■ Do not store flammable materials in an
oven or near the cooktop.
■
CAUTION: Items of interest to
children should not be stored in cabinets
above a range or on the back of a range—
children climbing on the range to reach
items could be seriously injured.
■ 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 in place of pot holders.
■ 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.
■ 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 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.
■ REMEMBER: The inside surface of the oven
may be hot when the door is opened.
■ Do not store or use combustible materials,

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 hood, turn the fan on.
■ Use care when touching the cooktop. The
glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat
after the controls have been turned off.
■ 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.
■ Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The
cooktop can be scratched with items such
as sharp instruments, rings or other
jewelry, and rivets on clothing.
■ Large scratches or impacts to glass
doors or cooktops can lead to broken
or shattered glass.
■ Do not operate the radiant surface units if
the glass is broken. Spillovers or cleaning
solution may penetrate a broken cooktop
and create a risk of electrical shock.
Contact a qualified technician immediately
should 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 the Cleaning the glass
cooktop section.
■ When the cooktop is cool, use only the
CERAMA BRYTE
®
Ceramic Cooktop
Cleaner and the CERAMA BRYTE
Ceramic Cooktop Cleaning Pad 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
Read and follow the specific “Precautions to Avoid Possible Exposure to Excessive Microwave Energy”
section in this manual.
To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
■ Do not overcook food. Carefully attend
appliance if paper, plastic or other
combustible materials are placed inside
the oven to facilitate cooking.
■ In defrost mode, remove wire twist-ties
from paper or plastic containers before
placing bags in the oven.
■ Oven Cooking Bags—Do not use the wire
twist-tie to close the bag.
■ Do not use paper towels.
■ Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.
■ Do not overcook potatoes. They could
dehydrate and catch fire, causing damage
to your oven.
■ Do not operate the oven while empty to
avoid damage to the oven and the danger
of fire.
■ Do not use the oven for storage purposes.
Do not leave paper products, cooking
utensils or food in the oven when not
in use.
■ If materials inside the oven should ignite,
keep the oven door closed, turn the oven
off and shut off power at the fuse or circuit
breaker panel. If the door is opened, the
fire may spread.
■ This oven is not approved or tested for
marine use.
■ Some products such as whole eggs and
sealed containers—for example, closed
jars—will explode and should not be
heated in this oven. Such use of the oven
could result in injury.
■ Do not boil eggs in this oven. Pressure will
build up inside the egg yolk and will cause
it to burst, possibly resulting in injury.
■ Do not pop popcorn in your oven.
■ Foods with unbroken outer “skin” such as
potatoes, sausages, tomatoes, apples, egg
yolks, chicken livers and other giblets
should be pierced to allow steam to escape
during cooking.
■ Don’t defrost frozen beverages in narrow-
necked bottles (especially carbonated
beverages). Even if the container is
opened, pressure can build up. This can
cause the container to burst, possibly
resulting in injury.
■ Hot foods and steam can cause burns.
Be careful when opening any containers
of hot food, cooking pouches and boxes.
To prevent possible injury, direct steam
away from hands and face.
■ As with any appliance, close supervision is
necessary when used by children.

If you see arcing, open the door and correct the problem.
ARCING
Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the
oven. Arcing is caused by:
■ Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.
■ Foil not molded to food (upturned edges
act like antennas).
■ Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins or
gold-rimmed dishes in the oven.
■ Recycled paper towels containing small
metal pieces being used in the oven.
Liquids such as water, coffee or tea are able
to be overheated beyond the boiling point
without appearing to be boiling. Visible
bubbling or boiling when the container is
removed from the microwave oven is not
always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY
HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN
THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A UTENSIL
IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.

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.
NOTE: On models with light colored glass
cooktops, it is normal for the cooking zones to
change color when hot or cooling down. This is
temporary and will disappear as the glass cools
to room temperature.
The surface unit will cycle on and off to
maintain your selected control setting.
It is safe to place hot cookware on the
glass surface even when the cooktop
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.
■ 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.
■ Do not use the surface as a cutting board.

Selecting types of cookware. ge.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.
Check pans for flat bottoms by
using a straight edge.
Pans with rounded, curved, ridged
or warped bottoms are not
recommended.
Use only flat-bottomed woks.
Wok Cooking
We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed
wok. They are available at your local retail store.
Do not use round-bottom woks. You
could be seriously burned if the wok
tipped over.
Note: Flat-bottomed canners are
required for glass cooktops.
Pots that extend beyond 1″ of the
surface unit’s circle are not
recommended for most surface
cooking. However, when canning
with water-bath or pressure canner,
larger-diameter pots may be used.
This is because boiling water
temperatures (even under pressure)
are not harmful to the cooktop
surfaces surrounding the surface units.
HOWEVER, DO NOT USE LARGE
DIAMETER CANNERS OR OTHER
LARGE DIAMETER POTS FOR
FRYING OR BOILING FOODS
OTHER THAN WATER. Most syrup
or sauce mixtures—and all types of
frying—cook at temperatures much
higher than boiling water. Such
temperatures could eventually harm
the glass cooktop surfaces.
Be sure the canner fits over the
center of the surface unit. If your
cooktop or its location does not
allow the canner to be centered
on the surface unit, use smaller
diameter pots for good canning
results.
Flat-bottomed canners must be
used. Do not use canners with
flanged or rippled bottoms (often
found in enamelware) because
they don’t make enough contact
with the surface units and take
a long time to boil water.
When canning, use recipes and
procedures from reputable
sources. Reliable recipes and
procedures are available from the
manufacturer of your canner;
manufacturers of glass jars for
canning, such as Ball and Kerr
brand; and the United States
Department of Agriculture
Extension Service.
Remember that canning is a
process that generates large
amounts of steam. To avoid burns
from steam or heat, be careful
when canning.
NOTE: If your house has low voltage,
canning may take longer than expected,
even though directions have been
carefully followed. The process time
will be shortened by:
(1) using a pressure canner, and
( 2) starting with HOT tap water for fastest
heating of large quantities of water.
CAUTION:
■ Safe canning requires that harmful
microorganisms are destroyed and that
the jars are sealed completely. When
canning foods in a water-bath canner,
a gentle but steady boil must be
maintained for the required time. When
canning foods in a pressure canner, the
pressure must be maintained for the
required time.
■ After you have adjusted the controls,
it is very important to make sure the
prescribed boil or pressure levels are
maintained for the required time.
■ Since you must make sure to process
the canning jars for the prescribed
time, with no interruption in processing
time, do not can on any cooktop
surface unit if your canner is not flat.

To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
Before you begin…
The racks have stop-locks, so that when
placed correctly on the supports, they will
stop before coming completely out, and
will not tilt.
When placing and removing cookware,
pull the rack out to the bump on the

To remove a rack, pull it toward you,
tilt the front end up and pull it out.
To replace, place the end of the rack
(stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the

Microwave Assisted
In the Trivection oven, a microwave is
used to assist cooking.
The combination of microwave,
convection fan and heating elements is
unique for each food category.
NOTE The microwave will cycle on and off while
cooking to best distribute energy to the food.
The microwave turns off and the cook time
stops counting down when the oven door
is opened.
NOTE: The convection fan may cycle on and
off and change direction while cooking to best
distribute hot air in the oven. The convection fan
shuts off when the oven door is opened.
Auto Recipe
™
Conversion
You can use your favorite recipes in the
Trivection oven.
When speedcooking, enter the
traditional cooking temperature and the
maximum recipe/package cook time.
When speedcooking, the Auto Recipe
™
conversion feature automatically converts
traditional cook time into the appropriate
speedcooking time. The converted time
will display after you start the oven. This
time will be up to 5 times faster than
traditional baking based on food type.
Cookware for Speedcooking. . .
You can use cookware that is oven-safe.
Heat-resistant paper and plastic
containers and bakeware that are
recommended for use in traditional
baking can also be used for speed baking.
However, they should not be used at
temperatures higher than the
temperature recommended by the
bakeware manufacturer.
If you are cooking with several pans,
leave space between them. Arcing is the
microwave term for sparks in the oven.
To avoid arcing, be sure there is at least 1
inch of space between metal surfaces—
pans, wall of cavity, aluminum foil.
Do not completely surround food with
metal and/or foil while speedcooking—
you will not have a time savings (for
example, wrapping potato with foil, using
metal roasting pan with lid).
When using a metal pan, do not cover it
with a metal lid or foil. DO NOT USE FOOD
WRAPPERS MADE FROM A COMBINATION
OF METAL FOIL AND PAPER IN THE OVEN in
speedcook modes. For example, some
frozen or deli breads are baked and sold
in these wrappers. Remove the food from
the wrapper and speed bake on a flat
metal pan.
When speedcooking with metal pans,
heavy aluminum pans are recommended
for best results.
When speed baking with stoneware or
cooking stones, refer to the manufacturer’s
owner’s manual for proper use and
maintenance. For best results, preheat
your flat cooking stones. If manufacturer
does not recommend preheating
cooking stones, don’t use them in the
Speedcooking mode. Do not use hearth
inserts while speedcooking.
Use pans with low sides whenever
possible. A shallow pan allows air
to circulate around the food more
efficiently.
Dark or matte finish bakeware will
produce darker browning on food.
When you are speed broiling, it is
important that you use the broiler pan
with grid for best results. The pan is
used to catch grease spills and the grid
is used to prevent grease spatters.

Other Speedcooking Tips. . .
You must preheat your oven.
Put the food in the oven after the
preheat beep when the oven control
displays “Put Food In Oven” and then
press START. You must press the START
key after placing the food in the oven to
start the speedcook mode.
When choosing a speedcook food
category, refer to the chart on page 21.
In general, when cooking meats wrapped
in dough or refrigerated dough product,
use the Biscuit/Roll or BakedGoods
category.
For recipes using a large quantity of
cheese, milk and/or eggs, use the
BakedGoods category.
Larger amounts of food or multiple racks
of food may require additional time.
Check food doneness as prompted and
continue cooking as needed.
Items such as appetizers, cookies, biscuits
and rolls can be speed baked on multiple
racks. Cooking time may increase slightly
for some foods, but since two or three
racks of food are being cooked at the
same time, the overall result is substantial
time saved.
When cooking multiple items or pans,
leave space between them for maximum
air circulation.
Cakes and quick breads (banana,
zucchini or pumpkin bread) are not
recommended for multiple rack speed
baking. Place cakes side-by-side on one
rack if speed baking. When using more
than one rack to cook these foods,
use CONV MULTI mode. See Using the
convection modes section.
Meats/Poultry
Cooking times will vary depending on
the cut of meat. Check for doneness at
minimum time. Note: Meats will continue
to cook and internal temperatures will
rise after they are removed from the oven
(standing time).
Use the broiler pan and grid provided
with your oven for best results.
As in a conventional oven, aluminum foil
may be used to shield food—to prevent
overbrowning or overcooking (i.e., placing
small strips of foil on tips of wings and legs
of poultry). Make sure that the foil is
securely attached to the food. However,
large amounts of foil or fully enclosing
food in foil blocks the microwave energy,
which eliminates time savings.
Do not use oven thermometers, meat
thermometers or wire twist-ties in the
oven while speedcooking.
Pop-up thermometers in your meat may
be inaccurate. Check the temperature
of the meat with a thermometer after
removing the meat from the oven.
For best results, speed bake turkeys
unstuffed.
Rack Positions for Speed Baking. . .
If cooking on one rack, place food so that it is approximately centered in the oven.
Rack Positions and Examples
C Cookies, pizza, pie, muffins, cakes, biscuits, casseroles
B Loaves of bread, bundt cakes, meat loaf, small and medium roasts, whole chicken
A Very tall items: turkey, large roasts, angel food cakes
If cooking on two racks, use rack positions A and D to provide lots of space between
items for optimal results.
If cooking on three racks, use rack positions A, C and E.

Tips for Speed Broiling
Your oven with Trivection
™
technology
has the flexibility to broil like a traditional oven
or speed broil. Speed broiling of meats is
approximately twice as fast as traditional
broiling.
Speed broiling must be done with the
door closed.
The oven must be preheated when
speed broiling.
Turning meat and poultry is optional in speed
broil. However, use tongs if turning meat to
prevent piercing the meat and losing juices.
Speed broil will generally produce good results
for medium to well done meats. If rare meat is
desired, use traditional broil.
Cooking times will vary depending
on the cut of meat. Check for doneness at
minimum time using a meat thermometer.
DO NOT leave a meat thermometer in the meat or
poultry while cooking with Trivection technology
since this may damage the thermometer.
For best results, use a pan designed for
broiling.
Evenly slit fat around the outside edges
of steaks and chops to prevent curling during
broiling.
If desired, marinate meats before broiling.
Brush with sauces during the last five minutes
only.

For best results, remove food from
packaging and place on broil pan and grid.
If food is left in packaging, slit, pierce or
vent to prevent heat buildup.
Place food in the oven according to
Defrosting Guide.
You can use all cookware/containers that
are oven safe or microwave-safe. Arcing is
the microwave term for sparks in the
oven. Be sure there is at least 1 inch of
space between metal surfaces—pans, wall
of cavity, aluminum foil—to prevent
arcing. Dishes with metallic trim should not
be used as arcing may occur. Remove metal
twist ties from paper or plastic bags before
placing them in the oven.
Do not completely surround food with
metal and/or foil.
Plastic storage containers should be
uncovered before defrosting.
Foods that spoil easily should not be
allowed to sit out for more than one hour
after defrosting. Room temperature
promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.
Use caution when removing metal pans
and stoneware after defrosting. They may
become very warm, and you may need to
use a potholder.
For more even defrosting, turn food
over, separate and rearrange when
prompted. Be sure large meats are
completely defrosted before cooking.
See the Defrosting Guide for additional
comments.
When defrosted, food should be cool but
softened in all areas. If still slightly icy,
return to the oven very briefly, or let it
stand a few minutes.

Using traditional broil.
How to Set the Oven for Broiling
Leave the door open to the broil stop position.
The door stays open by itself, yet the proper
temperature is maintained in the oven.
NOTE: Food can be broiled with the door open
or closed; however, if the door is closed, the
food may not brown as well because the oven
heating element will cycle on and off.
Select BROIL.
Select HI for high broil
or LO for low broil. LO is used to
broil thicker cuts of meat without
over-browning them.
Select START. We recommend
preheating for 5 minutes with the door
closed, whether you broil food with
the door open or closed.
Place the meat or fish on a broiler
grid in a broiler pan designed
for broiling.
Follow suggested rack positions in
the Broiling Guide.
The size, weight, thickness, starting
temperature and your preference of
doneness will affect broiling times. This
guide is based on meats at refrigerator
temperature.
When broiling is finished, press the
CLEAR/OFF pad.
NOTE: The oven will automatically turn off
after 3 hours of continuous broil.

Because heated air is circulated evenly
throughout the oven, foods can be
baked with excellent results using
multiple racks.
The amount of time required for
multi-rack baking may increase slightly
for some foods, but overall time is saved
because two to three times as much food
is cooked at once. Cookies, muffins,
biscuits and other quick breads give
good results with multi-rack baking.
To cook food on more than one rack
in convection bake, use CONV MULTI.
When baking on 3 racks, place one
rack in the first (A) position, one
in the third (C) position and one in
the 5th (E) position.
Using the convection modes. ge.com
Convection Fan
In a convection oven, a fan circulates hot air
over, under and around the food.
This circulating hot air is evenly distributed
throughout the oven cavity. As a result, foods
are evenly cooked and browned—often in less
time with convection heat.
NOTE: The convection fan may cycle on and off
and change direction while cooking to best
distribute hot air in the oven. The convection oven
fan shuts off when the oven door is opened.
DO NOT leave the door open for long
periods of time while using convection
cooking or you may shorten the life of
the convection heating element.
Multi-Rack Convection Baking
Multi-rack position.
The convection fan circulates the heated
air evenly over and around the food
using the bake and broil elements.
When convection baking with only 1 rack, use
CONV 1 RACK and for best results place the
rack on shelf B or C at the center of the oven.
Cook times may decrease, so food should be
checked earlier than package directions to make
sure that it does not overcook.
Ideal for cooking large casseroles and
lasagna with good results.

Using the convection modes.
Cookware for Convection Cooking
Before using your convection oven,
check to see if your cookware leaves
room for air circulation in the oven.
If you are baking with several pans, leave
space between them. Also, be sure the
pans do not touch each other or the
walls of the oven.
Paper and Plastic
Heat-resistant paper and plastic
containers that are recommended for
use in regular ovens can be used for
convection baking, but shouldn’t be
used at temperatures higher than the
temperature recommendation of the
cookware manufacturer.
Metal and Glass
Any type of cookware will work in your
convection oven. However, metal pans
heat the fastest and are recommended
for convection baking.
■ Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.
For recipes like oven-baked chicken,
use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot
circulate well around food in a pan with
high sides.
How to Set the Oven for Convection Baking or Roasting
Convection Roast
■ Good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.
The convection fan circulates the heated
air evenly over and around the food.
Meat and poultry are browned on all
sides as if they were cooked on a
rotisserie. The heated air seals in juices
quickly for a moist and tender product
while, at the same time, creating a rich
golden brown exterior.
When you are convection roasting, it is
important that you use a broiler pan and
grid designed for broiling for best
convection roasting results. The pan is
used to catch grease spills and the grid
is used to prevent grease spatters.
When baking cookies, you will
get the best results if you use a
flat cookie sheet instead of a
pan with low sides.

Adjust the oven temperature—Do it yourself! ge.com
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
temperature 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 degrees.
NOTE: This adjustment will only affect baking and roasting temperatures; it does not affect broiling, convection,
speedcooking or self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.
To Adjust the Temperature
Select SETTINGS, then MORE, then
MORE, then ± temp.
The current temperature
adjustment will appear in the time
and temperature display.
Select INCREASE (cook hotter) or
DECREASE (cook cooler) to change
cooking temperature adjustment
in 1° increments. Continue until
desired number is displayed.
The oven temperature can be
adjusted up to (+) 35°F hotter or
(-) 35°F cooler.
When you have made the
adjustment, select HOME to go back
to the main display. Use your oven
as you would normally.
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 affect 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 Sabbath Feature.
(Designed for use on the Jewish Sabbath and Holidays.) (on some models)
The Sabbath feature can be used for baking/roasting only. It cannot be used for Convection, Broil, Speedcook, Defrost, Proof,
Dehydrate, Warm, Warmer, Self-Clean or DelayBake cooking.
NOTE:
■ The oven light is automatically locked out by the control while using the Sabbath feature. The light cannot be turned on or off
by the oven light keypad or by opening or closing the door. If the oven light is on, it will remain on and if the oven light is off, it
will remain off while the Sabbath feature is being used.
■ If there is a loss of power while using the Sabbath feature, the oven will return to the Sabbath feature when power returns,
but the Bake settings will need to be reentered.
■ The CLEAR/OFF pad still works during the Sabbath feature and will clear any active BAKE settings.
■ The Glass Touch number pads surface is solid and will not depress when pushed. To make sure that any command entered
while using Sabbath registers for the Glass Touch, ensure that the entire pad of your finger is squarely over the keypad for two
seconds. Make sure not to overlap another pad while touching the desired pad—be especially careful around the CLEAR/OFF
pad so that the programmed cooking mode is not exited accidentally.

Before removing the knobs for
cleaning, please note that the knobs are
in the OFF position. When replacing the
knobs, check the OFF position to insure
proper placement.
Wash the knobs in soap and water or a
vinegar and hot water solution but do
not soak.
How to Remove Packaging Tape
To assure no damage is done to the finish
of the product, the safest way to remove
the adhesive left from packaging tape
and cooktop labels on new appliances
is an application of a household liquid
dishwashing detergent, mineral oil or
cooking oil.
Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak.
Wipe dry and then apply an appliance
polish to thoroughly clean and protect
the surface.
NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all
parts. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.
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.
Oven Vent
The oven vent is above the left side of the door.
This area could become hot during
oven use.
It is normal for steam to come out of
the vent.
The vent is important for proper air circulation.
Never block this vent.

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.
To clean the inside of the door:
■ 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 door liner can be cleaned with a
soap-filled steel wool or plastic pad,
hot water and detergent. Rinse well
with a vinegar and water solution.
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.
■ If any stain on the door vent trim is
persistent, use a soft abrasive cleaner
and a sponge-scrubber for best results.
■ 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.
■ When cleaning surfaces of door and
oven that come together on closing
the door, use only mild, non-abrasive
soaps or detergents applied with a
sponge or soft cloth.

All oven racks may be cleaned by hand
with an abrasive cleaner or steel wool.
After cleaning, rinse the racks with clean
water and dry with a clean cloth. Gray
porcelain-coated oven racks may remain
in the oven during the self-cleaning
cycle without being damaged. The shiny,
silver-colored oven racks may remain
in the oven during the self-cleaning
cycle, but they will lose their luster and
become hard to slide.
It will be necessary to grease all oven
rack side edges with a light coating of
vegetable oil after cleaning them by hand
or in the oven. This will help maintain
the ease of sliding the racks in and out of
