Do not operate the oven or cooktop controls if the glass is broken. Food splatter or cleaning solution
may penetrate a broken control panel and create a risk of electrical shock. Contact a qualified
technician immediately should your glass control panel become broken.
■Do not store flammable materials in an oven
or near the cooktop.
■CAUTION: Items of interest to children
should not be stored in cabinets above a range or on
the back of a range—children climbing on the range
to reach items could be seriously injured.
■Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments
while using the appliance. Be careful when
reaching for items stored over the range.
Flammable material could be ignited if
brought in contact with hot surface units or
heating elements and may cause severe burns.
■Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp
pot holders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not let pot holders
touch hot surface units or heating elements.
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in
place of pot holders.
■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 covering the pan completely with
a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.
Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or
foam-type fire extinguisher.
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put
out by covering it with baking soda or, if
available, by using a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
Flame in the oven can be smothered
completely by closing the oven door and
turning the oven off or by using a multi-
purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.
■For your safety, never use your appliance
for warming or heating the room.
■Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the range.
■Do not touch the surface units, the heating
elements or the interior surface of the oven.
These surfaces may be hot enough to burn
even though they are dark in color. During and
after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other
flammable materials contact the surface units,
areas nearby the surface units or any interior
area of the oven; allow sufficient time for
cooling first.
Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop,
areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening,
surfaces near the opening, crevices around the

Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips Care and Cleaning Operating Instructions Safety Instructions
WARNING!
■Never leave the surface units unattended
at high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
■Do not use aluminum foil to line the drip pans
or anywhere in the oven except as described in
this manual. Misuse could result in a shock, fire
hazard or damage to the range.
■Be sure the drip pans and the vent duct are not
covered and are in place. Their absence during
cooking could damage range parts and wiring.
■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.
■Always turn the surface units off before
removing cookware.
■Do not immerse or soak the removable surface
units. Do not put them in a dishwasher. Do not
self-clean the surface units in the oven.
■Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you do
flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
■To avoid the possibility of a burn or electric
shock, always be certain that the controls for all
surface units are at the OFF position and all coils
are cool before attempting to lift or remove
a unit.
■Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge
is used to wipe spills on a hot cooktop, be
careful to avoid steam burns.
■Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or
medium high heat settings.
■Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.
Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh
foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over
the sides of the pan.
■Use little fat for effective shallow or deep fat
frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause
spillovers when food is added.
■If a combination of oils or fats will be used in
frying, stir together before heating, or as fats
melt slowly.
■Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
■Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible
to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking
point.
■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.
Use proper pan size—select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit 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.

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
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. Residue from oven cleaners will damage the inside
of the oven when the self-clean cycle is used.
■CAUTION: DO NOT LEAVE FOOD OR
COOKING UTENSILS, ETC. IN THE OVEN OR ON
THE COOKTOP DURING SELF-CLEANING MODE
OF OPERATION.
■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.
■Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the
broiler pan, grid and other cookware.
■Gray porcelain-coated oven racks (on some
models) may be cleaned in the oven during the
self-clean cycle.
■Shiny, silver-colored oven racks (on some
models) should be removed from the oven
before beginning the self-clean cycle.
■Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before
starting the self-cleaning operation.
■If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn
the oven off and disconnect the power supply.
Have it serviced by a qualified technician.
■Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s Manual.
■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.
SELF-CLEANING OVEN
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.
■Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
■Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
■Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
■Place the oven rack in the desired position
while the oven is cool. If racks must be handled
when hot, do not let pot holder contact the
heating elements.
■When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.
■Pulling out the rack to the stop-lock is a
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also
a precaution against burns from touching
hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.
■Do not use the oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch on fire.
■Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items
stored in an oven can ignite.
■Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils
or food in the oven when not in use.

Surface Cookware Tips
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
2.5 cm (1″).
Not over 1 inch.
1″
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.
Use only flat-bottomed woks.
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.
Placing the ring over the surface unit will
cause a buildup of heat that will damage
the porcelain cooktop.
Do not use round bottom woks. You
could be seriously burned if the wok
tipped over.

The oven has 6 rack positions.
Using the oven.
To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
Before you begin…
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.
CAUTION: When you are using 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 out. Be
very careful not to burn your hand on the door
when using the rack in the lowest position (A).
How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting
Touch the BAKE pad.
Touch the +or –pads until the

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.
Center baking pans in the oven.

If your range is connected to 208 volts,
rare steaks may be broiled by preheating
the broiler and positioning the oven rack
one position higher.
www.GEAppliances.ca
How to Set the Oven for Broiling
Leave the door open to the broil stop position.
The door stays open by itself, yet the proper
temperature is maintained in the oven.
Place the meat or fish on the broiler
grid in the broiler pan.
Follow suggested rack positions in
the Broiling Guide.
Touch the BROIL pad once for
HI Broil.
To change to LO Broil, touch the
BROIL pad again.
Use LO Broil to cook foods such as
poultry or thick cuts of meat thoroughly
without over-browning them.
Touch the START pad.
When broiling is finished, touch the
OFF pad.
Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.
Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminum foil to line the
broiler pan and broiler grid. However,
you must mold the foil tightly to the grid
and cut slits in it just like the grid.
Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat
and meat juices from draining into the
broiler pan. The juices could become hot
enough to catch on fire. If you do not cut
the slits, you are essentially frying, not broiling.
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.
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to
catch a spillover by placing it on a lower
rack several inches below the food.
Do not latch the oven door during broiling. The latch is used for self-cleaning only.

Adjust the oven thermostat—Do it yourself!
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 not affect the broiling or the 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). 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.

Using the self-cleaning oven.
Before a Clean Cycle
We recommend venting your kitchen
with an open window or using a
ventilation fan or hood during the
first self-clean cycle.
Remove the racks, broiler pan, broiler
grid, all cookware and any aluminum foil
from the oven.
NOTES:
■ If your oven is equipped with shiny,
silver-colored oven racks, remove them
before you begin the self-clean cycle.
■ 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 Scrub® . Rinse
well with clean water and dry.
Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass
material of the oven door gasket cannot
withstand abrasion. It is essential for the
gasket to remain intact. If you notice it
becoming worn or frayed, replace it.
Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the oven
bottom.
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. Move birds to another well-
ventilated room.
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven
bottom.
How to Set the Oven for Cleaning
Follow the directions in the Before a
Clean Cycle section.
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.
Latch the door.
NOTE: Never force the latch. If the oven is
too hot, you will not be able to slide the
latch. Allow the oven to cool.
Touch the CLEAN pad.
Touch the +or –pads until the
desired Clean Time is displayed.
The Clean Time is normally 4 hours. You can
change the Clean Time to any time between 3
and 5 hours, depending on the amount of soil in
your oven.
Touch the START/ON pad.
The self-clean cycle will automatically
begin after CLEAN is displayed and the
time countdown appears in the display.
While the oven is self-cleaning, you can
touch the CLOCK pad to display the time
of day. To return to the clean countdown,
touch the CLEAN pad.
The oven shuts off automatically when
the clean cycle is complete, and 0:00 will
flash in the display.
Slide the latch handle to the left as
far as it will go and open the door.
It will not be possible to unlatch the oven
door until the temperature drops below
the lock temperature and the LOCKED
door light goes off.
When the LOCKED door light is off,
unlatch the door.
Never force the latch handle. Forcing the handle will damage the door lock mechanism.

How to Delay the Start of Cleaning
Make sure the clock shows the correct
time of day.
Latch the door.
Touch the CLEAN pad.
Using the +or –pads, enter the
desired clean time.
The Clean Time is normally 4 hours. You can
change the Clean Time to any time between 3

LOCKED door light goes off.
When the LOCKED door light is off,
unlatch the door.
After a Clean Cycle
You may notice some white ash in the
oven. Wipe it up with a damp cloth after
the oven cools.
If white spots remain, remove them with a soap-
filled scouring pad and rinse thoroughly with
a vinegar and water mixture.
These deposits are usually a salt
residue that cannot be removed by
the clean cycle.
If the oven is not clean after one clean
cycle, repeat the cycle.
■You cannot set the oven for cooking
until the oven is cool enough for the
door to be unlatched.
■ While the oven is self-cleaning, you
can press the CLOCK pad to display
the time of day. To return to the clean
countdown, press the COOK TIME pad.
■Apply a small amount of vegetable oil
to a paper towel and wipe the edges of
the oven racks with the paper towel.
Do not spray with Pam® or other
lubricant sprays.
To Stop a Clean Cycle
Touch the OFF pad.
Wait until the oven has cooled below the
locking temperature to unlatch the door.
You will not be able to open the door
right away unless the oven has cooled
below the locking temperature.

Care and cleaning of the range.
Be sure all controls are off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.
If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the anti-tip
device is re-engaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to take this
precaution could result in tipping of the range and cause injury.
Oven Vent
The oven vent is located under the right rear
surface unit.
This area could become hot during
oven use.
It is normal for steam to come out of
the vent.
The vent is important for proper air circulation.
Never block this vent.
Control Panel
It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel
after each use of the oven. Use a damp
cloth to clean or rinse. For cleaning, use
mild soap and water or a 50/50 solution
of vinegar and water. For rinsing, use
clean water. Polish dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong
liquid cleaners, plastic scouring pads or
oven cleaners on the control panel—
they will damage the finish.
Porcelain Enamel Cooktop
The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but
breakable if misused. This finish is acid-
resistant. However, any acidic foods
spilled (such as fruit juices, tomato or
vinegar) should not be permitted to
remain on the finish.
If acids spill on the cooktop while it is
hot, use a dry paper towel or cloth to
wipe it up right away. When the surface
has cooled, wash with soap and water.
Rinse well.
For other spills such as fat spatterings,
wash with soap and water or cleansing
powders after the surface has cooled.
Rinse well. Polish with a dry cloth.
