    • Color Finish: Stainless steel
    • Product Height: 47 inches (The out of box height of the item. Height is measured as the vertical distance from the bottom of the item to the top as it would be primarily used or placed.)
    • Product Width: 30 inches (The out of box width of the item. Width is measured as the horizontal distance from one side of the item to the other as it would be primarily used or placed.)

    • Interior Oven Width: 23 3/4 inches
    • Range Type: Freestanding (Freestanding ranges have finished sides and a backguard where the oven controls are located; this style allows for the most versatility in placement. Slide-in ranges may have unfinished sides and are wider at the top to overlap the countertop on each side, allowing for a built-in appearance. Drop-in ranges are also known for their built-in style and are designed to fit custom cabinetry or countertops.)
    • Oven Cleaning Method: Self-cleaning high heat (There are several ways to clean the inside of your oven. Depending on the model, it might require manual cleaning or have a self-clean function. Self-clean functions use either high heat or steam to break down grease and food debris within the cooking cavity.)

Q: What is the maximum temperature setting for the oven, and does it have a self-cleaning function?

A: The maximum temperature setting for the oven is 500 degrees Fahrenheit. Yes, it does have a self-cleaning function.

Q: Does this range come with any pre-programmed cooking settings or modes to assist with specific recipes?

A: Yes, this GE range comes with various cooking modes to assist with specific recipes. These modes include Bake, Broil Hi/Lo, and Self Clean. Refer to the Cooking Guide section of the user manual for recommendations for specific foods.

Q: How does the cooktop surface material, which is porcelain, compare to other materials in terms of durability and maintenance?

A: Porcelain enamel is durable and breakable if misused. It is acid-resistant, but acidic food spills should be cleaned immediately to prevent permanent damage. Regular cleaning with ceramic cooktop cleaner and a non-scratch cleaning pad is recommended to maintain its appearance.

Q: How does the Sensi-Temp Technology in this GE electric range enhance cooking safety?

A: The Sensi-Temp Technology in the GE electric range enhances cooking safety by reducing the risk of cooktop oil and grease fires.

Q: How does the 5.0 cubic feet oven capacity of this range compare to other models, and what are the benefits of having a larger oven?

A: The 5.0 cubic feet oven capacity of this GE range is larger than most standard ovens, which typically range from 3.0 to 4.5 cubic feet. This larger capacity allows you to cook more dishes at once, which can be especially useful for large families or those who frequently entertain. Additionally, a larger oven can provide more even heat distribution, which can improve the quality of your cooking.

Q: How does the control panel design, with front controls, contribute to the ease of use of this range?

A: The front control panel design of the GE 5.0 Cu. Ft. Freestanding Electric Range simplifies the user experience by placing all essential controls within easy reach. This user-friendly layout allows for effortless access to stovetop and oven settings, enhancing overall convenience and ease of use.

Q: How does the Sabbath Mode feature work, and what are its benefits for users who observe the Sabbath?

A: The Sabbath Mode disables tones, oven lights, and delays display changes by about 30 seconds to one minute. It allows only continuous or timed baking. To set the Sabbath Mode, press and hold the Bake and Broil pads simultaneously for three seconds. This feature benefits users who observe the Sabbath by adhering to religious restrictions on certain activities during that time.

    GE electric coil stove

    I love getting back to a coil stove! I got tired of treating the glass top stove with kid gloves. Breakage was always a concern especially with cast iron pans. Cleaning doesn’t require special mild cleansers. I don’t have any problems with the sensitip coil burners and maintaining heat and it’s pretty. Glad I switched back.

    New Stove!

    So far, so good. It's nothing fancy, but has everything you need in a stove to be functional. Looks nice and I love the feature on the burners to level out pans.
