WARNING!  
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or  
explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.  
ANTI-TIP DEVICE  
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 is installed and engaged properly,  
carefully tip the range forward. The bracket should stop the  
range within 4 inches. If it does not, the bracket must be  
reinstalled. 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.  
For free-standing or slide-in ranges, never completely remove  
the leveling legs or the range will not be secured to the anti-tip  
device properly.  
If you 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,

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.  
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.  
WARNING!  
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE  
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act 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.  
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.  
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:  
I Use this appliance only for its intended  
I Do not leave children alone—children should  
not be left alone or unattended in an area  
where an appliance is in use. They should  
never be allowed to sit or stand on any part  
of the appliance.

and grounded by a qualified technician in  
accordance with the provided installation  
instructions.  
I Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang  
on the door, storage drawer, or cooktop.  
They could damage the range and even tip  
it over, causing severe personal injury.  
I Do not attempt to repair or replace any  
part of your range unless it is specifically  
recommended in this manual. All other  
servicing should be referred to a qualified  
technician.  
I Do not store flammable materials in an oven  
or near the cooktop.  
I Before performing any service, disconnect  
the range power supply at the household  
distribution panel by removing the fuse  
or switching off the circuit breaker.  
CAUTION:  
Items of interest to children  
should not be stored in cabinets above a  
range or on the backsplash of a range—  
children climbing on the range to reach items  
could be seriously injured.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
I Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path  
and out of drafty locations to prevent poor  
air circulation.  
I Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments  
while using the appliance. Be careful 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.  
I Be sure all packaging materials are  
removed from the range before operating it  
to prevent fire or smoke damage should the  
packaging material ignite.  
I Do not store flammable materials in an oven,  
a range drawer or near a cooktop.  
I Be sure your range is correctly adjusted by  
a qualified service technician or installer for  
the type of gas (natural or LP) that is to be  
used. Your range can be converted for use  
with either type of gas. See the Installation  
of the range section.  
I Do not store or use combustible materials,  
gasoline or other flammable vapors and  
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other  
appliance.  
I Do not let cooking grease or other flammable  
materials accumulate in or near the range.  
WARNING:  
These adjustments  
must be made by a qualified service  
technician in accordance with the  
manufacturer’s instructions and all codes  
and requirements of the authority having  
jurisdiction. Failure to follow these instructions  
could result in serious injury or property  
damage. The qualified agency performing  
this work assumes responsibility for the  
conversion.  
I Do not use water on grease fires. Never  
pick up a flaming pan. Turn the 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.  
Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or  
foam-type fire extinguisher.  
I 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.  
I 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.  
I Flame in the upper oven or lower oven drawer  
can be smothered completely by closing the  
oven door or drawer and turning the control to  
off, or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical  
or foam-type fire extinguisher.  
I Do not leave children alone or unattended  
where a range is hot or in operation. They  
could be seriously burned.  
I Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool  
before touching them or leaving them where  
children can reach them.  
I Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang  
on the oven door, drawer or cooktop. They  
could damage the range and even tip it over,  
causing severe personal injury.  
I Never block the vents (air openings) 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 at the rear of the cooktop, at the  
top and bottom of the oven door, and at the  
bottom of the range under the lower oven  
drawer or kick panel.  
CAUTION:  
Items of interest to  
children should not be stored in cabinets  
above a range or on the backsplash of a  
range—children climbing on the range to  
reach items could be seriously injured.  
I Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can  
lead to damage and improper operation of  
the range.  
I For your safety, never use your appliance  
for warming or heating the room.  
I Large scratches or impacts to glass doors  
can lead to broken or shattered glass.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.  
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.  
WARNING!  
SURFACE BURNERS  
Use proper pan size—avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat  
bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. To avoid spillovers, make sure cookware 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.  
I Always use the LITE position when igniting  
the top burners and make sure the burners  
have ignited.  
I Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you do  
flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.  
I Do 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 to work improperly. This may  
cause a carbon monoxide level above that  
allowed by current standards, resulting in  
a health hazard.  
I Never leave the surface burners unattended  
at high flame settings. Boilovers cause  
smoking and greasy spillovers that may  
catch on fire.  
I Adjust the top burner flame size so it does  
not extend beyond the edge of the cookware.  
Excessive flame is hazardous.  
I Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot  
holders on 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.  
I 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.  
I Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially  
a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.  
I When using glass cookware, make sure it  
is designed for top-of-range cooking.  
I Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop—  
they may melt if left too close to the vent.  
I 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.  
I Keep all plastics away from the surface  
burners.  
I 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.  
I Carefully watch foods being fried at a high  
flame setting.  
I Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.  
I If range is located near a window, do not hang  
long curtains that could blow over the surface  
burners and create a fire hazard.  
I 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.  
I 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.  
I If a combination of oils or fats will be used  
in frying, stir together before heating or  
as fats melt slowly.  
I Always turn the surface burner controls off  
before removing cookware.  
I 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  
I Use a deep fat thermometer whenever  
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond  
the smoking point.  
I Use the least possible amount of fat for  
effective shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling the  
pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when  
food is added.

LOWEROVENDRAWER  
I The purpose of the warm setting of the lower  
oven drawer is to hold hot cooked foods at  
serving temperature. Always start with hot  
food; cold food cannot be heated or cooked  
using the warm setting of the lower oven  
drawer.  
I Do not touch the heating element or the  
interior surface of the lower oven drawer.  
These surfaces may be hot enough to burn.  
REMEMBER: The inside surface of the lower  
oven drawer may be hot when the drawer  
is opened.  
I Do not use the lower oven drawer to dry  
newspapers. If overheated, they can catch  
on fire.  
I Use care when opening the lower oven  
drawer. Open the drawer a crack and let  
hot air or steam escape before removing  
or replacing food. Hot air or steam which  
escapes can cause burns to hands, face  
and/or eyes.  
I Do not leave paper products, plastics, canned  
food or combustible materials in the drawer.  
I Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in  
or near your lower oven drawer.  
I Do not use aluminum foil to line the lower  
oven drawer. Foil is an excellent heat insulator  
and will trap heat beneath it. This will upset  
the performance of the drawer and it could  
damage the interior finish.  
I Do not warm food in the lower oven drawer  
for more than two hours.  
I Never place, use or self-clean the lower oven  
drawer pan in the upper oven.

Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.  
Before Lighting a Gas Burner  
After Lighting a Gas Burner  
I Make sure all burners are in place.  
I Do not operate the 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.  
I Make sure all grates on the range are  
properly placed before using any burner.  
I If your range has the Gas/Control Lockout  
feature, make sure it is disabled before  
attempting to light the surface burners.  
I Be sure the burners and grates are cool  
before you place your hand, a pot holder,  
cleaning cloths or other materials on them.  
How to Light a Gas Surface Burner  
Make sure all the surface burners are placed  
in their respective positions.  
When one burner is turned to LITE, all  
the burners spark. Do not attempt to  
disassemble or clean around any burner  
while another burner is on. An electric shock  
may result, which could cause you  
to knock over hot cookware.  
Push the control knob in and turn it to  
the LITE position.  
You will hear a little clicking noise—the sound  
of the electric spark igniting the burner.  
Turn the knob to adjust the flame size.  
If the knob stays at LITE, it will continue  
to click.  
Push the control knob in and turn it to  
the LITE position.

Sealed Gas Burners  
Medium  
Small  
Your gas range cooktop has five sealed  
gas burners. They offer convenience,  
cleanability and flexibility to be used in  
a wide range of cooking applications.  
The dual flame extra large burner (right front)  
is the maximum output burner. Like the other  
four burners, it can be turned down from HI  
to LO for a wide range of cooking applications;  
however, this burner is designed to quickly  
bring large amounts of liquid to a boil. It has  
a special POWER BOILsetting designed to  
be used with cookware 10 inches or larger  
in diameter.  
The smallest burner in the right rear position is  
the simmer burner. This burner can be turned  
down to LO for a very low simmer setting. It  
provides precise cooking performance for  
delicate foods such as sauces or foods that  
require low heat for a long cooking time.  
Extra large Dual flame  
extra large  
The medium (left rear) and the large (left front)  
burners are the primary burners for most  
cooking. These general-purpose burners can  
be turned down from HI to LO to suit a wide  
range of cooking needs. The extra large (left  
front) burner also has a special POWER BOIL™  
setting designed to be used with cookware  
10 inches or larger in diameter.  
Extra large and dual flame extra large burners only.  
Small, medium and center burner

The center oval burner is the largest in  
size and is for large oval pots/pans, round  
pots/pans 10 or greater in diameter or  
to be used with the griddle.  
How to Select Flame Size  
For safe handling of cookware, never let the  
flames extend up the sides of the cookware.  
Flames larger than the bottom of the  
cookware will not result in faster heating  
of the cookware and could be hazardous.  
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce  
heat. When fast heating is desired, the flame  
size on a gas burner should match the  
cookware you are using.

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 tight-  
fitting lids when cooking with minimum  
amounts of water.  
Glass: There are two types of glass  
cookware—those for oven use only and those  
for top-of-range cooking (saucepans, coffee  
and teapots). Glass conducts heat very  
slowly.  
Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for  
either surface or oven cooking. It conducts  
heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check  
cookware manufacturer’s directions to be  
sure it can be used on gas ranges.  
Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will  
give satisfactory results.  
Enamelware: Under some conditions,  
the enamel of some cookware may melt.  
Follow cookware manufacturer’s  
Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor  
heating properties and is usually combined  
with copper, aluminum or other metals for  
improved heat distribution. Combination  
metal skillets usually work satisfactorily if  
they are used with medium heat as the  
manufacturer recommends.  
recommendations for cooking methods.  
Stove Top Grills  
Do not use stove top grills on your sealed  
gas burners. If you use the stove top grill  
on the sealed gas burner, it will cause  
incomplete combustion and can result  
in exposure to carbon monoxide levels  
above allowable current standards.  
This can be hazardous to your health.  
Wok This Way  
We recommend that you use a 14-inch or  
smaller flat-bottomed wok. Make sure the  
Do not use a wok support ring. Placing the  
ring over the burner or grate may cause the  
burner to work improperly, resulting in carbon  
monoxide levels above allowable standards.

available at your local retail store.  
Only a flat-bottomed wok should be used.  
In Case of Power Failure  
In case of a power failure, you can light the  
gas surface burners on your range with a  
match. Hold a lit match to the burner, then  
push in and turn the control knob to the LITE  
position. Use extreme caution when lighting  
burners this way.  
Surface burners in use when an electrical  
power failure occurs will continue to operate  
normally.  
NOTE: If Gas/Control Lockout is in use at the  
time of a power failure, the surface burners  
cannot be lit.

To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on.  
Before you begin…  
The racks have stop-locks, so that when  
placed correctly on the supports, they will  
stop before coming completely out, and  
will not tilt.  
To remove a rack, pull it toward you, tilt the  
front end up and pull it out.  
To replace, place the end of the rack  
(stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the  
front and push the rack in.  
When placing and removing cookware,  
pull the rack out to the bump on the  
rack support.  
NOTE: The rack is not designed to slide out  
at the special low rack (R) position.  
The oven has 5 rack positions.  
It also has a special low rack position (R)  
for extra large items, such as a large  
turkey.  
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.  
I Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop  
may become hot if left too close to the vent.  
I Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop—  
they may melt if left too close to the vent.  
I 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.  
Plastic items on the cooktop may melt  
if left too close to the vent.  
Vent appearance and location vary.  
I Metal items will become very hot if they are  
left on the cooktop, and could cause burns.

a large turkey. The rack is not designed  
to slide out at this position.  
The word ON and 100° will be displayed.  
As the oven heats up, the display will show  
the changing temperature. When the oven  
reaches the temperature you set, a tone  
will sound.  
Preheating and Pan Placement  
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.  
To preheat, set the oven at the correct  
temperature. Preheating is necessary  
when convection baking and for good  
results when baking cakes, cookies,  
pastry and breads.

4-Layer cakes  
When baking four cake layers at a time,  
use racks B and D. Place the lower pans  
at the back of the rack and the upper  
pans to the front of the rack shown so  
that one pan is not directly above  
another.  
Aluminum Foil  
Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom  
of the oven.  
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch a  
spillover by placing it on a lower rack several  
inches below the food.  
Never entirely cover a rack with aluminum  
foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and  
result in poor baking.  
Oven Moisture  
As your oven heats up, the temperature  
change of the air in the oven may cause  
water droplets to form on the door glass.  
These droplets are harmless and will  
evaporate as the oven continues to heat up.

Using the convection oven.  
GEAppliances.com  
The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened. DONOTleave the door open for long periods of time  
while using convection cooking.  
To help you understand the difference  
between convection bake and roast and  
traditional bake and roast, here are some  
general guidelines.  
Roasts or poultry should be cooked on rack  
position (A).  
When you are convection roasting, it is  
important that you use a broiler pan and grid  
for best convection roasting results. The pan  
is used to catch grease spills and the grid is  
used to prevent grease spatters.  
Convection Bake  
I Preheat the oven. See the Using the Oven–  
Preheating and Pan Placement section.  
In a convection oven, a fan circulates  
hot air over, under and around the food.  
This circulating hot air is evenly  
distributed throughout the oven cavity.  
As a result, foods are evenly cooked  
and browned—often in less time than  
with regular heat.  
I Place the rack in rack position (A).  
I Ideal for foods cooked on multiple racks.  
I Good for large quantities of baked foods.  
I Good results with cookies, biscuits,  
brownies, cupcakes, cream puffs, sweet  
rolls, angel food cake and bread.  
NOTE: To maximize cooking evenness,  
the fan is designed to rotate in both  
directions with a pause in between.  
This is normal.  
The convection fan circulates the heated  
air evenly over and around the food.  
Convection Roast  
I 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 sides as if they  
were cooked on a rotisserie. Heated air will  
be circulated over, under and around the  
food being roasted. The heated air seals in  
juices quickly for a moist and tender product  
while, at the same time, creating a rich  
golden brown exterior.

Using the convection oven.  
Cookware for Convection Cooking  
Before using your convection oven, check  
to see if your cookware leaves room for air  
circulation in the oven. If you 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.  
Metal and Glass  
Any type of cookware will work in your  
convection oven. However, metal pans heat  
the fastest and are recommended for  
convection baking.  
I Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake  
faster than shiny pans.  
Paper and Plastic  
Heat-resistant 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°F.  
I Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.  
When baking cookies, you will get the best  
results if you 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.

temperature is reached.  
NOTE: When convection baking, the oven  
temperature will be 25˚F (14˚C) lower than  
the set temperature. See Auto Recipe™  
Conversion in this section for more  
information. When convection roasting,  
oven temperature will not auto convert.  
Multi-Rack Baking  
Because heated air is circulated evenly  
throughout the oven, foods can be baked  
with excellent results using multiple racks.  
When baking larger foods on 3 racks, place  
one rack in the 2nd (A) position, one on the  
4th (C) position and the third rack in the 6th (E)  
position.  
Multi-rack baking may increase cook times  
slightly for some foods but the overall result is When baking cookies, place the racks

other quick breads give very good results  
with multi-rack baking.  
in the 3rd (B), 4th (C) and 5th (D) positions.  
When convection baking with only 1 rack,  
follow the rack positions recommended  
in the Using the Oven section.  
To cook food on more than one rack in  
convection bake, use CONVECTION BAKE

Adjust the upper oven thermostat—Do it yourself!  
GEAppliances.com  
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 20–40 degrees.  
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be  
retained in memory after a power failure.  
To Adjust the Thermostat  
Touch the BAKE and BROIL HI/LO pads  
at the same time for 3 seconds until the  
display shows SF.  
When you have made the adjustment,  
touch the START pad to go back to the  
time of day display. Use your oven as  
you would normally.  
Touch the BAKE pad. A two digit number  
shows in the display.  
NOTE: The thermostat adjustment for Baking  
will also affect Convection Baking or  
Convection Roasting.  
Touch BAKE once to decrease (-)  
the oven temperature, or twice to  
increase (+).  
The oven temperature can be adjusted  
up as much as 35°F or down as much  
as 35°F. Touch the number pads the  
same way you read them. For example,  
to change the oven temperature 15°F,  
touch 1 and 5.  
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.

The oven door must be closed and all controls set correctly for the cycle to work properly.  
Before a Clean Cycle  
For the first self-clean cycle, we recommend  
venting your kitchen with an open window  
or using a ventilation fan or hood.  
Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass  
material of the oven door gasket cannot  
withstand abrasion. It is essential for the  
gasket to remain intact. If you notice it  
becoming worn or frayed, replace it.  
Remove the racks, any broiler pan,  
broiler grid, probe, all cookware and  
any aluminum foil from the oven.  
Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the oven  
bottom.  
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom.  
The oven racks can be self-cleaned,  
but they will darken, lose their luster  
and become hard to slide.  
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is  
in place and the oven light is off.  
Soil on the front frame of the range and  
outside the gasket on the door will need  
to be cleaned by hand. Clean these areas  
with hot water, soap-filled scouring pads or  
cleansers such as Soft Scrub®. Rinse well  
with clean water and dry.  
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is  
extremely sensitive to the fumes given off  
during the self-cleaning cycle of any range.

Burner Grates  
Your range has three professional-style double If white spots remain, remove them  
grates. These grates are position-specific.  
For maximum stability, these grates should  
only be used in their proper positions. For  
convenience, the undersides of the side grates  
are marked “OUTSIDE.” Make sure the front  
portion of both grates is in front. The center  
grate can be interchanged front to back.

thoroughly with a vinegar and water mixture.  
These deposits are usually a salt residue that  
cannot be removed by the clean cycle.  
Appearance may vary.  
The grates may be cleaned in a  
dishwasher.  
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. Place them on the lowest rack  
of the dishwasher and run on a “heavy duty”  
cycle.  
Cleaning Grates—Soap and Water  
Lift grates out when cool. Grates should be  
washed regularly and, of course, after  
spillovers. Wash them in hot, soapy water  
and rinse with clean water. When replacing  
the grates, be sure they are positioned  
securely over the burners. Replace the grates

Support Bumpers  
If one or more of the circular silicone grate  
support bumpers in the cooktop are missing  
or damaged, replacement parts can be  
obtained by calling 1.800.GE.CARES.  
To insert the new bumpers, simply insert  
the cone shaped end and push down while  
gently twisting or rocking the bumper.  
NOTE: Do not clean the griddle in the  
self-cleaning oven.  
The oven has 5 rack positions.  
Place the gray porcelain-coated racks  
in positions “R”, “B” and “D” for self-  
cleaning the grates. Place one grate  
each on the oven racks from side to  
side.  
Place one grate each on the oven racks  
from side to side. Follow the instructions  
for how to set the upper oven for cleaning.  
NOTE: Use caution when removing the grates  
from the oven after the self-clean cycle has  
ended. The grates may still 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.  
Cooktop Surface  
To avoid damaging the stainless steel surface  
of the cooktop and to prevent it from becoming  
dull, clean up spills right away. Foods with a lot  
of acid (tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, etc.)  
or foods with high sugar content could cause  
a dull spot if allowed to set.  
NOTE: Do not store flammable materials  
in an oven, drawer or near the cooktop.  
Do not store or use combustible materials,  
gasoline or other flammable vapors and  
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other  
appliance.  
When the surface has cooled, wash and rinse.  
For other spills such as fat spatterings, etc.,  
wash with soap and water once the surface  
has cooled. Then rinse and polish with a  
dry cloth.  
NOTE: Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop  
can lead to damage and improper operation  
of the range.

Griddle Precautions:  
I Donotcleanthegriddleinaself-cleaningoven.  
I If something has spilled under the griddle,  
it should be cleaned up as soon as possible  
to prevent “baked on” food soil.  
I Do not clean the griddle in a dishwasher.  
I Wash with hot, soapy water after each use  
while using a sponge or dishcloth.  
I Do not allow grease to accumulate under  
the griddle as it can be a fire hazard. Clean  
under the griddle as soon as it is cool. Clean  
with hot soapy water.  
I If oil or food residue is left on the griddle,  
further cooking will harden the residue and  
cause sticking over time. In this case, use a  
non-abrasive cleanser such as Bon Ami® or  
one of the soft scrub cleansers. Apply with  
a sponge, Scrunge® or other cleaning pad  
labeled safe for non-stick pans  
I Do not place your griddle in the microwave.  
I Always turn off all surface burners before  
removing the griddle. Use caution when  
handling a hot griddle.  
I Use only plastic, nylon or wooden utensils  
or SilverStone® kitchen tools to prevent  
marring of the coating.  
Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)  
Protecting  
Cleaning Instructions:  
Remove grates.  
STAINLESSSTEEL has a reputation for  
withstanding tough abuse for years. This is a  
key reason why it is so popular with the food  
service industry.  
Wash using warm, soapy water:  
Wet soft cloth or paper towel (avoid  
using excessive water).  
Wipe the surface in the direction of the  
grain (following the steel lines).  
Rinse and wring out a soft cloth or paper  
towel and dry the range.  
However, stainless steel appliances can have  
surface imperfections, discolorations or  
blemishes that consumers with a critical eye  
notice and find unattractive in the home.  
These discolorations or blemishes can be  
caused by something as simple as leaving  
fingerprint smudges on the stainless steel  
surface overnight.  
Apply a degreaser that does not contain  
sodium hydroxide or Stainless Steel  
Cleaner (follow instructions).  
For stainless steel appliances where  
blemishes are prone to show on the surface,  
we recommend APPLYINGACOATOFCERAMA  
BRYTE® Stainless Steel Cleaning Polish &  
Conditioner (purchased separately—follow  
instructions).  
Apply Cerama Bryte® Stainless Steel  
Brightener (follow instructions).  
Repeatsteps24asmanytimesasneeded.

Lift-Off Oven Door  
The oven door is removable, but it is heavy.  
You may need help removing and replacing  
the door.  
I The area outside the gasket can  
be cleaned with a soap-filled plastic  
scouring pad.  
Do not lift the door by the handle. Make sure  
the oven is completely cool.  
Do not allow food spills with a high sugar  
or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes,  
sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain  
on the surface. They may cause a dull spot  
even after cleaning.  
To remove the door, open it a few inches  
to the special stop position that will hold the  
door open. Grasp firmly on each side and lift  
the door straight up and off the hinges.  
To clean the outside of the door:  
Lift the door straight up and off the  
hinges.  
NOTE: Be careful not to place hands between  
the hinge and the oven door frame as the  
hinge could snap back and pinch fingers.  
I 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.  
To replace the door, make sure the hinges  
are in the special stop position. Position the  
slots in the bottom of the door squarely over  
the hinges. Then lower the door slowly and  
evenly over both hinges at the same time. If  
the hinges snap back against the oven frame,  
pull them back out.  
I Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato  
sauces and basting materials containing  
acids may cause discoloration and should  
be wiped up immediately. When the  
surface is cool, clean and rinse.  
The gasket is designed with a gap  
at the bottom to allow for proper  
air circulation.  
To clean the inside of the door:  
I Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing  
powders or harsh abrasives on the  
outside of the door.  
Do not rub or clean the door gasket—  
it has an extremely low resistance  
to abrasion.  
I Do not allow excess water to run into  
any holes or slots in the door.  
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.  
I Because the area inside the gasket is  
cleaned during the self-clean cycle, you do  
not need to clean this by hand. Any soap  
left on the liner causes additional stains  
when the oven is heated.  
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.

Removable Lower Oven Drawer  
To replace the drawer:  
NOTE: Before performing any adjustments,  
cleaning or service, disconnect the range  
electrical power supply at the household  
distribution panel by removing the fuse or  
switching off the circuit breaker. Make sure  
the drawer heating element is cool.  
Place the left drawer rail around  
the inner left rail guide and slide  
it in slightly to hook it.  
Place the right drawer rail around  
the inner right rail guide and slide  
it in slightly to hook it.  
Most cleaning can be done with the drawer  
in place. However, the drawer may be  
removed if further cleaning is needed. Use  
soap and warm water to thoroughly clean.  
Slide the drawer all the way in.  
To remove the drawer:  
Pull the drawer straight out until  
it stops.  
Press the tabs on both sides in, while  
pulling the drawer forward and free.  
Removable Lower Oven Drawer Pan  
I Never place, use or self-clean the lower  
oven drawer pan in the upper oven.  
NOTE: Before performing any adjustments,  
cleaning or service, disconnect the range  
electrical power supply at the household  
distribution panel by removing the fuse or  
switching off the circuit breaker. Make sure  
the drawer heating element is cool.  
I Lower oven drawer has a removable pan  
for easy cleaning. Clean with hot, soapy  
water and a sponge or dish towel. Dry  
with a clean cloth. An oven cleaner, such  
as Easy-Off®, may also be used. Be sure to  
follow the directions on the oven cleaner.  
Replace the pan in the lower oven drawer.  
NOTE: Allow lower oven drawer to cool  
before removing pan.  
NOTE: Wipe spills promptly after each use.

Oven Air Vents  
Never block the vents (air openings) 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 at the rear of  
the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the  
oven door, and at the bottom of the range,  
under the lower oven drawer.  
Vent appearance and location vary.  
Upper Control Panel  
Lock out the touch pads before cleaning.  
Remove heavier soil with warm soapy water.  
Do not use abrasives of any kind.  
See the Gas/Control Lockout information  
in the Special features of your oven control  
section in this manual.  
Unlock the touch pads after cleaning.  
See the Control Lockout information in the  
Special features of your oven control section  
in this manual.  
Clean up splatters with a damp cloth.  
You may also use a glass cleaner.  
Lower Control Panel and Knobs  
It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel  
after each use of the oven. Clean with  
mild soap and water or vinegar and water,  
rinse with clean water and polish dry with  
a soft cloth.  
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.  
Surface burner knob  
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid  
cleaners, plastic scouring pads or oven  
cleaners on the control panel—they will  
damage the finish. A 50/50 solution of  
vinegar and hot water works well.  
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.  
Metal parts can be cleaned with soap  
and water. Do not use steel wool, abrasives,  
ammonia, acids or commercial oven cleaners.  
Dry with a soft cloth.  
NOTE: The lower oven drawer control knob is  
not interchangeable with the surface burner  
knobs. Be sure to reinstall the lower oven  
drawer knob to the original location. The lower  
oven drawer knob may be identified by the  
increasing numbers from “WM” to “450.”

LOCATION GUIDELINES  
Do not locate the range where it may be subject to strong drafts. Any openings in the floor or  
wall behind the range should be sealed. Make sure the openings around the base of the range  
that supply fresh air for combustion and ventilation are not obstructed by carpeting or woodwork.  
Your range, like many other household items,  
is heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings  
such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting. Use care  
when moving the range on this type of flooring.  
It is recommended that the following simple and  
inexpensive instructions be followed to protect  
your floor.  
This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning  
or servicing. Also, make sure your floor covering  
will withstand 180°F. (See the Installation Safety  
Instructions section.)  
Make sure the wall coverings around your range  
can withstand the heat generated (up to 200°F)  
by the range. (See the Installation Safety Instructions  
section.)  
The range should be installed on a sheet of plywood  
(or similar 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 plywood to the same level  
or higher than the floor covering.  
IMPORTANT!  
Remove all tape and packaging. Make 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.

Provide Adequate Gas Supply  
Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of 5 of water column on natural gas or,  
if designed for LP gas (propane or butane), 10 of water column.  
Make sure you are supplying your range  
with the type of gas for which it is designed.  
When checking for proper operation of the  
regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least 1  
greater than the operating (manifold) pressure  
as given above.  
This range is convertible for use on natural or  
propane gas. If you decide to use this range on  
LP gas, conversion must be made by a qualified  
LP installer before attempting to operate the  
range on that gas.  
The pressure regulator located at the inlet of the range  
manifold must remain in the supply line regardless of  
whether natural or LP gas is being used.  
For proper operation, the pressure of natural  
gas supplied to the regulator must be between  
5 and 13 of water column.  
A flexible metal appliance connector used to  
connect the range to the gas supply 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  
6 feet in length.  
For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be between  
10 and 13 of water column.

grounded circuit protected by a circuit breaker  
or time-delay fuse (40 amp). The receptacle must  
be NEMA 14-50R to accept the 4-prong plug  
supplied with the range.  
If the electrical service provided does not meet  
the above specifications, it is recommended that  
a licensed electrician install an approved outlet.

Read these instructions completely and carefully.  
Connect the Range to the Gas Supply  
Shut off the main gas supply valve before disconnecting the old range and leave it off  
until the new hookup has been completed. Don’t forget to relight the pilot on other gas  
appliances when you turn the gas back on.  
Because hard piping restricts movement of the  
range, the use of a CSA International-certified  
flexible metal appliance connector is recommended  
unless local codes require a hard-piped connection.  
valve, taking care to back up the shut-off valve  
to keep it from turning.  
Connect flexible metal appliance connector  
to the adapter on the range. Position range  
to permit connection at the shut-off valve.  
Never use an old connector when installing a  
new range. If the hard piping method is used, you  
must carefully align the pipe; the range cannot be  
moved after the connection is made.  
When all connections have been made, make  
sure all range controls are in the off position  
and turn on the main gas supply valve.  
Use a liquid leak detector at all joints and  
connections to check for leaks in the system.  
To prevent gas leaks, put pipe joint compound on,  
or wrap pipe thread tape with Teflon* around, all  
male (external) pipe threads.  
Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the  
gas line in an easily accessed location outside  
of the range. Make sure everyone operating  
the range knows where and how to shut off  
the gas supply to the range.  
CAUTION: DO NOT USE A  
FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.  
When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig  
to pressure test the gas supply system of the  
residence, disconnect the range and individual  
shut-off valve from the gas supply piping. When  
using test pressures of 1/2 psig or less to test the  
gas supply system, simply isolate the range from  
the gas supply system by closing the individual  
shut-off valve.  
Install male 1/2 flare union adapter to  
the 1/2 NPT internal thread elbow at inlet

regulator fitting to avoid damage.  
When installing the range from the front,  
remove the 90° elbow for easier installation.

Installation of the range.  
Connect the Range to the Electrical Supply  
Skip to Step 5 if the power cord shipped on the range does not match your  
wall receptacle.  
Using an Existing NEMA 14-50R Receptacle  
I Plug the range power cord into a properly  
grounded wall receptacle. Skip to Step 6 if the  
range power cord matches the wall receptacle.  
A range cord rated at 40 amps with 125/250  
minimum volt range is required. A 50-amp range  
cord is not recommended but if used, it should  
be marked for use with nominal 138 diameter  
connection openings. Care should be taken  
to center the cable and strain relief within the  
knockout hole to keep the edge from damaging  
the cable.  
NOTE: Your range is shipped with a 4-prong plug  
to be used in a NEMA 14-50R receptacle. Should  
you choose to change your plug, use only a 3-  
wire power cord, 3-wire conduit or 4-wire  
conduit. Follow the appropriate instructions  
below, in Step 5, for your application.  
NOTE: A 4-conductor cord is to be used when  
the appliance is installed in a mobile home or  
when local codes do not permit grounding  
through the neutral.  
Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electric Code  
requires that new construction (not existing)utilize a  
4-conductor connection to an electric range.

Installation of the range.  
Anti-Tip Device Installation  
To check if 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. On models  
without a storage drawer or kick panel, carefully  
tip the range forward. The bracket should stop  
the range within 4 inches. If it does not, the  
bracket must be reinstalled. 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.  
For free-standing or slide-in ranges, never  
completely remove the leveling legs or the range  
will not be secured to the anti-tip device properly.  
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.  
If you 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).
