Introduction
GE introduced the new Profile 30-in. free standing double oven range. It is available in two design choices
- convection and non-convection lower ovens. These ranges feature electronic oven controls and surface
unit dial controls that combine the precision of modern digital technology with the simplicity of traditional
mechanical controls. Their superior style and performance parallel commercial ranges.
Electronically controlled oven heating elements•
-- provide precise cooking control with fast
preheating.
Convection models use reverse-air convection•
technology -- a bidirectional fan that works with
a dedicated third heating element to promote
even heat circulation.
Performance compensation for 208-volt•
installation boosts power as needed in multifamily
dwellings.
6.5 cu. ft. total capacity.•
Cooktop locked out during self clean.•
New motorized self-clean door latch.•
Recessed convection, low-profile broil elements,•
and hidden lower oven bake element.
Dual Halogen lights located in both oven interiors.•
Full-extension, self-cleaning porcelain-coated•
racks that can be left in the oven during the self-
clean cycle.
Hidden lower oven bake element, concealed beneath the oven floor, allows quick and easy ash removal•
following the self-clean cycle.
Broil Boost provides faster broil temperatures.•
Both range designs are available with slow cook, pizza, and warming features.•

Because heated air is circulated evenly
throughout the oven, foods can be
baked with excellent results using
multiple racks.
Multi-rack baking may increase cook
times slightly for some foods but the
overall result is time saved. Cookies,
muffins, biscuits and other quickbreads
give very good results with multi-rack
baking.
To cook food on more than one rack in
convection bake, use CONVECTION BAKE
MULTI.
When baking on 3 racks, place one
rack in the second (A) position, another
rack in the fourth (C) position and the
third rack in the sixth (E) position.
For two-rack baking, place one rack in the
second (B) rack position. Place the other
rack in the fifth (E) rack position.
Multi-Rack Convection Baking
Multi-rack position.
When convection baking with only 1 rack, use
CONVECTION BAKE 1 RACK and follow the
rack positions recommended in the Using the
oven section.
■Ideal for baked foods cooked on 1 rack.
1-Rack Convection Baking
The convection oven comes with two
convection baking modes: Convection
Bake Multi and Convection Bake 1 Rack:
MULTI—for convection cooking on more
than one rack. Touch the CONVECTION
BAKE MULTI/1 RACK pad and then the 2
pad. See the Multi-Rack Convection Baking
section below.
1 RACK—for convection cooking on one
rack only. Touch the CONVECTION BAKE
MULTI/1 RACK and then the 1pad. See the
1-Rack Convection Baking section below.
Introduction
Convection Fan Operation
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: To maximize cooking evenness,
the fan is designed to rotate in both
directions, with a pause in between.
This is normal.
The convection 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.

changing temperature, starting at 100°F,
will be displayed. When oven reaches the
temperature you set, 3 beeps will sound.
Touch CLEAR/OFF pad when finished.
■You will hear a fan while cooking with
convection. The fan will stop when the door
is opened, but the heat will not turn off.
■You may hear the oven clicking during
baking. This is normal.
■In convection bake modes, for maximum cooking
evenness, the fan is designed to rotate in
both directions, with a pause in between.
This is normal.

OR
Grid
Broiler pan
■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 for best convection roasting results.
The pan is used to catch grease spills
and the grid is used to prevent grease
spatters.

You will hear a fan while cooking with these features. The fan will stop when the door is opened, but the heat
will not turn off.
NOTE: Foods that spoil easily—such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, poultry and pork—should not be allowed to sit
for more than 1 hour before or after cooking. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria. Be sure
that the oven light is off because heat from the bulb will speed harmful bacteria growth.

How to Set the Upper/Lower Oven for Cleaning
The oven doors must be closed and all
controls set correctly for the cycle to work
properly.
Touch the SELF CLEAN HI/LO pad
once for a 5-hour clean time or
twice for a 3-hour clean time.
A 3-hour self-clean time is
recommended for use when
cleaning small, contained spills.
A self-clean time of 5 hours is
recommended for a dirtier oven.
If a time other than 5 hours or
3 hours is needed, use the number
pads and enter the desired
clean time.
You can change the clean time to
any time between 3 hours and 5 hours,
depending on how dirty your oven is.
Touch the START pad.
The upper and lower oven doors
lock automatically. The cooktop elements
are also locked out during self-clean.
The display will show the clean time
remaining. It will not be possible to
open the oven doors or use the cooktop
until the temperature drops below the
lock temperature and LOCKED goes off
in the control display.
When LOCKED goes off, you will be able to
open the doors.
■The word LOCKED will flash and the
word door will display if you set the
clean cycle and forget to close the
oven doors.
■To stop a clean cycle, touch the
CLEAR/OFF pad. When LOCKED goes off,
indicating the ovens have cooled below
the locking temperature, you will be
able to open the doors.
You can set a clean cycle in both ovens
at the same time; however, they will not
self-clean at the same time. The last oven
set will automatically delay its start until
the end of the first oven’s clean cycle.
When an oven is set to self-clean, both
oven doors will lock and the cooktop
controls will lock out. The ovens and
cooktop cannot be used when an
oven is set to self-clean.
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven
bottom.
Before a 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 any broiler pan, broiler grid,
probe, all cookware and any aluminum
foil from the oven.
NOTE:
■If your oven is equipped with shiny,
silver-colored oven racks, remove them
before you begin the self-clean cycle.
■If your oven is equipped with gray
porcelain-coated oven racks, they
may be left in the oven during the
self-clean cycle.
Soil on the front frame of the range and
outside the gasket on the door will need
to be cleaned by hand. Clean these areas
with hot water, soap-filled steel-wool pads
or cleansers such as Soft Scrub®
. Rinse
well with clean water and dry.
Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass
material of the oven door gasket cannot
withstand abrasion. It is essential for the
gasket to remain intact. If you notice it
becoming worn or frayed, replace it.
Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the
oven bottom.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is
in place and the oven light is off.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds
is extremely sensitive to the fumes given
off during the self-cleaning cycle of any
range. Move birds to another well-
ventilated room.
Using the self-cleaning upper and lower ovens.
