[AWARNING ]IMPORTANT SAFETYNOTICE
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.
The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off a very small amount of carbon monoxide during the cleaning cycle.
Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

iiiiiiiiiiiii!
necessary, use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam
type fire extinguisher.
If there is afire in the oven during self-clean, turn the
oven off and wait for the fire to go out. Do not force
the door open. Introduction of fresh air at self-clean
temperatures may lead to a burst of flame from the
oven. Failure to follow this instruction may result in
severe burns.
iA WARNING iCOOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Never leave the surface burners unattended at medium
or high heat settings. Foods, especially oily foods, may
ignite resulting in fire that could spread to surrounding
cabinets.
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 burners.
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.
Use proper pan size and avoid pans that are unstable
or easily tipped. Select cookware that is matched to the
size of the burner. Burner flames should be adjusted so
that they do not extend beyond the bottom of the pan.
Excessive flame may be hazardous.
Always use the LITEposition when igniting the top
burners and make sure the burners have ignited.
When using glass/ceramic cookware, make sure it is
suitable for cooktop service; others may break because
of sudden change in temperature.
When preparing flaming foods under a hood, turn the
fan on.
Do not use a wok with a round metal support ring. the
ring may trap heat and block air to the burner resulting
in a carbon monoxide hazard.
iiiiiiiiiiiii!
Do not attempt to lift the cooktop. Doing so may
damage the gas tubing to the surface burners resulting
in a gas leak and risk of fire.
When disabling Gas/Control Lockout (on some models),
make sure the surface controls are set to the OFF
position. This will prevent unintended gas flow from the
burners.
Do not use aluminum foil to cover the grates or line
any part of the cooktop. Doing so may result in carbon
monoxide poisoning, overheating of the cooktop
surfaces, or a potential fire hazard.

Sealed Gas Burners
Your gas range cooktop has sealed gas
burners. They offer convenience, cleanability
and flexibility to be used in a wide range of
cooking applications.
The smallest burner in the right rear position
isthe simmer burner. On some models, the
right front position triple flame burner will be
the simmer burner. This burner can be turned
down to SIM for a very low simmer setting.
It provides precise cooking performance for
delicate foods such as sauces or foods that
require low heat for a long cooking time.
The medium (left rear) and the large (left
front) burners are the primary burners
for most cooking. These general-purpose
burners can be turned down from HI to LO to
suit a wide range of cooking needs.
Theextra large burner (right front, triple flame
burner, or left front burner on some models)are
the maximum output burners. Likethe other
four burners, itcan be turned down from HI to
SIM for a wide range of cooking applications.
These burners are designed to quickly bring
large amounts of liquid to a boil.They have
a special POWER BOILT"setting designed to
be used with cookware 10 inches or larger in
diameter for the extra large and 12 inches or
larger for the triple flame burner.
For extra large burners only
For tri-ring burners only
Thecenter oval burner (onsome models)is for
large pots/pans or for usewith the griddle.

How to Select Flame Size
Forsafe handling of cookware, neverlet the
flames extend up the sidesof the cookware.
Watch the flame, not the knob, asyou reduce
heat. When fast heating isdesired,the flame
sizeon a gas burner should match the
cookware you are using.
Flameslarger than the bottom ofthe cookware
will not result in faster heating of the cookware
and could be hazardous.
Top-of-Range Cookware
Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is
recommended because it heats quickly
and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in an
aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with tight-
fitting lids when cooking with minimum
amounts of water.
Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will
give satisfactory results.
Enamelware: Under some conditions, the
enamel of some cookware may melt. Follow
cookware manufacturer's recommendations
for cooking methods.
Glass: There are two types of glass
cookware-those for oven use only and
those for top-of-range cooking (saucepans,
coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat
very slowly.
Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for
either surface or oven cooking. It conducts
heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check
cookware manufacturer's directions to be
sure it can be used on gas ranges.
Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor
heating properties and is usually combined
with copper, aluminum or other metals for
improved heat distribution. Combination
metal skillets usually work satisfactorily
ifthey are used with medium heat as the
manufacturer recommends.
Stove Top Grills
Do not usestove top grillson your sealedgas
burners. Ifyou usethe stovetop grill on the
sealedgas burner, it will cause incomplete
combustion and can result in exposure to
carbon monoxide levelsabove allowable
current standards.
Thiscan be hazardous to your health.
Use o flat-bottomed wok.
Wok This Way
We recommend that you usea 1/4-inchor
smaller flat-bottomed wok. Hake surethe wok
bottom sits flat on the grate. They are available
at your local retailstore.
Onlya flat-bottomed wok should be used.
Donot usea wok support ring. Placingthe
ring over the burner or grate may causethe
burner to work improperly, resulting in carbon
monoxide levelsabove allowable standards.
Thiscould be dangerous to your health.
In Case of Power Failure
In case of a power failure, you can light the
gas surface burners on your range with a
match. Hold a lit match to the burner, then
push in and turn the control knob to the LITE
position. Use extreme caution when lighting
burners this way.
Surface burners in usewhen an electrical
power failure occurs will continue to operate
normally.
NOT& IfGas/Control Lockout is in use at the
time of a power failure,the surfaceburners
cannot be lit.

Using the griddle, consomemode sl
Your non-stick coated griddle or preseasoned
griddle (onsome models)provides an
extra-large cooking surface for meats,
pancakes or other food usually prepared in a
frying pan or skillet.
NOTE:Your griddle will discolor overtime as it
becomes seasoned with use.
How to Insert the Griddle
[A CAUTlON l andremove
the griddle only when all grates and griddle
are cool and all surface units are turned OFF.
Thegriddle can only be usedwith the center
burner.To insert the griddle, remove center
grate and replacewith griddle.
NOTE:Do not cleanthe griddle in theself-
cleaningoven
Using the Griddle
[AWARNINGIFire.azard
The Pre-Heat setting (on some models) is provided to
quickly preheat your griddle. Turn control down before
placing food on the griddle. Cooking on the Pre-Heat
setting may result in fire.
Usecare when cooking greasy foods. Spilled grease may
result in fire.
Never place or store any items on the griddle, even when
it is not in use. Heat from surrounding burners can heat
the griddle and may result in fire.
Host griddled foods require cooking on a preheated surface.
Preheat griddle according to this guide, then switch to the
desired cook setting.
_G i Burner flames that are not
covered by cookware may present a risk of fire or clothing
ignition. The griddle burner should only be used with the
griddle in place. Failure to do so may result in serious injury.

performance of the oven. Foilcan melt and
permanently damage the oven bottom.
Damage from improper useof aluminum foil is
not covered by the product warranty.
Foilmay be used to catch spillsby placing a
sheet on a lower rack,several inches below
the food .Donot usemore foil than necessary
and never entirely cover an oven rack with
aluminum foil. Keepfoil at least !-!/2" from
oven walls to prevent poor heat circulation.
Oven Moisture
Asyour oven heats up,the temperature change
of the air in the oven may cause water droplets
to form on the door glass.These droplets
are harmlessand will evaporate as the oven
continues to heat up.
Ifyour model has a door latch, do not lock the oven door with the latch during broiling.
The latch is used for self-cleaning only.
Closethedoor: Always broil with
the door closed.
How to Set the Upper Oven for Broiling

[ACAUTION ] :o prevent burns, do not unplug the probe from the oven outlet until the oven has cooled. Do not
store the probe in the oven.
If your model has a door latch, do not lock the oven door with the latch while cooking with the probe. The latch is used
for self-cleaning only.
For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal food temperature is the best test for doneness. The temperature
probe takes the guesswork out of cooking foods to the exact doneness you 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.
Useof probes other than the one provided with
this product may result in damage to the probe.
Usethe handles of the probe and plug when
inserting and removing them from the food andoutlet.
Toavoid damaging your probe,do not use
tongs to pull on the cablewhen removing it.
Toavoid breaking the probe,make surefood
iscompletely defrosted before inserting.

Using the convection oven.(upper oven only) GEAppliances.com
The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened. DONOT leave the door open for long periods of time
while using convection cooking.
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 than
with regular heat.
Tohelp you understand the difference between
convection bake and roast and traditional bake
and roast, here are some general guidelines.
Convection Bake
Preheatthe oven.Seethe Usingthe Oven-
Preheatingand Pan Placementsection.
Ideal for foods cookedon multiple racks.
Good for large quantities of bakedfoods.
Good resultswith cookies,biscuits,brownies,
cupcakes,cream puffs,sweet rolls,angel food
cake and bread.
Theconvection fan circulates the heated
air evenlyover and around the food.
Convection Roast
Good for large tender cutsof meat,
uncovered.
Roastsor poultry should be cooked on rack
position (A).
When you are convection roasting,it is
important that you usea broiler pan and grid
for best convection roasting results.The pan is
usedto catch grease spillsand the grid isused
to prevent greasespatters.
Placethe rack in rackposition (A).
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.Heated air will be
circulated over,under and around the food
being roasted.Theheated air seals injuices
quickly for a moist and tender product while,
at the same time, creating a rich golden brown
exterior.

Using the convection oven.unperovenon?
Cookware for Convection Cooking
Before using your convection oven, check
to see ifyour cookware leaves room for air
circulation in the oven. Ifyou are baking with
several pans, leave space between them. Also,
be sure the pans do not touch each other or the
walls ofthe oven.
Paper and Plastic
Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers that
are recommended for use in regular ovens can
be used in convection ovens. Plastic cookware
that is heat-resistant to temperatures of 400°F
can also be used, when oven is below 400°F.
Metal and Glass
Anytype of cookware will work in your
convection oven. However, metal pans heat the
fastest and are recommended for convection
baking.
Darkenedor matte-finished pans will bake
fasterthan shiny pans.
Glassor ceramic pans cook more slowly.
When baking cookies,you will get the best
results ifyou usea flat cookie sheet instead of a
pan with low sides.
Forrecipes likeoven-baked chicken,use a pan
with low sides.Hot air cannot circulate well
around food in a pan with high sides.
