IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

Have the installer show you the location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off if

necessary.

■ Have your range installed and properly

grounded by a qualified installer,

in accordance with the Installation

Instructions. Any adjustment and service

should be performed only by qualified

gas range installers or service technicians.

■ Do not attempt to repair or replace any

part of your range unless it is specifically

recommended in this manual. All other

service should be referred to a qualified

technician.

■ Plug your range into a 120-volt grounded

outlet only. Do not remove the round

grounding prong from the plug. If in doubt

about the grounding of the home electrical

system, it is your personal responsibility and

obligation to have an ungrounded outlet

outlet in accordance with the National

Electrical Code. Do not use an extension

cord with this appliance.

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.

Fluorescent light bulbs and safety valves on standing pilot ranges contain mercury. If your model has

these features, they must be recycled according to local, state and federal codes.

■ 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.

■ 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, storage drawer, warming

drawer 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.

■ For your safety, never use your appliance

for warming or heating the room.

■ 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 storage drawer, a warming

drawer 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 or warming drawer can

be smothered completely by closing the oven

door or drawer 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 storage drawer or kick panel.

■ Large scratches or impacts to glass doors

can lead to broken or shattered glass.

Safety InstructionsInstallation InstructionsTroubleshooting Tips

Consumer Support

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.

WARNING!

SURFACE BURNERS

■ 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.

■ When flaming foods are under the hood,

turn the fan off. The fan, if operating,

may spread the flames.

■ 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.

■ 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 manual 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.

■ Be careful when you clean the cooktop

because the area over the pilot (on standing

pilot models) will be hot.

■ Always turn the surface burner controls off

before removing cookware.

Consumer SupportOperating InstructionsSafety Instructions Installation Instructions Troubleshooting Tips

■ 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. The

lowest position “R” is not designed to slide.

■ Do not heat unopened food containers.

Pressure could build up and the container

could burst, causing an injury.

■ Never use aluminum foil to line the oven

bottom. Improper use of foil could start

a fire.

■ Do not use aluminum foil anywhere in the

oven except as described in this manual.

Misuse could result in a fire hazard or

damage to the range.

■ 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, press the CLEAR/OFF pad, and keep

the oven door closed to contain fire until

it burns out.

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.

OVEN

■ Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before

self-cleaning operation.

■ Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the

broiler pan, grid and other cookware.

■ 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.

■ If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions,

turn the oven off and disconnect the power

supply. Have it serviced by a qualified

technician.

■ Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial

oven cleaner or oven liner 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.

SELF-CLEANING OVEN

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.

■ The purpose of the warming drawer

is to hold hot cooked foods at serving

temperature. Always start with hot food;

cold food cannot be heated or cooked in

the warming drawer.

■ Do not use the warming drawer to dry

newspapers. If overheated, they can catch

on fire.

■ Do not leave paper products, cooking

utensils or food in the warming drawer

when not in use.

■ Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in

or near your warming drawer.

■ Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and

canned food a safe distance away from your

warming drawer.

■ Do not warm food in the warming drawer

for more than two hours.

■ Do not touch the heating element or the

interior surface of the warming drawer.

These surfaces may be hot enough to

burn.

REMEMBER: The inside surface of the

warming drawer may be hot when the

drawer is opened.

■ Use care when opening the drawer. Open

the drawer a crack and let hot air or steam

escape before removing or replacing food.

Hot air or steam which escapes can cause

burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

■ Do not use aluminum foil to line the

drawer. Foil is an excellent heat insulator

and will trap heat beneath it. This will

upset the performance of the drawer and

it could damage the interior finish.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Using the surface burners.

Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.

How to Light a Surface Burner

Push the control knob in and turn it to

the LITE position.

You will hear a little clicking noise—

the sound of the electric spark igniting

the burner.

Turn the knob to adjust the flame size.

If the knob stays at LITE, it will continue

to click.

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.

Push the control knob in and turn it

to the LITE position.

How to Select Flame Size

For safe handling of cookware, never let the flames

extend up the sides of the cookware.

Watch the flame, not the knob, as you

reduce heat. The flame size on a gas burner

should match the cookware you are using.

Any flame larger than the bottom of the

cookware is wasted and only serves to heat

the handle.

In Case of Power Failure

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 push in and turn the control 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.

Before Lighting a Burner

■ If drip pans are supplied with your range,

they should be used at all times.

■ Make sure all grates on the range are

in place before using any burner.

After Lighting a Burner

■ Do not operate the 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.

On Ranges With Sealed Burners

The smaller burner (right rear position)

will give the best simmer results. It offers

precise cooking performance for delicate

foods, such as sauces or foods which need

to cook over low heat for a long time.

It can be turned down to a very low simmer

setting.

The largest burners are higher powered

than the others and will bring liquids to

a boil quicker.

Consumer SupportOperating InstructionsSafety Instructions Installation Instructions Troubleshooting Tips

GEAppliances.com

Using the surface burners.

Wok This Way (on models with sealed burners)

We recommend that you use a flat-bottomed wok. They

are available at your local retail store.

A traditional round bottom wok can be

used with Wok Holder accessory, model

JXWK which can be ordered from your

appliance dealer. The Wok Holder fits on

top of the range grate to provide support

and proper air circulation for traditional

round bottom woks only. Do not use flat-

bottomed woks with the Wok Holder.

Do not use a wok on any other support

ring. Placing the ring over the burner grate

may cause the burner to work improperly,

resulting in carbon monoxide levels above

allowable current standards. This could be

dangerous to your health. Do not try to use

such woks without the ring unless you are

using the Wok Holder. You could be

seriously burned if the wok tipped over.

Use a flat-bottomed wok.

Stove Top Grills (on models with sealed burners)

Do not use stove top grills on your sealed

gas burners. If you use the stove top grill

on the sealed gas burner, it will cause

incomplete combustion and can result

in exposure to carbon monoxide levels

above allowable current standards.

This can be hazardous to your health.

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 two types of glass

cookware—those for oven use only and

those for top-of-range cooking (saucepans,

coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat

very slowly.

Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for

either surface or oven cooking. It conducts

heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check

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.

Using the oven.

To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on.

Before you begin…

The shelves 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 shelf out to the bump on the

shelf support.

To remove a shelf, pull it toward you,

tilt the front end up and pull it out.

To replace, place the end of the shelf

(stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the

front and push the shelf in.

The oven has 5 shelf positions.

It also has a special low shelf

position (R) for roasting extra large

items, such as a large turkey.

Power Outage for Electric Ignition Models

CAUTION: Do not make any attempt to operate the

electric ignition oven during an electrical 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 Light

Use the switch on the lower control panel

to turn the light on or off.

Oven Vent

Your oven is vented through ducts at the

rear of the range. Do not block these ducts

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. Avoid touching the vent

openings or nearby surfaces during oven or

broiler operation—they may become hot.

■ Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop may

become hot if left too close to the vent.

■ Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop—

they may melt if left too close to the vent.

■ 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.

■ Metal items will become very hot if they are left

on the cooktop, and could cause burns.

Plastic items on the cooktop may

melt if left too close to the vent.

Preheating and Pan Placement

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.

To preheat, set the oven at the correct

temperature. Preheating is necessary for

good results when baking cakes, cookies,

pastry and breads.

For ovens without a preheat indicator light or tone,

preheat 10 minutes.

Baking results will be better if baking pans

are centered in the oven as much as

possible. Pans should not touch each other

or the walls of the oven. If you need to use

two shelves, stagger the pans so one is not

directly above the other, and leave

approximately 1

⁄

″ between pans, from

the front, back and sides of the wall.

Aluminum Foil

Never cover the oven bottom with

aluminum foil.

You can use aluminum foil to line the

broiler pan and broiler grid. However,

you must mold the foil tightly to the grid

and cut slits in it just like the grid.

Aluminum foil may also be used to catch a spillover.

Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum

foil. This will disturb the heat circulation

and result in poor baking.

A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch

a spillover by placing it on a lower shelf

several inches below the food.

Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.

Oven Moisture

As your oven heats up, the temperature

change of the air in the oven may cause

water droplets to form on the door glass.

These droplets are harmless and will

evaporate as the oven continues to heat up.

The oven has a special low shelf (R)

position just above the oven bottom.

Use it when extra cooking space is

needed, for example, when roasting

a large turkey. The shelf is not

designed to slide out at this position.

If your model has a door latch, never force the latch handle. Forcing the handle will damage the door lock mechanism.

Before a Clean Cycle

The range must be completely cool in order to set

the self-clean cycle.

We recommend venting your kitchen with

an open window or using a ventilation fan

or hood during the first self-clean cycle.

Remove the broiler pan, broiler grid, all

cookware and any aluminum foil from the

oven—they cannot withstand the high

cleaning temperatures.

NOTE: Take the shelves out of the oven before you

begin the self-clean cycle.

Do not use commercial oven cleaners or

oven protectors in or near the self-cleaning

oven. A combination of any of these

products plus the high clean cycle

temperatures may damage the porcelain

finish of the oven.

Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners.

Clean the top, sides and outside of the

oven door with soap and water.

Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in

place and the oven light is off.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is

Care and cleaning of the range.

Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.

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.

Standard Twin Burner Assemblies (on some models)

On models with standard twin burners, the cooktop

lifts up for easy access.

Turn all controls OFF before removing

burner parts and drip pans (if so equipped).

The burner grates and drip pans (if so

equipped) can be lifted off, making them

easy to clean.

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 surface burners. If heavy spillover

occurs, remove the surface burners from

the range. Burners lift out for cleaning. Lift

up the cooktop and then lift out the surface

burners.

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 sewing needle

or twist-tie.

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.

Check the flame pattern of each burner.

If the flames are “jumpy” (not steady),

clean the holes again with a sewing needle

or twist-tie.

Drip Pans (on some models)

Remove the grates and lift out the drip

pans. Drip pans can be cleaned in a

dishwasher or by hand.

When replacing the drip pans, make sure

they are in the correct position.

To get rid of burned-on food, place them

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.

CAUTION: Do not clean the drip pans in a

self-cleaning oven.

Sealed Burner Assemblies (on some models)

Turn all controls OFF before removing the

burner parts and drip pans (if so equipped).

The burner grates, caps, burner heads and

drip pans (if so equipped) can be lifted off,

making them easy to clean.

The electrode of the spark igniter is

exposed when the burner head is

removed. 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.

Burner Heads (on sealed burners only)

For proper ignition, make sure the

small hole in the section that fits over the

electrode is kept open. A sewing needle or

wire twist-tie works well to unclog it.

The slits in the burner heads of your range

must be kept clean at all times for an even,

unhampered flame.

You should clean the surface burners

routinely, especially after bad spillovers,

which could clog these openings.

To remove burned-on food, soak the

burner heads in a solution of mild liquid

detergent and hot water for 20-30 minutes.

For more stubborn stains, use a toothbrush.

Before putting the burner head back, shake

out excess water and then dry it thoroughly

by setting it in a warm oven for 30 minutes.

Replace the burner heads and caps. Make

sure that the heads and caps are replaced

in the correct location. There is one small,

2 medium and one large head and cap.

NOTE: On some models there are 2 large,

one medium and one small head and cap.

NOTE: Before removing the burner heads and

caps, remember their size and location. Replace

them in the same location after cleaning.

Burner Caps (on sealed burners only)

Lift off when cool. Wash burner caps in hot,

soapy water and rinse with clean water.

You may scour with a plastic scouring pad

to remove burned-on food particles.

Dry them in a warm oven or with a cloth—

don’t reassemble them wet. Replace the

burner caps.

Make sure that caps are replaced on the

correct size burner. There is one small,

2 medium and one large cap.

NOTE: On some models there are 2 large, one

medium and one small head and cap.

CAUTION: Do not operate the

burner without all burner parts and

drip pans (if so equipped) in place.

Use a sewing needle or twist-tie

to unclog the small hole in the

burner head.

After cleaning, make sure the slot

in the burner head is positioned

over the electrode.

Burner Grates

Lift out when cool. Grates should be

washed regularly and, of course, after

spillovers. Wash them in hot, soapy water

and rinse with clean water. After cleaning,

dry them 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 prevent rusting on cast iron grates, apply

a light coating of cooking oil on the bottom

of the grates.

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.

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. Let sit overnight (or approximately

12 hours), then scrub with a soap-filled

scouring pad if necessary. Rinse grates

thoroughly and dry completely before

replacing them on the range top.

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. You will notice this sooner

with lighter color grates.

CAUTION: Do not clean the grates in a dishwasher

or in a self-cleaning oven.

Cooktop Surface

To avoid damaging the porcelain enamel

surface of the cooktop and to prevent it

from becoming dull, clean up spills right

away. Foods with a lot of acid (tomatoes,

sauerkraut, fruit juices, etc.) or foods with

high sugar content could cause a dull spot

if allowed to set.

When the surface has cooled, wash and

rinse. For other spills such as fat spatterings,

etc., wash with soap and water once the

surface has cooled. Then rinse and polish

with a dry cloth.

NOTE: Do not store flammable materials in an

oven or near the cooktop. Do not store or use

combustible materials, gasoline or other

flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of

this or any other appliance.

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 a high acid content.

Hot fruit fillings or other foods that are

highly acidic (such as tomatoes, sauerkraut,

and sauces with vinegar or lemon juice)

may cause pitting and damage to the

porcelain enamel surface and should be

wiped up immediately.

We don’t recommend using aluminum

foil on the oven bottom. It can affect air

flow if the holes are blocked and it can

concentrate heat at the bottom of the

oven, resulting in poor baking

performance.

To clean up spillovers, use soap and water,

an abrasive cleaner or soap-filled steel wool

pad. Rinse well to remove any soap before

self-cleaning.

GEAppliances.com

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 it a few inches to

the special stop position that will hold the

door open. Grasp firmly on each side and

lift the door straight up and off the hinges.

NOTE: Be careful not to place hands between the

hinge and the oven door frame as the hinge could

snap back and pinch fingers.

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. Then lower the door slowly

and evenly over both hinges at the same

time. If the hinges snap back against the

oven frame, pull them back out.

To clean the inside of the door:

■ Do not immerse the door in water.

■ Because the area inside the gasket is

cleaned during the self clean cycle, you

do not need to clean this by hand. Any

soap left on the liner causes additional

stains when the oven is heated.

■ The area outside the gasket can be

cleaned with a soap-filled steel wool or

plastic pad.

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.

■ Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato

sauces and basting materials containing

acids may cause discoloration and should

be wiped up immediately. When the

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.

The broiler pan and grid may be cleaned

with a commercial oven cleaner.

Both the broiler pan and grid can also be

cleaned in a dishwasher.

Do not store a soiled broiler pan and grid

anywhere in the range.

CAUTION: Do not clean the broiler pan or grid in

a self-cleaning oven.

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.

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.

Check to be sure that no range parts have come loose during shipping.

LOCATION

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.

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.)

All ranges can tip and injury could result.

To prevent accidental tipping of the range, attach an approved Anti-Tip device to the wall. (See Installing

the Anti-Tip Device in this section.) 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 Anti-Tip device is engaged when

you push the range back against the wall.

■ For your safety, never use your range for warming or heating the room. Your oven and cooktop

are not designed to heat your kitchen. Top burners should not be operated without cookware

on the grate. Such abuse could result in fire and damage to your range and will void your

warranty.

■ Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in

the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Explosions or fires could result.

■ Do not use oven for a storage area. Items stored in the oven can ignite.

■ Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the range.

WARNING! ANTI-TIP DEVICE

Installation of the range.

Read these instructions completely and carefully.

Provide Adequate Gas Supply

Your range is designed to operate at a 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.

Connect the Range to Gas

Shut off the main gas supply valve before disconnecting the old range and leave it off until the new

hook-up 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 an A.G.A.-certified flexible metal

appliance connector is recommended unless local

codes require a hard-piped connection.

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 elbow at inlet of

regulator. On models equipped with standard

twin burners, install the male pipe thread end

of the 1/2″ flare union adapter to the 1/2″

NPT internal thread at inlet of pressure

regulator. Use a backup wrench on the

regulator fitting to avoid damage.

When installing the range from the front,

remove the 90° elbow for easier installation.

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.

Electrical Connections (on some models)

Electrical Requirements

120-volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded branch

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 three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with

a standard three-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 two-prong wall receptacle is

encountered, it is the personal responsibility and

obligation of the customer to have it replaced with

a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT

OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG

FROM THE POWER CORD.

Usage Situations where Appliance

Power Cord will be Disconnected

Infrequently.

An adapter may be used only on a 15-amp circuit.

Do not use an adapter on a 20-amp circuit. Where

local codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION

may be made to a properly grounded two-prong

wall receptacle by the use of a UL-listed adapter,

available at most hardware stores. The larger slot in

the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in

the wall receptacle to provide proper polarity in the

connection of the power cord.

When disconnecting the power cord from the

adapter, always hold the adapter with one hand.

If this is not done, the adapter ground terminal is

very likely to break with repeated use. Should this

happen, DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper

ground has again been established.

CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground

terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does

not ground the appliance unless the cover screw

is metal, and not insulated, and the wall

receptacle is grounded through the house

wiring. The customer should have the circuit

checked by a qualified electrician to make sure

the receptacle is properly grounded.

Preferred Method

Temporary Method

Ensure proper ground exists

Installation of the range.

Read these instructions completely and carefully.

Electrical Connections (on some models)

Usage Situations where Appliance

Power Cord will be Disconnected

Frequently.

Do not use an adapter plug in these situations

because disconnecting of the power cord places

undue strain on the adapter and leads to eventual

failure of the adapter ground terminal. The

customer should have the two-prong wall receptacle

replaced with a three-prong (grounding) receptacle

by a qualified electrician before using the

appliance.

The installation of appliances designed for mobile

home installation must conform with the

Manufactured Home Construction and Safety

Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (formerly the

Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction

and Safety, Title 24, HUD, Part 280) or, when such

standard is not applicable, the Standard for

Manufactured Home Installations, latest edition

(Manufactured Home Sites, Communities and

Set-Ups), ANSI A225.1, latest edition, or with local

codes. In Canada, mobile home installation must

be in accordance with the current CAN/CSA

Z240/MH Mobile Home Installation Code.

Electric Disconnect

■ Locate disconnect plug on the range back.

■ Pinch sides of connector and pull out of range

back.

Seal the Openings

Seal any openings in the wall behind the range and

in the floor under the range when hookups are

completed.

Check Ignition of Surface Burners

Operation of all cooktop and oven burners should

be checked after the range and gas supply lines

have been carefully checked for leaks.

Electric Ignition Models

Select a top burner knob and simultaneously

push in and turn to LITE position. You will hear

a clicking sound indicating proper operation of the

spark module. Once the air has been purged from

the supply lines, burners should light within

4 seconds. After burner lights, rotate knob out of

the LITE position. Try each burner in succession

until all burners have been checked.

Check Ignition of Oven Burner

The oven is designed to operate quietly and

automatically. To operate the oven, press the BAKE

pad and then press the +/– or number pads until

350° appears in the display. Press the START pad.

After 30–90 seconds, the oven burner will ignite

and burn until the set temperature is reached. The

oven burner will continue to cycle on and off as

necessary to maintain the oven at the temperature

indicated by the display.

To check ignition of the broil burner, press the

BROIL HI/LO pad and then the START pad. After

30–90 seconds, the broil burner will ignite.

Electric ignition models require electrical power

to operate. In case of a power outage, the oven

burners on these models cannot be lit manually

with a match. Gas will not flow unless the glow bar

is hot.

If the oven is in use when a power outage occurs,

the burner will shut off and cannot be re-lit until

power is restored.

Installation of the range.

Read these instructions completely and carefully.

Adjust Broil and Oven Burner Air Adjustment Shutters if Necessary

Air adjustment shutters for the top and bottom burners

regulate the flow of air to the flames.

The air adjustment shutter for the top (broil)

burner is in the center of the rear wall of the oven.

The shutter for the bottom (oven) burner is near

the back wall behind the storage drawer or the

warming drawer (depending on the model).

Remove the drawer. See the Care and cleaning

of the range section.

To adjust the flow of air to either burner, loosen the Phillips

head screw and rotate the shutter toward open or closed

position as needed.

The flames for the top (broil) burner should be

steady with approximately 1″ blue cones and should

not extend out over the edges of the burner baffle.

To determine if the bottom burner flames are

burning properly, remove the oven bottom. Flames

should have approximately 1″ blue cones and, if

range is supplied with natural gas, should burn

with no yellow tipping. (With most LP gas, small

yellow tips at the end of outer cones are normal.)

Flames should not lift off burner ports. If lifting is

observed, gradually reduce air shutter opening

until flames are stabilized.

To remove the oven bottom:

Remove the knurled screws holding down

rear of the oven bottom.

Grasp the oven bottom at finger slots on

each side.

Lift the rear of the oven bottom enough to

clear the lip of the range frame, then pull out.

Leveling the Range

Install the oven shelves in the oven and

position the range where it will be installed.

Check for levelness by placing a spirit level or

a cup, partially filled with water, on one of the

oven shelves. If using a spirit level, take two

readings—with the level placed diagonally

first in one direction and then the other.

Remove the storage drawer or warming

drawer. See the Care and cleaning of the range

section. The front leveling legs can be adjusted

from the bottom and the rear legs can be

adjusted from the top or the bottom.

Using an open-end or adjustable wrench,

adjust the leveling legs until the range is level.

After the range is level, slide the range away

from the wall so that the Anti-Tip device

can be installed.
