hazard.
If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range
and call a qualified serx,ice technician. Never
use an open flame to locam a leak.
Always turn the surface burner controls off
before remox,Jng cookware.
Do not lift the cookmp on sealed burner
models. Lifting the cookmp can lead
to damage and improper operation of
the range.

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.
FederM standards require products labeled "margarine" m contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low fat spreads, on the

Using the self-cleaning oven.
Never force the latch handle. Forcing the handle will damage the door lock mechanism.
The oven door must be closed and all controls set correctly for the cycle to work properly.
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven
bottom.
Before a Clean Cycle
For the filst self-clean cycle, we recommend
venting your kitchen with an open window
or using a ventilation fan or hood.
Remove the shelves, any broiler pan, broiler
grid, all cookware and any aluminum foil
flom the oven.
The oven shelves can be self-cleaned,
but they will darken, lose their luster
and become hard to slide.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners or
oven promctois in or near the self-cleaning
oven. A combination of any of these
products plus the high clean cycle
mmperatures may damage the porcelain
finish of the oven.
Soil on file flont flame of file range and
outside the gasket on the door will need
m be cleaned by hand. Clean these areas
with hot wam_; soap-filled scouring pads

ANTI-TIP DEVICE
• All ranges can tip.
• BURNSor other SERIOUS
INJURIEScan result.
• INSTALL and CHECKthe
ANTI-TIP bracket following
the instructions supplied
with the bracket.
Toreduce the risk of tipping the range, the rangemust
besecured by aproperly installedanti-tip bracket. See
installation instructionsshipped with the bracket for
completedetails before attemptingto install.
Tocheck ff the bracket is installed and engagedproperly,
carefully tip the rangeforward. Thebracket shouldstop the
range within 4inches. If f does not,the bracket must be
reinstalled.If the rangeis pulled from the wall for any
reason,always repeat this procedure to verify the range
is properly secured by the anti-tipbracket.
For free-standingor slide-in ranges,never completely
removethe leveling legs or the rangewill not besecured
to the anti-tip device properly.
ff you didnot receivean anti-tip bracket with your
purchase, call 1-800-626-8774to receive one at no cost(in
Canada,call 1-800-561-3344).Forinstallation instructions of
the bracket,visit GEAppliances.com(in Canada,
GEAppliances.ca).
• For your safety, never use your range for warming
or heating the room. Your oven and cooktop are
not designed to heat your kitchen. Top burners
should not be operated without cookwaze on the
grate. Such abuse could result in fire and damage
to your range and will void your warranty.
• Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids
in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Explosions or fires could result.
• Do not use oven for a storage area. Items stored in
the oven can ignite.
• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
matezials accumulate in oz neaz the zange.
LOCATION
Do not locate the range where it may be subject to strong
drafts. Any openings in the floor or wall behind the range
should be sealed. Make sure the openings around the
base of the range that supply fresh air for combustion
and ventilation are not obstructed by carpeting or
woodwork.
Your zvmge, like many adler household items, is heaxy
and can settle into soft floor coverings such as cushioned
vinyl or cazpefing. Use care when moving the range
on this type of flooring. It is recommended that the
following simple and inexpensive insmzcfions be
followed to promct your tool
The range should be installed on a sheet of plywood
(or similar material). When the floor covering ends at
the flont of the range, the area that the range will rest
on should be built up with plywood m the same level or
higher than the floor covering.
This will allow file zvmge m be moved for cleaning
or sezMcing. Also, make sure your floor covering will
withstand 180°E (See the Installation Safetylnstructions
section.)
Make sure die wall coverings around your range can
withstand the heat generated (up m 200°F) by the zvmge.
(See the InstallationSafetyInstructionssection.)
IMPORTANT[
Remove all tape and packaging. Make sure the burners
are properly seated and level.
Lift up the cooktop (on models with standard twin
burners) and remove any packing material under it.
Take the accessory pack out of the oven and/or drawer.
Check to be sure that no range parts have come loose
during shipping.

Installation Instructions
IT] PROVIDE ADEQUATE
GAS SUPPLY
Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of 4" of
water column on natural gas or, if designed for LP gas
(propane or butane), 10" of water colmnn.
Make sure you are supplying your range widl die type
of gas for which it is designed.
This range is convertible for use on natural or
propane gas. If you decide to use dlis range on I,P gas,
conversion must be made by a qualified LP installer
before attempting to operate the range on dmt gas.
For proper operation, die pressure of natural gas
supplied to the regulator must be between 4" and 13"
of water cohmm.
For LP gas, die pressure supplied must be between 10"
and 13" of water cohmm.
_4qlen checking for proper operation of die regulator,
tile inlet pressure must be at least 1" greater dmn tile
operating (manifold) pressure as given above.
The pressure regulator located at the inlet of die range
manifold must remain in the supply line regardless of
whedler naumd or LP gas is being used.
A flexible metal appliance connector used to connect die
range to the gas supply line should have an I.D. of 1/2"
and be 5 feet in length for ease of installaOon. In Canada,
flexible connectors must be single wall metal connectors
no longer than 6 feet in length.
CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS
Shut off the main gas supply valve before disconnecting
the old range and leave it off until the new hookup has
been completed. Don't forget to relight the pilot on other
gas appliances when you turn the gas back on.
Because hard piping restricts movement of the range,
the use of a CSA Inmrnafional-cerfified flexible metal
appliance connector is recommended unless local codes
require a hard-piped connection.
Never use an old connector when installing a new range.
If the hard piping method is used, you must carefidly
align the pipe; the range cannot be moved after the
connection is made.
To prevent gas leaks, put pipe joint compound on, or
wrap pipe thread tape with Teflon* around, all male
(exmrnal) pipe threads.
A. Install a manual gas line stmt-offvalve in the gas line in
an easily accessed location outside of the range. Make
sure everyone operating the range knows where and
how m shut off" the gas supply m the range.
B. Install male 1/2" flare union adapter to the 1/2" NPT
inmrnal thread at inlet of regulator. Use a backup
wrench on the regulator fitting m avoid damage.
When installing die range flom die flont, remove die
90 ° elbow for easier installation.
C. Install male 1/2" or 3/4" flare union adapter m die
NPT inmrnal dnead of the manual shut-off valve,
raking care m back-up the strut-off valve m keep it
flom arming.
D. Connect flexible metal appliance connector to the
adapter on the range. Position range m permit
connection at the strut-off valve.
E.
When all connections have been made, make sure
all range controls are in die offposifion and turn on
die mMn gas supply valve. Use a liquid leak detector
at all joints and connections to check for leaks in
die system.
WARNING: DO NOT USE A FLAME
TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig to
pressure test tile gas supply system of tile residence,
disconnect the range and individual strut-off valve
flom the gas supply piping. When using test pressures
of 1/2 psig or less to test the gas supply system, simply
isolate the range flom the gas supply system by closing
the individual shut-off vane.
