IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
iA WARNING i COOKTOPSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS
Never leave the surface units unattended at medium or
high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may catch on fire.
iiiiiiiiiiii_i;i
Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed to
heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite, resulting
in fire that may spread to surrounding cabinets. Use a
deep fat thermometer whenever possible to monitor oil
temperature.
To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum amount of
oil when shallow pan-frying and avoid cooking frozen
foods with excessive amounts of ice.
iiiiiiiiiiii_i;i
Useproper pan size--selectcookware having flat
bottoms largeenough to coverthe surface heating
element.Theuseof undersizedcookware will expose
a portion of the surface unitto direct contact and may
result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationshipof
cookware to surface unit willalso improve efficiency.
iiiiiiiiiiii_i;i
iiiiiiiiiiii_i;i
iiiiiiiiiiii_i;i
Only certaintypes of glass,glass/ceramic, earthenware
or other glazedcontainers are suitable for cooktop
service;others may break because ofthe 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.
When preparing flaming foods under a hood, turn the
fan on.
If power is lost to an electric cooktop while a surface
unit is ON, the surface unit will turn back ON as soon
as power is restored. In the event of power loss, failure
to turn all surface unit knobs to the OFF position may
result in ignition of items on or near the cooktop leading
to serious injury or death.
[A WARNING i RADIANT COOKTOPSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS
(some models)
Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface
of the cooktop will retain heat after the controls have
been turned off.
Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If glass cooktop
should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers
may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a
risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician
immediately.
Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The cooktop can be
scratched with items such as knives, sharp instruments,
rings or other jewelry and rivets on clothing.
Do not place or store items that can melt or catch fire
on the glass cooktop, even when it is not being used. If
the cooktop is inadvertently turned on, they may ignite.
Heat from the cooktop or oven vent after it isturned off
may cause them to ignite also.
[A WARNING !
(somemodels)

[A WARNING [OVEN SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS
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.
Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
Keep the oven free from grease buildup. Grease in the
oven may ignite.
Place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool.
If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let pot
holder contact hot heating element in oven.
When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven,
follow the manufacturer's directions.
Pull the oven rack to the stop-lock position when
loading and unloading food from the oven. This helps
prevent burns from touching hot surfaces of the door
and oven walls.
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 use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. Foil
may trap or reflect heat, leading to a shock or fire
hazard.
[,&WARNING
(Some models) ] SELF-CLEANING OVEN SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS
The self-cleaning feature operates the oven at temperatures high enough to burn away food soils in the oven.
Follow these instructions for safe operation.
Before operating the self-clean cycle, remove pans,
shiny metal oven racks and other utensils from the
oven. Only gray or black porcelain-coated oven racks
and drip pans may be left in the oven. Do not use
self-clean to clean other parts, such as shiny drip pans
or bowls.
Before operating the self-clean cycle, wipe grease and
food soils from the oven. Excessive amount of grease
may ignite, leading to smoke damage to your home.
If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the oven
off and disconnect the power supply. Have it serviced
by a qualified technician.
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.
Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven cleaner
or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be
used in or around any part of the oven.
jA WARNING [ WARMING DRAWER SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS (somemode sl
The purpose of the warming drawer isto hold hot
cooked foods at serving temperature. Bacteria will grow
in food while it is below 140°F. Do not put cold food
in warming drawer. Do not heat food for more than 2
hours. Failure to follow these instructions may result in
foodborne illness.
Do not leave paper products, plastics, canned food or
combustible materials in the drawer. They may ignite.
Do not touch the heating element or the interior surface
of the drawer. These surfaces may be hot enough to
cause burns.
Usecare 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 that escapes can cause
burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
Do not use aluminum foil to line the lower drawer. The
foil will trap heat below, and upset the performance
of the oven. Foil can melt and permanently damage
the drawer bottom. Damage from improper use of
aluminum foil is not covered by the product warranty.

The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.
Check pans for flat bottoms by
using a straight edge,
Stainless Steel:
recommended
Aluminum:
heaW weight recommended
Good conductivity. Aluminum residues
sometimes appear as scratches on the cooktop
but can be removed if cleaned immediately.
Becauseof its low melting point,thin weight
aluminum should not be used.
Copper Bottom:
recommended
Coppermay leave residueswhich can appear
asscratches. Theresidues can be removed, as
long as the cooktop iscleaned immediately.
However, do not let these pots boil dry.
Overheated metal can bond to glass cooktops.
An overheated copper bottom pot will leavea
residuethat will permanently stain the cooktop
if not removed immediately.
Porcelain Enamel on Cast Iron:
recommended if bottom of pan is coated
Porcelain Enamel on Steek
not recommended
Heating empty pans can cause permanent
damage to cooktop glass. The enamel can melt
and bond to the ceramic cooktop.
Glass-ceramic:
not recommended
Poor performance. Willscratch the surface.
Stoneware:
not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Cast Iron:
not recommended-unless designed specifically
for glass cooktops
Poor conductivity and slow to absorb heat. Will
scratch the cooktop surface.
Pans with rounded, curved,
ridged or warped bottoms are not
recommended. NOTE:Follow all cookware manufacturer's recommendations when usingany type ofcookware on
the ceramiccooktop.
Do not place wet pans
On the glass cooktop.
Donot use woks with support
iiii i i
Use flat-bottomed woks
On the glass Cooktop,
For Best Results
:: Placeonly dry pans on the surface
elements. Do not place lids on the surface
elements, particularly wet lids.Wet pans
and lids may stick to the surface when cool.
Do not use woks that have support rings.
This type of wok will not heat on glass
surface elements,
We recommend that you use only a flat-
bottomed wok. They are available at your
local retail store. The bottom of the wok
should have the same diameter as the
surface element to ensure proper contact.
Some special cooking procedures require
specific cookware such as pressure
cookers or deep-fat fryers. All cookware
must have flat bottoms and be the correct
size.

Adjust the oven thermostat--Do it yourself! GEApplionces.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 only affect baking and roasting temperatures; it will not affect broiling or self-cleaning
temperatures. The adjustment 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).
Ifyou 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.
Federalstandards require products labeled "margarine" to contain at least 80% fat byweight. Low-fat spreads,on the other hand,
contain lessfat and more water. The high moisture content ofthese spreads affects the texture and flavor of baked goods. Forbest
resultswith your old favorite recipes,usemargarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.

Convection Fan Operation
In a convection oven, a fan circulates hot air
over, under and around the food.
Thiscirculating hot air isevenly distributed
throughout the oven cavity.Asa result,foods
are evenlycooked and browned-often in less
time with convection heat.
NOTE:On some models,the fan isdesigned
to rotate in both directions,with a pause in
between.This is normal.
Theconvection fan shuts off when the oven
door isopened. DONOTleave the door open
for long periods of time while using convection
cooking or you may shorten the lifeof the
convection heating element.

When convection baking with only i rack,place
the food sothat it iscentered in the oven.
Grid Convection Roast (on some models)
Good for large tender cuts of meat,
uncovered.
Theconvection fan circulates the heated air
evenly over and around the food. Heat and
poultry are browned on all sidesas ifthey were
cooked on a rotisserie.The heated air sealsin
juices quicklyfor 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
usedto catch grease spillsand the grid isused

Metal and Glass
Anytype of cookware will work in your
convection oven; however, metal pans heat the
fastest and are recommended for convection
baking.
Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake
faster than shiny pans.
Glassor ceramic panscook more slowly.
Forrecipes likeoven-baked chicken, usea pan

Using the probe, consomemode sI
For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal food temperature is the best test for doneness. The temperature
probe takes the guesswork out of roasting by cooking foods to the exact alonenessyou want.
The temperature probe has a
skewer-like probe at one end and
a plug at the other end that goes
into the outlet in the oven.
[A CAUTION
Topreventburns,do not unplug the probe from
the ovenoutlet untilthe ovenhascooled.
Use of probes other than the one provided with
this product may result in damage to the probe
or oven control.
Usethe handles of the probe and plug when
inserting and removing them from the food and
outlet.
Toavoid damaging your probe, do not use
tongs to pull on the cable when removing it.
Toavoid breaking the probe, make sure food
iscompletely defrosted before inserting.
After preparing the meat and placing it on
a trivet or a broiler pan grid,follow these
directions for proper probe placement.
Insertthe probe completely into the meat. It
should not touch bone,fat or gristle.
NOTE:Failureto fully insert the probe into the
meat may result in poor cooking performance
because the probe will sense the oven air vs.
the food temperature.
Readand remove label
Never leaveyour probe insidethe oven
during a self-cleaning or broil cycle.
Do not store the probe in the oven.
For roastswith no bone, insert the probe into
the meatiest part of the roast. Forbone-in ham
or lamb, insert the probe into the center of the
lowest large muscle.
Insertthe probe into the center of dishessuch
as meat loaf or casseroles.
Insertthe probe into the meatiest part of the
inner thigh from below and parallel to the leg of
a whole turkey.

Usin the self-cleanin oven.
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven
bottom.
Before aSelf-Clean Cycle
[A WARNING i
FIREHAZARD:Wipe grease and heavy soil
from the oven bottom before self-cleaning.
Failure to do so may result in an oven fire.
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, we recommend
you remove them before you begin the
self-clean cycle. They may remain in the
oven during the self-clean cycle, but they
will darken, lose their luster and become
hard to slide.
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 Scrubl Rinsewell with
clean water and dry.
Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass
material of the oven door gasket cannot
withstand abrasion. It isessential for the
gasket to remain intact. If you notice it
becoming worn or frayed, replace it.
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.
Hove birds to another well-ventilated room.
Canadian Models Only:
The surface units are automatically disabled
during the self-clean cycle. Make sure that
all surface unit controls are turned off at
all times during the self-clean cycle. Any
surface unit that is set to an "on" position
while the self-clean cycle is operating will
automatically come on after the self-clean
cycle is finished, and could result in an "on"
unattended surface unit. Wait until the
self-clean cycle is finished to set and use the
surface units.
