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.
For Freestanding and Slide-In
Ranges
To check if the bracket is installed
and engaged properly, look underneath the range to see that the rear
leveling leg is engaged in the bracket. On some models, the storage drawer
or kick panel can be removed for easy inspection. If visual inspection is not
possible, slide the range forward, confirm the anti-tip bracket is securely
attached to the floor or wall, and slide the range back so the rear leveling
leg is under the anti-tip bracket.
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.
For Drop-In Ranges
To check if the bracket is installed and engaged properly, slide the range
forward, confirm the anti-tip bracket is securely attached to the rear of the
range, and slide the range back so that the anti-tip bracket slides just under
the countertop or wood block attached to the rear wall.
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

[A WARNING i 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.

Always place the pan in the center of
the surface unit you are cooking on.
For Models With a Radiant Glass Cooktop
The radiant cooktop features heating units
beneath a smooth glass surface.
NOTE:A slight odor is normal when a new _
cooktop isusedfor the first time. It iscaused
bythe heating of new parts and insulating
materials and will disappear in a short time.
NOTE:On models with light-colored glass
cooktops,it isnormal for the cooking zonesto
change color when hot or cooling down. This is
temporary and will disappear as the glass cools
to room temperature.
Thesurface unit will cycle on and off to
maintain your selectedcontrol setting.
It issafe to place hot cookware on the glass
surface evenwhen the cooktop iscool.
Evenafter the surface units are turned off,the
glasscooktop retains enough heat to continue
cooking.Toavoid overcooking, remove pans
from the surface units when the food iscooked.
Avoid placing anything on the surface unit until
it has cooled completely.
Do not slide cookware across the cooktop because
it can scratch theglass-the glassis scratch-resistant,
not scratchproof
,, Water stains (mineraldeposits)are
removable using the cleaning cream or full-
strength white vinegar.
,, Useofwindow cleaner may leavean
iridescent film on the cooktop. The cleaning
cream will remove this discoloration.
Don'tstore heavy items abovethe cooktop. If
they drop onto the cooktop, they can cause
damage.
Donot usethe surface asa cutting board.
Temperature Limiter on Radiant Glass
Everyradiant surface unit hasa temperature
limiter.
Thetemperature limiter protects the glass
cooktop from getting too hot.

Thetemperature limiter may cyclethe units off
for a time if:
the pan boils dry.
the pan bottom isnot flat.
the pan isoff-center.
there isno pan on the unit.

Selecting types of cookware for radiant glass cooktop models.
The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.
Stainless Steel:
recommended
Check pans for flat bottoms by
using o straight edge.
Aluminum:
heavy weight recommended
Good conductivity. Aluminum residues
sometimes appear asscratches on the cooktop
but can be removed ifcleaned immediately.
Becauseof its low melting point, thin weight
aluminum should not be used.
Copper Bottom:
recommended
Copper may leaveresidueswhich can appear
as scratches.The residuescan be removed,as
long asthe 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 iscoated
Porcelain Enamel on Steel:
not recommended
Heating empty pans can cause permanent
damage to cooktop glass.Theenamel 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 designedspecifically
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:Followall cookware manufacturer's recommendations when usingany type of cookware on
the ceramic cooktop.
Do not place wet pans
Do not use woks with SUppo[t
Use flat-bottomed woks
Onthe glass cooktop.
For Best Results
i Placeonly dry pans on the surface
elements. Do not place lids on the surface
elements, particularly wet lids.
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.

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 recipemay not givethe same results aswith a higher-fat product.
Recipefailure can result if cakes,pies,pastries,cookies or candies are made with low-fat spreads.Thelower the fat content of a
spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
Federalstandardsrequireproductslabeled"margarine"to contain at least80%fat byweight.Low-fat spreads,onthe other hand,contain
lessfat and morewater.Thehigh moisturecontentofthese spreadsaffectsthetexture andflavor of bakedgoods.Forbestresultswith

How to Set the Oven for Broiling
UseLo Broil to cook foods such as poultry
or thick cuts of meat thoroughly without
overbrowning them.
[Z] Placethe food on a broiler grid in a broiler
pan designedfor broiling.
[] Followsuggested rack positions in the
Broiling Guide.
[] Touch the Broil Hi/Lo pad once for Hi
Broil.
Tochange to Lo Broil, touch the Broil Hi/
Lo pad again.
[] Touch the Star pad.
[] When broiling isfinished,touch the Clear/
Off pad.
Leave the door open to the broil
stop position. The door stays open
by itself, yet the proper temperature
is maintained in the oven.
The size,weight, thickness,
starting temperature
and your preference
of doneness will affect
broiling times. This guide
is based on meats at
refrigerator temperature.
The U.S, Department of
Agriculture says "Rare beef is
popular: but you should know
that cooking it to only ] 4O°F
means some food poisoning
organisms may survive." (Source:
Safe Food Book. Your Kitchen
Guide. USDA Rev. June 2985.)

cooked (]nd browned - often inless
time th(]n with regular he(]t.
Convection Baking
Ideal for evenly browned baked foods
cooked on multiple shelves.
.Good for large quantities of baked foods.
.Good results with cookies, biscuits,
brownies, cupcakes, cream puffs, sweet
rolls, angel food cake and bread. The
convection fan circulates the heated air
evenly over and around the food.
The Convection Fun
The convection fan is programmed to run
intermittently for maximum performance
during convection bake and during
preheating. If the fan ison when the oven
door isopened, the fun will stop. The fan will
resume operation when the door isclosed.
Auto Temp Conversion
When convection baking, the Auto
Temp Conversion feature automatically
reduces the set temperature for optimal
performance.
Increase the Convection Baking temperature
setting 20°F higher for faster cooking of
large cuts of meat and poultry.

selected temperature, the oven control
will beep several times and the display
will show the oven temperature.
Check food for doneness at the
m_n_mumtime on the recipe. Cook
longer if necessary.
Touch the Clear/Off pad when baking is
finished, and then remove the food from
the oven.
Tochange the oven temperature during
Convection Bake, touch the Convection Bake
pad and then the + or- pads to set the new

When b(]king cookies, you will get
the best results if you use (] fl(]t
cookie sheet inste(]d of (] punwith
low sides.
Cookwure 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 of the oven.
Paper and Plastic
Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers
that are recommended for
use in regular baking can also be used
for convection baking but should not be
used at temperatures higher than the
temperature recommended by the cookware
manufacturer. Plastic cookware that is heat-
resistant to temperatures of 400°F can also
be used.
Metal and Glass
Any type 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.
.Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.
For recipes like oven-baked chicken,
use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot
circulate well around food in a pan with high
sides.
