Introduction The Café, Profi le, and GE gas ranges have some of the following features: • Gas convection oven – Circulates air throughout the oven cavity ensuring better baking and roasting results. • Self-clean oven – Conveniently cleans the oven cavity without the need for scrubbing.
The mini-manual is taped to the back of the Z - 2000 V – NOV 2004 – G Z - 1988 range on GE and Profi le units and located in Z – DEC 2003 – F the rear, top, left corner on Café models. A – JAN 2002 –...
Installation Installation information is for reference only. See the When checking for proper operation of the installation instructions shipped with the product regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least 1 inch for complete details and before attempting to install greater than the operating (manifold) pressure as the range.
