WARNING!
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
TheCalifornia Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to
publish a list ofsubstances known to thestate to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm, and
requires businesses to warn customers ofpotential exposure to such substances.
Gasappliances 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 LPfuels. 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.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Have the installer show you the location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to shut itoff if
necessary.
Have your range installed and properly
grounded bya qualified installer,in
accordance with the Installation Instructions.
Anyadjustment and service should be
performed onlyby qualified gasrange
installersor service technicians.
Do notattempttorepairor replaceany
partofyour rangeunlessitisspecifically
recommended inthismanual.Allotherservice
shouldbe referredto a qualifiedtechnician.
iiiiiiiiiiiii!
Plug your range into a 120-volt grounded
outlet only. Donot remove the round
grounding prong from the plug. If in doubt
about the grounding of the home electrical
system, it isyour personal responsibility and
obligation to have an ungrounded outlet
replaced with a properly grounded,
three-prong outlet in accordance with
the National Electrical Code. Donot use
an extension cord with this appliance.
WARNING:NEVERusethis
appliance as a space heater to heat or
warm the room. Doing so may result
in carbon monoxide poisoning and
overheating of the oven.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path
and out of draftg locations to prevent pilot
outage (on standing pilot models) and poor
air circulation.
Be sure all packaging materials are
removed from the range before operating
itto prevent fire or smoke damage should
the packaging material ignite.
Be sure gour range iscorrectlg adjusted bg
a qualified service technician or installer for
the tgpe of gas (natural or LP)that isto be
used. Your range can be converted for use
with either tgpe of gas. See the Installation
of the range section.
WARNING:These adjustments must
be made bg o qualified service technician
in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions and all codes and requirements
of the authoritg having jurisdiction. Failure
to follow these instructions could result in
serious injurg or propertg damage. The
qualified agencg performing this work
assumes responsibilitg for the conversion.
Be careful when gou clean the cooktop
because the area over the pilot (on standing
pilot models) will be hot.
After prolonged use of a range, high floor
temperatures mag result and mang floor
coverings will not withstand this kind of use.
Never install the range over vingl tile or
linoleum that cannot withstand such tgpe
of use. Never install itdirectlg over interior
kitchen carpeting.
Donot leave children alone or unattended
where a range ishot or in operation. Theg

Theg could damage the range and even tip it
over, causing severe personal injurg.
CAUTION: Items of interest to children
should not be stored in cabinets above a
range or on the bocksplosh of o range-
children climbing on the range to reach
items could be seriouslg injured.
Clean onlg parts listed in this Owner's Manual.
iiiiiiiiiiiii!
Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments
while using the appliance. Be careful when
reaching for items stored in cabinets over the
range. Flammable material could be ignited

COOK MEATAND POULTRY'THOROUGHLY'...
Cook meat and poultry thoroughlg-meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultrg to
at least an INTERNALtemperature ofl 80°K Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against
foodbome illness.
OVEN
Stand awag from the range when opening the door ofa hot oven. Thehot air and steam that escape
can cause burns to hands, face and eges.
Donot use the oven for a storage area.
Items stored in the oven can ignite.
Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
Placethe oven shelves in the desired position
while the oven is cool.
Pulling out the shelf to the stop-lock isa
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also
a precaution against burns from touching hot
surfaces of the door or oven walls. The lowest
position isnot designed to slide.
Donot heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
Never use aluminum foil to line the oven
bottom. Improper use of foil could start
a fire and result in high carbon monoxide.
WARNING:NEVERcover
ang slots, holes or passages in the oven
bottom or cover an entire shelf with
materials such asaluminum foil. Doing
so blocks air flow through the oven and
mag cause carbon monoxide poisoning.

WARNING!
SURFACEBURNERS
Use proper pan s/zeJavoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having fiat
bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. To avoid spillovers, make sure cookware islarge 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
easil_l grasped and remain cool.
Always usethe LITE position (on electric
ignition models) or the HI position (on standing
pilot models) when igniting the top burners
and make sure the burners have ignited.
Never leave the surface burners unattended at
high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
Adjust the top burner flame size so it
does not extend beyond the edge of the
cookware. Excessive flame ishazardous.
Use only dry pot holders-moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns
from 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.
Tominimize the possibility of burns, ignition
of flammable materials and spillage, turn
cookware handles toward the side or back
of the range without extending over adjacent
burners.
Carefully watch foods being fried at a high
flame setting.
Always heat fat slowly, and watch as itheats.
Donot 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.
If a combination of oils or fats will be used in
frying, stir together before heating or as fats
melt slowly.
Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
Use the least possible amount of fat for
effective shallow or deep-fat frying. Fillingthe
pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when
food isadded.
iiiiiiiiiiiii!
Donotflame foods on the cooktop. If you do
flame foods under the hood,turn the fan on.
Donot use a wok on the cooking surface
ifthe wok has a round metal ring that is
placed over the burner grate to support
the wok. This ring acts as a heat trap, which
may damage the burner grate and burner
head. Also, itmay cause the burner to work
improperly. This may cause a carbon
monoxide levelabove that allowed by current
standards, resulting in a health hazard.
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.
Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially
a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat iscool.
Donot leave plastic items on the cooktop-
they may melt ifleft too close to the vent.
Keep all plastics away from the surface
burners.
Toavoid the possibility of a burn, always be
certain that the controls for all burners are at
the OFF position and all grates are cool before
attempting to remove them.
If range islocated 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 service technician. Never
usean open flame to locate a leak.

SURFACEBURNERS(cont.)
Always turn the surface burner controls off
before removing cookware.
Donot lift the cooktop on sealed burner
models. Lifting the cooktop can lead to
damage and improper operation of the range.
When a pilot goes out (on standing pilot
models), you will detect a faint odor of gas
as your signal to relight the pilot. When
relighting the pilot, make sure burner controls
are in the off position, and follow instructions
in this book to relight.
If you smell gas, and you have already made
sure pilots are lit (on standing pilot models),
turn offthe gas to the range and call a
qualified service technician. Never use
an open flame to locate a leak.
Donot place or store items that can melt
or catch fire on the grates, even when the
cooktop isnot being used.
Keeprangecleanand freeofaccumulations
ofgrease orspillovers,which may ignite.

How to Select Flame Size
For safe handling ofcookware,never letthe
flamesextendup the sides of thecookware.
Watch theflame,notthe knob, asyou reduce
heat. Whenfastheating is desired,the flame
sizeon a gasburner shouldmatch the
cookware youare using.
Flameslargerthan the bottom ofthe
cookwarewill notresult in faster heating
ofthecookware and could be hazardous.
Top-of-Range Cookwure
Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is
recommended because itheats quickly
and evenly. Mostfoods brownevenly in an
aluminum skillet. Usesaucepans with tight-
fitting lids when cooking with minimum
amounts ofwater.
Cast-Iron: If heatedslowly, mostskilletswill
givesatisfactory results.
Enamelware: Under some conditions, the
enamelofsome cookwaremay melt. Follow
cookware manufacturer's recommendations
forcooking methods.
Glass: There are two types ofglass
cookware-those forovenuse only and those
fortop-of-range cooking (saucepans,coffee
and teapots).Glass conducts heatvery
slowly.
HeatproofGlass Ceramic: Canbe used for
eithersurfaceor oven cooking.It conducts
heatvery slowly and coolsvery slowly. Check
cookware manufacturer's directionsto be
sureitcanbe used on gasranges.
StainlessSteel: This metal alone haspoor
heating properties and is usually combined
with copper,aluminum or other metals for
improved heatdistribution. Combination
metal skilletsusually work satisfactorily if
they are used with medium heatasthe
manufacturer recommends.
Stove Top Grills Ionmodels with sealed burners)
Donotuse stovetopgrillson yoursealed gas
burners. If you use thestovetopgrill on the
sealed gasburner, it willcause incomplete
combustion and can result in exposure to
carbon monoxide levelsaboveallowable

Never entirely cover a shelfwith aluminum
foil.This willdisturb the heatcirculationand
result in poor baking.
A smaller sheet offoilmay be used to catch a
spillover byplacingiton a lowershelf several
inches belowthefood.
Oven Moisture
As your ovenheats up, thetemperature
changeofthe air in the ovenmay cause
water droplets to form on thedoor glass.
These droplets are harmless and will
evaporate as the ovencontinues to

Using the oven.
Broiling
Broiling is cooking food by direct heatfrom
abovethefood. Most fish and tendercutsof
meat can be broiled. Follow these directions
to keep spatteringand smokingto a
minimum.
Yourrange hasa compartment belowthe
ovenforbroiling.
Both theovenund broiler comportment
doors must be CLOSEDduring broiling.
Turn mostfoods onceduring cooking (the
exceptionis thinfilletsoffish; oil one side,
placethat side down on broiler grid and cook
without turning untildone).Time foods for
about one-halfthetotal cooking time,turn
food, thencontinue to cook to preferred
doneness.

Youcanchangethe distanceof the food
from theheatsource bypositioning a
broiler pan and grid on one ofthreeshelf
positionsinthe broiler compartment-
A(bottom ofbroiler compartment), B
(middle)and C (top).
Preheating thebroiler or ovenis not
necessarg and canproduce poor results.
If meat hasfat or gristle around the edge,
cut vertical slashesthrough bothabout
2" apart. If desired,thefat mag be
trimmed, leavinga lager about 1/8" thick.

Arrange thefood on thegrid and position
the broiler pan on the appropriate shelf

Broiling Guide
The oven and broiler comportmentdoors
must beclosedduring broiling.
Always use a broiler pan and grid.It is
designedto minimize smokingand
spattering by trappingjuices in the
shieldedlowerpart of the pan.
Forsteaks and chops, slash fat evenly
around the outside edgesof the meat.To
slash, cut crosswise through theouterfat
surface just totheedge of the meat. Use
tongs toturn themeat over to prevent
piercing the meat and losingjuices.
Ifdesired, marinate meats or chicken
beforebroiling.Or brushwith barbecue
sauce last 5 to 10 minutesonly.
Whenarranging thefoodon the pan, do
notlet fatty edges hang overthesides
becausedripping fat could soil theoven.

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 blOU
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 standardsrequire products labeled "margarine" to contain at least 80% fat byweight. Low fat spreads,on the
other hand, contain lessfat and more water. Thehigh moisture contentofthese spreads affectsthetextureand flavor
ofbakedgoods. For best results with yourold favorite recipes,use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least
70% vegetable oil.

INJURIEScan result.
INSTALL and CHECKthe
ANTI-TIP bracket following
the instructions supplied
with the bracket.
Toreduce 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.
Tocheck ifthe bracket isinstalled and engaged
properly, carefull_j tip the range forward. Thebracket
should stop the range within 4 inches. If it does not,
the bracket must be reinstalled. If the range ispulled
from the wall for an_t reason, alwa_tsrepeat this
procedure to verif_j the range is properlbl secured
bbl the anti-tip bracket.
Forfree 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 blou 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).
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 range, like many other household items, is
heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings such
as cushioned vinyl or carpeting. Use care when
moving the range on this type of flooring. It is
recommended that the following simple and
inexpensive instructions be followed to protect
your floor.
The range should be installed on a sheet of
plywood (or similar material). 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 level or higher than the floor
covering.
This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning
or servicing. Also, make sure your floor covering
will withstand 180°F. (See the Installation Safety
Instructions section.)
Make sure the wall coverings around your range
can withstand the heat generated (up to 200°F) by
the range. (See the Installation Safety Instructions
section.)
MODEL AND SERIAL NUMBER LOCATION
Depending on your range, you'll find the model
and serial numbers on a label on the front frame of
the range, behind the kick panel or broiler drawer.
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
m PROVIDE ADEQUATE GAS SUPPLY
Your renge is designed to operete et e
pressure of 4" of weter column on neturel gas
or, if designed for LP gas (propane or butane),
10" of water column.
Hake sure you are supplying your range with
the type of gas for which it is designed.
This range isconvertible for use on natural or
propane gas. If you decide to use this range
on LP gas, conversion must be made by a
qualified LP installer before attempting to
operate the range on that gas.
For proper operation, the pressure of natural
gas supplied to the regulator must be between
4" and 13" of water column.
For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be
between 10" and 13" of water column.
When checking for proper operation of the
regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least
1" greater than the operating (manifold)
pressure as given above.
The pressure regulator located at the inlet of
the range manifold must remain in the supply
line regardless of whether natural or LP gas is
being used.
A flexible metal appliance connector used
to connect the range to the gas supply line
should have an I.D.of 1/2" and be 5 feet in
length for ease of installation. 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 end 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 beck on.
Because hard piping restricts movement
of the range, the use of a CSA International-
certified 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 carefully 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 (external) pipe threads.
E_ Install a manual gas line shut-offvalve in the
gas line in an easily accessed location outside
of the range. Hake sure everyone operating the
range knows where and how to shut off the gas
supply to the range.
i-_ Install male 1/2" flare union adapter to the
1/2" NPT internal thread at inlet of regulator.
Use a backup wrench on the regulator fitting
to avoid damage.
F-_ Install male 1/2" or 3/4" flare union adapter to
the NPT internal thread of the manual shut-off
valve, taking care to back-up the shut-off valve
to keep itfrom turning.
[] Connect flexible metal appliance connector
to the adapter on the range. Position range
to permit connection at the shut-off valve.
EDWhen all connections have been made,
make sure all range controls are in the off
position and turn on the main gas supply
valve. Use a liquid leak detector at all joints
and connections to check for leaks in the
system.
WARNING - DO NOT USE A FLAME TO
CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
When using test pressures greater than 1/2
psig to pressure test the gas supply system
of the residence, disconnect the range and
individual shut-off valve from the gas supply
piping. When using test pressures of 1/2 psig
or less to test the gas supply system, simply
isolate the range from the gas supply system
by closing the individual shut-off valve.

Electrical Requirements
220-volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded branch
circuit protected by a 15-amp or 20-amp
circuit breaker or time delay fuse.
Extension Cord Cautions
Because of potential safety hazards
associated with certain conditions, we strongly
recommend against the use of an extension
cord. However, if you still elect to use an
extension cord, it isabsolutely necessary that it
be a UL-listed, 3-wire grounding-type appliance
extension cord and that the current carrying
rating of the cord in amperes be equivalent to,
or greater than, the branch circuit rating.
Grounding
IMPORTANT--(Please read carefullg)
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY,THIS APPLIANCE
MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.
Preferred Method
_nsure proper ground
exists before use
The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates
with a standard 3-prong grounding wall
receptacle to minimize the possibility of
electric shock hazard from this appliance.
The customer should have the wall receptacle
and circuit checked by a qualified electrician
to make sure the receptacle is properly
grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it isthe personal responsibility
and obligation of the customer to have it
replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong
wall receptacle.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT
OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG
FROM THE POWER CORD.
A word about GFCI's--GFCI's are not required
or recommended for gas range receptacles.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCrs)are
devices that sense leakage of current in a
circuit and automatically switch off power
when a threshold leakage level isdetected.
These devices must be manually reset by the
consumer. The National Electrical Code requires
the use of GFCrs in kitchen receptacles installed
to serve countertop surfaces. Performance of
the range will not be affected if operated on
a GFCI-protected circuit but occasional
nuisance tripping of the GFCIbreaker
is possible.
I-_ Usage Situations where Appliance Power
Cord will be Disconnected Infrequentlg.
An adapter may be used only on a
15-amp circuit. Do not use an adapter on
a 20-amp circuit. Where local codes permit,
a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made
to a properly grounded two-prong wall
receptacle by the use of a UL-listed adapter,
available at most hardware stores. The larger
slot in the adapter must be aligned with the
larger slot in the wall receptacle to provide
proper polarity inthe connection of the
power cord.
Temporarg Method
(Adapter plugs not
permitted in Canada)
Ensure proper
ground and firm
Align large connection
prongs/slots before use
CAUTION - Attaching the adapter
ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover
screw does not ground the appliance unless the
cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the
wall receptacle isgrounded through the house
wiring. The customer should have the circuit
checked by a qualified electrician to make
sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
36
background
Instollotion Instructions
I-[I ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (cont.)
When disconnecting the power cord from the
adapter, always hold the adapter with one
hand. If this isnot done, the adapter ground
terminal isvery likely to break with repeated
use. Should this happen, DO NOT USE the
appliance until a proper ground has again
been established.
I-_ Usage Situations where Appliance Power
Cord will be Disconnected Frequentlg.
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations
because disconnecting of the power cord
places undue strain on the adapter and leads
to eventual failure of the adapter ground
terminal. The customer should have the
2-prong wall receptacle replaced with a
three-prong (grounding) receptacle by a
qualified electrician before using the
appliance.
The installation of appliances designed for
mobile home installation must conform with
the Manufactured Home Construction and
Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280
(formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile
Home Construction and Safety, Title 2/4, HUD,
Part 280) or,when such standard is not
applicable, the Standard for Manufactured
Home Installations, latest edition
(Manufactured Home Sites, Communities and
Set-Ups), ANSI A225.1, latest edition, or with
local codes. In Canada, mobile home
installation must be in accordance with the
current CAN/CSA Z240/IVlH Mobile Home
Installation Code.

Determine ifthe bottom burner flames are
burning properly.
With the oven bottom removed, properly
adjusted flames should have approximately
1" blue cones and, if range is supplied with
natural gas, should burn with no yellow
tipping. (With most LP gas, small yellow
tips at the end of outer cones are normal.)
Flames should not lift off burner ports. If lifting
is observed, gradually reduce air shutter
opening until flames are stabilized.
The shutter for the oven burner is near the
back wall of the oven and behind the broiler
drawer.
