IMPORTANT SAFETYINFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONSBEFOREUSING.
AkWARNING!
SURFACEBURNERS
Use proper pan size-avoid pans that are unstable or eadlytipped. Select cool<ware having flat
bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. To avoid spillovers, mal<e sure cool<ware is large enough
to contain the food properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations
of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can
be easily grasped and remain cool.
_ Always use the LITE position when igniting
the top burners and make sure the burners
have ignited.
]'_ Never leave the surface burners unattended
at high flame settings. Bailovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that may
catch an fire.
_d_Adjust the top burner flame size so it does
not extend beyond the edge of the caokware.
Excessive flame is hazardous.
]'_ Use only dry pot holders-maist or damp pot
halders an hot surfaces may result in burns
from steam. Do not let pot holders come near
open flames when lifting cookware. Do not use
a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a pot
holder.
_d_When using glass cookware, make sure it
is designed far top-of-range coaking.
_d_To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition
of flammable materials and spillage, turn
cookware handles toward the side or back
of the range without extending over adjacent
burners.
_d_Carefully watch foods being flied at a high
flame setting.
_d_Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
_ Da not leave any items on the cooktop. The
hot air flam the vent may ignite flammable
items and will increase pressure in closed
containers, which may cause them to burst.
_ If a combination of oils ar fats will be used
in flying, stir together before heating or
as fats melt slowly.
_ Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible ta prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
_ Use the least passible amount of fat far
effective shallow ar deep-fat frying. Filling the
pan too full of fat can cause spillavers when
food is added.
_ Do not flame foods on the cook!op. If you do
flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
_ Da not use a wok on the cooking surface
if the wok has a round metal ring that is placed
over the burner grate to support the wok. This
ring acts as a heat trap, which may damage
the burner grate and burner head. Also, it may
cause the burner ta work improperly. This may
cause a carbon monoxide level above that
allowed by current standards, resulting in
a health hazard.
_ Foods for flying 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.
S'_Never try to move a pan af hot fat, especially
a deep fat flyen Wait until the fat is cool.
s'_Do nat leave plastic items on the coaktop-
they may melt if left too close to the vent.
_ Keep all plastics away from the surface
burners.
_ To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be
certain that the controls for all burners are
at the OFF position and all grates are cool
before 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.
S'_If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range
and call a qualified service technician. Never
use an open flame to locate a leak.
_d_Always turn the surface burner controls off
before remaving caokware.
:_ When disabling Gas/Control Lockout, make
sure the surface controls are set to the OFF
position. This will preclude gas flow when the
range is turned on

Vent appearance and location varg
Upper Oven Vent
Your oven is vented through ducts at the rear
of the range. Do not block these ducts when
cooking in the oven-it is important 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.
!_fHandles of pots and pans on the cooktop
mag becomehot if left too closeto the vent.
!_fDo not leaveplastic items on the cooktop-
theg may melt if left too closeto the vent.
i_,Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The
hot air from the vent may ignite flammable
items and will increasepressurein dosed
containers, which may causethem to burst.
_÷_iMetal items will become very hot if they are
left on the cooktop,and could cause burns.

Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe callsfor it.
To preheat, setthe oven at the correct
temperature. Preheating is necessarg when
baking cakes,cookies,pastrg and breads.
For ovenswithout opreheat indicator light
or tone,preheat 10 minutes.
Baking resultswill be better if baking pans
are centered in the oven as much as possible.
Pans should not touch each other or the walls
of the oven. If gou need to use two shelves,
stagger the pans so one is not directlg above
the other,and leave approximatelg lY/"
between pans, from the front, back and sides
of the wall.
Aluminum Foil
Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom
of the oven.
Do not use aluminum foil to catch spillovers
when using the CircuWave fan. The foil
will be sucked toward the convection fan.
Never entirelg cover a shelfwith aluminum
foil.Thiswill disturb the heat circulation and
result in poor baking.
A smaller sheet of foil mag be used to catch a
spillover bg placing it on a lower shelf several
inches below the food.
Oven Moisture
As gour oven heats up, the temperature
change of the air in the oven mag cause
water droplets to form on the door glass.
Thesedroplets are harmless and will
evaporate as the oven continues to heat up.

Using the probe.
For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal food temperature is the best test for doneness.
The temperature probe takes the guesswork out of roasting by cooking foods to the exact aloneness you want.
The temperature probe has o
skewer like probe at one end and
oplug at the other end that goes
into the outlet in the oven
Useof probesother than the one providedwith
this productmag resultindamage to the probe.
Usethe handles of the probe and plug when
inserting and removing them from the food
and outlet.
!_!_To ovoid damaging gour probe, do not use
tongs to pull on the cable when removing it.
_To ovoid breaking the probe make sure food
is completelg defrosted before inserting.
_Toprevent possible burns, do not unplug
the probe from the outlet until the oven
has cooled.
_Never leaveyour probe inside the oven
during a self-cleaningcycle.
_Do not store the probe in the oven.
After preparing the meat and placing
it on a trivet or on a broiler pan grid,
follow these directions for proper probe
placement.
Insert the probe completelg into the meat.
It should not touch the bone, fat or gristle.
For roasts with no bone, insert the probe into
the meatiest part of the roast. For bone-in
ham or lamb, insertthe probe into the center
of the lowest large muscle.
Insert the probe into the center of dishes
such as meat loaf or casseroles.
Insert the probe into the meatiest part of the
inner thigh from below and parallel to the leg
of a whole turkey.

Usingthe convectionoven. ge.com
The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened. DO NOTleove the door open for long periods of time
while using convection cooking.
In a convection oven, Ofan
circulates hot air over, under and
around the food This circulating
hot air is evenlg distributed
throughout the oven cavity As a
result, foods are evenlg cooked and
browned-often in less time thor)
with regular heat
NOTE:Tomaximize cooking
evenness, the fan is designed to
rotate in both directions with o
pause in between Thisis normal
To help gou understand the difference
between convection bake and roast and
traditional bake and roast, here are some
general guidelines.
Convection Bake

Convection Roast
_! Good for large tender cuts of meat,
uncovered.
The convection fan circulates the heated air
evenly over and around the food. Meat and
poultry are browned on all sidesas if the9
were cooked on a rotisserie.Heated air will
be circulated over,under and around the
food being roasted. The heated air sealsin
juices quickly for a moist and tender product
while, at the same time, creating a rich
golden brown exterion
Roastsor poultry should be cooked on shelf
position (A).
When gou are convection roasting, it is
important that gou use a broiler pan and grid
for best convection roasting results.Thepan
is used to catch grease spillsand the grid is
used to prevent grease spatters.

Cookware for Convection Cooking
Before using your convection oven,check
to see if gour cookware leaves room for air
circulation in the oven. If gou 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
Heabresistant 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 400°F can also be used,
when oven is below 400°E
Metal and Glass
Ang tgpe of cookware will work in your
convection oven. However,metal pans heat
the fastest and are recommended for
convection baking.
_i:.Darkenedor matte-finished pans will bake
faster than shiny pans.
_i:.Glassor ceramic pans cook more slowlg.
When baking cookies,gou will get the best
results if gou 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.

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 aspread 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 least 70%
vegetable oil.

prior to placing the grates in the oven.Place
the gray porcelain-coated racks in positions
"R","B"and "D".
NOTE:Do not dean the griddle in the
stir-cleaning oven.
Place one grate each on the oven racks
from side to side.Followthe instructions
for how to set the upper oven for cleaning.
NOTE: Use caution when removing the grates
from the oven after the self-dean cgde has
ended. The grates may sdl be hot.
For heavily-soiled grates, you may notice
some white ash on the grate. Wipe it off
with a damp cloth after the grate cools.
If white spots remain, remove them
with a soap-filled scouring pad and rinse
thoroughly with a vinegar and water mixture.
Thesedeposits are usually a salt residue that
cannot be removed by the clean cycle.
Cleaning Grates--Dishwasher
The grates may be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Remove any burnt-on food particles that
you can prior to placing the grates in the
dishwasher.Placethem on the lowest rack
of the dishwasher and run on a "heavy duty"
cycle.
Do not operate a burner for an extended
period of time without cookware on the grate.
The finish on the grate may chip without
cookware to absorb the heat.
Although the grates are durable, they will
gradually lose their shine, regardless of the
best care you can give them. This is due
to their continual exposure to high
temperatures and abrasion by the eookware.
Support Bumpers
If one or more of the circular silicone grate
support bumpers in the eooktop are missing
or damaged, replacement parts can be
obtained by calling 1.800.GECARES.
To insert the new bumpers, simply insert
the cone shaped end and push down while
gently twisting or rocking the bumpen

LOCATION GUIDELINES
Do not locate the range where it mag be subject to strong drafts. Any openings in the floor or
wall behind the range should be sealed. Hake sure the openings around the base of the range
that supply fresh air for combustion and ventilation are not obstructed bg carpeting or woodwork.
Yourrange, like mang other household items,
is heavg and can settle into soft floor coverings
such as cushioned vingl or carpeting. Usecare
when moving the range on this tgpe of flooring.
It is recommended that the following simple and
inexpensive instructions befollowed to protect
gour floon
The range should be installed on a sheet of plgwood
(orsimilar material).When the floor covering ends at
the front of the range, the area that the range will rest
on should be built up with plgwood to the same level
or higher than the floor covering.
Thiswill allow the range to be moved for cleaning
or servicing.Also,make sure gour floor covering
will withstand 180°F.(Seethe InstallationSafety
Instructions section.)
Make sure the wall coverings around gour range
can withstand the heat generated (upto 200°F)
bg the range. (Seethe Installation Safety Instructions
section.)
IMPORTANT!
Remove all tape and packaging. Hake sure the burners are properly seated and level.
Take the accessory pack out of the oven.
Check to be sure that no range parts have come loose during shipping.

Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of b "of water column on natural gas or,
if designed for LP gas (propane or butane), 10" of water column.
Hake sure gou are supplging gour range
with the tgpe of gas for which it is designed.
Thisrange is convertible for use on natural or
propane gas. If gou decide to use this range on
LPgas,conversion must be made bg a qualified
LPinstaller before attempting to operate the
range on that gas.
For proper operation, the pressure of natural
gas supplied to the regulator must be between
5" and 15" of water column.
For LPgas,the pressuresupplied must be between
10" and 13" of water column.
When checking for proper operation of the
regulator,the inlet pressuremust be at least 1"
greater than the operating (manifold)pressure
as given above.
Thepressureregulatorlocatedat the inlet of the range
manifold must remain inthe supplglineregardlessof
whether natural or LPgas is beingused.
A flexible metal appliance connector used to
connect the range to the gas supplg line should
have an I.D.of 1/2" and be 5 feet in length for ease
of installation. In Canada,flexible connectors must
be single wall metal connectors no longer than
