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.
Slide-In To prevent accidental tipping of the range, attach it to the wall and floor by installing the
Ranges: Anti-Tip device supplied.
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.
Drop-In To prevent accidental tipping of the range, secure the attached Anti-Tip bracket, under
Ranges: the rear countertop.
To check if the device is installed and engaged properly, lower the oven door and gently
apply medium force at the handle end until movement of the range is detected. Continue
pressing until the anti-tip bracket is engaged and movement stops. A small amount of
movement is acceptable at the back of the range top but it should be stable and not tip
once the anti-tip bracket is engaged.
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.

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 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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.
■ 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.

Using the Warming Zone
The WARMING ZONE, located in the
center of the glass cooktop surface,
will keep hot, cooked food at serving
temperature. Always start with hot food.
Do not use to heat cold food. Placing
uncooked or cold food on the WARMING
ZONE could result in food-borne illness.
Touch the WARMING ZONE
SET•OFF pad.
Touch the number pads 1, 2 or 3
to select low (1), medium (2) or
high (3) warming setting.
Touch the START pad.
To turn the WARMING ZONE off, touch
the WARMING ZONE SET•OFF pad until
WARMER disappears from the display.
For best results, all foods on the
WARMING ZONE should be covered with
a lid or aluminum foil. When warming
pastries or breads, the cover should be
vented to allow moisture to escape.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts
when removing food from the WARMING
ZONE, since cookware and plates will
be hot.
CAUTION: Do not warm food on the
WARMING ZONE for more than two hours.
NOTE: The warming zone will not glow red like
the cooking elements.
HOT will be displayed when the glass
surface is hot and will remain on until
the surface is cool enough to touch.
NOTE: Lower settings may not heat the glass
surface enough to cause the HOT indicator light
to come on.
A warming zone ON light will glow when
the unit is on.
■ Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic
may melt onto the surface and be very difficult
to clean.
■ Use only cookware recommended for
top-of-range cooking.

About the radiant surface units…
The radiant cooktop features heating
units beneath a smooth glass surface.
NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new
cooktop is used for the first time. It is caused by
the heating of new parts and insulating materials
and will disappear in a short time.
NOTE: On models with light-colored glass
cooktops, it is normal for the cooking zones to
change color when hot or cooling down. This is
temporary and will disappear as the glass cools
to room temperature.
The surface unit will cycle on and off to
maintain your selected control setting.
It is safe to place hot cookware on the
glass surface even when the cooktop
is cool.
Even after the surface units are turned
off, the glass cooktop retains enough
heat to continue cooking. To avoid
overcooking, remove pans from the
surface units when the food is cooked.
Avoid placing anything on the surface
unit until it has cooled completely.
■ 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.

Selecting types of cookware.
The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.
Stainless Steel:
recommended
Aluminum:
heavyweight 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, lightweight 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, since 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.
Home Canning Tips:
Be sure the canner is centered over the
surface unit.
Make sure the canner is flat on the
bottom.
Use recipes and procedures from
reputable sources. These are available
from manufacturers such as Ball
®
and
Kerr
®
and the Department of Agriculture
Extension Service.
To prevent burns from steam or heat,
use caution when canning.
Check pans for flat bottoms by
using a straight edge.
Pans with rounded, curved, ridged
or warped bottoms are not
recommended.
Use only flat-bottomed woks.
Wok Cooking
We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed
wok. They are available at your local retail store.
Do not use round-bottom woks. You
could be seriously burned if the wok
tipped over.

Note: Flat-bottomed canners are
required for glass cooktops.
Pots that extend beyond 1″ of
the surface unit’s circle are not
recommended for most surface
cooking. However, when canning
with water-bath or pressure canner,
larger-diameter pots may be used.
This is because boiling water
temperatures (even under pressure)
are not harmful to the cooktop
surfaces surrounding the surface units.
HOWEVER, DO NOT USE LARGE-
DIAMETER CANNERS OR OTHER
LARGE-DIAMETER POTS FOR
FRYING OR BOILING FOODS
OTHER THAN WATER. Most syrup
or sauce mixtures—and all types of
frying—cook at temperatures much
higher than boiling water. Such
temperatures could eventually harm
the glass cooktop surfaces.
Be sure the canner fits over the
center of the surface unit. If your
cooktop or its location does not
allow the canner to be centered
on the surface unit, use smaller-
diameter pots for good canning
results.
Flat-bottomed canners must be
used. Do not use canners with
flanged or rippled bottoms (often
found in enamelware) because
they don’t make enough contact
with the surface units and take
a long time to boil water.
When canning, use recipes and
procedures from reputable
sources. Reliable recipes and
procedures are available from the
manufacturer of your canner;
manufacturers of glass jars for
canning, such as Ball
®
and Kerr
®
brand; and the United States
Department of Agriculture
Extension Service.
Remember that canning is a
process that generates large
amounts of steam. To avoid burns
from steam or heat, be careful
when canning.
NOTE: If your house has low voltage,
canning may take longer than expected,
even though directions have been
carefully followed. The process time will
be shortened by:
(1) using a pressure canner, and
( 2) starting with HOT tap water for fastest
heating of large quantities of water.
CAUTION:
■ Safe canning requires that harmful
microorganisms are destroyed and
that the jars are sealed completely.
When canning foods in a water-bath
canner, a gentle but steady boil must be
maintained for the required time. When
canning foods in a pressure canner, the
pressure must be maintained for the
required time.
■ After you have adjusted the controls,
it is very important to make sure the
prescribed boil or pressure levels are
maintained for the required time.
■ Since you must make sure to process
the canning jars for the prescribed
time, with no interruption in processing
time, do not can on any cooktop
surface unit if your canner is not flat.

To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
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.
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 the
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 7 rack positions.

How to Set the 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.
NOTE: Food can be broiled with the door
closed, but it may not brown as well because
the oven heating element will cycle on and off.
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 START pad.
When broiling is finished, touch the
CLEAR/OFF pad.
NOTE: Broil 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
refrigerator temperature.

Using the probe.
ge.com
For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal food temperature is the best test for doneness. The
temperature probe takes the guesswork out of roasting by cooking foods to the exact doneness you want.
Use of probes other than the one
provided with this product may result in
damage to the probe or oven control.
Use the handles of the probe and plug
when inserting and removing them from
the food and outlet.
■ To avoid damaging your probe, do not use
tongs to pull on the cable when removing it.
■ To avoid breaking the probe, make sure food
is completely defrosted before inserting.
■ To prevent possible burns, do not unplug the
probe from the outlet until the oven has
cooled.
■ Never leave your probe inside the oven during
a self-cleaning cycle.
■ Do not store the probe in the oven.
The temperature probe has a
skewer-like probe at one end and a
plug at the other end that goes into
the outlet in the oven.
After preparing the meat and placing it
on a trivet or a broiler pan grid designed
for broiling, follow these directions for
proper probe placement.
Insert the probe completely into the
meat. It should not touch bone, fat or
gristle.
For roasts with no bone, insert the probe
into the meatiest part of the roast. For
bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe
into the center of the lowest large muscle.
Insert the probe into the center of dishes
such as meat loaf or casseroles.
Insert the probe into the meatiest part of
the inner thigh from below and parallel
to the leg of a whole turkey.

Because heated air is circulated evenly
throughout the oven, foods can be
baked with excellent results using
multiple racks.
The amount of time required for
multi-rack baking may increase slightly
for some foods, but overall time is saved
because two to three times as much food
is cooked at once. Cookies, muffins,
biscuits, and other quick breads give
good results with multi-rack baking.
To cook food on more than one rack in
convection bake, use CONVECTION BAKE
MULTI.
When baking on 3 racks, place one
rack in the second (B) position, one
in the fourth (D) position and one in
the sixth (F) position.

■ Use pan size recommended.
■ Some package instructions for frozen
casseroles or main dishes have been
developed using commercial convection ovens.
For best results in this oven, preheat the oven
and use the temperature on the package.
Convection Fan
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: The convection fan will cycle on
and off while cooking to best distribute
hot air in the oven.
The convection oven 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.
Multi-Rack Convection Baking
Multi-rack position.
The convection fan circulates the heated
air evenly over and around the food
using the bake and broil elements.
When convection baking with only 1 rack,
use CONVECTION BAKE 1 RACK and for best
results place the rack on shelf C or D at the
center of the oven. Cook times may decrease, so
food should be checked earlier than package
directions to make sure that it does not overcook.
Ideal for cooking large casseroles and
lasagna with good results.

Cookware for Convection Cooking
Before using your convection oven,
check to see if your cookware leaves
room for air circulation in the oven.
If you are baking with several pans, leave
space between them. Also, be sure the
pans do not touch each other or the
walls of the oven.
Paper and Plastic
Heat-resistant paper and plastic
containers that are recommended for
use in regular ovens can be used in
convection ovens. Plastic cookware that
is heat-resistant to temperatures of
400°F can also be used.
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.

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.
■ Place the rack in the lowest rack

When baking cookies, you will

Using the proofing and warming features. ge.com
The proofing feature maintains a warm environment useful for rising yeast-leavened products.
How to Set the Oven For Proofing
Place the covered dough in a dish in
the oven on shelf B or C.
NOTE: For best results, cover the dough with a
cloth or with greased plastic wrap (the plastic
may need to be anchored underneath the
container so the oven fan will not blow it off).
Touch the PROOF pad and then the
START pad.
The display will read PrF (proof).
The oven interior light turns on and
remains on during proofing.
The proofing feature automatically
provides the optimum temperature for
the proofing process, and therefore does
not have a temperature adjustment.
Set the KITCHEN TIMER ON/OFF for
the minimum proof time.
When proofing is finished, touch
the CLEAR/OFF pad.
■ To avoid lowering the oven temperature
and lengthening proofing time, do not
open the oven door unnecessarily.
■ Check bread products early to avoid
over-proofing.
NOTE:
■ Do not use the proofing mode for warming
food or keeping food hot. The proofing oven
temperature is not hot enough to hold foods
at safe temperatures. Use the WARM feature
to keep food warm.
■ Proofing will not operate when oven is above
125°F. “HOT” will show in the display.
How to Set the Oven For Warming
The warm feature keeps cooked foods
warm for up to 3 hours after the cooking
function is finished, or it can be activated
independently to keep already cooked
foods warm.
This feature is not designed to reheat
cold food.
To use this feature independently, touch
the WARM pad and then the START pad.
To activate this feature for use after
Timed Baking or Roasting, touch the
WARM pad after setting the desired
length of cooking time and before
touching START.
To Crisp Stale Items
■ Place food in low-sided dishes or pans.
■ For best results, place the food items in
a single layer. Do not stack.
■ Leave them uncovered.
■ Check crispness after 20–30 minutes.
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
containers in the oven.
■ Do not use plastic containers, lids or plastic
wrap.
CAUTION:Plastic containers, lids
or plastic wrap will melt if placed in the oven.
Melted plastic may not be removable and is
not covered under your warranty.

Adjust the oven thermostat—Do it yourself!
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.
To Adjust the Thermostat
Touch the BROIL HI/LO and BAKE
pads at the same time for 3 seconds
until the display shows SF.
Touch the BAKE pad. A two-digit
number shows in the display.
Touch BAKE again to alternate
between increasing and decreasing
the oven temperature.
The oven temperature can be
adjusted up to (+) 35ºF hotter or (-)
35ºF cooler. Touch the number pads
the same way you read them. For
example, to change the oven
temperature 15ºF, touch 1 and 5.
When you have made the
adjustment, touch the START pad to
go back to the time of day display.
Use your oven as you would
normally.

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.

Using the self-cleaning oven. ge.com
The oven door must be closed and all controls set correctly for the cycle to work properly.
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 racks, broiler pan, broiler grid,
probe, all cookware and any aluminum
foil from the oven.
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.
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven
bottom.
How to Set the Oven for Cleaning
Touch the SELF CLEAN LO/STD 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

a. Use a single-edge razor blade
scraper (CERAMA BRYTE
®
Ceramic Cooktop Scraper) to
move the spill to a cool area on
the cooktop.
b. Remove the spill with
paper towels.
Any remaining spillover should be
left until the surface of the cooktop
has cooled.
Don’t use the surface units again
until all of the residue has been
completely removed.
NOTE: If pitting or indentation in the glass
surface has already occurred, the cooktop glass
will have to be replaced. In this case, service will
be necessary.
Damage from Sugary Spills and Melted Plastic
Our testing shows that if you
are cooking high sugar mixtures
such as jelly or fudge and have
a spillover, it can cause
permanent damage to the glass
surface unless the spillover is
immediately removed.
Be careful not to slide pots and
pans across your cooktop. It will
leave metal markings on the
cooktop surface.
These marks are removable using
the CERAMA BRYTE
®
Ceramic
Cooktop Cleaner with the CERAMA
BRYTE
®
Cleaning Pad for Ceramic
Cooktops.
If pots with a thin overlay of
aluminum or copper are allowed
to boil dry, the overlay may leave
black discoloration on the cooktop.
This should be removed
immediately before heating
again or the discoloration may
be permanent.
WARNING: Carefully check the bottom of pans
for roughness that would scratch the cooktop.
