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,
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.
For free-standing or slide-in ranges, 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

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The Cali ornia Sa e Drinking Water and Toxic En orcement Act requires the Governor o Cali ornia to
publish a list o substances known to the state to cause birth de ects or other reproductive harm, and
requires businesses to warn customers o potential exposure to such substances.
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to our o these substances, namely benzene, carbon
monoxide, ormaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion o natural gas
or LP uels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow lame, will minimize
incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open
window or using a ventilation an or hood.
WARNING: NEVER u e thi
appliance a a pace heater to heat or
warm the room. Doing o may re ult
in carbon monoxide poi oning and

SURFACE BURNERS
Use proper pan size—avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having lat
bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. To avoid spillovers, make sure cookware is large enough
to contain the ood properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations o
ood, since heavy spattering or spillovers le t on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be
easily grasped and remain cool.
■Alway u e the LITE po ition (on electric
ignition model ) or the HI po ition (on tanding
pilot model ) when igniting the top burner
and make ure the burner have ignited.
■Never leave the urface burner unattended at
high flame etting . Boilover cau e moking
and grea y pillover that may catch on fire.
■Adju t the top burner flame ize o it
doe not extend beyond the edge of the
cookware. Exce ive flame i hazardou .
■U e only dry pot holder —moi t or damp pot
holder on hot urface may re ult in burn
from team. Do not let pot holder come near
open flame when lifting cookware. Do not u e
a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a pot
holder.
■When u ing gla cookware, make ure it
i de igned for top-of-range cooking.
■To minimize the po ibility of burn , ignition
of flammable material and pillage, turn
cookware handle toward the ide or back
of the range without extending over adjacent
burner .
■Carefully watch food being fried at a high
flame etting.
■Alway heat fat lowly, and watch a it heat .
■Do not leave any item on the cooktop. The
hot air from the vent may ignite flammable
item and will increa e pre ure in clo ed
container , which may cau e them to bur t.
■If a combination of oil or fat will be u ed in
frying, tir together before heating or a fat
melt lowly.
■U e a deep fat thermometer whenever
po ible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the moking point.
■U e the lea t po ible amount of fat for
effective hallow or deep-fat frying. Filling the
pan too full of fat can cau e pillover when
food i added.
■Do not flame food on the cooktop. If you do
flame food under the hood, turn the fan on.
■Do not u e a wok on the cooking urface
if the wok ha a round metal ring that i
placed over the burner grate to upport
the wok. Thi ring act a a heat trap, which
may damage the burner grate and burner
head. Al o, it may cau e the burner to work
improperly. Thi may cau e a carbon
monoxide level above that allowed by current
tandard , re ulting in a health hazard.
■Food for frying hould be a dry a po ible.
Fro t on frozen food or moi ture on fre h

How to Select Flame Size
For sa e handling o cookware, never let the
lames extend up the sides o the cookware.
Watch the flame, not the knob, a you reduce
heat. When fa t heating i de ired, the flame
ize on a ga burner hould match the
cookware you are u ing.
Flame larger than the bottom of the
cookware will not re ult in fa ter heating
of the cookware and could be hazardou .
Stove Top Grills (on models with sealed burners)
Do not u e tove top grill on your ealed ga
burner . If you u e the tove top grill on the
ealed ga burner, it will cau e incomplete
combu tion and can re ult in expo ure to
carbon monoxide level above allowable
tandard .
This can be hazardous to your health.
Wok This Way (on models with sealed burners)
We recommend that you use a 14 ″or smaller
lat-bottomed wok. Make sure the wok bottom
sits lat on the grate. They are available at
your local retail store.
Only a flat-bottomed wok hould be u ed.
Do not u e a flat-bottomed wok on a upport
ring. Placing the ring over the burner or grate
may cau e the burner to work improperly,
re ulting in carbon monoxide level above
allowable tandard . Thi could be dangerou
to your health.
In Case of Power Failure (electric ignition models)
In ca e of a power failure, you can light
the ga urface burner on your range with
a match. Hold a lit match to the burner, then
pu h in and turn the control knob to the LITE
po ition. U e extreme caution when lighting
burner thi way.
Surface burner in u e when an electrical
power failure occur will continue to operate
normally.
Top-of-Range Cookware
Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware i
recommended becau e it heat quickly
and evenly. Mo t food brown evenly in an
aluminum killet. U e aucepan with tight-
fitting lid when cooking with minimum
amount of water.
Cast-Iron: If heated lowly, mo t killet will
give ati factory re ult .
Enamelware: Under ome condition , the
enamel of ome cookware may melt. Follow
cookware manufacturer’ recommendation
for cooking method .
Glass: There are two type of gla
cookware—tho e for oven u e only and tho e
for top-of-range cooking ( aucepan , coffee
and teapot ). Gla conduct heat very
lowly.
Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be u ed for
either urface or oven cooking. It conduct
heat very lowly and cool very lowly. Check
cookware manufacturer’ direction to be
ure it can be u ed on ga range .
Stainless Steel: Thi metal alone ha poor
heating propertie and i u ually combined
with copper, aluminum or other metal for
improved heat di tribution. Combination
metal killet u ually work ati factorily if
they are u ed with medium heat a the

Vent appearance and location vary.
The oven has 5 shel positions.
It also has a special low shel
position (R) or extra large items,
such as a large turkey.
To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position be ore you turn the oven on.
Oven Control
Your oven i controlled by a ingle OVEN
CONTROL knob.
It will normally take 30–90 econd before
the flame come on. After the oven reache

cycle —off completely, then on with a
full flame—to maintain the elected
temperature.
Using the oven.
Before You Begin…
The helve have top-lock , o that when
placed correctly on the helf upport
(A through E), they will top before
coming completely out, and will not tilt.
When placing and removing cookware,
pull the helf out to the bump on the
helf upport.
To remove a shelf, pull it toward you, tilt the
front end up and pull it out.
To replace, place the end of the helf
( top-lock ) on the upport, tilt up the
front and pu h the helf in.
NOTE: The shel is not designed to slide out at
the special low shel (R) position.
Oven Vent
Your oven i vented through duct at the rear
of the range. Do not block the e duct when
cooking in the oven—it i important that the
flow of hot air from the oven and fre h air
to the oven burner be uninterrupted.
Avoid touching the vent opening or
nearby urface during oven or broiler
operation—they may become hot.
■Handles o pots and pans on the cooktop
may become hot i le t too close to the vent.
■Do not leave plastic or lammable items on
the cooktop—they may melt or ignite i le t
too close to the vent.
■Do not leave closed containers on the
cooktop. The pressure in closed containers
may increase, which may cause them to
burst.
