IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

■ Do not store flammable materials near
the cooktop.

■ Keep hood and grease filters clean to
maintain good venting and to avoid
grease fires.

■ Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you
do flame foods under the hood, turn the
fan on.

■ Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate on
the cooktop.

■ Do not touch surface units. These surfaces
may be hot enough to burn even though
they are dark in color. During and after
use, do not touch, or let clothing or other
flammable materials contact surface units
or areas nearby surface units; allow
sufficient time for cooling first.

■ Potentially hot surfaces include the

cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.

■ 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 cooktop without extending over
any nearby surface units.

■ Always turn the surface units to OFF before
removing cookware.

■ To avoid the possibility of a burn or electric
shock, always be certain that the controls
for all surface units are at the OFF position
and all surface units are cool before
attempting to lift or remove the unit.

■ Do not immerse or soak the removable
surface units. Do not put them in a
dishwasher.

■ Never clean the cooktop surface when
it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious
fumes, and wet cloths could cause steam
burns if used on a hot surface.

■ Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any
appliance.

■ Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s
Manual.

■ Do not leave paper products, cooking
utensils or food on the cooktop when
not in use.

■ Keep cooktop clean and free of
accumulation of grease or spillovers
which may ignite.

■ Never heat unopened food containers.
Pressure buildup may make container
burst and cause injury.

■ Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings
on or near your cooktop.

■ Never use your appliance for warming
or heating the room.

WARNING!

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry
to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against
foodborne illness.

Use proper pan size—This appliance is equipped with different size surface units. 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 the cookware to the surface unit will also improve efficiency.

SURFACE COOKING UNITS

■ Never leave the surface units unattended
at high heat settings. Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that may
catch on fire.

■ Be sure the drip pans and the duct are not
covered and are in place. Their absence
during cooking could damage cooktop
parts and wiring.

■ Do not use aluminum foil to line the drip
pans. Misuse could result in a shock, fire
hazard or damage to the cooktop.

■ 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.

■ Never clean the cooktop surface when
it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious
fumes, and wet cloths could cause steam
burns if used on a hot surface.

■ Keep an eye on foods being fried at HI
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 deep­fat 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.

■ Never try to move a pan of hot fat,
especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until
the fat is cool.

Using the cooktop.

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

Cooktop Controls

Your surface units and controls are designed to
give you an infinite choice of heat settings for
surface unit cooking.

At both OFF and HI the control clicks
into position.

When cooking in a quiet kitchen, you
may hear slight clicking sounds—an
indication that the heat settings you
selected are being maintained.

Switching heats to higher settings
always results in a quicker change than
switching to lower settings.

How to Set the Controls

Grasp the control knob and push
down.

Turn the knob to the desired heat
setting.

The control must be pushed in to set
only from the OFF position. When the
control is in any position other than OFF,
it may be rotated without pushing in.

Be sure you turn the control knob
to OFF when you finish cooking.

An indicator light will glow when a
surface unit is on.

Heat Setting Guide

HI Quick start for cooking; bring water to boil.

Medium High, (Setting halfway between HI and MED)

7–9 Maintains a fast boil on large amounts of food.

MED, 4–6 Sauté and brown; keeps food at medium boil or simmer.

Medium Low, (Setting halfway between MED and LO)

1–3 Cook after starting at HI; cooks with little water in a covered pan.

LO Steam rice, cereal; maintains serving temperature of foods. Slow

cooking and simmering. At LO settings, melt chocolate and butter
on a small surface unit.

NOTE: At HI or Medium High (7–9) never leave food unattended. Boilovers cause smoking; greasy
spillovers may catch fire.

Deep Fat Frying

Do not overfill cookware with fat that
may spill over when adding food. Frosty
foods bubble vigorously. Watch food
frying at high temperatures. Keep range
and hood clean from grease.

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.

Use medium- or heavy-weight cookware. Aluminum
cookware conducts heat faster than other metals. Cast­iron 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 trim ring more than 1 inch.

Right Wrong

Not over 1 inch

Over 1 inch

Use only flat-bottomed woks.

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 cooktop.

Do not try to use such woks without the
ring. You could be seriously burned if the
wok tipped over.

Care and cleaning of the cooktop.

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

Proper care and cleaning are important so your cooktop will give you efficient and satisfactory service. Follow these
directions carefully in caring for your cooktop to assure safe and proper maintenance.

Porcelain Enamel Cooktop (on some models)

The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but
breakable if misused.

This finish is acid-resistant. However, any
acid 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 with a dry cloth.

Stainless Steel Cooktop (on some models)

Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch
the surface.

To clean the stainless steel surface,
use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel
cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface
in the direction of the grain. Follow the
cleaner instructions for cleaning the
stainless steel surface.

To inquire about purchasing stainless
steel appliance cleaner or polish, or to
find the location of a dealer nearest you,
please call our toll-free number:

Control Knobs

The control knobs may be removed for easier
cleaning.

Make sure the knobs are in the OFF
positions and pull them straight off the
stems for cleaning.

The knobs can be cleaned in a
dishwasher or they may also be washed
with soap and water. Make sure the inside
of the knobs are dry before replacing.

Replace the knobs in the OFF position
to ensure proper placement.

To replace a surface unit:

■ Replace the drip pan into the recess in
the cooktop. Make sure 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 evenly.

Drip Pans

Remove the surface units. Then lift out
the drip pans.

For best results, clean the drip pans by
hand. Place them in a covered container
(or a plastic bag) with 1/4 cup ammonia
to loosen the soil. Then scrub with a soap
filled scouring pad if necessary. Rinse
with clean water and polish with a clean
soft cloth.

The drip pans may also be cleaned in the
dishwasher.

Clean the area under the drip pans often.
Built-up soil, especially grease, may catch
on fire.

Do not cover drip pans with foil. Using
foil so close to the receptacle could cause
shock, fire or damage to the cooktop.

Lift the surface unit about 1 inch
above the drip pan and pull it out.

Installation Instruction

✻

Max. distance of 7″ when installing over GSM2100 dishwasher

Suggested mounting of an approved junction box.

Before installing the counter unit or moving it to
another location have the electrician verify:

■ That your home is provided with adequate
electrical service.

■ That the addition of the counter unit will not
overload the household circuit on which it is
used.

DANGER: Always disconnect the

electrical service to the unit before repairing or
servicing the counter unit. This can be done by
disconnecting the fuse or circuit breaker. Failure
to do this could result in a dangerous or even
fatal shock. Know where your main disconnect
switch is located. If you don’t know, have your
electrician show you.

Install an approved junction box where it will be
easily accessible through the front of the cabinet
where the counter unit will be located.

IMPORTANT: The junction box must be located
where it will allow slack in the conduit for
serviceability. If installing over a GSM2100
dishwasher, the center of the junction box must
be installed 5 ″ to 7 ″ below the cooktop lip,
so it does not interfere with the dishwasher
installation or operation.

Install the counter unit in the cutout opening.

NOTE: If the unit is being installed in a blind counter
(one with no cabinet opening below) or over a GSM2100
dishwasher, wire connections must be made before putting
the unit into the cutout.

Secure the cooktop unit to the counter using the
side retainers and screws shipped with the unit.

■ For thicker counters (greater than 1″ thick),

hold down straps should be used to install
the cooktop. They are included with some
models, or can be ordered, GE model
number WB2K5328.

■ To attach the cooktop to the counter, insert
the hold-down strap into the slots on each side
of the unit (see diagram).

■ Use suitable screws to attach the cooktop to
the counter as shown. The cooktop must rest
on the metal flange around the burner box.

Be sure this cut does not interfere with the cabinet structure at the front
