IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, TAKE THE FOLLOWING

STEPS TO PREVENT THE FIRE FROM SPREADING:

Never leave the surface units unattended at medium or

high heat settings Boilovers cause smoking and greasy

spillovers that may catch on fire

Never leave oil unattended while frying If allowed to

heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite resulting

in fire that may spread to surrounding cabinets

Use a

deep fat thermometer whenever possible to monitor oil

temperature

To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum amount of

oil when shallow pan-frying and avoid cooking frozen

foods with excessive amounts of ice

Use proper pan size³select cookware having flat

bottoms large enough to cover the surface heating

element

The use 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

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

When preparing flaming foods under a hood, turn the

fan on

If power is lost to an electric cooktop while a surface

unit is ON, the surface unit will turn back ON as soon

as power is restored

Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips Care and Cleaning Operating Instructions

Safety Instructions

Temperature Limiter

Every radiant surface unit has a

temperature limiter.

The temperature limiter protects the

glass cooktop from getting too hot.

Thetemperaturelimitermay cycle the

units fora time if:

The pan boils dry.

The pan bottom is not flat.

The pan is off center.

There is no pan on the unit.

NOTE: Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.

Never cook directly on the glass.

Always use cookware.

About the Radiant Surface Units

WARNING:

The surface

units are automatically disabled during

the self-clean cycle. Make sure that all

surface unit controls are turned off at all

times during the self-clean cycle. Any

surface unit that is set to an on position,

while the self-clean cycle is operating, will

automatically come on after the self-clean

cycle is finished, and could result in an

on, unattended surface unit. Wait until

the self-clean cycle is finished to set and

use the surface units.

The radiant cooktop features heating

units beneath a smooth glass surface.

Cooktop temperatures increase with

the number of surface units that are on.

With 3 or 4 units turned on, surface

temperatures are high. Always use

caution when touching the cooktop.

An indicator light will come on when

the surface unit is turned on.

The appropriate

HOT

surface indicator

light will glow when its corresponding

radiant element is turned on and will

remain on until the surface has cooled

below 65.5°C (150°F).

NOTE:

Hot surface indicator light will:

Come on when the surface unit is hot

to the touch.

Stay on even after the unit is turned off.

Glow brightly until the unit has cooled

below 65.5°C (150°F).

NOTE:

A slight odor is normal when a new

cooktop is used for the first time. It is caused by

the heating of new parts and insulating materials

and will disappear in a short time.

NOTE:

On models with light-colored glass

cooktops, it is normal for the cooking zones to

change color when hot or cooling down. This is

temporary and will disappear as the glass cools

to room temperature.

It is safe to place hot cookware from the

oven or surface on the glass cooktop

when the surface is cool.

Even after the surface units are turned

off, the glass cooktop retains enough

heat to continue cooking. To avoid

overcooking, remove pans from the

surface units when the food is cooked.

Avoid placing anything on the surface

unit until it has cooled completely.

Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable

using the cleaning cream or full strength white

vinegar.

Use of window cleaner may leave an iridescent

film on the cooktop. The cleaning cream will

remove this discoloration.

Don’t store heavy items above the cooktop.

If they drop onto the cooktop, they can cause

damage.

Do not use the surface as a cutting board.

SURFACE

COOKING

OFF CENTER

Always place the pan in the center of

the surface unit you are cooking on.

DRAGGING

Do not slide cookware across the

control or cooktop surface because

it can scratch the glass. The glass is

scratch-resistant, not scratchproof.

Selecting types of cookware. GEAppliances.ca

The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.

Stainless Steel:

recommended

Aluminum:

heavy weight recommended

Good conductivity. 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.

Copper Bottom:

recommended

Copper may leave residues which can

appear as scratches. The residues can be

removed, as long as the cooktop is cleaned

immediately. However, do not let these pots

boil dry. Overheated metal can bond to glass

cooktops. An overheated copper bottom pot

will leave a residue that will permanently

stain the cooktop if not removed

immediately.

Porcelain Enamel-Covered Cast Iron:

recommended

As long as the cookware is covered

completely with porcelain enamel,

this cookware is recommended. Caution

is recommended for cast-iron cookware

that is not completely covered with

smooth porcelain enamel, as it may

scratch the glass-ceramic cooktop.

Glass-Ceramic:

usable, but not recommended

Poor performance. May scratch the surface.

Stoneware:

usable, but not recommended

Poor performance. May scratch the surface.

Home Canning Tips:

Be sure the canner is centered over

the surface unit.

Make sure the canner is flat on the bottom.

Use recipes and procedures from

reputable sources. These are available

from manufacturers such as Ball

and

Kerr

and the Department of Agriculture

Extension Service.

To prevent burns from steam or heat,

use caution when canning.

Check pans for at bottoms by using

a straight edge.

Pans with rounded, curved, ridged or

warped bottoms are not recommended.

Wok Cooking

We recommend that you use only a flat-

bottomed wok. They are available at your

local retail store.

Do not use woks that have support rings.

Use of these types of woks, with or without

the ring in place, can be dangerous.

Placing the ring over the surface unit will

cause a buildup of heat that will damage

the porcelain cooktop. Do not try to use

such woks without the ring. You could

be seriously burned if the wok tips over.

Use only at-bottomed woks.

Use medium- or heavy-weight cookware.

Aluminum cookware conducts heat faster

than other metals. Cast-iron and coated

cast-iron cookware are slow to absorb heat,

but generally cook evenly at low to medium

heat settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly

if not combined with other metals.

For best cooking results, pans should be

flat on the bottom. Match the size of the

saucepan to the size of the surface unit.

The pan should not extend over the edge

of the surface unit more than 1 inch.

Not over 1 inch

Baking results will be better if baking

pans are centered in the oven as much

as possible. If baking with more than one

pan, place the pans so each has at least

2.5 cm to 3.8 cm (1” to 11 ⁄ 2”) of air space

around it.

If baking four cake layers at the same time,

place two layers on rack B and two layers on

rack D. Stagger pans on the rack so one is

not directly above the other.

A smaller sheet of foil may be used to

catch a spillover by placing it on a lower

rack several inches below the food.

Aluminum Foil

Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom

of the oven.

Never entirely cover a rack with

aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat

circulation and result in poor baking.

Preheating and Pan Placement

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.

Preheating is necesary for good results

when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and

breads.

To preheat, set the oven at the correct

temperature. The control will beep when

Using the convection oven.

(on some models)

www.GEAppliances.ca

The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened. DO NOT leave the door open for long periods of

time while using convection cooking or you may shorten the life of the convection heating element.

To help you understand the difference

between convection bake and roast and

traditi onal bake and roast, here are some

general guidelines.

Convection Bake

Ideal foor evenly browned baked foods cooked

on multiple racks.

Good for large quantities of baked foods.

Good results with cookies, biscuits, brownies,

cupcakes, cream puffs, sweet rolls, angel food

cake and bread.

Heat comes from the heating element in

the rear of the oven. The convection fan

circulates the heated air evenly over and

around the food. Preheating is not

necessary with foods having a bake time

of over 15 minutes.

Convection Roast

Good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.

Heat comes from the top heating

element. The convection fan circulates

the heated air evenly over and around

the food. Meat and poultry are browned

on all sides as if they were cooked on a

rotisserie. The heated air seals in juices

quicklyfor amoist and tender product

while,atthesametime,creatingarich

golden brown exterior.

When you are convection roasting, it is

important that you use a broiler pan and

grid designed for broiling for best

convection roasting results. The pan is

used to catch grease spills and the grid is

used to prevent grease spatters.

In a convection oven, a fan

circulates hot air over, under and

around the food. This circulating

hot air is evenly distributed

throughout the oven cavity. As a

result, foods are evenly cooked and

browned - often in less time than

with regular heat.

Adapting Recipes…

Youcanuseyourfavoriterecipes

in the convection oven.

Use pan size recommended.

Some package instructions for frozen

casseroles or main dishes have been

developed using commercial convection

ovens. For best results in this oven,

preheat the oven and use the

temperature on the package.

Cookware for Convection Cooking

Before using your convection oven, check

to see if your cookware leaves room for air

circulation in the oven. If you are baking

with several pans, leave space between

them. Also, be sure the pans do not touch

each other or the walls of the oven.

Heat-resistant paper and plastic

containers that arerecommended

for use in regular ovens can be used in

convection ovens. Plastic cookware that

is heat-resistant to temperatures of

205°C (400°F) can also be used, when

oven is below 205°C (400°F).

Paper

flat

and Plastic

Metaland Glass

Any type of cookware will work in your

convection oven. However, metal pans

heat the fastestand arerecommended

for convection baking.

Darkened on matte-finished pans will bake

faster than shiny pans.

Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.

When baking cookies, you will get the

best results if you use a cookie sheet

instead of a pan with low sides.

For recipes like oven-baked chicken,

use apanwith low sides.Hot air cannot

circulatewell around food in apanwith

high sides.

Because heated air is circulated evenly

throughout the oven, foods can be baked

with excellent results using multiple racks.

Multi-rack baking may increase cook times

slightly for some foods but the overall result

is time saved. Cookies, muffins, biscuits and

other quickbreads give very good results

with multi-rack baking.

When baking on 3 racks, place one

rack in the second (B) position, another rack

in the fourth (D) position and the third rack

in the sixth (F) position.

For two-rack baking, place one rack

in the second (B) rack position. Place

the other rack in the fifth (E) rack position.

Multi-Rack Convection Baking (on precise air convection models)

Multi-rack position.

When convection baking with only 1 rack,

place the food so that it is centered with

oven convection fan.

You may 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 vary 6–11 degrees Celsius (20–40 degrees Fahrenheit).

NOTE:

This adjustment will only affect baking and roasting temperatures; it will not affect broiling or self-cleaning temperatures.

The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.

The type of margarine will affect baking performance.

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. The lower 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 fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor of baked goods. For best

results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.

looking for years.

Let the range cool before cleaning.

We recommend that you wear rubber

gloves when cleaning the range.

Soap and water will normally do the job.

Heavy spattering or spillovers may require

cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner.

Soap-filled scouring pads may also be used.

Do not allow food spills with a high

sugar or acid content (such as milk,

tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or

pie filling) to remain on the surface. They may

cause a dull spot even after cleaning.

Household ammonia may make the cleaning

job easier. Place 1/2 cup in a shallow glass or

pottery container in a cold oven overnight.

The ammonia fumes will help loosen

the burned-on grease and food.

If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner.

Follow the package directions.

Do not spray oven cleaner on the electrical

controls and switches because it could cause

a short circuit and result in sparking or fire.

Do not allow a film from the cleaner to build

up on the temperature sensor―it could cause

the oven to heat improperly. (The sensor is

located at the top of the oven.) Carefully wipe

the sensor clean after each oven cleaning,

being careful not to move the sensor as

a change in its position could affect how

the oven bakes.

Do not spray any oven cleaner on the oven

door, handles or any exterior surface of

the oven, cabinets or painted surfaces.

The cleaner can damage these surfaces.

Oven Interior (non-self-clean models)

If your range is removed for cleaning,

servicing or any reason, be sure the

anti-tip device is re-engaged properly

when the range is replaced. Failure

to take this precaution could result in

tipping of the range and cause injury.

Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.

Do not rub or clean the door gasket—it has

an extremely low resistance to abrasion.

If you notice the gasket becoming worn,

frayed or damaged in any way or if it has

become displaced on the door, you should

have it replaced.

To clean the inside of the door:

Because the area inside the gasket is

cleaned during the self-clean cycle,

you do not need to clean this by hand.

The area outside the gasket and the door

liner can be cleaned with a soap-filled

or plastic scouring pad, hot water and

detergent. Rinse well with a vinegar

To clean the outside of the door:

Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the

top, sides and front of the oven door. Rinse

well. You may also use a glass cleaner to

clean the glass on the outside of the door.

Do not let water drip into the vent openings.

If any stain on the door vent trim is

persistent, use a soft abrasive cleaner

and a sponge-scrubber for best results.

Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato

sauces and basting materials containing

acids may cause discoloration and should

be wiped up immediately. When surface is

burn off any soil.

To remove a surface unit:

To remove the drip pans for cleaning,

the surface units must be removed first.

Lift the surface unit about 1 inch above

the drip pan and pull it out.

Do not lift the surface unit more than 1". If you

do, it may not lie flat on the drip pan when

you plug it back in.

Repeated lifting of the surface unit more than

1 inch above the drip pan can permanently

damage the receptacle.

To replace a surface unit:

Replace the drip pan into the recess

in the cooktop. Make sure the opening

in the pan lines up with the receptacle.

Insert the terminals of the surface unit

through the opening in the drip pan and

into the receptacle.

Guide the surface unit into place so it rests

Do not immerse the surface units

in liquids of any kind.

Do not clean the surface units

in a dishwasher.

Do not bend the surface unit plug

terminals.

Do not attempt to clean, adjust

or in any way repair the plug-in

receptacle.

Be sure all surface units are turned o

Some models have a cooktop that can

be lifted up for easier cleaning. The entire

cooktop may be lifted up and supported

in the up position.

The surface units do not need to be removed;

however, you may remove one to make

raising the cooktop easier. There are two

side supports that lock into position when

the cooktop is lifted up.

After cleaning under the cooktop with hot,

mild soapy water and a clean cloth, lower the

cooktop. Be careful not to pinch your fingers.

To lower the cooktop, push the rods back

and gently lower the cooktop until it rests

in place.

NOTE: Do not lift the cooktop on radiant top

models. Lifting the cooktop can lead to

damage and improper operation of the range.

The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy

but breakable if misused. This finish is

acid-resistant. However, any acidic foods

spilled (such as fruit juices, tomato or vinegar)

should not be permitted to remain on the

finish.

If acids spill on the cooktop while it is hot, use

a dry paper towel or cloth to wipe it up right

away. When the surface has cooled, wash

with soap and water. Rinse well.

For other spills such as fat spatterings, wash

with soap and water or cleansing powders

after the surface has cooled. Rinse well. Polish
