Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Care and Cleaning Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support Do not place foods directly on the oven floor. GEAppliances.com (U.S.) www.GEAppliances.ca (Canada) Preheating and Pan Placement Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature. The control will beep when the oven is preheated and the display will show your set temperature. The preheat time will vary depending on the temperature setting. Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible. If baking with more than one pan, place the pans so each has at least 1″ (2.5 cm) to 11⁄2″ (3.8 cm) of air space around it. Aluminum Foil Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of the oven. Never entirely cover a rack 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 rack several inches below the food. 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. Oven Vent Your oven is vented through one vent located toward the rear of the range. Do not block this vent 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. ■ Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop may become hot if left too close to the vent. ■ Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop- they may melt if left too close to the vent. ■ 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. ■ Metal items will become very hot if they are left on the cooktop, and could cause burns. Power Outage CAUTION: Do not make any attempt to operate the electric ignition oven during an electrical power failure. The oven or broiler cannot be lit during a power failure. Gas will not flow unless the glow bar is hot. If the oven is in use when a power failure occurs, the oven burner shuts off and cannot be re-lit until power is restored. This is because the flow of gas is automatically stopped and will not resume when power is restored until the glow bar has reached operating temperature. 13

Aluminum Foil
Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of
the oven.
Never entirely cover a rack 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
rack several inches below the food.
Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.
Preheating is necessary for good results
when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and
breads.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature.
The control will beep when the oven is preheated
and the display will show your set temperature.
The preheat time will vary depending on the
temperature setting.
Baking results will be better if baking
pans are centered in the oven as much
as possible. If baking with more than one
pan, place the pans so each has at least 1
″
(2.5
cm
)
to 1
1
±
2
″
(3.8 cm) of air space
around it.
Do not place foods directly on the
oven floor.
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.
Power Outage
CAUTION:
Do not make any
attempt to operate the electric ignition oven
during an electrical power failure.
The oven or broiler cannot be lit during
a power failure. Gas will not flow unless
the glow bar is hot.
If the oven is in use when a power
failure occurs, the oven burner shuts
off and cannot be re-lit until power is
restored. This is because the flow of gas
is automatically stopped and will not
resume when power is restored until
the glow bar has reached operating
temperature.
Oven Vent
Your oven is vented through one vent
located toward the rear of the range. Do
not block this vent 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.
■
Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop may
become hot if left too close to the vent.
■
Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop—
they may melt if left too close to the vent.
■
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.
■
Metal items will become very hot if they are
left on the cooktop, and could cause burns.
