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 or explosion,
electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
All ranges can tip and injury could result.
To prevent accidental tipping of the range, attach
it to the wall by installing the Anti-Tip device
supplied.
To check if the device is installed and engaged
properly, carefully tip the range forward. The
Anti-Tip device should engage and prevent
the range from tipping over.
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.
IMPORTANT:
The health of some birds
is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off
during the self-cleaning cycle of any oven.
Move birds to another well-ventilated room.

■ 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.
■ 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 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.
■ 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 and metal trim parts above
the 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.
WARNING!
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
■ 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.
■ 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 shelf in the desired position
while the oven is cool. If shelves must be
handled when hot, do not let pot holder
contact the heating elements.
■ Pulling out the shelf 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.
■ When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.
■ 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 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.
■Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s
Manual.
■Do not use oven cleaners on self-clean
models. 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.
■Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the
broiler pan, grid and 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.
SELF-CLEANING OVEN
(on some models)
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
vent hood, turn the fan on.
■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.

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
Cleaning the glass cooktop
section.
■When the cooktop is cool, use only the
recommended cleaning cream 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.
Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the controls
have been turned off.

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.
The surface unit will cycle on and off to
maintain your selected control setting.
It is safe to place hot cookware from the
oven or surface on the glass surface when
the surface is cool.
Even after the surface units are turned off,
the glass cooktop retains enough heat to
continue cooking. To avoid over-cooking,
remove pans from the surface units when
the food is cooked. Avoid placing anything
on the surface unit until it has cooled
completely.
Do not slide cookware across the cooktop
because it can scratch the glass—the glass
is scratch resistant, not scratch proof.
■
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.

Selecting types of cookware.
www.GEAppliances.com
The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.
Stainless Steel:
recommended
Aluminum:
heavy weight 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, thin-weight 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, as 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.
Wok Cooking
We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed
wok. They are available at your local retail store.
Do not use woks that have support rings.
Use of these types of woks, with or without
the ring in place, can be dangerous.
Placing the ring over the surface unit will
cause a buildup of heat that will damage
the porcelain cooktop. Do not try to use
such woks without the ring. You could be
seriously burned if the wok tips over.
Use only flat-bottomed woks.

Use medium- or heavy-weight cookware.
Aluminum cookware conducts heat faster
than other metals. Cast-iron and coated
cast-iron cookware are slow to absorb heat,
but generally cook evenly at low to medium
heat settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly
if not combined with other metals.
For best cooking results, pans should be
flat on the bottom. Match the size of the
saucepan to the size of the surface unit.
The pan should not extend over the edge
of the surface unit more than 1 inch.
Not over 1 inch

Using CircuWave
™
.
(on some models)
www.GEAppliances.com
When you set the oven for CircuWave, a
convection fan circulates the hot oven air
over and around the food.
Because heated air is circulated throughout
the oven, foods can be baked on 2 racks at a
time. Multi-rack baking may increase cook
times slightly for some foods, but the overall
time savings are greater than when baking
each rack individually.
Do not turn the CircuWave switch on while
broiling.
For best baking results with two racks, place
the racks in B and D positions.
■Saves time when roasting meats and whole
meals. Time savings will depend on size,
type and amount of food.
■Seals in moisture while the outside of
meats and poultry gets crisp and brown.
■By reducing cooking time, you will save
energy and reduce heat in the kitchen.

Your favorite recipes can be adapted for use
with the CircuWave feature.
To adapt a recipe for multi-rack baking,
reduce the recipe oven temperature by 50°F
and add additional time as needed.
■
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, use the
temperature on the package and add additional
time as needed.
Adapting Recipes…
To Set the Oven for CircuWave
Set the oven control to the desired oven
temperature.
Push the CircuWave switch to the
ON
position to turn the CircuWave convection
fan on.
After cooking is finished, turn the oven off
and push the CircuWave button to the
OFF
position to turn the convection fan off.
Tips When Using CircuWave
■ Be sure to check the internal temperature
of food to make sure that it is cooked
thoroughly. Meat should be cooked to at
least 160°F. and poultry to at least 180°F.
Even though food is nicely browned on
the outside, it may not have reached a safe
internal temperature. Cooking to these
temperatures usually protects against
foodborne illness.
■ Do not turn the CircuWave switch on
during the self-clean cycle.
■ Do not turn the CircuWave switch on
while broiling.
■ For best baking results with two racks,
place the racks in B and D positions.

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.
(on some models)
Before a Clean Cycle
The range must be completely cool in order to set
the self-clean cycle.
We recommend venting with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood
during the first self-clean cycle.
Remove the shelves, broiler pan, broiler
grid, all cookware and any aluminum foil
from the oven.
The oven shelves 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.
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.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover
is in place and the oven light is off.
How to Set the Oven for Cleaning
Latch the door.
Turn the Oven Temperature knob to
CLEAN.
Clean cycle time is normally 4 hours and
20 minutes. On models with
COOK TIME

. Never
force the latch handle. You may damage
the door lock.
To stop a clean cycle,
turn the Oven
Temperature knob to
OFF
. Wait until the
oven has cooled and unlatch the door.
How to Delay the Start of Cleaning
(on some models)
You may notice some white ash in the oven.
Wipe it up with a damp cloth after the
oven cools.
If white spots remain, remove them with a soap-
filled steel-wool pad and rinse thoroughly with a
vinegar and water mixture.
These deposits are usually a salt residue
that cannot be removed by the clean cycle.
If the oven is not clean after one clean cycle,
repeat the cycle.
■You cannot set the oven for cooking until
the oven is cool enough for the door to
be unlatched.
■While the oven is self-cleaning, you can
press the
CLOCK
pad to display the time of
day. To return to the clean countdown,
press the
COOK TIME ON/OFF

■If the shelves become hard to slide,
apply a small amount of vegetable oil

the edges of the oven shelves with the
paper towel.

The oven door is removable for cleaning.
Do not lift the door by the handle. Make sure the
oven is completely cool.
To remove the door,
open it to the special stop
position. Grasp firmly on each side and lift
the door straight up and off the hinges.
Do not place hands between the hinge and the oven
door frame.
To replace the door,
make sure the hinges are
in the special stop position. Position the
slots in the bottom of the door squarely over
the hinges and slowly lower it over both
hinges.
To clean the inside of the door:
■Soap and water will normally do the job.
Heavy spattering or spillovers may require
cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner.
Soap-filled, steel-wool pads may also be
used.
Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid
content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit
juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface. They
may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
To clean the outside of the door:
■Use soap and water to thoroughly clean
the top, sides and front of the oven door.
Rinse well. You may also use a glass
cleaner to clean the glass on the outside
of the door. Do not let water drip into the
vent openings.
■Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato
sauces and basting materials containing
acids may cause discoloration and should
be wiped up immediately. When surface is
cool, clean and rinse.
■Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning
powders or harsh abrasives on the
outside of the door.
Lift the door straight up and off the
hinges.
The gasket is designed with a gap at
the bottom to allow for proper air
circulation.
Because the area inside the gasket is
cleaned during the self-clean cycle,
you do not need to clean this by hand.
The area outside the gasket and the
front frame can be cleaned with a
soap-filled steel-wool pad, hot water
and detergent. Rinse well with a
vinegar and water solution.
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.

and result in sparking or fire.
Do not allow a film from the cleaner to build up on
the temperature sensor—it could cause the oven to
heat improperly. (The sensor is located at the top of
the oven.) Carefully wipe the sensor clean after each
oven cleaning, being careful not to move the sensor
as a change in its position could affect how the
oven bakes.
Do not spray any oven cleaner on the oven door,
handles or any exterior surface of the oven, cabinets
or painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage these
surfaces.

Lift the surface unit about 1 inch above the
drip pan and pull it out.
Do not lift the surface unit more than 1
″
. If you do,
it may not lie flat on the drip pan when you plug it
back in.
Repeated lifting of the surface unit more than
1 inch above the drip pan can permanently
damage the receptacle.
To replace a surface unit:
Replace the drip pan into the recess in the
cooktop. Make sure the opening in the pan
lines up with the receptacle.
Insert the terminals of the surface unit
through the opening in the drip pan and
into the receptacle.
Guide the surface unit into place so it rests
evenly.
Do not immerse the surface units in
liquids of any kind.
Do not clean the surface units in a
dishwasher.
Do not bend the surface unit plug
terminals.
Do not attempt to clean, adjust or in any
way repair the plug-in receptacle.
Be sure all surface units are turned
off before raising the cooktop.
Some models have a cooktop that can be
lifted up for easier cleaning. The entire
cooktop may be lifted up and supported
in the up position.
The surface units do not need to be
removed; however, you may remove one to
make raising the cooktop easier. There are
two side supports that lock into position
when the cooktop is lifted up.
After cleaning under the cooktop with hot,
mild soapy water and a clean cloth, lower
the cooktop. Be careful not to pinch your
fingers.
To lower the cooktop, push the rods back
and gently lower the cooktop until it rests
in place.
The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy
but breakable if misused. This finish is
acid-resistant. However, any acidic foods
spilled (such as fruit juices, tomato or
vinegar) should not be permitted to remain
on the finish.
If acids spill on the cooktop while it is hot,
use a dry paper towel or cloth to wipe it up
right away. When the surface has cooled,
wash with soap and water. Rinse well.
For other spills such as fat spatterings, wash
with soap and water or cleansing powders
after the surface has cooled. Rinse well.
Polish with a dry cloth.

Normal Daily Use Cleaning
ONLY
use the recommended cleaning
cream, Cerama Bryte®, on the glass
cooktop. Other creams may not be as
effective.
To maintain and protect the surface of
your glass cooktop, follow these steps:
Before using the cooktop for the
first time, clean it with the cooktop
cleaning cream. This helps protect
the top and makes clean-up easier.
Daily use of the cooktop cleaning
cream will help keep the cooktop
looking new.
Shake the cleaning cream well. Apply
a few drops of the cream directly to
the cooktop.
Use a paper towel or sponge to clean
the entire cooktop surface.
NOTE: It is very important that you DO NOT heat
the cooktop until it has been cleaned thoroughly.
Clean your cooktop after
each spill.

Turn off all surface units. Remove
hot pans.
Wearing an oven mitt:
a. Use the razor 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 cleaning cream with a scrub
sponge and/or razor scraper.
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.

Flooring Under the Range
Your range, like many other household items, is heavy and
can settle into soft floor coverings such as cushioned vinyl
or carpeting.
When moving the range on this type of flooring,
it should be installed on a 1/4″thick sheet of
plywood (or similar material) as follows:
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.
Prepare for Electrical Connection
Effective January 1, 1996 the National Electric
Code requires that new construction (not
existing) utilize a 4-conductor connection to
an electric range.
When installing an electric range in new
construction follow Steps 3 and 5 for 4-wire
connection.
Use only a 3-conductor or a 4-conductor UL-listed
range cord. These cords may be provided with ring
terminals on wire and a strain relief device.
A range cord rated at 40 amps with 125/250
minimum volt range is required. A 50 amp range
cord is not recommended but if used, it should be
marked for use with nominal 1
3
⁄8″diameter
connection openings. Care should be taken to
center the cable and strain relief within the
knockout hole to keep the edge from damaging the
cable.
NOTE: A 4-conductor cord is to be used when the appliance is
installed in a mobile home or when local codes do not permit
grounding through the neutral. If conduit is being used, go to
Step 6 or 7.
Installation Instructions.
3-Wire Power Cord Installation
WARNING:
The neutral or ground
wire of the power cord must be connected to
the neutral terminal located in the center of
the connector block. The power leads must be
connected to the outside (brass-colored)
terminals.
Remove the 3 wire terminal screws from the
connector block. Insert screws through each power
cord terminal ring and into the connector block
until the screws engage the nuts. Be certain that the
center wire is connected to the center screw of the
connector block. Tighten screws securely.
DO NOT remove ground strap connection.
Power Cord Strain Relief Installation
A. Remove the lower rear range wiring cover to
expose the connector block and bracket.
B. Remove the knockout ring (1
3
⁄8″) located on
bracket directly below the connector. To remove
the knockout, use a pair of pliers to bend the
knockout ring away from the bracket and twist
until ring is removed.
C. Assemble the strain relief in the hole. Insert the
power cord through the strain relief and tighten.
Allow enough slack to easily attach the cord
terminals to the connector block. If tabs are
present at the end of the winged strain relief,
they can be removed for better fit.
NOTE: Do not install the power cord without a strain relief.
The strain relief bracket should be installed before
reinstalling the rear range wiring cover.
