The pan boils dry.

■

The pan bottom is not flat.

■

About the radiant 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 150°F.

NOTE:

Hot surface indicator light will:

■

Come on when the surface unit is

turned on.

■

Stay on even after the unit is turned off.

■

Glow brightly until the unit has cooled

below 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.

DRAGGING

Do not slide cookware across the

control or cooktop surface because it

can scratch the glass. The glass is

scratch-resistant, not scratchproof.

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

Technically this is possible. However, it depends on the type of food if you need to adjust the preparation time or swap the trays halfway during the preparation.

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.
