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. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Have the installer show you the location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off if necessary.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ■ Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path and out of drafty locations to prevent poor air circulation. ■ Be sure all packaging materials are removed from the range before operating it to prevent fire or smoke damage should the packaging material ignite. Operating Instructions Safety Instructions IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
SURFACE BURNERS Operating Instructions 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. Safety Instructions ge.
ELECTRIC WARMING DRAWER (on some models) ■ 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. ■ Do not use the warming drawer to dry newspapers. If overheated, they can catch on fire. ■ Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the warming drawer when not in use. ■ Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in or near your warming drawer.
OVEN Stand away from the range when opening the door of a hot oven. The hot air and steam that escape can cause burns to hands, face and eyes. SELF-CLEANING THE OVEN ■ Do not clean the door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket. ■ If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have it serviced by a qualified technician. ■ Do not use oven cleaners.

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 tightfitting lids when cooking with minimum amounts of water. Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel of some cookware may melt. Follow cookware manufacturer’s recommendations for cooking methods. Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for either surface or oven cooking. It conducts heat very slowly and cools very slowly.

How to Set an Immediate Start and Automatic Stop The oven will turn on immediately and cook for a selected length of time.
ge.com For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal food temperature is the best test for doneness. The temperature probe takes the guesswork out of cooking foods to the exact doneness you want. Use of probes other than the one provided with this product may result in damage to the probe. Cable Plug Use the handles of the probe and plug when inserting and removing them from the food and outlet. Handles ■ To avoid damaging your probe, do not use tongs to pull on the cable when removing it.
Safety Instructions Using the convection oven. (on some models) The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened. DO NOT leave 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. Grid ■ Preheat the oven. See the Using the Oven– Preheating and Pan Placement section.
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. Paper and Plastic Any type of cookware will work in your convection oven. However, metal pans heat the fastest and are recommended for convection baking. ■ Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake faster than shiny pans. ■ Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.
How to Set the Oven for Convection Roasting when Using the Probe (on some models) For best results when roasting large turkeys and roasts, we recommend using the probe included in the convection oven.
