SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
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.
■Never leave the surface units unattended at
high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
■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 flame foods on the cooktop. If you do
flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
■Use care when touching the cooktop.
The glass surface of the cooktop will retain
heat after the controls have been turned off.
■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.
■Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The
cooktop can be scratched with items such
as sharp instruments, rings or other jewelry,
and rivets on clothing.
■Large scratches or impacts to glass doors or
cooktops can lead to broken or shattered glass.
■Do not operate the radiant surface units if the
glass is broken. Spillovers or cleaning solution
may penetrate a broken cooktop and create a
risk of electrical shock. Contact a qualified
technician immediately should your glass
cooktop become broken.
■Never use the glass cooktop surface as a
cutting board.
■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.
■Do not place or store items that can melt or
catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when it
is not being used, or during the self-clean cycle.
■Be careful when placing spoons or other
stirring utensils on glass cooktop surface when
it is in use. They may become hot and could
cause burns.
■Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot
surface unit, be careful to avoid steam burns.
Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface.
NOTE: We recommend that you avoid wiping any
surface unit areas until they have cooled and the
indicator light has gone off. Sugar spills are the
exception to this. Please see the Cleaning the glass
cooktop section.
■When the cooktop is cool, use only the
Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner and the Ceramic
Cooktop Cleaning Pad to clean the cooktop.
■To avoid possible damage to the cooking
surface, do not apply cleaning cream to
the glass surface when it is hot.
■After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper towel
to remove all cleaning cream residue.
■Read and follow all instructions and warnings
on the cleaning cream labels.
■Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic
may melt onto the surface and be very difficult
to remove.

About the radiant surface units.
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
turned on.
■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.

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.

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).

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.
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.

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
60°C (140°F) means some food
poisoning organisms may survive.”
(Source: Safe Food Book. Your Kitchen

If your range is connected to 208 volts,
rare steaks may be broiled by preheating
the broiler and positioning the oven rack

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.

Using the convection oven. 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.
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 the broiler pan
and grid. 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.

Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Care and Cleaning Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support

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.
