"--I_WARNING IIN THE EVENT OFA FIRE,TAKE THE FOLLOWING STEPS

TOPREVENTTHE FIREFROM SPREADING:

Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a

flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming

pan on o surface unit by covering the
pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat

troy. Useo multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire

extinguisher.
If there is a fire in the oven during baking, smother the

fire by closing the oven door and turning the oven off or

by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.

If there is a fire in the oven during self-cleon, turn the
oven off and wait for the fire to go out. Do not force

the door open. Introduction of fresh air at self-cleon
temperatures may lead to a burst of flame from the

oven. Failure to follow this instruction may result in
severe burns.

iA WARNING l COOKTOP SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS

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 ovoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum amount of

oil when shallow pan-frying and ovoid cooking frozen

foods with excessive amounts of ice.

Useproper pan size--select cookware having flat
bottoms large enough to cover the surface heating

element.The useof undersizedcookware will expose
a portion of the surfaceunit to direct contact and may

result in ignition of clothing. Properrelationship of
cookware to surfaceunit will also improve efficiency.

Onlycertaintypes of glass/ceramic,earthenware or
other glazed containers are suitablefor 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 on electric cooktop while o surface
unit is ON, the surface unit will turn back on as soon

as power is restored. Inthe event of power loss, failure

to turn oil surface unit knobs to the OFF position may

result in ignition of items on or near the cooktop, leading

to serious injury or death.

IA WARNING 1RADIANT COOKTOP SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS

(Some models)

GEAppliances.com

Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface
of the cooktop will retain heat after the controls have

been turned off.
Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If glass cooktop

should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers
may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a

risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician
immediately.

Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The cooktop can be

scratched with items such as knives, sharp instruments,
rings or other jewelry, and rivets on clothing.

Do not place or store items that can melt or catch fire
on the glass cooktop, even when it is not being used. If

the cooktop is inadvertently turned on, they may ignite.

[A WARNING

(Some models)

Do not immerse or soak the removable surface units.
Do not put them in a dishwasher. Do not self-clean the

surface units in an oven. Doing so may cause them to

fail presenting a burn or fire hazard.

Do not use a surface unit (heating element)if it develops
a glowing spot during use or shows other signs of

damage. A glowing spot indicates the surface unit may

fail and present a potential burn, fire, or shock hazard.
Turn the surface unit off immediately and have it

replaced by a qualified service technician.

i COIL

COOKTOPSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS

Heat from the cooktop or oven vent after it isturned off
may cause them to ignite also.

Use CERANA BRYTE®ceramic Cooktop Cleaner and
CERANA BRY]-E®Cleaning Pad to clean the cooktop.

Wait until the cooktop cools and the indicator light goes

out before cleaning. A wet sponge or cloth on a hot
surface can cause steam burns. Some cleaners can

produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Note:
Sugar spills are an exception. They should be scraped

off while still hot using an oven mitt and a scraper. See

the Cleaning the glass cooktop section for detailed
