ANti- TIPDEVICE
• All ranges can tip.
•BURNS or other SERIOUS
INJURIES can result.
• INSTALLand CHECKthe
ANTI-TIP bracket following
the instructions supplied
with the bracket.
Toreduce the risk of tipping the range, the range must be
secured by aproperly 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.
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.
Kyou did not receive an and-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

IMPORTANTSAFETYNOtiCE
TheCalifornia Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement Act requires the Governor of Cafifomia 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.

iii::vDo not use wamr on grease fires. Never
pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls
o_, Smod_er a flaming pan on a surface
burner by covering the pan completely
_ith a well4itting 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

Always use the Life posidon when iofidng
the top bm_ners and make sm_e the bm_mrs

Never leave the surface btm_ers unattended
at high flame settings. Boik)vers cause
smoking and _easy spillovers 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 surtaces may result in bums
flom steam. Do not let pot holders come
near open flames when liNng cookware. Do
not use a towel or other bulky clod1 in place
of a pot holder.
_%en using glass cook, s-are, make sure it
is designed fbr top-of:range cooking.
To minimize the possibility of bums, i_fition
of flammable materials and spillage, turn
cookware handles toward the side or back of
the range without extending over adjacent
burners.
Carefldly 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 from the vent may i_fite flammable
items and _sdllincrease pressure in closed
containers, which may cause them to burst.
K a combination of oils or fats will be used
in fi}4ng, stir together befbre heating or
as fats melt slowly.
Use a deep fat the_nometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
Do not operate the btmmr without all btmmr
parts in place.
Use the least possible amount of tat fbr
effective shallow or deep-fat fi?4ng. Filling
the pan too fldl of fat can cause spillovers
when fbod is added.
_4%en preparing flaming fbods 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 cmTent
standards, resulting in a health hazard.
Foods fbr fi}4ng should be as dUas possible.
Frost on flozen tbods or moisture on flesh
tbods can cause hot tat to bubble up and over
the sides of the pan.
Never try to move a pan of hot tat, especially
a deep fat flyer 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'ayfiom the surface
bm_ ers.
To avoid the possibility of a bum, always be
certain that the controls fbr all burners are
at the OFFposition and all grates are cool
befbre attempting to remove them.
If range is located near a window, do not
hang long curtains that could blow over the
surface burners and create a fire hazard.
If you smell gas, mm 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 surtace burner controls off
befbre rem(Mng cookware.

Top-of-Range Cookware
Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is
recommended because it heats quickly
and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in
an aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with
fight-fitting lids when cooMng with
ItliniIlltllIl _t/IlOtllltS of _,V_t{eI-
Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets
will give safisfimtory results.
Enamelware: Under so)me conditions,
the enamel of some cookware may
melt. Follow cookware manuf_cturer's
recommendations for cooking methods.
Glass: There are two types of glass
cookware--those for oven rise only
and those for tel>of:range cooking
(saucepans, coffee and reapers).
(;lass conducts heat very slowly.
Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used
for eidler surfi_ce or oven cooking. It
c(mducts heat very slowly and cools very
slowly. Check cookware mamffhcmrer's
directions to be sure it can be used on gas
ranges.
Stainless Steel: This metal aJone has
poor heating properties and is usually
combined with coppei; ahmlinum
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 Grills
Do not use stove top g_ills on your sealed
gas burners. If you use the stove top grill
on the sealed g_ksburnei; it will cause
incomplete colnbtlsfion and can result
in exposure to carbon monoxide levels
above allowable current standards.

For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal food temperature is the best test for aloneness. The
temperature probe takes the guesswork out of roasting by cooking foods to the exact doneness you want.
Thetemperature probe has a
skewer-like probe at one end and a
plug at the other end that goes into
the outlet inthe oven.
Use of probes other than the one
provided with this product may result
in damage to the probe or oven control°
Use the handles of the probe and plug
when inserting and removing them fiom
the food and outlet°

Donot store the probe in the oven.
After preparing file meat and placing it
on a trivet or a broiler pan grid designed
for broiling, follow these directions for
proper probe placement°
Insert the probe completely into the
meat. It should not touch bone, fat or
gristle.
For roasts widl no bone, insert die probe
into the meatiest part of the ro_st. For
bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe
into the cenmr of the lowest large muscle.
Insert the probe into the center of dishes
such as meat loaf or casseroles.
