SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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 birth defects or other reproductive harm,
and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon
monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas
or
LP fuels. 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.
WARNING: NEVER use this
appliance as a space heater to heat or
warm the room. Doing so may result
in carbon monoxide poisoning and
overheating of the oven.

Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips Installation Instructions Care and Cleaning Operating Instructions Safety Instructions
■ Locate the range out of kitchen traffic
path and out of drafty locations to prevent
pilot outage (on standing pilot models)
and poor air circulation.
■ Be sure all packaging materials are removed
from the range before operating it to
prevent fire or smoke damage should the
packaging material ignite.
■ Be sure your range is correctly 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: These adjustments 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.
■ Be careful when you clean the cooktop
because the area over the pilot (on
standing pilot models) will be hot.
■ 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.
■ Do not leave children alone or unattended
where a range is hot or in operation. They
could be seriously burned.
■ Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or
hang on the oven door, broiler door or
cooktop. They could damage the range
and even tip it over, causing severe
personal injury.
■
CAUTION: Items of interest 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.
■ Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s
Manual.
■ Never wear loose fitting or hanging
garments while using the appliance. Be
careful when reaching for items stored in
cabinets over the range. Flammable
material could be ignited if brought in
contact with flame or hot oven surfaces
and may cause severe burns.
■ Do not store flammable materials in an
oven, a range broiler or near a cooktop.
■ Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
■ 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
burner 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 control to off or by using a
multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type
fire extinguisher.
■ Let the 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 of the
oven door, and at the bottom of the range
under the broiler door.
■ Large scratches or impacts to glass doors
can lead to broken or shattered glass.

■ Do not use the oven for a storage area.
Items stored in the oven can ignite.
■ Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
■ Place the oven shelves in the desired
position while the oven is cool.
■ 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.
■ Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
■ When using cooking or roasting bags in
the oven, follow the manufacturer’s
directions.
■ Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch fire.
■ Use only glass cookware that is
recommended for use in gas ovens.
■ Always remove the broiler pan from range
as soon as you finish broiling. Grease left
in the pan can catch fire if oven is used
without removing the grease from the
broiler pan.
■ When broiling, if meat is too close to the
flame, the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to
prevent excessive flare-ups.
■ Make sure the broiler pan is in place
correctly to reduce the possibility of
grease fires.
■ If you should have a grease fire in the
broiler pan, turn off the oven control, and
keep the broiler door and oven door
closed to contain fire until it burns out.
■ For safety and proper cooking performance,
always bake and broil with the oven and
broiler doors closed.
■ Never leave jars of fat drippings on or near
your range.
Stand away from the range when opening the door of a hot oven. The hot air and steam that escape
can cause burns to hands, face and eyes.

COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…
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.
WARNING:
NEVER cover
any slots, holes or passages in the oven
bottom or cover an entire rack with
materials such as aluminum 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
SURFACE BURNERS
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 is large
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 use the LITE position (on electric
ignition models) or the HI position (on
standing pilot models) when igniting the
top burners and make sure the burners
have ignited.
■ Never leave the surface burners
unattended at high flame 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
cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous.
■ 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 flames when lifting
cookware. Do not use a towel or other
bulky cloth in place of a pot holder.
■ When using glass cookware, make sure it
is designed for top-of-range cooking.
■ To minimize the possibility of burns,
ignition of flammable materials and
spillage, turn cookware handles toward the
side or back of the range without
extending over adjacent burners.
■ Carefully watch foods being fried at a high
flame setting.
■ Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
■ Do not 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. Filling
the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers
when food is added.
■ Do not 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
if the 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 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.
■ 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 if left 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.
■ Always turn the surface burner controls off
before removing cookware.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
SURFACE BURNERS (cont.)
■ When a pilot goes out (on standing pilot
models), you will detect a faint odor of gas
as your signal to relight the pilot. When
relighting the pilot, make sure burner
controls are in the off position, and follow
instructions in this book to relight.
■ If you smell gas, and you have already
made sure pilots are lit (on standing pilot
models), turn off the gas to the range and
call a qualified service technician. Never
use an open flame to locate a leak.
■ Do not place or store items that can melt
or catch fire on the grates, even when the
cooktop is not being used.
■ Keep range clean and free of
accumulations of grease or spillovers,
which may ignite.
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.
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. Use
care when moving the range on this type of
flooring. It is recommended that the following
simple and inexpensive instructions be
followed to protect your floor.
The range should be installed on a sheet of
plywood (or similar material). 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. Also, make sure your
floor covering will withstand 180°F. (See the
Installation Safety Instructions section).
Make sure the wall coverings around your
range can withstand the heat generated (up to
200°F) by the range. (See the Installation
Safety Instructions section).
Leveling legs are located on each corner of
the base of the range. Your range must be
level in order to produce proper cooking and
baking results. After it is in its final location,
place a level horizontally on any oven shelf
and check the levelness front to back and
side to side. Level the range by adjusting the
leveling legs or by placing shims under the
corners as needed.

Using the gas surface burners.
Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.
Surface Lighting Instructions for Electric Ignition Models
The surface burners on some models are lit by
electric ignition, eliminating the need for standing
pilot lights with constantly burning flames.
In case of a power failure, you can light
the surface burners on your range with
a match. Hold a lit match to the burner,
then turn the knob to the LITE position.
Use extreme caution when lighting burners
this way.
Surface burners in use when an
electrical power failure occurs will
continue to operate normally.
The electrode of the spark igniter is
exposed. When one burner is turned
to LITE, all the burners spark. Do not
attempt to disassemble or clean
around any burner while another
burner is on. An electric shock may
result, which could cause you to
knock over hot cookware.
Surface Lighting Instructions for Standing Pilot Models
The surface burners on these ranges have
standing pilots that must be lit initially.
To light them:
Be sure surface burner control
knobs are in the OFF position.
Lift the cooktop up and prop it
open with the prop rod provided
(see the Care and cleaning of the
range section).
Locate the 2 pilot ports and light
each of them with a match.
To avoid pilot outage, slowly lower
the cooktop after lighting the pilots.
Surface Burner Controls
The knobs that turn the surface burners on and
off are located on the control panel on the front
of the range. The two surface knobs on the left
control the left front and left rear burners. The
two surface knobs on the right control the right
front and right rear burners.
To Use a Surface Burner
Push the control knob in and turn it
to LITE (HI on pilot models). On
electric ignition models, you will
hear a little clicking noise—the
sound of the electric spark igniting
the burner.
After the burner ignites, turn the
knob to adjust the flame size.
After Lighting a Burner
■ Check to be sure the burner you
turned on is the one you want to use.
■ Do not operate a burner for an
extended period of time without
cookware on the grate. The finish on
the grate may chip without cookware
to absorb the heat.
■ Be sure the burners and grates are
cool before you place your hand, a
pot holder, cleaning cloths or other
materials on them.

How to Select Flame Size
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce
heat. The flame size on a gas burner should
match the cookware you are using.
For safe handling of cookware, never let the
flame extend up the sides of the cookware.
Any flame larger than the bottom of the
cookware is wasted and only serves to
heat the handle.
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.
Cast-iron: If heated slowly, most skillets
will give satisfactory results.
Enamelware: Under some conditions,
the enamel of some cookware may
melt. Follow cookware manufacturer’s
recommendations for cooking methods.
Glass: There are 2 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 cookware manufacturer’s
directions to be sure it can be used on
gas ranges.
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 as the manufacturer
recommends.
Never let the flame extend up the
sides of the cookware.
Oven Control
Your oven is controlled by an OVEN TEMP knob.
It can take up to 90 seconds before the flame
comes on.
After the oven reaches the selected
temperature, the oven burner maintains
the selected temperature.

Oven Shelves
The shelves are designed with stop-locks
so when placed correctly on the shelf
supports, they will stop before coming
completely out of the oven and will not
tilt when you are removing food from
them or placing food on them.
When placing cookware on a shelf,
pull the shelf out to the bump on the
shelf support. Place the cookware on the
shelf, then slide the shelf back into the
oven. This will eliminate reaching into
the hot oven.
To remove the shelves from the oven, pull
them toward you, tilt front end upward
and pull them out.
To replace, place shelf on shelf support
with stop-locks (curved extension of
shelf) facing up and toward back of oven.
Tilt up front and push shelf toward back
of oven until it goes past the bump on
the shelf support. Then lower front of
shelf and push it all the way back.

Power Outage—Electric Ignition Models
CAUTION: Do not make any attempt to
operate the electric ignition oven during an
electric power failure. The oven or broiler
cannot be lit during a power failure. Gas
will not flow unless the glow bar is hot.
If the oven is in use when a power failure
occurs, the oven burner shuts off and
cannot be re-lit until power is restored.
This is because the flow of gas is
automatically stopped and will not
resume when power is restored until
the glow bar has reached operating
temperature.
Oven Lighting Instructions for Standing Pilot Models
The standing oven pilot must be lit initially.
To light the oven pilot:
Be sure the OVEN TEMP knob is in
the OFF position.
Open the oven door and
remove the oven bottom. See the
Removable Oven Bottom section in
Care and Cleaning.
Find the oven pilot port at the back
of the oven.
To light the oven pilot, push in

Oven Vents
■ The oven is vented through
duct openings at the front of the
backsplash.
■ Do not block the opening when
cooking in the oven—it is important
that the flow of hot air from the oven
and fresh air to the oven burner be
uninterrupted.
■ The vent openings and nearby surfaces
may become hot during baking and
broiling. Do not touch them.
■ Do not leave plastic items on the
cooktop—they may melt if left too
close to the vent.
■ Handles of pots and pans on the
cooktop may become hot if left too
close to the vent.
■ Metal items will become very hot if
they are left on the cooktop and could
cause burns.
■ Do not 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.
Oven Shelf Positions
The oven has four shelf supports—
A (bottom), B, C and D (top).
Shelf positions for cooking are suggested
in the Using your oven for baking and
Using your oven for roasting sections.
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.
The oven has 4 shelf positions.
Using the oven for baking.
To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
How to Set the Oven For Baking
Close the oven door. Then turn the
OVEN TEMP knob to the desired
temperature.
Check the food for doneness at
the minimum time on the recipe.
Cook longer if necessary. Turn
the OVEN TEMP knob to OFF and
remove the food.
Oven Shelves
Arrange the oven shelf or shelves in the
desired locations while the oven is cool.
The correct shelf position depends on
the kind of food and the browning
desired.
As a general rule, place most foods in
the middle of the oven, on either the
shelf position B or C. See the chart
for suggested shelf positions.
Type of Food Shelf Position
Angel food cake A
Biscuits, muffins or cupcakes B or C
Cookies C or D
Brownies B or C
Layer cakes B or C
Bundt or pound cakes B
Pies or pie shells B or C
Frozen pies (on cookie sheet) B or C
Casseroles B or C
Preheating
Preheat the oven for 10 minutes if
the recipe calls for it. Preheat means
bringing the oven up to the specified
temperature before putting the food
in the oven.
Preheating is necessary for good results
when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and
breads. For most casseroles and roasts,
preheating is not necessary.
Baking Pans
Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish on
the pan determines the amount of browning that
will occur.
■ Glass baking dishes also absorb heat.
When baking in glass baking dishes,
lower the temperature by 25°F and use
the recommended cooking time in the
recipe. This is not necessary when
baking pies or casseroles.
■ Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat
resulting in a browner, crisper crust.
Use this type for pies.
■ Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect
heat, resulting in a lighter, more
delicate browning. Cakes and cookies
require this type of pan.
Pan Placement
For even cooking and proper browning,
there must be enough room for air
circulation in the oven. Baking results will
be better if baking pans are centered as
much as possible rather than being
placed to the front or to the back of
the oven.
Pans should not touch each other or the
walls of the oven. Allow 1 to 1
1
⁄2 inch
space between pans as well as from the
back of the oven, the door and the sides.
If you need to use two shelves, stagger the
pans so one is not directly above the other.
Place most foods in the middle of
the oven.

Cookies
Flat cookie sheets (without sides)
produce better-looking cookies. Cookies
baked in a jelly roll pan (short sides all
around) may have darker edges and pale
or light browning may occur.
Do not use a cookie sheet so large that it
touches the walls or the door of the oven.
Never entirely cover a shelf with a large
cookie sheet.
For best results, use only one cookie
sheet in the oven at a time.
Pies
For best results, bake pies in dark, rough
or dull pans to produce a browner,
crisper crust.
Frozen pies in foil pans should be placed on an
aluminum cookie sheet for baking since the shiny
foil pan reflects heat away from the pie crust; the
cookie sheet helps retain it.
Don’t Peek
Set the timer for the estimated cooking
time and do not open the door to look
at your food. Most recipes provide
minimum and maximum baking times
such as “bake 30–40 minutes.”
DO NOT open the door to check until the
minimum time. Opening the oven door frequently
during cooking allows heat to escape and makes
baking times longer. Your baking results may also
be affected.
Cakes
When baking cakes, warped or bent pans will
cause uneven baking results and poorly shaped
products.
A cake baked in a pan larger than the
recipe recommends will usually be crisper,
thinner and drier than it should be.
If baked in a pan smaller than
recommended, it may be undercooked
and batter may overflow.
Check the recipe to make sure the pan size used
is the one recommended.
Using the oven for roasting.
Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven. Roasting
temperatures, which should be low and steady, keep spattering to a minimum.
Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats. Roasting is easy; just follow these directions:
How to Set the Oven For Roasting
Place the shelf in the A or B
position. No preheating is necessary.
Check the weight of the meat. Place
it fat side up (or for poultry, breast-
side-up) on a roasting rack in a

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°F.
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling temperatures. The adjustment will be retained after a power failure.
Adjust the oven thermostat—Easy to do yourself!
Pull the OVEN TEMP knob off the range
and look at the back side.
To make an adjustment, loosen
(approximately one turn), but do
not completely remove, the two
screws on the back of the knob.
With the back of the knob facing
you, hold the outer edge of the knob
with one hand and turn the front of
the knob with the other hand.
To increase the oven temperature,
move the top screw toward the right.
You’ll hear a click for each notch you
move the knob.
To decrease the oven temperature,
move the top screw toward the left.
Each click will change the oven
temperature approximately 10°F.
(Range is plus or minus 60°F from
the arrow.) We suggest that you make
the adjustment one click from the
original setting and check oven
performance before making any
additional adjustments.
After the adjustment is made, retighten
screws so they are snug, but be
careful not to overtighten.
Replace the knob, matching the flat
area of the knob to the shaft, and
check performance.

Using the oven for broiling.
ge.com
Broiling is cooking food by direct heat from above the food. Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be broiled. Follow
these steps to keep spattering and smoking to a minimum.
Your range has a compartment below the oven for broiling. A specially designed broiler pan allows dripping fat to
drain away from the food.
Both the oven door and broiler compartment drawer should be closed during broiling.
How to Set Your Oven for Broiling
You can change the distance of the
food from the heat source by
positioning the broiler rack in
the broiler compartment:
–A (bottom of broiler
compartment).
–B (center of broiler compartment).
–C (top of broiler compartment).
Most broiling should be done in
position A.
Preheat the broiler for best results.
If the meat has fat or gristle
around the edge, cut vertical slashes
through it about 2 inches apart,
but don’t cut into the meat. We
recommend that you trim the fat to
prevent excessive smoking, leaving a
layer about 1/8 inch thick.
Close the oven door and broiler
compartment drawer.
Turn the OVEN TEMP knob to BROIL.
Turn most foods once during
cooking. Time foods for about one-
half the total cooking time, turn
food, then continue to cook to
preferred doneness.
Turn the OVEN TEMP knob to OFF.
Remove the broiler pan from the
broiler rack and serve the food
immediately. Leave the pan
outside the range to cool.
Use of Aluminum Foil
Never cover the oven bottom with
aluminum foil.
You can use aluminum foil to line your
broiler pan and broiler grid. However,
you must mold the foil tightly to the pan
and cut slits in the foil to open all slots
in the grid.
Aluminum foil may also be used to catch
a spillover. To do so, place a small sheet
of foil on a lower shelf several inches
below the food.
Never entirely cover a shelf with
aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat
circulation and result in poor baking.
Broiler Compartment
The broiler pan is held in place in the
broiler rack.
To remove the broiler pan:
Gently pull forward on the drop
down broiler door.
Pull the broiler rack with pan
forward until the rack stops. Grasp
the broiler pan and remove it from
the broiler rack.
To replace the broiler pan:
Slide the broiler pan onto the rack
and push both the broiler pan and
the rack all the way into the broiler
compartment.
Close the broiler door.
Using the oven for broiling.
Broiling Guide
■ The oven door and broiler compartment
drawer must be closed during broiling.
■ Always use the broiler pan that comes
with your range.
■ If desired, marinate meats or chicken
before broiling. Or, brush with
barbecue sauce the last 5 to 10 minutes.
■ When arranging food on pan, do not
let fatty edges hang over the sides. The
fat drippings will soil the broiler
compartment.
■ Use tongs to turn the meat. Pierced
meat loses juices.

Burner Grates
Grates should be washed regularly and after
spillovers. Wash them in hot, soapy water and
rinse with clean water.
After cleaning, dry thoroughly by putting
them in a warm oven for a few minutes.
Don’t put the grates back on the range
while they are wet. When replacing the
grates, be sure they’re positioned securely
over the burners.
To get rid of burned-on food, place the
grates in a covered container (or plastic
bag) with 1/4 cup ammonia to loosen
the soil. Then scrub with a soap-filled
scouring pad if necessary.
Although they’re durable, the grates will
gradually lose their shine, regardless of
the best care you can give them. This is
due to their continual exposure to high
temperatures.
Do not operate a burner for an extended
period of time without cookware on the
grate. The finish on the grate may chip
without cookware to absorb the heat.
17
Care and cleaning of the range.
ge.com
Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.
Proper care and cleaning are important so your range will give you efficient and satisfactory service. Follow these
directions carefully in caring for your range to assure safe and proper maintenance.
Lift-Up Cooktop
Clean the area under the cooktop often. Built-up
soil, especially grease, may catch on fire.
To make cleaning easier, the cooktop
may be lifted up and propped open.
Be sure all burners are turned off before
raising the cooktop. Then remove the
grates.
Grasp the two front burner wells and lift
the cooktop up and prop it open with
the prop rod provided. Be careful of the
pilots when the cooktop is up.
After cleaning underneath the cooktop
with hot, soapy water and a clean cloth,
hold the cooktop up, return the prop
rod to its storage position and lower the
cooktop until it snaps into position. Be
careful not to pinch your fingers.
If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the anti-tip
device is re-engaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to take this
precaution could result in tipping of the range and cause injury.
How to Remove the Range for Cleaning and Servicing
Follow these steps to remove the range
for servicing or cleaning hard to reach
surfaces.
Shut off the gas supply to the range.
Disconnect the electrical supply to
the range.
Disconnect the gas supply tubing to
the range.
Slide the range forward to free the
range foot from the Anti-Tip bracket.
See the Installation Instructions for
the location of the bracket.
Reverse these steps to re-install the
range. If the gas line has been
disconnected, check for gas leaks
after re-connection. See the
Installation Instructions for the gas
lead test method.
NOTE: A trained technician should make the gas
installation, disconnection and re-connection of the
gas supply to the appliance.

Care and cleaning of the range.
Burners
The holes in the surface burners of your range
must be kept clean at all times for proper ignition
and an even, unhampered flame.
You should clean the surface burners
routinely, especially after bad spillovers,
which could clog these holes. Wipe off the
surface burners. If heavy spillover occurs,
remove the surface burners from the
range. The burners lift out for cleaning.
Lift up the cooktop and then lift out the
surface burners.
NOTE: A screw holds each of the burners in place
to keep them from wobbling around during
shipment. Remove and discard the shipping screw.
To remove burned-on food, soak the surface
burner in a solution of mild liquid
detergent and hot water. Soak the surface
burner for 20 to 30 minutes. For more
stubborn stains, use a cleanser like Soft
Scrub
®
brand or Bon Ami
®
brand. Rinse
well to remove any traces of the cleanser
that might clog the surface burner
openings. Do not use steel wool because it
will clog the surface burner openings and
scratch the surface burners. If the holes
become clogged, clean them with a small
pin or sewing needle.
Before putting the surface burner back,
shake out excess water and then dry it
thoroughly by setting it in a warm oven
for 30 minutes. Then place it back in the
range, making sure it is properly seated
and level.
Control Panel and Knobs
It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel
after each use of the oven. Clean with
mild soap and water or vinegar and
water, rinse with clean water and polish
dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong
liquid cleaners, plastic scouring pads or
oven cleaners on the control panel—they
will damage the finish. A 50/50 solution
of vinegar and hot water works well.
The control knobs may be removed for easier
cleaning.
To remove the knob, pull it straight off
the stem. Wash the knobs in soap and
water or a vinegar and hot water
solution but do not soak.
Oven Shelves and Broiler Rack
The shelves and broiler rack can be
cleaned by hand using soap and water or
with an abrasive cleaner. After cleaning,
rinse the shelves and broiler rack with
clean water and dry.
To remove heavy, burned-on soil, you
may use scouring pads. After scrubbing,
wash with soapy water, rinse and dry.
Metal Parts
Do not use steel wool, abrasives, ammonia
or commercial oven cleaners.
To safely clean surfaces: wash, rinse and
then dry with a soft cloth.

Cleaning the Oven Bottom
The oven bottom has a porcelain enamel finish.
To make cleaning easier, protect the oven
bottom from excessive spillovers by
placing a cookie sheet on the shelf below
the shelf you are cooking on. This is
particularly important when baking a
fruit pie or other foods with high acid
content. Hot fruit fillings or foods that
are acidic in content, such as tomatoes
or sauerkraut, and sauces with vinegar
or lemon juice, may cause pitting and
damage to the porcelain enamel surface
and should be wiped up immediately.
To protect the oven bottom surface, place
a piece of aluminum foil slightly larger
than the baking dish on the shelf below
to catch any boilovers. It should not
completely cover the shelf as this
would cause uneven heat in the oven.
Aluminum foil should not be placed
on the oven bottom.
If a spillover does occur on the oven
bottom, allow the oven to cool first. You
can clean the bottom with soap and
water, a mild abrasive cleanser, soap-filled
scouring pads or an oven cleaner
following package directions.
Removable Oven Bottom
First remove the shelves from the oven.
The oven bottom lifts from the front.
To remove:
On models so equipped, remove
the knurled screw in the front of the
oven bottom.
Grasp each side of the oven bottom
and push it back.
Lift the front up and pull it out of
the oven.
To replace:
Grasp each side of the oven bottom
and guide its rear tabs into the slots
in the back of the oven.
Lower the oven bottom and pull it
forward until it is secure under the
front oven floor edge.
On models so equipped, replace the
knurled screw in the front of the
oven bottom.
NOTE: If the oven bottom is replaced incorrectly, it
may warp and cause undesirable baking results.
Broiler Compartment
The broiler pan is held in place in the
broiler rack.
To remove the broiler pan:
Gently pull forward on the drop
down broiler door.
Pull the broiler rack with pan
forward until the rack stops. Grasp
the broiler pan and remove it from
the broiler rack.
To replace the broiler pan:
Slide the broiler pan onto the rack
and push both the broiler pan and
the rack all the way into the broiler
compartment.
Close the broiler door.
If a spillover occurs in the broiler
compartment, allow the compartment to
cool first. You can clean the compartment
with soap and water, a mild abrasive
cleanser, soap-filled scouring pads or an
oven cleaner following package
directions.

models)
Care and cleaning of the range.
Lift-Off Oven Door
The oven door is removable, but it is
heavy. You may need help removing and
replacing the door.
To remove the door:
Open the door to the full open
position.
Pull the hinge locks up over the
hinge hooks on both sides. You may
need to use a flat-blade screwdriver
to lift hinge locks up.
Grasp the door firmly on each side,
lift slightly and pull it straight out
and away from the oven.
To replace the door:
Firmly grasp both sides of the door
at the top.
Insert and seat the upper and lower
hinge arms into the oven slots.
Push the hinge locks down from the
hinge hooks.
Close the oven door and make sure
it is working properly. If it is not
working properly, remove and
replace it following the above steps.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLOSE THE DOOR
UNTIL THIS STEP IS COMPLETE. THE
HINGE OR DOOR COULD BE DAMAGED.
TO CLEAN THE DOOR:
Inside of door:
■ Soap and water will normally do the
job. Heavy spattering or spillovers may
require cleaning with a mild abrasive
cleaner. Soapy, wet metal 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.
■ If necessary, you may use an oven
cleaner. Follow package directions.
Outside of door:
■ Use soap and water to thoroughly
clean the top, sides and front of the
oven. Rinse well.
■ 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, cleansing
powders or harsh abrasives on the
outside of the door.

Broiler Pan and Grid
After broiling, remove the broiler pan
from the oven. Remove the grid from the
pan. Carefully pour out grease from the
pan into a proper container. Wash and
rinse the broiler pan and grid in hot
water with a soap-filled or plastic
scouring pad.
If food has burned on, sprinkle the grid
with detergent while hot and cover with
wet paper towels or a dishcloth. Soaking
the pan will remove burned on foods.
Do not store a soiled broiler pan and grid
anywhere in the range.
The gasket is designed with a gap
at the bottom to allow for proper
air circulation.
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.

Porcelain Oven Interior
With proper care, the porcelain enamel
finish on the inside of the oven will stay
new-looking for years.
Let the range cool before cleaning.
We recommend that you wear rubber
gloves when cleaning the range.
Soap and water will normally do the job.
Heavy spattering or spillovers may
require cleaning with a mild abrasive
cleaner. Soapy, wet metal pads may also
be used. Do not allow food spills with a
high sugar or acid content (such as
tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie
filling) to remain on the surface. They
may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
Household ammonia may make the
cleaning job easier. Place 1/2 cup in a
shallow glass or pottery container in a
cold oven overnight. The ammonia
fumes will help loosen the burned-on
grease and food.
If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner.
Follow package directions.
Cautions about using spray-on oven
cleaners:
■ Do not spray on the electrical controls
and switches because it could cause
a short circuit 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
outside of the oven door, handles or
any exterior surface of the oven, wood
or painted surfaces. The cleaner can
damage these surfaces.
Painted Surfaces
Painted surfaces include the sides,
control panel and door. Clean these with
soap and water or a vinegar and water
solution.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners, cleansing
powders, steel wool or harsh abrasives on any
painted surface.
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.

pressure of 4″ of water column on natural
gas or, if designed for LP gas (propane or
butane), 10″ of water column.
Make sure you are supplying your range
with the type of gas for which it is
designed.
This range is convertible for use on
natural or propane gas. If you decide
to use this range on LP gas, conversion
must be made by a qualified LP installer
before attempting to operate the range
on that gas.
For proper operation, the pressure of
natural gas supplied to the regulator must
be between 4″ and 13″ of water column.
For LP gas, the pressure supplied must
be between 10″ and 13″ of water column.
When checking for proper operation of
the regulator, the inlet pressure must be
at least 1″ greater than the operating
(manifold) pressure as given above.
The pressure regulator located at the
inlet of the range manifold must remain
in the supply line regardless of whether
natural or LP gas is being used.
A flexible metal appliance connector used
to connect the range to the gas supply
line should have an I.D. of 1/2″ and be
5 feet in length for ease of installation.
In Canada, flexible connectors must be
single wall metal connectors no longer
than 6 feet in length.
1
CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS
Shut off the main gas supply valve
before disconnecting the old range and
leave it off until the new hookup has
been completed. Don’t forget to relight
the pilot on other gas appliances when
you turn the gas back on.
Because hard piping restricts movement of
the range, the use of a CSA International-
certified flexible metal appliance connector
is recommended unless local codes
require a hard-piped connection.
2
Never use an old connector when
installing a new range. If the hard piping
method is used, you must carefully align
the pipe; the range cannot be moved
after the connection is made.
To prevent gas leaks, put pipe joint
compound on, or wrap pipe thread tape
with Teflon* around, all male (external)
pipe threads.
Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in
the gas line in an easily accessed location
outside of the range. Make sure everyone
operating the range knows where and how
to shut off the gas supply to the range.
Install male 1/2″ flare union adapter to
the 1/2″ NPT internal thread at inlet of
regulator. Use a backup wrench on the
regulator fitting to avoid damage.
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.
Connect flexible metal appliance
connector to the adapter on the range.
Position range to permit connection at
the shut-off valve.
When all connections have been made,
make sure all range controls are in the
off position and turn on the main gas
supply valve. Use a liquid leak detector
at all joints and connections to check for
leaks in the system.
When using test pressures greater than
1/2 psig to pressure test the gas supply
system of the 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
gas supply system, simply isolate the
range from the gas supply system by
closing the individual shut-off valve.

LIGHT THE PILOTS
(For models equipped with standing
pilots. If the range is an electric ignition
model, the burners are ignited by electric
ignition which eliminates the need for
standing pilot lights.)
The range should be installed in its
permanent position before any pilots
are lit or adjusted.
Light the Surface Burner Pilots
1. Lift the cooktop up and prop it open
with the prop rod provided (see the
Care and cleaning of the range
section).
2. Locate the 2 pilot ports and light each
of them with a match.
3. To avoid pilot outage, use caution when
closing cooktop after lighting pilots.
NOTE: Do not leave standing pilot lit in
a newly constructed or remodeled home
or apartment that will be unoccupied for
more than a month.
Each pilot flame was adjusted at the
factory to be approximately 5/16″ tall.
A tinge of yellow appearing at the upper
tip is normal. If you find pilot adjustment
is necessary, follow instructions in Step B.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
(on electric ignition models)
Electrical Requirements
120-volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded
dedicated circuit protected by a 15-amp or
20-amp circuit breaker or time delay fuse.
Extension Cord Cautions
Because of potential safety hazards
associated with certain conditions, we
strongly recommend against the use of an
extension cord. However, if you still elect
to use an extension cord, it is absolutely
necessary that it be a UL-listed, 3-wire
grounding-type appliance extension cord
and that the current carrying rating of the
cord in amperes be equivalent to, or
greater than, the branch circuit rating.
Grounding
IMPORTANT—(Please read carefully)
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS
APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY
GROUNDED.
The power cord of this appliance is
equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug
which mates with a standard 3-prong
grounding wall receptacle to minimize the
possibility of electric shock hazard from
this appliance.
The customer should have the wall
receptacle and circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the
receptacle is properly grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall receptacle
is encountered, it is the personal
responsibility and obligation of the
customer to have it replaced with a
properly grounded 3-prong wall receptacle.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES,
CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND)
PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD.

IF THE RANGE HAS ELECTRIC
IGNITION
There are separate ignition devices for
the left and right hand surface burners.
Both of these ignitors are ON when any
knob is turned to the LITE setting. The
ignitors will spark as long as any of the
top burner knobs are at the LITE setting.
In the event of an electrical power
failure, the top burners can still be used.
To light a burner, hold a lit kitchen match
adjacent to the top burner to be used and
turn valve knob to LITE. USE EXTREME
CAUTION.

QUALITY OF FLAMES
The combustion quality of burner flames
needs to be determined visually.
If burner flames look like (A), further
adjustment is required. Normal burner
flames should look like (B) or (C), depending
on the type of gas you use.
With LP gas, some yellow tipping on outer
cones is normal

ADJUST THE OVEN BURNER AIR
SHUTTER IF NECESSARY
(CONT.)
For LP Gas:
The flame should have approximately
1-inch blue cones. After 30 seconds of
burner operation, check for flames lifting
off the burner ports. If lifting is observed,
gradually reduce the air shutter opening
until flames are stabilized. Some yellow
tipping may be normal for LP gas.
If Adjustment is Necessary:
Loosen the lock screw located at the
top of the air shutter, then rotate the
air shutter to the correct setting and
retighten screw.
Oven burner flame can be checked
as follows (without burner baffle in
place):
• To correct a yellow flame—Increase
size of air shutter opening.
• To correct a lifting, but distinct,
blue flame—Decrease size of air
shutter opening.
The air shutter should be set
approximately 2/3 open for natural
gas, and approximately full open for
LP gas.
The oven burner air shutter
adjustment is the same on ranges
with a gas pilot or electric ignition.
