Manual

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

Use proper pan size—select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit 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.

■ Never leave the surface units unattended at

high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking

and greasy 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.

■ Always 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 cooktop will retain

heat after the controls have been turned off.

■ Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or

medium high heat settings.

■ Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.

Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh

foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and

over the sides of the pan.

■ Use little fat for effective shallow or deep

fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can

cause spillovers when food is added.

■ If a combination of oils or fats will be used

in frying, stir together before heating, or

as fats melt slowly.

■ Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.

■ Use a deep fat thermometer whenever

possible to prevent overheating fat beyond

the smoking point.

■ Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The

cooktop can be scratched with items such

as sharp instruments, rings or other jewelry,

and rivets on clothing.

■ Large scratches or impacts to glass doors or

cooktops can lead to broken or shattered glass.

■ Do not operate the radiant surface 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.

■ 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.

■ Be careful 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. If a wet

sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot

surface unit, be careful to avoid steam burns.

Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if

applied to a hot surface.

NOTE:

We recommend that you avoid wiping

any 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.

■ When the cooktop is cool, use only the

CERAMA BRYTE

Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner

and the CERAMA BRYTE Ceramic Cooktop

Cleaning Pad to clean the cooktop.

■ To avoid possible damage to the cooking

surface, do not apply cleaning cream to

the glass surface when it is hot.

■ After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper towel

to remove all cleaning cream residue.

■ Read and follow all instructions and warnings

on the cleaning cream labels.

■ Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic

may melt onto the surface and be very difficult

to remove.

What is pyrolysis? Verified

Some ovens are equipped with a pyrolysis function. This is a cleaning system that burns dirt and fat in the oven by using very high temperatures. After pyrolysis, all the dirt will have turned to ash and can be easily removed. If the oven has a pyrolysis function, it is advisable to use it 3 to 4 times a year to keep the oven clean.

Can I connect a range to an extension cord? Verified

Appliances that require large amounts of power, like a range, can not be connected to all extension cords. See what the power usage of the range is, which is indicated in Watt, and check if the extension cord can handle this. There are extension cords with thicker cables that are made to handle larger appliances.

When I use the oven there often food remains that fall on the bottom, causing smoke. How can I prevent this? Verified

Many ovens come with both a grid and a baking tray. When food is prepared on the grid, the baking tray can be placed on the bottom to prevent food remains from burning and causing smoke.

Can I prepare several items simultaneously by using more grill trays? Verified

Can my GE appliance also run on a generator? Verified

In general this is possible, but always check this with the manufacturer of your generator. Also be aware that some appliances require a lot of power when starting up (ie: refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners). It's also a good idea to use a generator that is voltage regulated and surge protected. When in doubt you should contact the manufacturer.
