ANTI-TIP DEVICE
• Atl ranges can tip.
• BURNS or other SERIOUS
INJURIES can result.
•INSTALL and CHECK the
ANTI-TIP bracket following
the instructions supplied
with the bracket.
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 isinstalled and engaged properly,
remove the storage drawer or kick panel and look
underneath the range to seethat the leveling leg isengaged
in the bracket. If the range is pulled from the wall for any
reason, always repeat this procedure to verify the range is
properly secured by the anti4ip bracket.
Ifyou did not receive an anti-tip bracket with your purchase,
call !.800.626.8774 to receive one at no
cost (in Canada, call 1.800.561.3344).Forinstallation
instructions of the bracket, visit GEAppliances.com

IMPORTANT SAFETYNOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic EnforcementAct requires the Governor of California
to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause birth defects or other reproductive
harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
Gasappliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon
monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural
gas or LPfuels. Properlyadjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, wilt
minimize incomplete combustion. Exposureto these substances can be minimized by venting
with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off a very small amount of carbon monoxide
during the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using
a ventilation fan or hood.

distribution panel by removing the fuse or
switching off the circuit breaker.
!_dHave the installer show you the location of
the circuit breaker or fuse. Hark itfor easy
reference.
_i_Do not leave children alone-children should
not be left alone or unattended in an area
where an appliance isin use.They should
never be allowed to sit or stand on any part
of the appliance.

_i!_,_Have your range installed end properly
grounded by a qualified installer,in
accordance with the installation Instructions.
Any adjustment and service should be
performed only by qualified gas range
installers or service technicians.
!_i_Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path
and out of drafty locations to prevent poor
air circulation,
Be sure all packaging materiaEsare removed
from the range before operating it to prevent
fire or smoke damage should the packaging
material ignite.
:i_Do not leave children alone or unattended
where a range is hot or in operation. They
could be seriously burned.
Donot attempt to repair or replace any part
of your range unless it isspecifically
recommended in this manual. All other
service should be referred to a qualified
technician.
Be sure your range iscorrectly adjusted by a

the type of gas (natural or LP}that isto be
used. Your range can be converted for use
with either type of gas. Seethe Installation
Instructions packed with the range.
:..*_Plugyour range into a 120-volt grounded
outlet only. Do not remove the round
grounding prong from the plug. If in doubt
about the grounding of the home electrical
system, it isyour personal responsibility and
obIigation to have an ungrounded outlet
replaced with a properly grounded, three-
prong outlet in accordance with the National
ElectricalCode. Do not usean extension cord
with this appliance.
WARNING:Theseadjustments
must be mode by o qualified service
technician in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions and all codes
and requirements of the authority having

PRECAUTIONS
Always keepwooden 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.
Do not cleon the range with flammable or
volatile cleaning fluids.
After prolonged use of a range, high floor
temperatures may result and many floor
coverings will not withstand this kind of use.
Never install the range over vinyl tile or
linoleum that cannot withstand such type of
use. Never install it directly over interior
kitchen carpeting.
_¢Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang
on the oven door, storage drawer or
cooktop. They could damage the range and
even tip it over, causing severe personal
injury.
,& CAUTION: Items of interest to
children should not be stored in cabinets
above a range or on the backsplush of a
range-children climbing on the range to
reach items could be seriously injured.
_4,WARNING: NEWRosethis
appliance as a space heater to heat or
warm the room. Doing so may result
in carbon monoxide poisoning and
overheating of the cooktop or oven.
@For your safety, never use your appliance for
warming or heating the room.
_'_}Large scratches or impacts to gloss doors
con lead to broken or shattered glass.
;:_'_Do not clean the range when the appliance is
in use.
_-'_:'_Never wear loose-fitting or hanging
garments while usingthe appliance. Be
carefut when reaching for items stored in
cabinets over the range. Flammable material
could be ignited if brought in contact with
flame or hot oven surfaces and may cause
severe burns.
_: Do not store flammable materials in an
oven, a range storage drawer or near a
cooktop.
@Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
Do not let cooking grease or other
flammabIe materials accumulate in or near
the range.
Do not usewater on grease fires. Never pick
up a flaming pan. Turnthe controls off.
Smother a flaming pan on a surface burner
by covering the pan completely with a well-
fitting lid,cookie sheet or flat tray. Usea
multi-purpose dry chemical or foam4ype
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 control to off or by using a multi-
purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.
_!;_Let the burner grates and other surfaces
cool before touching them or leaving them
where children can reach them.
_ Never block the vents (airopenings) of the
range. They provide the air inlet and outlet
that are necessary for the range to operate
properly with correct combustion. Air
openings are located through the rear and
front center of the cooktop, at the top and
bottom of the oven door,and at the bottom
of the range under the storage drawer or
kick panel.
¢_:;_Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop
can lead to damage and improper operation
of the range.

Oven Vent
Your oven isvented through the rear vent
located through the cooktop under the
vent grille. Do not block this vent when
cooking in the oven-it isimportant that
the flow of hot air from the oven and fresh
air to the oven burner be uninterrupted.
Avoid touching the vent openings or
nearby surfaces during oven or broiler
operation--they may become hot.
_ Handles of pots end pans on the
cooktop may become hot if left too close
to the vent.
Do not leave plastic items on the
cooktop-they may melt if left too close
to the vent.
Do not leave any items on the cooktop.
The hot air from the vent may ignite
flammable items and will increase
pressure in closed containers, which may
cause them to burst.
Metal items will become very hot if they
are left on the cooktop, and couid cause
burns.

Host recipesfor baking have been developed using high-fat products such as butter or margarine {80%fat). if
you decrease the fat, the recipe may not givethe same results aswith a higher-fat product.
Recipefailure 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 lessfat 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 teast 70%
vegetable oil. 19
