SAFETY INFORMATION

ANTI-TIP DEVICE

To reduce 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.

For Free-Standing and Slide-In Ranges

To check if the bracket is installed and

engaged properly, look underneath the

range to see that the rear leveling leg is engaged in the bracket. On

some models, the storage drawer or kick panel can be removed for easy

inspection. If visual inspection is not possible, slide the range forward,

confirm the anti-tip bracket is securely attached to the floor or wall, and

slide the range back so the rear leveling leg is under the anti-tip bracket.

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.

In Case of a Power Failure

USING THE RANGE: InCaseofaPowerFailure/SurfaceBurners

Surface Burners

In the event of a power failure, the oven is inoperable and no attempt should be made to operate it. However, the

surfaceburnersmaybelitwithamatch.Usingextremecaution,holdalitmatchneartheportsbeneaththesurface

burner cap, then slowly turn the knob to the LITE position. Once lit, surface burners will continue to operate normally.

Lighting a Surface Burner

WARNING

Burners should be operated only

when covered by cookware. Burner flames not

covered by cookware present a risk of fire or

clothing ignition. Never let flames extend beyond the

sides of the cookware. Failure to comply may result

in serious injury.

Make sure all burners are in their correct locations and

fully assembled before attempting to operate any burner.

Selectaburnerandfinditscontrolknob.Pushtheknob

in and turn it to the LITE position.

You will hear a clicking

noise—thesoundofthe

electric spark igniting the

burner. When one burner is

turned to LITE, all burners

will spark. Sparking will

continue as long as the knob

remains at LITE. Once gas

is ignited, turn the knob to

adjust the flame size.

Using the Surface Burners

NOTES:

■ Donotoperatetheburnerforanextendedperiodof

time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the

grate may discolor or chip without cookware to absorb

the heat.

■ Donotattempttodisassembleanyburnerwhileanother

burner is on. Damage to the product may occur.

■ Besuretheburnersandgratesarecoolbeforeyou

place your hand, a pot holder or cleaning materials

on them.

Your rangetop offers convenience, cleanability and

flexibility for a wide range of cooking applications.

The smallest burner is the simmer burner. A simmer

burner turned down to LO provides precise cooking

performance for foods such as delicate sauces that

require low heat for a long cooking time.

Selecting a Flame Size

Watch the flame, not the knob, as you adjust heat. When

rapid heating is desired, the flame size should match the

size of the cookware you are using. Flames larger than

the bottom of the cookware will not heat faster and may

be hazardous.

These flames are too large for the pot

Pushthecontrolknobinand

turn it to the LITE position.

Types of Surface Burners

Round Burner

Usethisburnerforgeneralcookingpurposes.

Size cookware appropriately to the flames.

Oval Burner (on some models)

Usethisburnertocookonthegriddle.

8 49-2000316 Rev. 8

USING THE RANGE: Surface Burners

Surface Burners (Cont.)

Stove Top Grills

Do not use an after-market stove top grill on your

gas surface burners. A stove top grill will cause

incomplete combustion resulting in carbon monoxide

levels above allowable standards. This could be

hazardous to your health.

Using a Wok

Useonlyaflat-bottomedwokwithadiameterof14inches

or less. Make sure the wok bottom sits flat on the grate.

Donotuseawoksupportring.Placingtheringoverthe

burner or grate may cause the burner to work improperly,

resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable

standards. This could be hazardous to your health.

Useaflat-bottomedwok.

Do not use stove top grills

Top-of-Range Cookware

Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is recommended

because it heats quickly and evenly. Most foods brown

evenlyinanaluminumskillet.Usesaucepanswithtight-

fitting lids when cooking with minimum amounts of water.

Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor heating

properties and is usually combined with copper,

aluminum or other metals for improved heat distribution.

Combination metal skillets usually work satisfactorily if

they are used with medium heat or as the manufacturer

recommends.

Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give

satisfactory results.

Enamelware:Undersomeconditions,theenamel

of some cookware may melt. Follow the cookware

manufacturer’s recommendations for cooking methods.

Glass:Therearetwotypesofglasscookware—those

for oven use only and those for top-of-range cooking

(saucepans,coffeeandteapots).Glassconductsheat

very slowly.

Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for either

surface or oven cooking. It conducts heat very slowly and

cools very slowly. Check the cookware manufacturer’s

directions to be sure it can be used on gas ranges.

49-2000316 Rev. 8 9

USING THE RANGE: Griddle

Griddle (on some models)

Using Your Nonstick Aluminum Griddle (on some models)

Your griddle provides an extra-large cooking surface for

meats, pancakes, and other foods usually prepared in

a skillet. Before first use, rinse with hot water and dry

thoroughly.

Griddle Precautions:

■ Donotuseoilonthegriddleforextendedlengthsof

time.Permanentstainingand/orcrazelinesonthe

surface could result.

■ Do not overheat the griddle. Leaving the griddle

burner on at Hi for an extended amount of time

without food can damage the nonstick coating.

■ Useonlyplastic,nylon,woodenutensils,or

kitchen tools to prevent marring of the

coating.

■ Neveruseknivesorcutfoodonthegriddle.

■ Donotusemetalutensilswithsharppointsorrough,

sharp edges which might damage the griddle surface.

■ Storecarefullytopreventscratching.

■ Donotplacethegriddleinamicrowaveoven.

■ Ifsomethinghasspilledunderthegriddle,itshouldbe

cleaned up as soon as possible to prevent “baked on”

food soil.

■ Donotallowgreasetoaccumulateunderthegriddle

as it can be a fire hazard. Clean under the griddle with

hot, soapy water as soon as it is cool.

■ Donotcleanyourgriddleinthedishwasher.

■ Donotcleanthegriddleintheself-cleaningoven.

USING THE RANGE: Cooking Modes

Your new oven has a variety of cooking modes to help you get the best results. These modes are described below.

Refer to the Cooking Guide section for recommendations for specific foods. Remember, your new oven may perform

differently than the oven it is replacing.

Bake

The bake mode is for baking and roasting. This mode

uses heat only from the lower burner. When preparing

baked goods such as cakes, cookies and pastries,

always preheat the oven first. To use this mode, press

the Bake pad, use the + and - pads to adjust the

temperature, then press Start.

Broiling Modes

Always broil with the oven door and drawer closed.

Monitorfoodcloselywhilebroiling.Usecautionwhen

broiling on the upper rack positions as placing food

closer to the broil burner increases smoking, spattering,

and the possibility of fats igniting.

Try broiling foods that you would normally grill. Adjust

rack positions to adjust the intensity of the heat to the

food.Placefoodsclosertothebroilburnerwhenaseared

surface and rare interior is desired. Thicker foods and

foods that need to be cooked through should be broiled

on a lower rack position or by using the Broil Lo mode.

Broil Compartment (on some models)

For better searing use the rack position that places

food closest to the broil heater. Move food down for

moredoneness/lesssearing.Takecarenottotouch

the inner door when placing and removing food in broil

compartment.

Broil Hi

The Broil Hi mode uses intense heat from the upper

burnertosearfoods.UseBroilHiforthinnercutsofmeat

and/orwhenyouwouldliketohaveasearedsurfaceand

rare interior. To use this mode press the Broil pad once

and then press Start. It is not necessary to preheat when

using this mode.

Broil Lo

The Broil Lo mode uses less intense heat from the upper

burner to cook food thoroughly while also browning the

surface.UseBroilLoforthickercutsofmeatand/orfoods

that you would like cooked all the way through. To use

this mode press the Broil pad twice and then press Start.

It is not necessary to preheat when using this mode.

Convection Bake (on some models)

The Convection Bake mode is intended for baking

on multiple racks at the same time. This mode uses

air movement from the convection fan to enhance

cooking evenness. Your oven is equipped with Auto

Recipe Conversion, so it is not necessary to adjust the

temperature when using this mode. Always preheat

when using this mode. Baking times may be slightly

longer for multiple racks than what would be expected

for a single rack. To use this mode press the Conv Bake

pad, use the + and - pads to adjust the temperature, and

then press Start. Always preheat when using this mode.

Oven Racks

Cookware

Aluminum Foil and Oven Liners

Recommended rack positions for various types of

foods are provided in the Cooking Guide. Adjusting

rack position is one way to impact cooking results. For

example, if you would prefer darker tops on cakes,

muffins, or cookies, try moving food one rack position

higher. If you find foods are too brown on top try moving

them down next time.

When baking with

multiple pans

and on multiple

racks, ensure

there is sufficient

space between

pans to allow air

flow. This may

improve cooking

eveness.

Removing and Replacing Flat Racks

When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out

tothebump(stopposition)ontheracksupport.

To remove a rack, pull it toward you until it reaches the

stop position, tilt up the front of the rack and pull it out.

To replace a rack,

place the curved end of

the rack onto the rack

supports. Tilt up the front

of the rack and push

the rack in until it stops.

Then lay the rack flat

and push it in until it is

all the way into the oven.

Racks may become

difficult to slide,

especially after a self-

clean cycle. To improve

sliding conditions, use a

soft cloth or paper towel

to rub vegetable oil on

the left and right edges

oftheracksand/orrack

supports.

NOTE: Remove unused racks when using the oven for

faster preheat, improved efficiency and optimal cooking

performance.

Cookware Guidelines

The material, finish, and size of cookware affect baking

performance.

Dark, coated and dull pans absorb heat more readily

thanlight,shinypans.Pansthatabsorbheatmore

readily can result in a browner, crisper, and thicker crust.

If using dark and coated cookware check food earlier

than minimum cook time. If undesirable results are

obtained with this type of cookware consider reducing

oven temperature by 25°F next time.

Shiny pans can produce more evenly cooked baked

goods such as cakes and cookies.

Glass and ceramic pans heat slowly but retain heat well.

These types of pans work well for dishes such as pies

and custards.

Air insulated pans heat slowly and can reduce bottom

browning.

Keep cookware clean to promote even heating.

Stoneware heats slowly and retains heat well. It is

recommended to preheat this type of cookware if

possible. Additional cook time may be required.

CAUTION

Do not use any type of foil or oven liner to cover the oven bottom. These items can trap heat

or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire. Damage from improper use of

these items is not covered by the product warranty.

Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a sheet on a lower rack, several inches below the food. Do not use more

foilthannecessaryandneverentirelycoveranovenrackwithaluminumfoil.Keepfoilatleast1-1/2”fromovenwalls

to prevent poor heat circulation.

The number of rack positions may vary by model.

CARE AND CLEANING: Cooktop

Grate Support Bumpers (on some models)

If any of the rubber grate support bumpers in the cooktop

are missing or damaged, replacement parts can be

obtained by visiting geappliances.com

To insert the new bumpers, simply place the cone-

shaped end of the bumper into the hole in the cooktop

and push down while gently twisting the bumper.

Griddles (on some models)

Nonstick Aluminum Griddle: Avoid scraping the griddle

surface with metal utensils. Wash your griddle with dish

soap and hot water. If necessary, scrub with a non-

abrasive plastic pad.

Griddle Precautions:

■ If something has spilled under the griddle, it should

be cleaned up as soon as possible to prevent the spill

from getting baked onto the cooktop.

■ Do not allow grease to accumulate under the griddle

as it can be a fire hazard. Clean under the griddle with

hot, soapy water as soon as it is cool.

■ Do not wash your griddle in the dishwasher.

■ Donotcleanthegriddleintheself-cleaningoven.

Grate Support Bumpers

Burner Grates

Manual Cleaning

Grates should be washed in hot, soapy water and

rinsed with clean water. To soften burned-on food,

place grates in a solution containing ¼-cup of

household ammonia for several hours. Afterward, scrub

grates with a plastic scouring pad soaked in hot, soapy

water. Rinse well and dry.

Self Clean Mode (on some models)

If your grates do not have rubber bumpers on their

bottom surface, they may be cleaned in the oven using

the self-clean cycle. Do not attempt to clean your grates

in the oven if your grates have rubber bumpers. Doing

so will destroy the rubber bumpers and may affect the

function of your surface burners.

Porcelain-coatedgratesmaygraduallydullifcontinually

exposed to self-clean temperatures.

Yourovenisequippedwithnickel-plated(silver)racks,

it is recommended to follow the instructions for placing

grates on the oven bottom. Nickel-plated racks should

not remain in the oven during the self clean cycle. Doing

so will tarnish the racks. If either type of rack is left in

the oven during a self-clean cycle, the rack may become

difficult to slide.

NOTE: When placing or removing grates from the oven,

do not slide the grates on the racks or oven bottom.

Doing so could damage the enamel on the racks or

oven bottom.

To self clean your grates on the oven bottom:

1. Removeallovenracks.

2. Gently place one grate on the center of the oven

bottom with the grate oriented in the upright position.

Stackremaininggrate(s)asshownbelow.Donot

place or stack grates in any other configuration.

Once the grates are placed in the oven, operate the

self-clean cycle per the instruction in the Cleaning the

Oven section.

NOTE:Usecautionwhenremovingthegratesfromthe

oven after the self-clean cycle has ended. The grates

may still be hot.

Once the self-clean cycle is complete, the grates may

carefully be removed. You may notice a white residue on

the grates. Wipe it off with a damp sponge. If white spots

persist,wetthespongewitha50/50solutionofvinegar

and water and wipe the grates again.

When replacing the grates on the cooktop, be sure to

locate them correctly. Grates should fit securely into

the cooktop.

Cleaning the Oven Door

Cleaning the Door Interior

Do not allow excess water to run into any holes or slots

in the door .

Wipe dish soap over any baked-on spatters on the glass.

Useasinglesidedsafetyrazorbladetocleanitoff.Then

wipe over the glass with a soapy cloth to remove any

residue and dry off.

The area outside the gasket can be cleaned with a soap-

filled plastic scouring pad. Do not rub or clean the door

gasket - it has an extremely low resistance to abrasion.

If you notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or

damaged in any way or if it has become displaced on the

door, you should have it replaced.

Cleaning the Door Exterior

If a stain on the door vent trim is persistent, use a mild

abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results.

Do not use this method on any other surface.

Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)

Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.

To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy

water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe

the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner

instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.

To inquire about purchasing cleaning products

including stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish,

see the Accessories and Consumer Support sections

at the end of this manual.

CARE AND CLEANING: Door and Drawer

Removable Storage Drawer (on some models)

The storage drawer is a good place to store cookware

and bakeware. Do not store plastics or flammable

material in the drawer.

sponge. Never use harsh abrasives or scouring pads.

Problem

Possible Cause What To Do

My new oven doesn't

cook like my old one.

Is something wrong

with the temperature

settings?

Your new oven has a different cooking system

from your old oven and therefore may cook

differently than your old oven.

For the first few uses, follow your recipe times and

temperatures carefully and use rack positions recommended in

the Cooking Guide. If you still think your new oven is too hot or

too cold, you can adjust the temperature yourself to meet your

specific cooking preference. See the Oven Controls section.

Food does not bake

properly

Oven controls improperly set. See the Cooking Modes section.

Rack position is incorrect or rack is not level. See the Cooking Modes section and Cooking Guide.

Incorrect cookware or cookware of improper

size being used.

See the Cookware section.

Oven temperature needs adjustment. See the Oven Controls section.

Food does not broil

properly

Oven controls improperly set. Make sure you select the appropriate broil mode.

Improper rack position being used. See Cooking Guide for rack location suggestions.

Cookware not suited for broiling. Useapanspecificallydesignedforbroiling.

Aluminum foil on the broil pan has not been

fitted properly or slit to drain grease.

If using aluminum foil on broil pan, wrap tightly and add slits

conforming to those in the pan to allow grease to drain.

Oven temperature

too hot or too cold

Oven temperature needs adjustment. See the Oven Controls section.

Oven and/or display

appears not to work

A fuse in your home may be blown or the circuit

breaker tripped.

Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.

Oven controls improperly set. SeetheUsingtheOvensection.

A single bracket "]" shows in the display. PressBake and Broil pads at the same time and hold for

threeseconds."SF"willappearinhedisplay.PresstheSet

Clock pad or the Cook Time pad until "On" appears in the

display and then press Start. The display will change from a

single bracket "]" to the time of day.

The clock is turned off. See the Oven Controls or Special Features section.

“Crackling” or

“popping” sound

This is the sound of the metal heating and cooling

during both the cooking and cleaning functions.

This is normal.

Why is my range

making a "clicking"

noise when using

my oven?

Your range has been designed to maintain a

tighter control over your oven's temperature.

You may hear your oven's heating elements

"click" on and off more frequently than in older

ovens to achieve better results during baking,

broiling, and self-clean cycles.

This is normal.

Clock and timer do

not work

A fuse in your home may be blown or the circuit

breaker tripped.

Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.

Sometimes the oven

takes longer to

preheat to the same

temperature

Cookware,food,and/ornumberofracksin

oven.

Cookware, food, and racks in the oven will cause

differences in preheat times. Remove excess items to

reduce preheat time.

Oven light does not

work

Light bulb is loose or defective. Tighten or replace bulb. See the Maintenance section for

instructions on how to replace the bulb.

Oven will not self-

clean

The temperature is too high to set a self-clean

operation.

Allow the oven to cool and reset the controls.

Oven controls improperly set. See the Care and Cleaning section.

Excessive smoking

during clean cycle

Excessive soil or grease. Turn the Oven Temperature Knob to OFF. Wait until the

Oven cools below the unlocking temperature. Open the

windows to rid the room of smoke. Wipe up the excess soil

and reset the clean cycle.

Oven not clean after

a clean cycle

Oven controls improperly set. See the Care and Cleaning section.

Oven was heavily soiled. Clean up heavy spillovers before starting the clean cycle.

Heavily soiled ovens may need to self-clean again.

Strong “burning” or

“oily” odor emitting

from the vent

This is normal in a new oven and will disappear

in time.

To speed the process, set a self-clean cycle. See the Care

and Cleaning section. This is temporary.
