WARNING

OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

NEVER cover any slots, holes, or

passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack

with materials such as aluminum foil or oven liners.

Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may

cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Never place foil

or oven liners on the oven bottom. They can trap heat

causing risk of smoke or fire.

■ Standawayfromtherangewhenopeningtheoven

door.Hotairorsteamwhichescapescancauseburns

tohands,faceand/oreyes.

■ Neverplacecookingutensils,pizzaorbakingstones,or

any type of foil or liner on the oven floor. These items

cantrapheatormelt,resultingindamagetotheproduct

andriskofshock,smokeorfire.

■ Placeovenracksindesiredlocationwhileoveniscool.

Ifrackmustbemovedwhileovenishot,becarefulto

avoid touching hot surfaces.

■ Donotleaveitemssuchaspaper,cookingutensilsor

foodintheovenwhennotinuse.Itemsstoredinan

oven can ignite.

■ Donotleaveitemsonthecooktopneartheovenvent.

Itemsmayoverheatresultinginariskoffireorburns.

■ Neverbroilwithdooropen.Open-doorbroilingisnot

permitted due to overheating of control knobs.

WARNING

COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (Cont.)

■ AlwaysusetheLITEpositionwhenignitingthetop

Cleaning The Cooktop

How to Use Your Griddle (on some models)

For complete griddle information, see the full owner's manual at www.GEAppliances.com.

WARNING

Fire Hazard

■ Use care when cooking greasy foods. Spilled grease

can result in fire.

■ Neverplaceanyitemsonthegriddlewhenitisnot

in use. Heat from surrounding burners can heat the

griddle and can result in fire.

■ Placeandremovethegriddleonlywhenallgrates

and griddle are cool and all surface burners are

turned OFF.

Beforefirstuse,rinsewithhotwateranddrythoroughly.

Preparesurfacewithvegetableoilorcookingspray.The

griddle can only be used over the center oval burner.

Removethecentergrate(ifpresent)andreplacewithgriddle.

Do not overheat the griddle. Leaving the griddle burner

onatHIforanextendedamountoftimewithoutfoodcan

damage the nonstick coating.

Avoidusingmetalutensilswithsharppointsorroughsharp

edgeswhichmightdamagethegriddlesurface.

For complete information about cleaning the cooktop, see the full owner’s manual at www.GEAppliances.com.

Removesurfaceburnersforcleaningasshownbelow.

Washburnercapsandburnerheadsinhotsoapywaterand

rinsewithcleanwater.Theportsintheburnerheadsmust

bekeptcleanatalltimesforaneven,unhamperedflame.

Cloggedordirtyburnerportswillnotallowburnertooperate

properly.Beforeputtingburnersbackontherange,shake

outanyexcesswaterandallowthemtodrythoroughly.

CAUTION

Do not operate the cooktop without all

burner parts and grates in place.

Any spill on or around an electrode must be carefully

cleaned.Takecaretonothitanelectrodewithanything

hard or it could be damaged.

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.

Damage to the product may occur.

Removal of Surface Burners for Cleaning

TurnallcontrolsOFF.Allowcooktoptocoolbefore

removinggratesandburnerparts.Whenremovingthe

burnercapsandheads,remembertheirsizeandlocation.

Replacetheminthesamelocationaftercleaning.

How to Select Flame Size

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

rapidheatingisdesired,theflamesizeonaburnershould

matchthesizeofthecookwareyouareusing.Flames

Cooking Modes and Recommendations

Follow these general recommendations for better results. For a complete cooking guide with recommended

cooking modes and food positions, see the full owner’s manual at www.GEAppliances.com.

Bake:Placefoodinapproximatelythecenterofthe

oven.Whenbakingonasinglerackuseposition3or4.

Whenbakingonmultipleracksusepositions3and5.If

bakingonmultipleracksintraditionalbakemode,switch

food location partially through cooking for more even

results.Whenbakingmultipleitems,ensurethereisspace

betweenitems.

Convection Bake (some models):Usethis

modeforbakingonmultipleracks.Usepositions3and5.

YourovenisequippedwithAutoRecipeConversion,so

itisnotnecessarytoadjustthetemperaturewhenusing

convection bake.

Broil:Alwaysbroilwiththedoorclosed.Forbetter

searing use the rack position that places food closest to the

broilheater.MovefooddownoruseBroilLomodeformore

doneness/lesssearing.Somemodelshaveabroildrawer

withthreebroilingpositions.InpositionsBandC,thebroil

pan(somemodels)orrack(somemodels)restsonthe

supports.Inthebottomposition(A),cookwaresitsdirectly

onthedrawerbottom.Takecarenottotouchtheinnerdoor

whenplacingandremovingfoodonthedrawerbottom.
