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.  
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  
Have the installer show you the location of the oven gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off if necessary.  
I Have your oven installed and properly  
grounded by a qualified installer, in  
accordance with the Installation Instructions.  
Any adjustment and service should be  
performed only by qualified gas oven  
installers or service technicians.  
I Be sure your oven is correctly adjusted by a  
qualified service technician or installer for  
the type of gas (natural or LP) that is to be  
used. Your oven can be converted for use  
with either type of gas. See the Installation  
Instructions.  
I Do not attempt to repair or replace any  
part of your oven unless it is specifically  
recommended in this manual. All other  
service should be referred to a qualified  
technician.  
I
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 Be sure all packaging materials are removed  
from the oven before operating it to prevent  
fire or smoke damage should the packaging  
material ignite.  
I Do not touch 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 any interior area of the oven;  
allow sufficient time for cooling first.  
I Be sure the oven is securely installed in a  
cabinet that is firmly attached to the house  
structure. Never allow anyone to climb, sit,  
stand or hang on the oven door.  
I Do not leave children alone or unattended  
where an oven is hot or in operation. They  
could be seriously burned.  
Potentially hot surfaces include the oven  
vent openings, surfaces near the opening  
and crevices around the door.  
I Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or  
hang on the oven door or storage drawer.  
They could damage the oven.  
Remember: The inside surfaces of an oven  
may be hot when the door is opened.

children should not be stored in cabinets  
above an oven—children climbing on the  
oven to reach items could be seriously  
injured.  
I Do not use water on grease fires. Smother  
fire or flame or use a multi-purpose dry  
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.  
I Flame in the oven can be smothered  
completely by closing the oven door and  
turning the oven off or by using a multi-  
purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire  
extinguisher.  
WARNING:  
NEVER use this  
appliance as a space heater to heat or  
warm the room. Doing so may result  
in carbon monoxide poisoning and  
overheating of the oven.  
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. Such cloths can catch fire on  
a hot burner.  
I For your safety, never use your appliance  
for warming or heating the room.  
I Never wear loose fitting or hanging  
garments while using the appliance. Be  
careful when reaching for items stored in  
cabinets over the oven. Flammable material  
could be ignited if brought in contact with  
flame or hot oven surfaces and may cause  
severe burns.  
I Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot  
holders and other linens a safe distance  
from your oven.  
I Always keep wooden and plastic utensils  
and canned food a safe distance away from  
your oven.

Using the oven.  
Before you begin…  
Look at the controls. Be sure you  
understand how to set them properly.  
NOTES:  
I You may notice a “burning” or “oily” smell  
the first few times you turn your oven on.  
This is normal in a new oven and will  
disappear in a short time. To speed the  
process, set a Self-Clean cycle for 4 hours.  
See the Using the Self-Cleaning Oven  
section.  
Check the oven interior. Look at  
the shelves. Take a practice run at  
removing and replacing them  
properly to give sure, sturdy support.  
Read over the information and tips  
that follow.  
I A cooling fan may automatically turn on  
and off to cool internal parts. This is normal,  
and the fan may continue to run even after  
the oven is turned off.  
Keep this guide handy so you can  
refer to it, especially during the first  
weeks of using your new oven.  
Automatic Ignition  
After the oven reaches the selected  
temperature, the oven burner cycles off  
completely, then on with a full flame to  
keep the oven temperature controlled.  
The oven burner is lit by electric ignition.  
To light the burner, do the following:  
Touch the pad for the desired  
function. Then touch the + or –  
pad until the desired temperature is  
displayed. The burner should ignite  
within 60 seconds.  
Oven Vent  
When the oven is on, heated air moves  
through a vent behind the grille.  
The vent is needed for proper air flow in  
the oven and good baking results. Do not  
block this vent. Doing so may cause oven  
failure or fire.  
The vent area could get hot during  
oven use.  
Power Outage  
The oven burner will not light in the event  
of an electrical power outage.  
CAUTION: Do not attempt to light it manually  
with a match.

Oven Shelves  
Bump  
The shelves are designed with stop-locks  
so that, when placed correctly on the shelf  
supports, they will stop before coming  
completely out of the oven and will not tilt  
when you are removing food from them or  
placing food on them.  
To remove a shelf from the oven, pull the  
shelf toward you, tilt the front end upward  
and pull the shelf out.  
To replace, place the shelf on the shelf

the shelf and push it all the way back.  
Shelf Positions  
The oven has 4 shelf supports, identified  
in this illustration as A (bottom), B, C and  
D (top).  
Shelf positions for cooking are suggested in  
the Baking, Roasting and Broiling sections.  
Oven Moisture  
As your oven heats up, the changing  
temperature 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.

when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and  
breads. For most casseroles and roasts,  
preheating is not necessary. For ovens  
without a preheat indicator light or tone,  
preheat 10 minutes. After the oven is  
preheated, place the food in the oven  
as quickly as possible to prevent heat  
from escaping.  
Aluminum Foil  
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch  
a spillover by placing it on a lower shelf  
several inches below the food.  
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.

Baking Pans  
Pan Placement  
Use the proper baking pan. The type of  
finish on the pan determines the amount  
of browning that will occur.  
For even cooking and proper browning,  
there must be enough room for air  
circulation in the oven. Baking results will  
be better if baking pans are centered as  
much as possible rather than being placed  
to the front or to the back of the oven.  
I Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat  
resulting in a browner, crisper crust.  
Use this type for pies.  
Pans should not touch each other or the  
walls of the oven. Allow 1- to 112-inch space  
between pans as well as from the back of  
the oven, the door and the sides. If you  
need to use two shelves, stagger the pans so  
one is not directly above the other.  
I Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect  
heat, resulting in a lighter, more delicate  
browning. Cakes and cookies require this  
type of pan.  
I Glass baking dishes also absorb heat.  
When baking in glass baking dishes, the  
temperature may need to be reduced  
by 25°F.  
I If you are using dark non-stick pans,  
you may find that you need to reduce  
the oven temperature 25°F to prevent  
over-browning.  
Cookies  
When baking cookies, flat cookie sheets  
(without sides) produce better-looking  
cookies. Cookies baked in a jelly roll pan  
(short sides all around) may have darker  
edges and pale or light browning  
may occur.  
Do not use a cookie sheet so large that it  
touches the walls or the door of the oven.  
Never entirely cover a shelf with a large  
cookie sheet.  
For best results during baking, use only  
one cookie sheet in the oven at a time.  
Pies  
Cakes  
For best results, bake pies in dark, rough  
or dull pans to produce a browner, crisper  
crust. Frozen pies in foil pans should be  
placed on an aluminum cookie sheet for  
baking since the shiny foil pan reflects  
heat away from the pie crust; the cookie  
sheet helps retain it.  
When baking cakes, warped or bent pans  
will cause uneven baking results and poorly  
shaped products. A cake baked in a pan  
larger than the recipe recommends will  
usually be crisper, thinner and drier than it  
should be. If baked in a pan smaller than  
recommended, it may be undercooked  
and batter may overflow. Check the recipe  
to make sure the pan size used is the one  
recommended.  
Peeking  
Set the timer for the estimated cooking  
time and do not open the door to look at  
your food. Most recipes provide minimum  
and maximum baking times such as “bake  
30-40 minutes.”  
DO NOT open the door to check until the  
minimum time. Opening the oven door  
frequently during cooking allows heat to  
escape and makes baking times longer.  
Your baking results may also be affected.

Adjust the oven thermostat—Do it yourself!  
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 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 2 seconds until  
the display shows SF.  
Touch the BAKE pad. A two-digit  
number shows in the display.  
The oven temperature can be adjusted  
up as much as 35°F or down as much  
as 35°F. Touch the + pad to increase  
the temperature in 1-degree  
increments. Touch the pad to  
decrease the temperature in  
1-degree increments.  
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.  
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.

Using the roasting feature.  
ge.com  
Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven. Roasting temperatures,  
which should be low and steady, keep spattering to a minimum.  
Before You Begin Roasting…  
Roasting is really a baking procedure used  
for meats. Therefore, the oven controls are  
set for Baking or Timed Baking. (You may  
hear a slight clicking sound, indicating the  
oven is working properly.) Timed Baking  
will turn the oven on and off automatically.  
To compensate for this rise in temperature,  
you may want to remove the roast sooner  
(at 5° to 10°F less than the temperature in  
the Roasting Guide).  
REMEMBER: Food will continue to cook in  
the hot oven and therefore should be removed  
when the desired internal temperature has

temperature will rise about 5° to 10°F  
during the recommended standing time of  
10 to 20 minutes. This allows roasts to firm  
up and makes them easier to carve.  
How to Set Your Oven for Roasting  
Place the shelf in A or B position.  
No preheating is necessary.  
Check the weight of the meat. Place  
the meat fat side up, or poultry breast  
side up, on roasting grid in a shallow  
pan. The melting fat will baste the  
meat. Select a pan as close to the size  
of the meat as possible. (A broiler pan  
with grid is a good pan for this.)  
Touch the BAKE pad.  
To change the oven temperature during the  
roasting cycle, touch the BAKE pad and set  
the new temperature.

Questions and Answers  
Q. Is it necessary to check for doneness  
with a meat thermometer?  
Q. Do I need to preheat my oven each  
time I cook a roast or poultry?  
A. Checking the finished internal  
temperature at the completion of  
cooking time is recommended.  
Temperatures are shown in the  
Roasting Guide. For roasts over 8 lbs.  
check with thermometer at half-hour  
intervals after half the cooking time  
has passed.  
A. It is not necessary to preheat your  
oven.  
Q. When buying a roast, are there any  
special tips that would help me cook  
it more evenly?  
A. Yes. Buy a roast as even in thickness as  
possible, or buy rolled roasts.  
Q. Can I seal the sides of my foil “tent”  
when roasting a turkey?  
Q. Why is my roast crumbling when I try  
to carve it?  
A. Sealing the foil will steam the meat.  
Leaving it unsealed allows the air to  
circulate and brown the meat.  
A. Roasts are easier to slice if allowed to  
cool 10 to 20 minutes after removing  
them from the oven. Be sure to cut  
across the grain of the meat.

To test if your broiler is working properly:  
Cover an entire broiler pan grid with bread.  
Place any broiler pan on the third shelf  
from the bottom. Broil until the bread is  
golden brown. If you have browning on  
both sides of the pan, your broiler is  
working properly. If toast browns only on  
one side of the pan, call for service.  
Position any broiler pan on a shelf on the  
recommended shelf position as suggested  
in the Broiling Guide. Place the sump area  
of a broiler pan to the front of the door.  
NOTE: Always broil with the oven door closed.

Questions and Answers  
Q. If my oven clock is not set to the  
correct time of day, can I still  
self-clean my oven?  
Q. Should there be any odor during the  
cleaning?  
A. Yes, there will be an odor during the  
first few cleanings. Failure to wipe  
out excessive soil might also cause  
a strong odor when cleaning.  
A. If the clock is not set to the correct  
time of day you will not be able to  
set a delay-clean cycle to end at a  
specific time.  
Q. What causes the hair-like lines on the  
enameled surface of my oven?  
Q. Can I use commercial oven cleaners  
on any part of my self-cleaning oven?  
A. This is a normal condition, resulting  
from heating and cooling during  
cleaning. These lines do not affect  
how your oven performs.  
A. No cleaners or coatings should be  
used around any part of this oven.  
If you do use them and do not  
thoroughly rinse the oven with water,  
wiping it absolutely clean afterwards,  
the residue can scar the oven surface  
and damage metal parts the next time  
the oven is automatically cleaned.  
Q. Why do I have ash left in my oven  
after cleaning?  
A. Some types of soil will leave a deposit  
which is ash. It can be removed with  
a damp sponge or cloth.  
Q. What should I do if excessive smoking  
occurs during cleaning?  
Q. My oven shelves do not slide easily.  
What is the matter?  
A. This is caused by excessive soil. Turn  
the oven off. Open the windows to  
rid the room of smoke. Wait until  
the oven has cooled and the words  
“LOCKED DOOR” are off in the  
display. Wipe up the excess soil and  
reset the clean cycle.  
A. If you have left the oven shelves in  
the oven during many cleanings,  
the shelves will lose their luster and  
become hard to slide. To make  
shelves slide more easily wipe the  
shelf supports with cooking oil.  
Q. I have left my oven shelves in the  
oven during the self-clean cycle and  
they have become gray. Is this  
normal?  
Q. Is the “crackling” or “popping” sound  
I hear during cleaning normal?  
A. Yes. This is the sound of the metal  
heating and cooling during both the  
cooking and cleaning functions.  
A. Yes. After the self-clean cycle, the  
shelves will lose some luster and  
discolor to a deep gray color.

How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape  
Carefully grasp a corner of the protective  
shipping film with your fingers and slowly  
peel it from the appliance surface. Do not  
use any sharp items to remove the film.  
Remove all of the film before using the  
appliance for the first time.  
To assure no damage is done to the  
finish of the product, the safest way to  
remove the adhesive from packaging tape  
on new appliances is an application of a  
household liquid dishwashing detergent.  
Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak.  
NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all  
parts. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.  
Removable Storage Drawer  
The storage drawer is a good place to store  
cookware and bakeware. Do not store  
plastics and flammable material in the  
drawer.  
To remove:  
Pull the drawer straight out and lift over  
the guide stops.  
To replace:  
Lift over the guide stops and slide the  
drawer into place.  
Do not overload the storage drawer. If the  
drawer is too heavy, it may slip off the track  
when opened. To open the drawer, grasp  
the center of the handle and pull straight  
out.  
To clean both the inside and the outside:  
Wipe with soap and water. Rinse well.  
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.  
Do not use cleansing powders or harsh  
abrasives which may scratch the surface.

Never block the vents (air openings) of the  
oven. They provide the air inlet and outlet  
that are necessary for the oven to operate  
properly with correct combustion.  
Air openings are located under the control  
panel, above the door.

Care and cleaning of the oven.  
Oven Light Replacement  
CAUTION: Before replacing your oven light bulb,  
Do not remove any screws to remove  
the cover.  
disconnect the electrical power to the oven at the  
main fuse or circuit breaker panel. Be sure to let the  
light cover and bulb cool completely.  
Do not touch hot bulb with a wet  
cloth. Replace bulb with a 40-watt  
household appliance bulb.  
The oven light bulb is covered with a  
removable glass cover that is held in place  
with a bail-shaped wire. Remove the oven  
door, if desired, to reach the cover easily.  
Wire cover holder  
To replace cover:  
Place it into the groove of the light  
receptacle. Pull the wire forward to the  
center of the cover until it snaps into  
place. When in place, the wire holds  
the cover firmly. Be certain the wire is  
in the depression in the center of the  
cover.  
To remove:  
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.  
Connect electrical power to the oven.  
Removable Oven Bottom  
The oven bottom has a porcelain enamel  
finish. To make cleaning easier, protect the  
oven bottom from excessive spillovers by  
placing a cookie sheet on the shelf below  
the shelf you are cooking on. This is  
particularly important when baking a fruit  
pie or other foods with a high acid content.  
Hot fruit fillings or other foods that are  
highly acidic (such as tomatoes, sauerkraut,  
and sauces with vinegar or lemon juice)  
may cause pitting and damage to the  
porcelain enamel surface and should be  
wiped up immediately.  
The oven bottom can be removed to clean large  
spills, and to enable you to reach the oven burner.  
Oven bottom must be replaced before using  
the self-clean cycle.  
Unlock  
Lock  
To remove:  
Slide the tab at the center front of  
the oven bottom to the left.  
Lift the oven bottom up and out.  
To replace:  
Slip the oven bottom into the oven  
so the tabs in the rear of the oven  
bottom fit into the slots in the  
oven back.  
We don’t recommend using aluminum  
foil on the oven bottom. It can affect air  
flow if the holes are blocked and it can  
concentrate heat at the bottom of the oven,  
resulting in poor baking performance.  
Lower the front of the oven bottom  
into place and slide the front tab to  
the right to lock the oven bottom  
into place.  
To clean up spillovers, use soap and water,  
an abrasive cleaner or soap-filled scouring  
pad. Rinse well to remove any soap before  
self-cleaning.  
Oven Shelves  
Clean the oven shelves with an abrasive  
cleanser or steel wool. 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: The shiny, silver-colored oven shelves  
(on some models) may be cleaned in the self-  
cleaning oven. However, the shelves will darken in  
color, lose their luster and become hard to slide if  
cleaned during the self-cleaning cycle.

Control Panel  
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.  
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.  
Lift-Off Oven Door  
The oven door is removable, but it is heavy. You may To clean the inside of the door:  
need help removing and replacing the door. Do not  
lift the door by the handle. This can cause the glass  
to break or can cause damage to the door.  
I Do not allow excess water to run into  
any holes or slots in the door.  
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.  
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.  
NOTES:  
I The area outside the gasket can  
be cleaned with a soap-filled plastic  
scouring pad.  
I Be careful not to place hands between the hinge  
and the oven door frame as the hinge could snap  
back and pinch fingers.  
Lift the door straight up and off the  
hinges.  
To clean the outside of the door:  
I While working in the oven area, cover the hinges  
with towels or empty paper towel rolls to prevent  
pinched fingers and chipping the porcelain  
enamel on the frame.  
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.  
The gasket is designed with a gap  
at the bottom to allow for proper air  
circulation.  
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.  
Do not rub or clean the door  
gasket—it has an extremely low  
resistance to abrasion.  
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 Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing  
powders or harsh abrasives on the  
outside of the door.
