A WARNING!
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
TheCalifornia Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement 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 ofpotential exposure to such substances.
Gasappliances can cause minor exposure to four ofthese 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 theinstaller show you the location oftherange gas shut-off volve and how to shut itoff ifnecessory.
Have your range installed and properly Plug your range into a 120-volt grounded
grounded by a qualified installer, in
accordance with the Installation Instructions.
Any adjustment and service should be
performed only by qualified gas range
installers or service technicians.
Donot attempt to repair or replace any
part of your range unless itisspecifically
recommended in this manual. All other service
should be referred to o qualified technician.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
4
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path
and out of drafty locations to prevent 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 your range iscorrectly adjusted by
a qualified service technician or installer for
the type of gas (natural or LP)that is to be
used. Your range can be converted for use
with either type of gas. See the Installation
of the range section.
WARNING: Theseadjustments
must be made by a qualified service
technician in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions and all codes
and requirements of the authority having
jurisdiction. Failure to follow these instructions
could result in serious injury or property
damage. The qualified agency performing
this work assumes responsibility for the
conversion.
After prolonged use of a range, high floor
temperatures may result and many floor
coverings will not withstand this kind of
use. Never install the range over vinyl tile
or linoleum that cannot withstand such type
of use. Never install it directly over interior
kitchen carpeting.
Donot leave children alone or unattended
where a range ishot or in operation. They
could be seriously burned.
Donot allow anyone to climb, stand or hang
on the oven door,storage drawer, warming
drawer or cooktop. They could damage the
range and even tip it over, causing severe
personal injury.
CAUTION:Itemsofinterest
to 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 injured.
A 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.
Neverwear loose-fitting or hanging garments
while using the appliance. Becareful when
reachingfor items stored in cabinets overthe
range.Flammable material could be ignited
ifbrought in contactwith flameorhot oven
surfacesand may cause severeburns.
Donot store flammable materials in an oven,
a range storage drawer, a warming drawer
or near a cooktop.
Donot store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity ofthis or any other
appliance.
Donot let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the range.
Donot use water on grease fires. Never pick
up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.
Smother a flaming pan on a surface burner
bycovering 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 itwith baking soda or,
if available, by using a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
Flame in the oven or warming drawer can
be smothered completely by closing the oven
door and turning the control to off or by using
a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.
Letthe burner grates and other surfaces cool
before touching them or leaving them where
children can reach them.
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 ofthe 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.

A 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. 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 easily grasped and remain cool
Always usethe LITE position when igniting
the top burners and make sure the burners
hove ignited.
Never leave the surface burners unattended
at high flume 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
cookwure. Excessive flume 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 flumes when lifting cookwure. Do not use
u towel or other bulky cloth in place of u pot
holder.
When using glass cookwure, make sure
it isdesigned for top-of-range cooking.
To minimize the possibility of burns,
ignition of flammable materials and spillage,
turn cookwure handles toward the side or
back of the range without extending over
adjacent burners.
Carefully watch foods being fried at u high
flume setting.
Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
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 offat can cause spillovers when
food isadded.
Donot flame foods on the cooktop. If you do
flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
Do not 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, 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 frying should be as dry aspossible.
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 is cool.
Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop-
they may melt ifleft 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 for all burners are at
the OFF position and all grates are cool before
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 service technician. Never
use an open flame to locate a leak.
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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
COOKMEATAND POULTRYTHOROUGHLY...
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly-meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of l60°F and poultry
to at least an INTERNAL temperature of l80°K Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against
foodbome illness.
OVEN
Stand away from the range when opening the door of a hot oven. Thehot air and steam that escape
can cause bums to hands, face and eyes.
Donot use the oven for a storage area.
Items stored in the oven can ignite.
Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
Placethe oven racks in the desired position
while the oven iscool.
Pulling out the rack to the stop-lock isa
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It isalso
a precaution against burns from touching hot
surfaces ofthe 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.
A WARNING: NEVERcover
any slots, holes or passages in the oven
bottom or cover an entire rack with
materials such asaluminum 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.
Donot use aluminum foil anywhere in
the oven except asdescribed in this manual.
Misuse could result in a fire hazard or damage
to the range.
When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer's directions.
Donot use your oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch fire.
Use only glass cookware that isrecommended
for use in gas ovens.
Always remove any broiler pan from range
as soon as you finishbroiling. Greaseleft in
the pan cancatch fireif oven is used without
removing thegrease from the broiler pan.
When broiling, ifmeat is too close to the flame,
the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to prevent
excessive flare-ups.
Makesureanybroiler pan is in place correctly
to reduce the possibilityofgrease fires.
Ifyou should have a grease fire in a broiler
pan,touch the Clear/Off pad, and keep
the oven door closed to contain fire until
it burns out.
Forsafety and proper cooking performance,
always bake and broil with the oven door
closed.

How to Select Flame Size
For safe handling ofcookware, never let the
flamesextend up thesidesofthecookware.
Watch theflame,notthe knob,asyoureduce
heat. Whenfast heatingis desired,theflame
size on a gasburner shouldmatch the
cookware youare using.
Flames larger thanthe bottom of the
cookware willnot result infaster heating
ofthe cookwareand couldbe hazardous.
GEAppliances.com
Top-of-Range Cookware
Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware
is recommended because itheats quickly
and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in
an aluminum skillet. Usesaucepanswith
tight-fitting lids when cooking with minimum
amounts ofwater.
Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets
willgive satisfactory results.
Enamelware: Under some conditions,
theenamel ofsome cookwure may melt.
Follow cookware manufacturer's
recommendations for cooking methods.
Glass: There are two typesofglass
cookware-those forovenuseonly and those
fortop-of-range cooking (saucepans,coffee
and teapots). Glassconducts heatvery slowly.
HeatproofGlass-Ceramic: Can be used for
eithersurfaceor oven cooking.It conducts
heatvery slowlyand cools very slowly. Check
cookware manufacturer's directionsto be
sureitcanbe usedon gasranges.
Stainless Steel: This metal alone haspoor
heating properties and is usually combined
with copper, aluminum or other metals for
improved heatdistribution. Combination
metal skillets usually work satisfactorily
ifthey are used with medium heat
as the manufacturer recommends.
Stove Top Grills (onmodels with sealed burners)
Donotuse stovetop grills on your sealed gas
burners. If youuse thestovetop grill on the
sealed gasburner, itwillcause incomplete
combustion and can result in exposure to
carbon monoxide levels aboveallowable
current standards.
Thiscanbe hazardous to your health.
i ! ii
Usea flat-bottomed wok.
Wok This Way (on models with sealed burners)
We recommend that you use a 14" orsmaller
flat-bottomed wok. Make sure the wok bottom
sits flat on the grate. They are available at your
local retailstore.
Only a flat-bottomed wok shouldbe used.
Do notuse a flat-bottomed wok on a support
ring.Placingthe ring overtheburner or grate
may cause the burner towork improperly,
resulting in carbon monoxide levelsabove
allowablestandards. Thiscould be dangerous
toyour health.
In Case of Power Failure
Incaseof a power failure,youcan light

The type of margarine willaffect baking performance!
Most recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat).
Ifyou decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher-fat product.
Recipe failure can result ifcakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low-fat spreads. Thelower 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-fatspreads,
on the otherhand,contain less fat and morewater. The high moisturecontent ofthese spreads affectsthetexture and flavor
ofbakedgoods. For best resultswith your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least 70%
vegetable oil.

WARNING! ANTI-TIP DEVICE
• All ranges can tip.
• BURNS or other SERIOUS
INJURIES can result.
•INSTALL and CHECKthe
ANTI-TIPbracket following
the instructions supplied
with the bracket.
To reduce theriskoftippingtherange, therange must
be securedbya properlyinstalledanti-tip bracket. See
installationinstructions shippedwith thebracket for
completedetailsbefore attempting toinstall.
To check if thebracket isinstalledand engagedproperly,
carefully tiptherange forward. Thebracket shouldstop the
range within 4 inches.If itdoes not, thebracket mustbe
reinstalled.If therange is pulled from thewallforany
reason,alwaysrepeat this proceduretoverify therange
is properlysecuredbythe anti-tip bracket.
For free-standing or slide-inranges,never completely remove
thelevelinglegs or the range willnotbe secured
totheanti-tip device properly.
Ifyou did notreceive an anti-tip bracket with your purchase,
call 1.800.626.8774toreceiveone atno
cost (in Canada,call 1.800.561.3344).For installation
instructions ofthebracket, visit GEAppliances.com
(inCanada, GEAppliances.ca).
Foryour safety, never useyour 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 cookwore on the grate. Suchabuse
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. Explosionsor fires could result.
Do not use oven for o storage area. Items stored
in the oven can ignite.
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials
accumulate in or near the range.
36
Installation Instructions
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.
Yourrange,like many other householditems, is heavy and
cansettleintosoftfloor coverings such ascushioned vinyl
or carpeting.Use carewhen moving the range on this type
offlooring. It is recommended that thefollowing simple and
inexpensive instructionsbe followed to protect yourfloor.
The range shouldbe installed on a sheet ofplywood
(orsimilar material).When thefloorcovering ends at
thefront of the range, thearea that the range will rest
on shouldbe builtup with plywood tothe same level
or higher than thefloorcovering.
Thiswillallowthe range to be moved forcleaning
or servicing.Also, make sure yourfloor covering will
withstand 180°F.(SeetheInstallation Safety Instructions
section.)
Hake sure thewall coverings around your range can
withstand theheatgenerated (upto 200°F)bytherange.
(Seethe Installation SafetyInstructions section.)
ITI PROVIDE ADEQUATE GASSUPPLY
This range is designed for an operating manifold
pressure of 4" or S" water column (W.C.)on natural gas
(see rating label on product) or 10" W.C. on LPgas.
Thisrange comesfrom thefactory set for use on natural
gas, butitis convertiblefor use on LPgas. If youdecideto
use this range on LPgas,conversionmust be made by a
qualified LPinstaller beforeattempting to operatethe
range.
Forproper operation, the inletpressureto theregulator
shouldbe at least 1" W.C.abovethe operating manifold
pressure but mustnotexceed 14"W.C.
The pressure regulator located attheinletoftherange
manifold mustremain in thesupply line regardless of
whether naturalor LP gas isbeing used. When checking for
proper operation of the regulator, the inletpressure mustbe
at least 1" greaterthan theoperating manifold pressure.
A flexible metal applianceconnector used to connectthe
range to thegassupply line should have an I.D.of1/2"and
be 5 feet in length for ease of installation. In Canada,
flexible connectors must be single wallmetal connectors no
longer than 6 feet in length.
[] CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS
Shutoffthe main gassupply valve before disconnecting
the old range and leaveit off until the newhookup has
been completed. Don't forget to relight the pilot on other
gasappliances when you turn the gasback on.
Because hard piping restrictsmovement of the range,
the use ofa CSAInternational-certified flexible metal
applianceconnector is recommended unless local codes
require a hard-piped connection.
Never use an old connector when installing a new range.
If thehard piping method is used,youmust carefullyalign
the pipe;the range cannot be moved after theconnection
ismade.
To prevent gasleaks,putpipe-joint compound on, or wrap
pipe-thread tapewith Teflon*around,all male (external)
pipe threads.
A.Install a manualgas line shut-off valve in thegasline
in an easily accessed location outside ofthe range.
Hake sure everyone operating therange knowswhere
and howtoshut offthe gassupply tothe range.
B. Installmale1/2" flare union adapter tothe 1/2" NPT
internalthread at inlet of regulator. Usea backup wrench
on the regulatorfitting toavoiddamage.
Wheninstalling the range from thefront, remove the 90°
elbowforeasierinstallation.
C. 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 it from turning.
D.Connect flexible metal appliance connector to
the adapter on the range. Position range to permit
connection at the shut-off valve.
E.Whenall connections have been made, make sure
all range controls are in theoff position and turn on
the maingassupply valve. Usea liquid leak detector
at alljoints and connections tocheckforleaks in
the system.
WARNING: DO NOTUSEA FLAME
TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
When usingtest pressures greater than 1/2 psig to
pressure test the gas supply system ofthe 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 gassupply system, simply isolate
the range from the gas supply system byclosing the
individual shut-off valve.
