IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

i-4,WARNING i

Read all safety instructions before using the product. Failure to follow these instructions may result in fire, electric

shock, serious injury or death.

ANTI-TIP DEVICE

• All ronges con tip.

• BURNS or other SERIOUS

INJURIES can result.

• INSTALL and CHECK the

ANTI-TIP bracket following

the instructions supplied

with the bracket.

To reduce the risk of tipping the range, the range must

be secured by a properl_l installed anti-tip bracket. See

installation instructions shipped with the bracket for complete

details before attempting to install

For Freestanding Ranges:

To check ff the bracket is installed and engaged properly,

remove the storage drawer or kick panel and look underneath

the range to see that the leveling leg is engaged in the

bracket. On models without a storage drawer or kick panel,

carefully tip the range forward. The bracket should stop the

range within 4 inches. If it does not, the bracket must be

reinstalled. If the range is pulled from the wall for any reason,

always repeat this procedure to verify the range is properly

secured by the anti-tip bracket.

Never completely remove the leveling legs or the range will

not be secured to the anti-tip device properly.

For Slide-In Ranges:

To check if the bracket is installed and engaged properly,

remove the storage drawer or kick panel and look

underneath the range to see that the leveling leg is engaged

in the bracket.

For Drop-In Ranges:

To check if the bracket 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 it does not, the bracket must be reinstalled.

If you did not receive an anti-tip bracket with your purchase,

call 1.800.626.8774 to receive one at no cost (in Canada, call

1.800.561.3Bq4). For installation instructions of the bracket,

visit GEAppliances.com (in Canada, GEAppliances.ca).

i-& 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 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.

be left alone or unattended in an area where an

appliance is in use. They should never be allowed

to climb, sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

CAUTION : Do not store items of interest to

children above a range or on the backguard of a

range-children climbing on the range to reach

items could be seriously injured.

_::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.

Never use your appliance for warming or heating

the room.

iiiiiil

iiiiiiili_

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. Other surfaces

of the appliance may become hot enough to cause

burns. Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop,

areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening,

surfaces near the opening and crevices around the

oven door.

Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure

could build up and the container could burst,

causing an injury.

Do not use aluminum foil to line the drip pans or

anywhere in the oven, except as described in this

manual. Misuse could result in damage to the range

and shock or fire hazard.

Avoid scratching or impacting glass doors, cook

tops or control panels. Doing so may lead to glass

breakage. Do not cook on a product with broken

glass. Shock, fire or cuts may occur.

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.

[_/i,WARNING i KEEPFLAMMABLE MATERIALSAWAYFROtvl

THE RANGE.

Do not store or use flammable materials in an oven

or near the cooktop, including paper, plastic, pot

holders, linens, wall coverings, curtains, drapes and

gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids.

Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while

using the appliance. These garments may ignite if

they contact hot surfaces causing severe burns.

Do not let cooking grease or other flammable

materials accumulate in or near the range. Grease

in the oven or on the cooktop may ignite.

Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Grease should

not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

l-& WARNING ] IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE,TAKETHE FOLLOWING

STEPSTO PREVENT THE FIREFROM SPREADING:

_:,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

pun completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet

or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or

foam4ype fire extinguisher.

::, If there is a fire in the oven during baking, smother

the fire by closing the oven door and turning the

oven off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical

or foam4ype fire extinguisher.

If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean,

turn the oven off and wait for the fire to go out.

Do not force the door open. Introduction of fresh

air at self-clean temperatures may lead to a burst

of flame from the oven. Failure to follow this

instruction may result in severe burns.

i-4,WARNING i COOKTOPSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS

Never leave the surface units unattended at

medium or high heat settings. Boilovers cause

smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch

on fire.

_:,Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed

to heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite

resulting in fire that may spread to surrounding

cabinets. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever

possible to monitor oil temperature.

To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum

amount of oil when shallow pan-frying and avoid

cooking frozen foods with excessive amounts of ice.

_:,Use proper pan size-select cookware having flat

bottoms large enough to cover the surface 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.

iii::,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.

When preparing flaming foods under a hood, turn

the fan on.

The type of margarine will affect baking performance!

Most recipes for baking have been developedusing high-fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat).If you decrease

the fat, the recipemabl not give the same resultsas with a higher-fat product.

Recipefailure can result if cakes,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.

Federalstandards requireproducts labeled"margarine"to containat least80%fat bg weight. Low-fatspreads,on the other hand,

contain lessfat and more water.Thehigh moisturecontent of thesespreadsaffects the texture and flavor of baked goods.For !3

best resultswith gearold favorite recipes,usemargarine,butter or stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.

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 baking can also be used

for convection baking but should not be

used at temperatures higher than the

temperature recommended by the

cookware manufacturer. 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.

with an abrasive cleaner or steel wool.

After cleaning, rinse the racks with clean

water and dry with a clean cloth. Gray

porcelain-coated oven racks may remain

in the oven during the self-cleaning cycle

without being damaged. The shiny, silver-

colored oven racks may remain in the oven

during the self-cleaning cycle, but they will

side edges with a light coating of vegetable

oil after cleaning them by hand or in the
