SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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.
■Do not place or store items that can melt or
catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when it
is not being used.
■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.

Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Care and Cleaning Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support
Temperature Limiter
Every radiant surface unit has a
temperature limiter.
The temperature limiter protects the
glass cooktop from getting too hot.
The temperature limiter may cycle the
units off for a time if:
■The pan boils dry.
■The pan bottom is not flat.
■The pan is off center.
■There is no pan on the unit.
About the radiant surface units. www.GEAppliances.ca
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
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.

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 a broiler
grid in a 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 a
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 a
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.

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 broiling 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.
To Adjust the Thermostat
Touch the BAKE and BROIL pads at
the same time for 2 seconds until the
display shows SF.
Touch the BAKE pad. A two-digit
number shows in the display.
The oven temperature can be
adjusted up to (+) 19°C / 35°F
hotter or (–) 19°C / 35°F cooler.
Touch the +pad to increase the
temperature in 1-degree increments.
Touch the –pad to decrease the
temperature in 1-degree increments.
When you have made the
adjustment, touch the START/ON pad
to go back to the time of day display.
Use your oven as you would
normally.
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect broiling
temperatures. It will be retained in memory after
a power failure.

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 above 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.

How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape
Carefully grasp a corner of the protective
shipping film with your fingers and slowly
peel it from the appliance surface. Do not
use any sharp items to remove the film.
Remove all of the film before using the
appliance for the first time.
To assure no damage is done to the finish
of the product, the safest way to remove
the adhesive from packaging tape on new
appliances is an application of a household
liquid dishwashing detergent. Apply with
a soft cloth and allow to soak.
NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all
parts. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.
Control Knobs
The control knobs may be removed for easier
cleaning.
Make sure the knobs are in the OFF
positions and pull them straight off the
stems for cleaning.
The knobs can be cleaned in a
dishwasher or they may also be washed
with soap and water. Make sure the insides
of the knobs are dry before replacing.
Replace the knobs in the OFF position
to ensure proper placement.
Oven Heating Elements
Do not clean the bake element or the broil
element. Any soil will burn off when the
elements are heated.
To clean the oven floor, gently lift
the bake element. Clean with warm
soapy water.

The gasket is designed with a gap at the
bottom to allow for proper air circulation.
Do not rub or clean the door gasket—
it has an extremely low resistance to
abrasion.
If you notice the gasket becoming worn,
frayed or damaged in any way or if it
has become displaced on the door,
you should have it replaced.
Cleaning the Oven Door
To clean the inside of the door:
■ Soap and water will normally do the
job. Heavy spattering or spillovers may
require cleaning with a mild abrasive
cleaner. Soap-filled scouring pads may
also be used.
Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid
content (such as tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices
or pie filling) to remain on the surface. They may
cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner. Follow
the package directions.
■ Clean the inside of the oven window
with a mild non-scratching cleaner and
a damp cloth.
To clean the outside of the door:
■ Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the
top, sides and front of the oven door. Rinse
well. You may also use a glass cleaner to clean
the glass on the outside of the door. Do not let
water drip into the vent openings.
■ If any stain on the door vent trim is persistent,
use a soft abrasive cleaner and a sponge-
scrubber for best results.
■ Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato
sauces and basting materials containing acids
may cause discoloration and should be wiped
up immediately. When surface is cool, clean
and rinse.
■ Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning powders or
harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.

Porcelain Oven Interior
With proper care, the porcelain enamel
finish on the inside of the oven—top,
bottom, sides, back and inside of the
door—will stay new-looking for years.
Let the oven cool before cleaning. We
recommend that you wear rubber gloves
when cleaning the oven.
Soap and water will normally do the
job. Heavy spattering or spillovers may
require cleaning with a mild abrasive
cleaner. Soap-filled scouring pads
may also be used.
Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid
content (such as tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices
or pie filling) to remain on the surface. They may
cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
Household ammonia may make the
cleaning job easier. Place 1/2 cup in
a shallow glass or pottery container in
a cold oven overnight. The ammonia
fumes will help loosen the burned-on
grease and food.
If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner.
Follow the package directions.
■Do not spray oven cleaner on the electrical
controls and switches because it could cause a
short circuit and result in sparking or fire.
■Do not allow a film from the cleaner to build up
on the temperature sensor—it could cause the
oven to heat improperly. (The sensor is located
at the top of the oven.) Carefully wipe the
sensor clean after each oven cleaning, being
careful not to move the sensor as a change in
its position could affect how the oven bakes.
■Do not spray any oven cleaner on the oven
door, handles or any exterior surface of the
oven, cabinets or painted surfaces. The cleaner
can damage these surfaces.
