IMPORTANTSAFETYNOtiCE
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 cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off a very small amount of carbon monoxide during
the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation
fan or hood.

RADIANTSURFACEUNITS
Use proper pan size--select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit
heating element. Theuse of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct
contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will
also improve efficiency.
Never leave the surface units unattended at
high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking
and _easy spillovers that may catch on fire.
_ Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers are
suitable for cooktop service; others may
break because of the sudden change in
temperature.
@To minimize the possibility of burns,
ignition of flammable materials and
spillage, the handle of a container should
be turned toward the center of the range
without extending over nearby surface units.
Ahvays turn the surface units off before
removing cookware.
@When preparing flaming foods under the
hood, turn the fan on.
@ Use care when touching the cooktop. The
glass surface of the cookmp _411retain heat
after the controls have been turned off.
@ Keep an eye on foods being flied at high or
medium high heat settings.
N Foods tor fiTing should be as &T as
possible. Frost on fiozen toods or moisture
on fi-esh foods can cause hot fat to bubble
up and over the sides of the pan.
N Use little fat tor effective shallow or deep
fat flying. Filling the pan too fldl of fat can
cause spillovers when food is added.
@ ff a combination of oils or fats will be used
in flying, stir together before heating, or as
fats melt slowly.
@ Ahvays heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
@ Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
N Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The
cooktop can be scratched with items such
as sharp instruments, rings or other
jewelry, and rivets on clothing.
Do not operate the radiant sur[ace units if
the glass is broken. Spillovers or cleaning
solution may penetrate a broken cooktop
and create a risk of electrical shock.
Contact a qualified technician immediately
should your glass cooktop become broken.
N Never use the glass cooktop surface as a
cutting board.
@ Do not place or store items that can melt or
catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when
it is not being used.
N Be carefld when placing spoons or other
stirring utensils on glass cooktop surface
when it is in use. They may become hot and
could cause burns.
@ Clean the cooktop with caution. Ifa wet
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a
hot sm{hce unit, be carefifl m avoid steam
burns. Some cleaners can produce noxious
fimms if applied m a hot surface.
NOTE: We recommend thatyou avoid
wiping aW surface unit areas until they
have cooled and the indicator light has
gone off. Sugar spills are the exception to
this. Please see the Cleaning the glass
cooktop section.
N When the cooktop is cool, use only the
recommended cleaning cream to clean
the cooktop.
@ To aw)id possible damage to the cooking
surface, do not apply cleaning cream to
the glass surface when it is hot.
@Alter cleaning, use a &Y cloth or paper
towel to remove all cleaning cream residue.
N Read and follow all instructions and
warnings on the cleaning cream labels.

The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.
Check pans for flat bottoms by
using astraight edge.
Stainless Steel:
recommended
Aluminum:
heavyweight recommended
Good conductMty. Aluminum residues
sometimes appear as scratches on the
cooktop, but can be removed if cleaned
immediately. Because of its low melting
point, thin weight aluminum should not
be used.
CopperBottom:
recommended
Copper may leave residues which can
appem" as scratches. The residues can be
removed, as long as the cooktop is
cleaned immediamly. However, do not let
these pots boil d U. Overheated metal can
bond to glass cookmps. An overheated
copper bottom pot will leave a residue
that will permanently stain the cooktop
if not removed immediately.
Glass-ceramic:
usable,butnotrecommended
Poor perfbmlance. May scratch the
surfhce.
Stoneware:
usable,butnotrecommended
Poor peffommnce. May scratch dm
surthce.
Home Canning Tips:
Be sure the canner is centered over the
suriace unit.
Make sure the canner is flat on tim
bottom.
Use recipes and procedures ii'om
reputable sources. These are available
ii'om manuiacmrers such as Ball®and
Ken `®and the DeparUnent of Agriculture
Exmnsion Service.
To prevent bums from steam or heat, use
caution when canning.
Pans with rounded, curved, ridged
or warped bottoms are not
recommended.
Porcelain EnamelCoveredCastIron:
recommended
As long as the cookware is covered
completely _4th porcelain enamel, this
cookware is recommended. Caution is
recommended for cast iron cookware
that is not complemly covered _4th
smooth porcelain enamel, asit may
scratch the glass ceramic cookmp.
Use only fiat-bottomed woks.
Wok Cooking
Werecommendthatyouuseonlya flat-bottomed

Do not use round-bottonl woks. You
could be seriously burned if the wok
tipped over.

Note: Flat-bottomed canners are
required for glass cooktops.
www.GEAppliances.com
Observe the Following Points in Canning
Pots that extend beyond i inch
of the surface unit's circle are not
recommended for most surface
cooking. However, when canning
with water-bath or pressure canner,
larger-diameter pots may be used. This
is because boiling water temperatures
(even under pressure) are not harmflll
to the cooktop surfhces surrounding
the surface units.
[] Remember that canning is a
process that generates large
amounts of steam. To avoid burns
fi'om steam or heat, be carefld
when canning.
NOTE:If your househas low voltage,
canning may take longer than expected,
even though directions have been
carefully followed. Theprocess time will
be shortened by:
HO_gEVER, DO NOT USE LARGE
DIAMETER CANNERS OR OTHER
LARGE DIAMETER POTS FOR
FRYING OR BOILING FOODS
OTHER THAN WATER. Most syrup or
sauce mixtures-and all t}_oesof flTing-
cook at temperatures much higher than
boiling water. Such temperatures could
eventually harm the glass cooktop
surfaces.
[]
Be sure the canner fits over the
center of the surface unit. If your
cooktop or its location does not
allow the canner to be centered
on the surface unit, use smaller
diameter pots fBr good canning
results.
Flat-bottomed canners nmst be
used. Do not use canners _4th
flanged or rippled bottoms (often
found in enamelware) because
they don't make enough contact
with the surface units and take a
long time to boil water.
(1) using a pressure canner, and
(2) starting with HOTtap water for fastest
heating of large quantities of water.
CAUTION:
@
@
@
Safe canning requires that harmful
microorganisms are destroyed and that
thejars are sealed completely. When
canning foods in a water-bath canner,
a gentle but steady boil must be
maintained for the required time. When
canning foods in apressure canner, the
pressure must be maintained for the
required time.
After youhave adjusted the controls,
it is very important to make sure the
prescribed boil or pressure levels are
maintained for the required time.
Since you must makesure to process
the canningjars for the prescribed time,
with no interruption in processing time,
do not can on any cooktop surface unit
if your canner is not flat.
@
When canning, use recipes and
procedures from reputable
sources. Reliable recipes and
procedures are available from the
manuf_mturer of your canner;
manufacturers of glass jars for
canning, such as Ball and Kerr
brand; and the United States
Department of Agriculture
Extension Set_,ice.

Adjustthe oventhermostat--Do it yourself! www.GEAppliances.com
Youmay find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few
weeks to become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust
the thermostat yourself.
Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven.
These thermometers may vary20-40 degrees.
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be
retained in memory after a power failure.

Thetypeofmargarine will affect bakingperformance!
Most recipes for baking have been developed using high fat products such as butter or margarine (80%fat). If you
decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher fat product.
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low fat spreads. Thelower the fat
content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
Federal standards require products labeled "margarine" to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low fat spreads, on the
other hand, contain less tat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor
of baked goods. For best results v_4thyour old thvorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least
70% vegetable oil.
