Do not use water on grease fires Never pick up a
flaming pan Turn the controls off Smother a flaming
pan on a surface unit by overing the pan completely
with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray Use
a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher
If there is a fire in the oven during baking, smother the
fire by closing the oven door and turning the oven off or
by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher
If there is a fire 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
IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, TAKE THE FOLLOWING
STEPS TO PREVENT THE FIRE FROM SPREADING:
Never leave the surface units unattended at medium or
high heat settings Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may catch on fire
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 size³select cookware having flat
bottoms large enough to cover the surface heating
element The use of undersized cookware will expose
a portion of the surface unit to direct contact and may
result in ignition of clothing Proper relationship of
cookware to surface unit will also improve efficiency
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, earthenware
or other glazed containers are suitable for cooktop
service; others may break because of the 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

Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips Care and Cleaning Operating Instructions Safety Instructions
Temperature Limiter
Every radiant surface unit has a
temperature limiter.
The temperature limiter protects the
glass cooktop from getting too hot.
Thetemperaturelimitermay cycle the
units fora time if:
The pan boils dry.
The pan bottom is not flat.
The pan is off center.
There is no pan on the unit.
NOTE: Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.
Never cook directly on the glass.
Always use cookware.
About the Radiant Surface Units
WARNING:
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.
The radiant cooktop features heating
units beneath a smooth glass surface.
Cooktop temperatures increase with
the number of surface units that are on.
With 3 or 4 units turned on, surface
temperatures are high. Always use
caution when touching the cooktop.
An indicator light will come on when
the surface unit is turned on.
The appropriate
HOT
surface indicator
light will glow when its corresponding
radiant element is turned on and will
remain on until the surface has cooled
below 65.5°C (150°F).
NOTE:
Hot surface indicator light will:
Come on when the surface unit is hot
to the touch.
Stay on even after the unit is turned off.
Glow brightly until the unit has cooled
below 65.5°C (150°F).
NOTE:
A slight odor is normal when a new
cooktop is used for the first time. It is caused by
the heating of new parts and insulating materials
and will disappear in a short time.
NOTE:
On models with light-colored glass
cooktops, it is normal for the cooking zones to
change color when hot or cooling down. This is
temporary and will disappear as the glass cools
to room temperature.
It is safe to place hot cookware from the
oven or surface on the glass cooktop
when the surface is cool.
Even after the surface units are turned
off, the glass cooktop retains enough
heat to continue cooking. To avoid
overcooking, remove pans from the
surface units when the food is cooked.
Avoid placing anything on the surface
unit until it has cooled completely.
Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable
using the cleaning cream or full strength white
vinegar.
Use of window cleaner may leave an iridescent
film on the cooktop. The cleaning cream will
remove this discoloration.
Don’t store heavy items above the cooktop.
If they drop onto the cooktop, they can cause
damage.
Do not use the surface as a cutting board.
SURFACE
COOKING
OFF CENTER
Always place the pan in the center of
the surface unit you are cooking on.
DRAGGING
Do not slide cookware across the
control or cooktop surface because
it can scratch the glass. The glass is
scratch-resistant, not scratchproof.

Selecting types of cookware. GEAppliances.ca
The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.
Stainless Steel:
recommended
Aluminum:
heavy weight recommended
Good conductivity. Aluminum residues
sometimes appear as scratches on the
cooktop, but can be removed if cleaned
immediately. Because of its low melting
point, thin-weight aluminum should not
be used.
Copper Bottom:
recommended
Copper may leave residues which can
appear as scratches. The residues can be
removed, as long as the cooktop is cleaned
immediately. However, do not let these pots
boil dry. Overheated metal can bond to glass
cooktops. An overheated copper bottom pot
will leave a residue that will permanently
stain the cooktop if not removed
immediately.
Porcelain Enamel-Covered Cast Iron:
recommended
As long as the cookware is covered
completely with porcelain enamel,
this cookware is recommended. Caution
is recommended for cast-iron cookware
that is not completely covered with
smooth porcelain enamel, as it may
scratch the glass-ceramic cooktop.
Glass-Ceramic:
usable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Stoneware:
usable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Home Canning Tips:
Be sure the canner is centered over
the surface unit.
Make sure the canner is flat on the bottom.
Use recipes and procedures from
reputable sources. These are available
from manufacturers such as Ball®and
Kerr®and the Department of Agriculture
Extension Service.
To prevent burns from steam or heat,
use caution when canning.
Check pans for at bottoms by using
a straight edge.
Pans with rounded, curved, ridged or
warped bottoms are not recommended.
Wok Cooking
We recommend that you use only a flat-
bottomed wok. They are available at your
local retail store.
Do not use woks that have support rings.
Use of these types of woks, with or without
the ring in place, can be dangerous.
Placing the ring over the surface unit will
cause a buildup of heat that will damage
the porcelain cooktop. Do not try to use
such woks without the ring. You could
be seriously burned if the wok tips over.
Use only at-bottomed woks.
Use medium- or heavy-weight cookware.
Aluminum cookware conducts heat faster
than other metals. Cast-iron and coated
cast-iron cookware are slow to absorb heat,
but generally cook evenly at low to medium
heat settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly
if not combined with other metals.
For best cooking results, pans should be
flat on the bottom. Match the size of the
saucepan to the size of the surface unit.
The pan should not extend over the edge
of the surface unit more than 1 inch.
Not over 1 inch

CAUTION:
Before you begin…
The oven has 5 rack positiones.
It also has a special low rack position (R)
for extra large items,such as a large
turkey.
The racks have stops, so that when placed
correctly on the supports, they will stop
before coming completely out, and will
not tilt.
When placing and removing cookware,
pull the rack out until it stops.
To remove a rack, pull it toward you,
tilt the front end up and pull it out.
To replace, place the end of the rack
(stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the
front and push the rack in.
a rack in the lowest position (A), you will need
to use caution when pulling the rack out. We
recommend that you pull the rack out several
inches and then, using two pot holders, pull the
rack out by holding the sides of it. The rack is low
and you could be burned if you place your hand
in the middle of the rack and pull all the way ou t.
Be very careful not to burn your hand on the do or
when using the rack in the lowest position (A).
When you are using
Baking results will be better if baking
pans are centered in the oven as much
as possible. If baking with more than one
pan, place the pans so each has at least
2.5 cm to 3.8 cm (1” to 11 ⁄2”) of air space
around it.
If baking four cake layers at the same time,
place two layers on rack B and two layers on
rack D. Stagger pans on the rack so one is
not directly above the other.
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to
catch a spillover by placing it on a lower
rack several inches below the food.
Aluminum Foil
Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom
of the oven.
Never entirely cover a rack with
aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat
circulation and result in poor baking.
Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.
Preheating is necesary for good results
when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and
breads.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct
temperature. The control will beep when
the oven is preheated an the display will
show your set temperature.

The oven has 5 rack positions.
It also has a special low rack position (R)

When Using the Warming Drawer
The warming drawer will keep hot,
cooked foods warm. Always start with hot
food. Do not use to heat cold food other
than crisping crackers, chips or dry
cereal.
Do not line the warming drawer or pan
with aluminum foil. Foil is an excellent heat

will upset the performance of the drawer
and could damage the interior finish.
Allow approximately 25 minutes for the
warming drawer to preheat.
Do not put liquid or water in the
warming drawer.
All foods placed in the warming
drawer should be covered with a lid or
aluminum foil. When warming pastries
or breads, the cover should be vented
to allow moisture to escape.
Food should be kept hot in its cooking
container or transferred to a heat-safe
serving dish.
CAUTION: Plastic containers or plastic wrap will
melt if in direct contact with the drawer, pan or a
hot utensil. Melted plastic may not be removable
and is not covered under your warranty.

Using the convection oven. (on some models) www.GEAppliances.ca
The convection oven 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.
To help you understand the difference
between convection bake and roast and
traditi onal bake and roast, here are some
general guidelines.
Convection Bake
Ideal foor evenly browned baked foods cooked
on multiple racks.
Good for large quantities of baked foods.
Good results with cookies, biscuits, brownies,
cupcakes, cream puffs, sweet rolls, angel food
cake and bread.
Heat comes from the heating element in
the rear of the oven. The convection fan
circulates the heated air evenly over and
around the food. Preheating is not
necessary with foods having a bake time
of over 15 minutes.
Convection Roast
Good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.
Heat comes from the top heating
element. 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
quicklyfor a moist and tender product
while,atthesametime,creatingarich
golden brown exterior.
When you are convection roasting, it is
important that you use a broiler pan and
grid designed for broiling for best
convection roasting results. The pan is
used to catch grease spills and the grid is
used to prevent grease spatters.
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.
Adapting Recipes…
Youcanuseyourfavoriterecipes
in the convection oven.
Use pan size recommended.
Some package instructions for frozen
casseroles or main dishes have been
developed using commercial convection
ovens. For best results in this oven,
preheat the oven and use the
temperature on the package.
Cookware for Convection Cooking
Before using your convection oven, check
to see if your cookware leaves room for air
circulation in the oven. If you 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.
Heat-resistant paper and plastic
containers that arerecommended
for use in regular ovens can be used in
convection ovens. Plastic cookware that
is heat-resistant to temperatures of
205°C (400°F) can also be used, when
oven is below 205°C (400°F).
Paper
flat
and Plastic
Metaland Glass
Any type of cookware will work in your
convection oven. However, metal pans
heat the fastestand are recommended
for convection baking.
Darkened on matte-finished pans will bake
faster than shiny pans.
Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.
When baking cookies, you will get the
best results if you use a cookie sheet
instead of a pan with low sides.
For recipes like oven-baked chicken,
use apanwith low sides.Hot air cannot
circulatewell around food in apanwith
high sides.

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.
When baking on 3 racks, place one
rack in the second (B) position, another rack
in the fourth (D) position and the third rack
in the sixth (F) 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 (on precise air convection models)
Multi-rack position.
When convection baking with only 1 rack,
place the food so that it is centered with
oven convection fan.

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 6–11 degrees Celsius (20–40 degrees Fahrenheit).
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.
To Adjust the Thermostat

Use your oven as you would normally.
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). If you 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.
Federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low fat spreads, on the other hand,
contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor of baked goods. For best
results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.
