GE JGBP40, EGR3001 Save These Instructions, Clean only parts listed in this Use and Care Guide

•If a combination of oils or fats will be used in frying, stir together before heating or as fats melt slowly.

•Use proper pan size— avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to properly contain food and avoid boilovers and spillovers and large enough to cover burner grate. 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.

•Keep all plastics away from the top burners.

• Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop— they may melt if left too close to the vent.

Vent appearance and location vary.

• 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.

•To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be certain that the controls for all burners are at the off position and all grates are cool before attempting to remove them.

•When flaming foods are under the hood, turn the fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread the flames.

•If range is located near a window, do not hang long curtains that could blow over the top burners and create a fire hazard.

•When a pilot goes out (on standing pilot models), you will detect a faint odor of gas as your signal to relight the pilot. When relighting the pilot, make sure burner controls are in the off position, and follow instructions in this book to relight.

•If you smell gas, and you have already made sure pilots are lit (on standing pilot models), turn off the gas to the range and call a qualified service technician. Never use an open flame to locate a leak.

Baking, Broiling and Roasting

•Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items stored in the oven can ignite.

•Place the oven shelves in the desired position while the oven is cool.

•Stand away from the range when opening the door of a hot oven. The hot air and steam that escapes can cause burns to hands, face and eyes.

•Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

•Pulling out the shelf to the shelf-stop is a convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a precaution against burns from touching hot surfaces of the door or oven walls. The lowest position “R” is not designed to slide.

•Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury.

•Do not use aluminum foil anywhere in the oven except as described in this guide. Misuse could result in a fire hazard or damage to the range.

•Never use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. Improper use of foil could start a fire.

•When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.

•Use only glass cookware that is recommended for use in gas ovens.

•Always remove the broiler pan from range as soon as you finish broiling. Grease left in the pan can catch fire if oven is used without removing the grease from the broiler pan.

•When broiling, if meat is too close to the flame, the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to prevent excessive flare-ups.

•Make sure the broiler pan is in place correctly to reduce the possibility of grease fires.

•If you should have a grease fire in the broiler pan, turn off oven control, and keep broiler drawer and oven door closed to contain fire until it burns out.

Self-Cleaning Oven

•Clean only parts listed in this Use and Care Guide.

•Do not clean door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

•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.

•Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the shelves, the broiler pan and grid and other cookware.

•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.
