Consumer Support 2 Troubleshooting Tips Safety Instructions ge.com 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. ANTI-TIP DEVICE To reduce the risk of tipping the range, the range must be secured by a properly installed anti-tip bracket. See installation instructions shipped with the bracket for complete details before attempting to install. To check if the bracket is installed and engaged properly, remove the storage drawer or kick panel and look underneath the range to see that the leveling leg is engaged in the bracket. On models without a storage drawer or kick panel, carefully tip the range forward. The bracket should stop the range within 4 inches. If it does not, the bracket must be reinstalled. If the range is pulled from the wall for any reason, always repeat this procedure to verify the range is properly secured by the anti-tip bracket. For free-standing or slide-in ranges, never completely remove the leveling legs or the range will not be secured to the anti-tip device properly. If you did not receive an anti-tip bracket with your purchase, call 1.800.626.8774 to receive one at no cost (in Canada, call 1.800.561.3344). For installation instructions of the bracket, visit GEAppliances.com (in Canada, GEAppliances.ca). Operating Instructions Installation Instructions Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support 3 Safety Instructions IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING. 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. 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. Operating Instructions SAFETY PRECAUTIONS When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following: Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner's Manual. Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with the provided installation instructions. Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your range unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician. Before performing any service, disconnect the range power supply at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker. Do not leave children alone---children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where an appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance. Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the door, storage drawer, or cooktop. They could damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe personal injury. Do not store flammable materials in an oven or near the cooktop. Installation Instructions CAUTION: Items of interest to children should not be stored in cabinets above a range or on the backsplash of a range-- children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured. Troubleshooting Tips SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Have the installer show you the location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off if necessary. Have your range 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 range installers or service technicians. Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your range unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other service should be referred to a qualified technician. Consumer Support 4 Safety Instructions ge.com 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. Be sure your range is correctly adjusted by a qualified service technician or installer for the type of gas (natural or LP) that is to be used. Your range can be converted for use with either type of gas. See the Installation of the range section. Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items stored in cabinets over the range. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with flame or hot oven surfaces and may cause severe burns. Do not store flammable materials in an oven, a range drawer or near a cooktop. Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the range. Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface burner 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. 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. Flame in the upper oven or lower oven drawer can be smothered completely by closing the oven door or drawer and turning the control to off, or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher. Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool before touching them or leaving them where children can reach them. 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 lower oven drawer or kick panel. Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can lead to damage and improper operation of the range. Operating Instructions 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. After prolonged use of a range, high floor temperatures may result and many floor coverings will not withstand this kind of use. Never install the range over vinyl tile or linoleum that cannot withstand such type of use. Never install it directly over interior kitchen carpeting. Do not leave children alone or unattended where a range is hot or in operation. They could be seriously burned. Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the oven door, drawer or cooktop. They could damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe personal injury. Items of interest to children should not be stored in cabinets above a range or on the backsplash of a range--children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured. For your safety, never use your appliance for warming or heating the room. Large scratches or impacts to glass doors can lead to broken or shattered glass. Installation Instructions Troubleshooting Tips CAUTION: Consumer Support 5 Safety Instructions IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING. WARNING! SURFACE BURNERS 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. Always use the LITE position when igniting the top burners and make sure the burners have ignited. Never leave the surface burners unattended at high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire. Adjust the top burner flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous. 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 in place of a pot holder. When using glass cookware, make sure it is designed for top-of-range cooking. To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of flammable materials a ...
