could burst, causing an injury.

■ Keep the oven vent unobstructed.

■ Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

while the oven is cool. If racks must be handled

when hot, do not let pot holder contact the

heating elements.

■ When using cooking or roasting bags in the

oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.

■ Pulling out the rack to the stop-lock is a

convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also

a precaution against burns from touching

hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.

WARNING!

OVEN

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind

should be used in or around any part of the oven. Residue from oven cleaners will damage the inside

of the oven when the self-clean cycle is used.

■ 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.

■ Before self-cleaning the oven, remove shiny,

silver-colored oven racks (on some models)

and all other cookware.

■ Gray porcelain-coated oven racks (on some

models) may be cleaned in the oven during

the self-clean cycle.

■ Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before

starting the self-cleaning operation.

■ If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn

the oven off and disconnect the power supply.

Have it serviced by a qualified technician.

■ Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s Manual.

SELF-CLEANING UPPER OVEN

■ 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 in the

WARM setting of the lower oven drawer.

■ Do not use the drawer to dry newspapers.

If overheated, they can catch on fire.

■ Do not leave paper products, plastics, canned

food or combustible materials in the drawer.

■ Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in or

near your drawer.

■ Do not warm food in the drawer for more than

two hours.

■ Never place, use or self-clean the lower oven

drawer pan in the upper oven.

■

Do not touch the heating element or the interior

surface of the drawer.

These surfaces may be

hot enough to burn.

REMEMBER:

The inside surface of the drawer

may be hot when the drawer is opened.

■ 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.

■ 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.

What is pyrolysis? Verified

Some ovens are equipped with a pyrolysis function. This is a cleaning system that burns dirt and fat in the oven by using very high temperatures. After pyrolysis, all the dirt will have turned to ash and can be easily removed. If the oven has a pyrolysis function, it is advisable to use it 3 to 4 times a year to keep the oven clean.

Can I connect a range to an extension cord? Verified

Appliances that require large amounts of power, like a range, can not be connected to all extension cords. See what the power usage of the range is, which is indicated in Watt, and check if the extension cord can handle this. There are extension cords with thicker cables that are made to handle larger appliances.

When I use the oven there often food remains that fall on the bottom, causing smoke. How can I prevent this? Verified

Many ovens come with both a grid and a baking tray. When food is prepared on the grid, the baking tray can be placed on the bottom to prevent food remains from burning and causing smoke.

Can I prepare several items simultaneously by using more grill trays? Verified

Technically this is possible. However, it depends on the type of food if you need to adjust the preparation time or swap the trays halfway during the preparation.

Can my GE appliance also run on a generator? Verified

In general this is possible, but always check this with the manufacturer of your generator. Also be aware that some appliances require a lot of power when starting up (ie: refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners). It's also a good idea to use a generator that is voltage regulated and surge protected. When in doubt you should contact the manufacturer.
