Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips Care and Cleaning Operating Instructions Safety Instructions
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,
remove the storage drawer or kick panel and look underneath
the range to see that the leveling leg is engaged in the bracket.
On models without a storage drawer or kick panel, 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.
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 1.800.561.3344 to receive one at no
cost. For installation instructions of the bracket, visit

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
oven door.
REMEMBER: The inside surface of the oven may be
hot when the door is opened.
■Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids
in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
■Keep the hood and grease filters clean
to maintain good venting and to avoid
grease fires.
■Teach children not to play with the controls
or any other part of the range.
■Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot
holders and other linens a safe distance
from your range.
■Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and
canned food a safe distance from your range.
■Always keep combustible wall coverings,
curtains or drapes a safe distance from
your range.
■Large scratches or impacts to glass doors can
lead to broken or shattered glass.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

4
Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips Care and Cleaning Operating Instructions Safety Instructions
■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 shiny,
silver-colored oven racks (on some models)
and all other cookware.
■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.
■Gray porcelain-coated oven racks may be
cleaned in the oven during the self-clean cycle.
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.
■Do not use aluminum foil to line oven
bottoms. Improper installation of aluminum
foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

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.
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 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 WARM setting (on some models)
in the right REAR surface unit keeps
already heated food warm until
ready to serve.

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.
On some models, the bake heating
element is under the oven floor. Do not
place foods on the oven bottom for
cooking.
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 number pads to set
the desired temperature.
Touch the START pad.
Check food for doneness at
minimum time on recipe. Cook
longer if necessary.
Touch the OFF pad when cooking is
complete.
Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.
Preheating is necessary 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 and the display will
show your set temperature.
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.
Type of Food Rack Position
Frozen pies (on cookie sheet) D
Angel food cake A
Bundt or pound cakes B or C
Biscuits, muffins, brownies, C or D
cookies, cupcakes,
layer cakes, pies
Casseroles C or D
Turkey A
Do not place foods directly on the oven floor.
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.
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to
catch a spillover by placing it on a lower
rack several inches below the food.

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.

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.
Adapting Recipes…
You can use your favorite recipes in
the convection oven.
When baking, reduce baking
temperature by 14°C (25°F), or use
the Convection Conversion feature.
No need to preheat when cooking
longer than 15 minutes.
■
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.
To help you understand the difference
between convection bake and roast and
traditional bake and roast, here are some
general guidelines.
Convection Bake
■ Ideal for 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
quickly for a moist and tender product
while, at the same time, creating a rich
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.
Using the convection oven.

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.
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
205°C (400°F). can also be used, when
oven is below 205°C (400°F).
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.
When baking cookies, you will get the
best results if you use a flat cookie sheet
instead of a pan with low sides.
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.
How to Set the Oven for Convection Baking or Roasting
OR
Multi-Rack Baking
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 quick
breads give very good results with
multi-rack baking.
When baking on 3 racks, place one
rack in the 2nd (B) position, one on the
4th (D) position and one rack in the 6th
(F) position.
When convection baking with only
1 rack, follow the rack positions
recommended in the Using the
oven section.
Touch the CONVECTION BAKE or
CONVECTION ROAST pad.
Touch the number pads to set the
desired oven temperature.
Touch the START pad.
To change the oven temperature, touch
the CONVECTION BAKE or CONVECTION
ROAST pad and then the number pads
to set the new temperature.
When the oven starts to heat, the
changing temperature, starting at 37.8°C
(100°F), will be displayed. When the
oven reaches the temperature you set,
3 beeps will sound.
Touch the
OFF pad when finished.
NOTE: You will hear a fan while cooking with

Adjust the oven thermostat—Do it yourself! www.GEAppliances.ca
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
Touch the BROIL and BAKE pads at
the same time for 3 seconds until
the display shows SF.
Touch the BAKE pad. A two digit
number shows in the display.
Touch BAKE again to alternate
between increasing and decreasing
the oven temperature.
The oven temperature can be
adjusted up to (+) 19°C (35ºF)
hotter or (-) 19°C (35ºF) cooler.
Touch the number pads the same
way you read them. For example, to
change the oven temperature 12°C
(15ºF), touch
1 and 5 .
When you have made the
adjustment, touch the START pad to
go back to the time of day display.
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.

The oven door must be closed and all controls set correctly for the cycle to work properly.
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 broiler pan, broiler grid, all
cookware and any aluminum foil from
the oven.
NOTE: 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.
