IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
ANTI-TIP DEVICE
WARNING
• All ranges can tip.
• BURNS or other SERIOUS
INJURIES can result.
• INSTALL and CHECK the
ANTI-TIP bracket following the instructions supplied with the bracket.
To reduce the risk of tipping the range, the range must be secured by a properly installed anti-tip bracket. See installation instructions shipped with the bracket for complete details before attempting to install.
To check if the bracket is installed and engaged properly, remove the storage drawer or kick panel and look underneath the range to see that the leveling leg is engaged in the bracket.
On models without a storage drawer or kick panel, carefully tip the range forward. The bracket should stop the range within
4 inches. If it does not, the bracket must be reinstalled. If the range is pulled from the wall for any reason, always repeat this procedure to verify the range is properly secured by the anti-tip bracket.
Never completely remove the leveling legs or the range will not be secured to the anti-tip device properly.
If you did not receive an anti-tip bracket with your purchase, call 1.800.626.8774 to receive one at no cost (in Canada, call 1.800.561.3344). For installation instructions of the bracket, visit GEAppliances.com
(in Canada, GEAppliances.ca).
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
■
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s
Manual.
■
Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified installer in accordance with the provided installation instructions.
■
Have the installer show you the location of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.
■
Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your range unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
■
Before performing any service, disconnect the range power supply at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker.
■
Do not leave children alone—children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where an appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
■
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the door, storage drawer or cooktop. They could damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe personal injury.
WARNING!
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Do not operate the oven or cooktop controls if the glass is broken. Food splatter or cleaning solution may penetrate a broken control panel and create a risk of electrical shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately should your glass control panel become broken.
■
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 backsplash 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.
■
■
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.
■
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.
Flame in the oven can be smothered completely by closing the oven door and turning the oven off or by using a multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
■
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, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
■
Keep the hood and grease filters clean to maintain good venting and to avoid grease fires.
■
Teach children not to play with the controls or any other part of the range.
■
Always keep dish towels, dishcloths, pot holders and other linens a safe distance from your range.
■
Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and canned food a safe distance from your range.
■
Always keep combustible wall coverings, curtains or drapes a safe distance from your range.
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.
RADIANT SURFACE UNITS
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.
ge.com
RADIANT SURFACE UNITS
■
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.
■
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
CERAMA BRYTE ® Ceramic Cooktop
Cleaner and the CERAMA BRYTE ®
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.
■
Large scratches or impacts to glass doors or cooktops can lead to broken or shattered glass.
■
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.
■
Do not leave plastic or flammable items on the cooktop—they may melt or ignite if left too close to the vent.
■
Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can lead to damage and improper operation of the range.

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 overcooking, remove pans from the surface units when the food is cooked.
Avoid placing anything on the surface unit until it has cooled completely.

Selecting types of cookware.
Check pans for flat bottoms by using a straight edge.
Pans with rounded, curved, ridged or warped bottoms are not recommended.
ge.com
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, since it may scratch the glass ceramic cooktop.
Glass-Ceramic:
usable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Stoneware:

Using the oven.
To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
The oven has 6 shelf positions.
Before you begin…
The shelves have stop-locks, so that when placed correctly on the shelf supports (A through F), 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.
CAUTION: When you are using the shelf in the lowest position (A), you will need to use caution when pulling the shelf out. We recommend that you pull the shelf out several inches and then, using two pot holders, pull the shelf out by holding the sides of it. The shelf is low and you could be burned if you place your hand in the middle of the shelf and pull all the way out. Be very careful not to burn your hand on the door when using the shelf in the lowest position (A).

Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.
Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.
The Display will show “PRE” while preheating. When the oven reaches the selected temperature, the oven control will beep and the display will show the oven temperature.
Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible. If baking with more than one pan, place the pans so each has at least 1 to 1 1 ⁄
2
″ of air space around it. If baking four cake layers at the same time, place two layers on rack B and two layers on rack D. Stagger pans on the rack so one is not directly above the other.
Aluminum Foil
Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of the oven.
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.

NOTE: The oven light comes on automatically (on some models) when the door is opened and goes off when the door is closed. The bulb may be removed. See the Oven Light Replacement section. On models with a light switch on the control panel, the oven light may be turned on and left on.

Adjust the oven thermostat—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 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 degrees.
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.
To Adjust the Thermostat
Touch the BAKE and BROIL HI/LO pads at the same time for 3 seconds until the display shows SF.
Touch the BAKE pad. A two-digit number shows in the display.
The oven temperature can be adjusted up to (+) 35°F hotter or (–)
35°F cooler. Touch the + pad to increase the temperature in 1-degree increments.
Touch the – pad to decrease the temperature in 1-degree increments.
When you have made the adjustment, touch the START/ON pad to go back to the time of day display.
Use your oven as you would normally.
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling temperatures. It will be retained in memory after a power failure.
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.

Care and cleaning of the range.
Be sure all controls are 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 reengaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to take this precaution could result in tipping of the range and cause injury.
How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape
Carefully grasp a corner of the protective shipping film with your fingers and slowly peel it from the appliance surface. Do not use any sharp items to remove the film. Remove all of the film before using the appliance for the first time.
To assure no damage is done to the finish of the product, the safest way to remove the adhesive from packaging tape on new appliances is an application of a household liquid dishwashing detergent. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak.
NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all parts. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.
Control Knobs
The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning.
Make sure the knobs are in the OFF positions and pull them straight off the stems for cleaning.
Oven Vent
The oven vent is located behind the right rear surface unit.
This area could become hot during oven use.
The knobs can be cleaned in a dishwasher or they may also be washed with soap and water. Make sure the inside of the knobs are dry before replacing.
Replace the knobs in the OFF position to ensure proper placement.
Painted Surfaces
Painted surfaces include the sides of the range and the door, top of control panel and the drawer front. Clean these with soap and water or a vinegar and water solution.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners, cleaning powders, steel wool or harsh abrasives on any painted surface.
Control Panel
It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use of the oven. Use a damp cloth to clean or rinse. For cleaning, use mild soap and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water. For rinsing, use clean water. 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.
It is normal for steam to come out of the vent, and moisture may collect underneath it when the oven is in use.
The vent is important for proper air circulation.
Never block this vent.

Porcelain Oven Interior
With proper care, the porcelain enamel finish on the inside of the oven—top, bottom, sides, back and inside of the door—will stay new-looking for years.
Let the oven cool before cleaning. We recommend that you wear rubber gloves when cleaning the oven.
Soap and water will normally do the job. Heavy spattering or spillovers may require cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner. Soap-filled scouring 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 the package directions.
■ Do not spray oven cleaner 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 oven door, handles or any exterior surface of the oven, cabinets or painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage these surfaces.
Stainless Steel Surfaces
(on some models)
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.
To inquire about purchasing stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish, or to find the location of a dealer nearest you, please call our toll-free number:
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.

Care and cleaning of 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.
Cleaning the Oven Door
To clean the inside of the door:
■
Soap and water will normally do the job. Heavy spattering or spillovers may require cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner. Soap-filled scouring 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.
If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner. Follow the package directions.
■
Clean the inside of the oven window with a mild non-scratching cleaner and a damp cloth.
To clean the outside of the door:
■
Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides and front of the oven door. Rinse well. You may also use a glass cleaner to clean the glass on the outside of the door. Do not let water drip into the vent openings.
■
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting materials containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. When surface is cool, clean and rinse.
■
Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning powders or harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.
