IMPORTANTSAFETYNOTICE
The Califomia Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement Act requires the Govemor of Califomia 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 ofpotential exposure to such substances.
Thefiberglass 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.

Selectingtypesof cookware.
Thefollowing information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.
Checkpans for fiat bottoms by
using a straight edge,
Stainless Steel:
recommended
Aluminum:
heavyweigbtrecommended
Good conductivity. Aluminum residues
sometimes appear as scratches on tile
cookmp, but can be removed if cleaned
immediately. Because of"its low melting
point, lightweight aluminum should not
be used.
Copper Bottom:
recommended
Copper may leave residues which can
appeal" as scratches. The residues can be
removed, as long as tile cooktop is
cleaned immediately. Howevm; do not let
these pots boil dry. Overheated metal can
bond to glass cooktops. _-Mloverheated
copper tyattom pot will leave a residue
that will permanently stain the cooktop
if not removed immediately.
Glass-Ceramic:
usable,butnotrecommended
Poor performance. May scratch tile
surface.
Stoneware:
usable,butnotrecommended
Poor performance. May scratch tile
surface.
Home Canningtips:
Be sure the canner is centered over the
surt:ace unit.
Make sure tile canner is flat on the
bottom.
Use recipes and procedures from
reputable sources. These are available
from manui;acturers such as BalF)and
KerF)and tile Department of Agriculture
Extension SmMce.
To prevent burns from steam or heat,
use caution when cmming.
Pans with rounded, curved, ridged
or warped bottoms are not
recommended.
Use only flat-bottomed wok&
PorcelainEnamel-CoveredCastIron:
recommended
As long as the cookware is covered
completely with porcelain enamel, this
cookw_re is recommended. Caution is
recommended for cast iron cookware
that is not completely covered with
smooth porcelain enamel, since it may
scratch the glass ceramic cooktop.
Wok Cooking
Werecommendthatyouuseonlyafiat-bottomed
wok.Theyareavailableatyourlocalretailstore.
Do not use round-bottom woks. You
could be seriously burned if tile wok
tipped oven
8
Observe the Following Points in Canning
Pots that extend beyond I" of
the surface unit's circle are not
recommended for most surfhce
cooking. Howevm; when canning
with ,a-ater-bath or pressure cannm;
larger<liameter pots may be used.
This is because boiling water
temperatures (even under pressure)
are not harmflal to the cooktop
surfaces surrounding the surfhce units.
Note:Flat-bottomedcannersare
required forglass cooktops. HOWEVER, DO NOT USE LARGE-
DIAMETER C_MNNERS OR OTHER
LARGE-DIAMETER POTS FOR
FRYING OR BOILING FOODS
OTHER THAN WATER. Most syrup
or sauce mixtures---and all types of
frying--cook at temperatures much
higher than boiling warm: Such
temperatures could eventually harm
the glass cooktop surfaces.
Be sure the canner fits over the
[]
center of tile surface unit. If your
cooktop or its location does not
allow the canner to be centered
on the surface unit, use smaller-
diameter pots for good canning
results.
Flat-bottomed canners must be
[]
used. Do not use canners with
flanged or rippled bottoms (often
found in enamelv_-are) because
they don't make enough contact
with the surthce units and rake
a long time to boil w-atel:
When canning, use recipes and
[]
procedures from reputable
sources. Reliable recipes and
procedures are available from the
manufacturer of your canner;
manufacturers of glass jars for
canning, such as BalF_and Kerr _'
brand; and the United States
Department of Agriculture
Extension Service.
ww_.GEAppliances.com
[] Remember that canning is a
process that generates large
amounts of steam. To avoid burns
from steam or heat, be careful
when canning.
NOTE:If your house haslow voltage,
canning may take longer than expected,
eventhough directions have been
carefully followed. Theprocess time will
be shortened by:
(1) using apressure canner,and
(2) starting with HOTtap water for fastest
heating of large quantities of water.
CAUTION:
I_;_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 a pressure canner,the
pressure must be maintained for the
required time.
I_;_After youhave adjusted the controls,
it is very important to make sure the
prescribed boil or pressure levels are
maintained for the required time.
I_;_Since you must makesure toprocess
the canningjars for the prescribed
time, with no interruption in processing
time, do not can on any cooktop
surface unff if your canner is not flat.

Cutslits in the foil just like the grid.
Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminum foil to line tim
broiler pan and broiler grid. Howevm;
you must mold the foil tigbtly to tim grid
and cut slits in itjust like the grid.
Without the slits, the J[bilwill prevent fat
and meat juices from draining into the
broiler pan. The juices could become
hot enough to catch on fire. lfyou
do not cut the slite, you are essentially
frying, not broiling.
Donotusealuminumfoilonthebottomof

Never entirely cover a rack witb
ahlminum foil. This will disturb the heat
circulation and result in poor baking.
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to
catch a spillover by placing it on a lower
rack several inches below tim food.
