COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…  
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least an  
INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.  
WARNING!  
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
I Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments I Do not touch the surface units, the heating

burns.  
elements or the interior surface of the oven.  
These surfaces may be hot enough to burn  
even though they are dark in color. During  
and after use, do not touch, or let clothing  
or other flammable materials contact, the  
surface units, areas nearby the surface units  
or any interior area of the oven; allow  
sufficient time for cooling first.  
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  
touch hot surface units or heating elements.  
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.  
I Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop,  
areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening,  
surfaces near the opening, crevices around  
the oven door and metal trim parts above  
the door.  
I For your safety, never use your appliance  
for warming or heating the room.  
I REMEMBER: The inside surface of the oven

materials accumulate in or near the range.  
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 use water on grease fires. Never pick  
up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.  
Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit 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 Keep the hood and grease filters clean  
to maintain good venting and to avoid  
grease fires.  
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 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 warming drawer or storage drawer.  
I Flame in the oven or warming drawer  
can be smothered completely by closing the  
door and turning the oven off or by using a  
multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire  
extinguisher.

WARMING DRAWER (on some models)  
I The purpose of the warming drawer is  
to hold hot cooked foods at serving  
temperature. Always start with hot food;  
cold food cannot be heated or cooked  
in the warming drawer.  
I Do not touch the heating element or the interior  
surface of the warming drawer. These surfaces  
may be hot enough to burn.  
REMEMBER: The inside surface of the  
warming drawer may be hot when the  
drawer is opened.  
I Do not use the warming drawer to dry  
newspapers. If overheated, they can catch  
on fire.  
I Use care when opening the 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, cooking  
utensils or food in the warming drawer  
when not in use.  
I Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in

or near your warming drawer.  
I Always keep wooden and plastic utensils  
and canned food a safe distance away from  
your warming drawer.  
I Do not warm food in the warming drawer  
for more than two hours.  
SURFACE UNITS—ALL MODELS  
Use proper pan size–select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit  
heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct  
contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will also  
improve efficiency.  
I Never leave the surface units unattended at  
high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking  
and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.  
I Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or  
medium high heat settings.  
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 Only certain types of glass, glass ⁄ceramic,  
earthenware or other glazed containers are  
suitable for cooktop service; others may  
break because of the sudden change in  
temperature.  
I Use little fat for effective shallow or deep fat  
frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can  
cause spillovers when food is added.  
I To minimize the possibility of burns,  
ignition of flammable materials and spillage,  
the handle of a container should be turned  
toward the center of the range without  
extending over nearby surface units.  
I If a combination of oils or fats will be used in  
frying, stir together before heating, or as fats  
melt slowly.  
I Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.  
I Always turn the surface units off before  
removing cookware.  
I Use a deep fat thermometer whenever  
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond  
the smoking point.  
I Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you  
do flame foods under the hood, turn the  
fan on.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.  
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.  
WARNING!  
RADIANT SURFACE UNITS (on some models)  
Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the controls  
have been turned off.  
I Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The  
cooktop can be scratched with items such as  
sharp instruments, rings or other jewelry and  
rivets on clothing.  
I Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet  
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a  
hot surface unit, be careful to avoid steam  
burns. Some cleaners can produce noxious  
fumes if applied to a hot surface.  
I Large scratches or impacts to glass doors  
or cooktops can lead to broken or shattered  
glass.  
NOTE: We recommend that you avoid wiping  
any surface unit areas until they have cooled  
and the indicator light has gone off. Sugar  
spills are the exception to this. Please see  
Cleaning the glass cooktop section.  
I Do not operate the radiant surface units if  
the glass is broken. Spillovers or cleaning  
solution may penetrate a broken cooktop  
and create a risk of electrical shock. Contact  
a qualified technician immediately should  
your glass cooktop become broken.

beneath a smooth glass surface.  
IWater stains (mineral deposits) are removable  
using the cleaning cream or full-strength white  
vinegar.  
NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new cooktop  
is used for the first time. It is caused by the heating  
of new parts and insulating materials and will  
disappear in a short time.

drop onto the cooktop, they can cause damage.  
Never cook directly on the glass.  
Always use cookware.  
IDo not use the surface as a cutting board.  
It is safe to place hot cookware from the  
oven or surface on the glass surface when  
the surface is cool.  
OFF CENTER  
Even after the surface units are turned off,  
the glass cooktop retains enough heat to  
continue cooking. To avoid over-cooking,  
remove pans from the surface units when  
the food is cooked. Avoid placing anything  
on the surface unit until it has cooled  
completely.  
Always place the pan in the center of  
the surface unit you are cooking on.  
Do not slide cookware across the cooktop  
because it can scratch the glass—the glass  
is scratch resistant, not scratch proof.  
DRAGGING  
Temperature Limiter  
Every radiant surface unit has a  
temperature limiter.  
The temperature limiter may cycle the  
units off for a time if:  
IThe pan boils dry.  
The temperature limiter protects the glass  
cooktop from getting too hot.  
IThe pan bottom is not flat.

Selecting types of cookware.  
ge.com  
The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.  
Stainless Steel:  
recommended  
Glass-ceramic:  
usable, but not recommended  
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.  
Aluminum:  
heavy weight recommended  
Stoneware:  
usable, but not recommended  
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.  
Good conductivity. Aluminum residues  
sometimes appear as scratches on the  
cooktop, but can be removed if cleaned  
immediately. Because of its low melting  
point, thin-weight aluminum should not  
be used.  
Check pans for flat bottoms by using  
a straight edge.  
Home Canning Tips:  
Be sure the canner is centered over the  
surface unit.  
Copper Bottom:  
Make sure the canner is flat on the bottom.  
recommended  
Use recipes and procedures from  
reputable sources. These are available  
from manufacturers such as Ball® and  
Kerr® and the Department of Agriculture  
Extension Service.  
Copper may leave residues which can  
appear as scratches. The residues can be  
removed, as long as the cooktop is cleaned  
immediately. However, do not let these pots  
boil dry. Overheated metal can bond to  
glass cooktops. An overheated copper  
bottom pot will leave a residue that will  
permanently stain the cooktop if not  
removed immediately.  
To prevent burns from steam or heat, use  
caution when canning.  
Porcelain Enamel Covered Cast Iron:  
recommended  
As long as the cookware is covered  
completely with porcelain enamel, this  
cookware is recommended. Caution is  
recommended for cast-iron cookware  
that is not completely covered with smooth  
porcelain enamel, as it may scratch the  
glass-ceramic cooktop.  
Pans with rounded, curved,  
ridged or warped bottoms are  
not recommended.  
The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on coil cooktops.  
Surface Cookware Tips  
Use medium- or heavy-weight cookware.  
Aluminum cookware conducts heat faster  
than other metals. Cast-iron and coated  
cast-iron cookware are slow to absorb heat,  
For best cooking results, pans should be  
flat on the bottom. Match the size of the  
saucepan to the size of the surface unit.  
The pan should not extend over the edge  
but generally cook evenly at low to medium of the surface unit more than 1 inch.  
heat settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly  
1″  
if not combined with other metals.  
Not over 1 inch  
Wok Cooking  
Placing the ring over the surface unit will  
cause a buildup of heat that will damage  
the porcelain cooktop. Do not try to use  
such woks without the ring. You could be  
seriously burned if the wok tips over.  
We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed  
wok. They are available at your local retail store.  
Do not use woks that have support rings.  
Use of these types of woks, with or without  
the ring in place, can be dangerous.  
Use only flat-bottomed woks.

Type of Margarine Will Affect Baking Performance!  
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.  
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.  
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 for  
good results when baking cakes, cookies,  
pastry and breads.  
Baking results will 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 you need to use

pan to the front of the shelf.  
On some models, the display will show “PRE”  
while preheating. When the oven reaches the  
selected temperature, the oven control will beep  
and the display will show the oven temperature.  
Aluminum Foil  
Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of the oven.  
Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum  
foil. This will disturb the heat circulation  
and result in poor baking.  
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to  
catch a spillover by placing it on a lower  
shelf several inches below the food.  
How to Set the Oven for Broiling (on models without an oven temperature knob)  
Place the meat or fish on a broiler  
grid in a broiler pan.  
Touch the START/ON pad.  
When broiling is finished, touch the  
CLEAR/OFF pad.  
Follow suggested shelf positions  
in the Broiling Guide.  
If your range is connected to 208 volts, rare steaks  
may be broiled by preheating the broiler and  
positioning the oven shelf one position higher.  
Leave the door open to the broil stop  
position. The door stays open by itself,  
yet the proper temperature is  
maintained in the oven.  
Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry  
or thick cuts of meat thoroughly without  
over-browning them.  
Touch the BROIL HI/LO pad once for  
HI Broil.  
To change to LO Broil, touch the  
BROIL HI/LO pad again.

Care and cleaning of the range.  
Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.  
If your range is removed for cleaning,  
servicing or any reason, be sure the  
anti-tip device is re-engaged properly  
when the range is replaced. Failure  
to take this precaution could result in  
tipping of the range and cause injury.  
Oven Interior (non-self clean models)  
With proper care, the porcelain enamel  
finish on the inside of the oven—top,  
bottom, sides, back and inside of the  
door—will stay new-looking for years.  
oven overnight. The ammonia fumes will  
help loosen the burned-on grease and food.  
If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner.  
Follow the package directions.  
Let the range cool before cleaning. We  
recommend that you wear rubber gloves  
when cleaning the range.  
Do not spray oven cleaner on the electrical controls  
and switches because it could cause a short circuit  
and result in sparking or fire.  
Soap and water will normally do the job.  
Heavy spattering or spillovers may require  
cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner.  
Soap-filled scouring pads may also be used.  
Do not allow a film from the cleaner to build up on  
the temperature sensor–it could cause the oven to  
heat improperly. (The sensor is located at the top of  
the oven.) Carefully wipe the sensor clean after each  
oven cleaning, being careful not to move the sensor  
as a change in its position could affect how the  
oven bakes.  
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.  
Do not spray any oven cleaner on the oven door,  
handles or any exterior surface of the oven, cabinets  
or painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage these  
surfaces.  
Household ammonia may make the  
cleaning job easier. Place 1/2 cup in a  
shallow glass or pottery container in a cold  
Lift-Off Oven Door  
The oven door is removable for cleaning.  
To clean the outside of the door:  
Do not lift the door by the handle. Make sure the  
oven is completely cool.  
IUse 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. Do not let water drip into the  
vent openings.  
Lift the door straight up and off the  
hinges.  
To remove the door, open it to the special  
stop position. Grasp firmly on each side and  
lift the door straight up and off the hinges.  
Do not place hands between the hinge and the oven  
door frame.  
ISpillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato  
sauces and basting materials containing  
acids may cause discoloration and should  
be wiped up immediately. When surface  
is cool, clean and rinse.  
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 and slowly lower it over  
both hinges.  
The gasket is designed with a gap  
at the bottom to allow for proper  
air circulation.  
IDo not use oven cleaners, cleaning  
powders or harsh abrasives on the  
outside of the door.  
Because the area inside the gasket is  
cleaned during the self-clean cycle,  
you do not need to clean this by hand  
on self-clean models.  
To clean the inside of the door:  
IDo not allow excess water to run into any  
holes or slots in the door.  
The area outside the gasket and the  
front frame can be cleaned with a  
soap-filled steel-wool pad, hot water  
and detergent. Rinse well with a  
vinegar and water solution.  
Do not rub or clean the door  
gasket—it has an extremely low  
resistance to abrasion.  
ISoap and water will normally do the job.  
Heavy spattering or spillovers may require  
cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner.  
Soap-filled, steel-wool pads may also  
be used.  
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.  
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.

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.  
Oven Shelves  
Clean the oven shelves with an abrasive  
cleanser or scouring pad. After cleaning,  
rinse the shelves with clean water and dry  
with a clean cloth.  
To make the shelves slide more easily, apply  
a small amount of vegetable oil or cooking  
oil to a paper towel and wipe the edges of  
the oven shelves with the paper towel.  
NOTE: Take the shelves out of the oven  
before you begin the self-clean cycle or  
they may discolor.  
Oven Light Replacement (on some models)  
CAUTION: Before replacing your oven light  
bulb, turn the oven light off and disconnect the  
electrical power to the range at the main fuse  
or circuit breaker panel.  
To replace the cover:  
Place it into groove of the light  
receptacle. Pull wire forward to the  
center of the cover until it snaps  
into place.  
Be sure to let the light cover and bulb cool  
completely.  
Connect electrical power to the range.  
Wire cover holder  
To remove the cover:  
Hold a hand under the cover so it  
doesn’t fall when released. With fingers  
of the same hand, firmly push back the  
wire cover holder. Lift off the cover.  
Do not remove any screws to remove the cover.

Control Panel and Knobs  
It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel  
after each use of the oven. Use a damp  
cloth to clean or rinse. For cleaning, use  
mild soap and water or a 50/50 solution of  
vinegar and water. For rinsing, use clean  
water. Polish dry with a soft cloth.  
Make sure the knobs are in the OFF  
positions and pull them straight off the  
stems for cleaning.  
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.  
Pull the knob straight off the stem.  
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid  
cleaners, plastic scouring pads or oven  
cleaners on the control panel—they will  
damage the finish.  
Replace the knobs in the OFF position  
to ensure proper placement.  
The control knobs may be removed for  
easier cleaning.

Care and cleaning of the range.  
Porcelain Enamel Cooktop (on some models)  
The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy  
but breakable if misused. This finish is  
acid-resistant. However, any acidic foods  
spilled (such as fruit juices, tomato or  
vinegar) should not be permitted to remain  
on the finish.  
If acids spill on the cooktop while it is hot,  
use a dry paper towel or cloth to wipe it up  
right away. When the surface has cooled,  
wash with soap and water. Rinse well.  
For other spills such as fat spatterings, wash  
with soap and water or cleansing powders  
after the surface has cooled. Rinse well.  
Polish with a dry cloth.  
Lift-Up Cooktop (on some models)  
Some models have a cooktop that can be  
lifted up for easier cleaning. The entire  
cooktop may be lifted up and supported  
in the up position.  
After cleaning under the cooktop with hot,  
mild soapy water and a clean cloth, lower  
the cooktop. Be careful not to pinch your  
fingers.  
Be sure all surface units are turned  
off before raising the cooktop.  
The surface units do not need to be  
removed; however, you may remove one to  
make raising the cooktop easier. There are  
two side supports that lock into position  
when the cooktop is lifted up.  
To lower the cooktop, push the rods back  
and gently lower the cooktop until it rests  
in place.  
NOTE: Do not lift the cooktop on radiant top models.  
Lifting the cooktop can lead to damage and improper  
operation of the range.  
Surface Units (on some models)  
Surface unit  
Be sure all the controls are turned to OFF and the  
surface units are cool before attempting to remove  
them.

To remove a surface unit:  
To remove the drip pans for cleaning, the  
surface units must be removed first.  
Guide the surface unit into place so it rests  
evenly.  
Do not immerse the surface units in  
liquids of any kind.  
Do not clean the surface units in a  
dishwasher.  
Do not bend the surface unit plug  
terminals.  
Lift the surface unit about 1 inch above the  
drip pan and pull it out.  
Do not lift the surface unit more than 1. If you do,  
it may not lie flat on the drip pan when you plug it  
back in.  
Repeated lifting of the surface unit more than  
1 inch above the drip pan can permanently  
damage the receptacle.  
Do not attempt to clean, adjust or in any  
way repair the plug-in receptacle.  
Drip Pans (if so equipped)  
Remove the surface units. Then lift out the  
drip pans.  
Clean the area under the drip pans often.  
Built-up soil, especially grease, may catch fire.  
Place them in a covered container. Add  
1/4 cup ammonia and let soak several  
hours or overnight. Wash, rinse well  
and dry.  
Do not cover the drip pans with foil. Using foil so  
close to the receptacle could cause shock, fire or  
damage to the range.  
NOTE: Do not clean the drip pans in a  
self-cleaning oven.  
The drip pans may also be cleaned in the  
dishwasher.

flooring, it should be installed on a 1/4″  
thick sheet of plywood (or similar material)  
as follows:  
Anti-Tip Bracket Kit  
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. This will allow the range to be  
moved for cleaning or servicing.

THROUGH NEUTRAL  
CAUTION:  
For personal safety,  
do not use an extension cord with this  
appliance. Remove house fuse or open circuit  
breaker before beginning installation.  
This appliance must be supplied with the  
proper voltage and frequency, and connected  
to an individual properly grounded branch  
circuit, protected by a circuit breaker or fuse  
having amperage as specified on the rating  
plate. The rating plate is located behind the  
storage drawer or warming drawer on the  
oven frame.  
Use only a 3-conductor or a 4-conductor  
UL-listed range cord. These cords may be  
provided with ring terminals on wire and  
a strain relief device.  
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.

We recommend you have the electrical wiring  
and hookup of your range connected by a  
qualified electrician. After installation, have  
the electrician show you where your main  
range disconnect is located.  
Because range terminals are not accessible  
after range is in position, flexible service  
conduit or cord must be used.  
NOTE: If conduit is being used, go to Step 3D  
and then to Step 6 or 7.  
Check with your local utilities for electrical  
codes which apply in your area. Failure to  
wire your oven according to governing codes  
could result in a hazardous condition. If there  
are no local codes, your range must be wired  
and fused to meet the requirements of the  
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70—  
Latest Edition. You can get a copy by writing:  
On some models, a filter capacitor may be  
connected between the black and white  
leads on the junction block.  
National Fire Protection Association  
Batterymarch Park  
Quincy, MA 02269  
Effective January 1, 1996, the National  
Electrical Code requires that new construction  
(not existing) utilize a 4-conductor connection  
to an electric range.  
When installing an electric range in new  
construction, follow Steps 3 and 5 for 4-wire  
connection.  
You must use a 3-wire, single-phase A.C.  
208Y/120 Volt or 240/120 Volt, 60 hertz  
electrical system. If you connect to aluminum  
wiring, properly installed connectors  
approved for use with aluminum wiring  
must be used.  
If the electrical service provided does not  
meet the above specifications, have a  
licensed electrician install an approved outlet.
