ANti- tip DEVICE
• All ranges can tip.
• BURNS or other SERIOUS
INJURIES can result.
• INSTALL and CHECK the
ANTI-TIP bracket following
the instructions supplied
with the bracket.
Toreduce 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.
Tocheck ff 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.
ff 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.
Kyou did not receive an anti-tip bracket with your
purchase, call 1.800.626.8774 to receive one at no
cost (in Canada, call 1.800.561.3344). For installation
instructions of the bracket, x,isit GEAppliances.com
(in Canada, GEAppliances.ca).
IMPORTANTSAFETYNOtiCE
TheCalifornia Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement Act requires the Governor of Cafifornia 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.
Gas appliances 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
LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize
incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
Thefiberglass 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.

and may cause severe burns.
iii::vDo not store flammable mate.rials in an
oven, a range storage drawer or near a
cooktop.
iii::_Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the x_icinityof this or any other
appliance.
iii::vDo not let cooking grease or other
flammable mamrials accumulate in or
near the range.
iii::vDo not use water on grease fires. Never
pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls
oK Smother a flaming pan on a surface
burner by covering the pan completely
_dth a welMitting lid, cookie sheet or flat
tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or
tbam-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 control to off or by using a
multi-purpose dry chemical or fi)am-type
fire exting-uisher.
iii::_Let the burner grates and other surfhces
cool before touching them or lem,ing
them where children can reach them.
iii::vNever block the vents (air openings) of
the range. They prtMde the air inlet and
outlet that are necessa_Lyfor the range to
operate properly _ith correct combustion.
Air openings are locamd through the rear
and flont 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.
iii::vDo not lift the cooktop. Lifting the

Always use the UTE position when igniting
the top burners and make sure the burners
have ignited,
Never leave the surface burners unattended
at high flame settings. Boflovers cause
smoking and greasy spfllovers that may
catch on fire.
Adjust the top burner flame size so it does
not extend beyond the edge of the cookware.
Excessive flame is hazardous.
Use only dUpot holders--moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces m W result in bums
flom steam. Do not let pot holders come
near ()pen flames when lifting cookware. Do
not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place
of a pot holder.
"i_len using glass cookware, make sure it
is desi_md fbr top-of range cooking.
To minimize the possibility of bums, ignition
of flammable materials and spillage, mm
cookware handles toward the side or back of
the range _dthout extending over adjacent
burners.
Carefiflly watch fbods being flied at a high
flame setting.
Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The
hot air flom the vent may ignite flammable
items and will increase pressure in closed
containers, which may cause them to burst.
If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in f@ng, stir together before heating or
as fats melt slo_s@
Use a deep fat thel_nometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
Do not operate the burner _dthout all burner
parts in place.
Use the least possible amount of tat ff)r
effbctive shallow or deep-tat fiying. Filling
the pan too till of fat can cause spfllovers
when fbod is added.
_]len preparing flaming ff)ods under the
hood, turn the fan on.
Do not use a wok on the cooking surface
if the wok has a round metal ring that is
placed over the burner _ate to support the
wok. This ring acts as a heat trap, which may
damage the burner _ate and burner head.
Also, it may cause the burner to work
improperly. This may cause a carbon
monoxide level above that allowed by cunent
standards, resulting in a health hazard.
Foods fbr fi}_ng should be as dUas possible.
Frost on flozen fbods or moisture on flesh
fbods can cause hot tat to bubble up and over
the sides of the pan.
Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially
a deep fat fiyen Wait until the fat is cool.
Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop--
they may melt if left too close to the vent.
Keep all plastics ms'ayflom the surface
bum ers.
To avoid the possibility of a burn, al_sws be
certain that the controls fbr all burners are
at the OFFposition and all _ates are cool
beibre attempting to remove them.
K range is located near a ,_dndow, do not
hang long curtains that could blow over the
surface burners and create a fire hazard.
Kyou smell gas, turn off the gas to the range
and call a qualified sen,ice technician. Never
use an ()pen flame to locate a leak.
Always turn the surface burner controls off
befbre removing cookware.

Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, cruising an injm T.
: Keep the oven vents unobstructed.
: Keep the oven flee flom grease btfildup.
: Place the oven rock in the desired position
while the oven is cool. If rocks must be handled
when hot, do not let pot holder contact the
heating elements.
: Bq_en using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufi_cmrer's directions.
: Pulling out the rock to the stopqock is a
com.'enience in lifking hem.), ff)ods. It is also a

or food in the oven when not in use.
WARNING:Na' Rco,,er
any dots, holes or passages in the oven bottom
or cover an entire rock with materials such as
aluminum fbil. Doing so blocks air flow
through the oven and may cause carbon
monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings
may also trap heat, cruising a fire hazard.
: Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms.
Improper installation of aluminum fbil may
result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
: Make sure a broiler pan is in place correcdy
to reduce the possibility of grease fires.

Sealed Gas Burners
The smaller burner (fight rear position)
will give the best simmer results for
delicate foods, such _L_sauces or foods
which need to cook (wer low heat for a
long time. It can be turned down to a veiy

Top-of-Range Cookware
Aluminum: Medimn-weight cookware is
recomnlended because it heats quicldy
and evenly: Most foods brown evenly in
an ahmlinum skillet. Use saucepans with
fight-fitting lids when cooldng wifll

Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets
will give safisfimtory results.
Enamelware: Under some conditions,
the enamel of some cookware may
melt. Follow cookware manuf_tcturer's
recommendations for cooking methods.
Glass: There are two types of glass
cookware--those f}.)roven tlse olll} _
and those for top-of:range cooMng
(saucepans, coff>e and teapots).
(;lass conducts heat re, T slow[>
Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used
K_i eidler surfitce or oven cooking. It
conducts heat vei T slowly and cools ve_T
slowly. Check cookware manufi_cmrer's
directions to be sure it can be used on gas
ranges.
Stainless Steel: This metal alone has
poor heating properties and is usually
combined with coppei; ahmlinunl
or other metals for improved heat
disuibudon. Combination metal skillets
usuMly work sadsfimtorily if they are used
with medium heat as the manufimmrer
recommends.
Stove Top Gri//s
Do not use stove top g_ills on your sealed
gas burners. If you use the stove top g_Jll
on the sealed g_ksburnei; it will cause

Only a fiat-bottomed wok should be used.
Do not/lse a rotlnd-bottoliled wok on a
