IMPORTANTSAFETYNOTICE

The California Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement Act requires the Governor of California
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.

The fiberglass 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.

off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface

unit by coveting the pan completely with

a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or fiat tray.
Use a mulfi-puq)ose d U chemical or

SURFACEUNITS

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.

;fi:,iNex_r leave file surJZace units unattended

at high heat settings. Boilo_>rs cause
smoking and gTeasy spillox>rs that may

catch on fire.

E:,IOnly certain types of glass, glassA;eramic,

earthenware or other glazed containers are
suitable for cooktop service; others m W
break because of the sudden chang.e in
ten_peratme.

_{_:To minimize the possibili U of burns,

ig_ifion of flammable materials and
spillage, the handle of a container

should be turned toward the cenmr of
rite rang.e without exmnding over nearl)y

surface units.

;fi:,iAlways turn rite surfi_ce units off before

removing cookware.

_{_:V_l_en preparing flaming %ods under

die hood, turn the Pan on.

_{:_Use care when touching the cooktop. The

glass suii_ce of the cooktop will retain heat
after die conuols hax.e been turned off:

_{:_Kee I) an eye on foods being fl_ied at high

or medium high heat setfinKs.

_{:_Foods fbr flTing should be as dry as

possible. Frost on flozen tbods or moisture
on flesh foods can cause hot fht to bubble

up and ox.er the sides of the pan.

q?{:_Use little flit for efl_cdx_ shallow or deep

l_atflTing. Filling the pan too fldl of l_atcan
cause spillovers when food is added.

_?{:_If a combination of oils or l_atswill be

used in fEving, stir tog.edler before heating,

_; Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The

cooktop can be scratched wifl_ imms such

as sharp instrmnents, rings or other

jewelry, and rix.ets on clothing.

i,arg.e scratches or impacts to glass
doors or cooktops can lead to broken
or shatmred glass.

Do not operate the radiant surface units if
the glass is broken. Spillovers or cleaning
soludon m W penetrate a broken cooktop

and c_.eam a risk of electrical shock.
Contact a qualified mchnician immediamly

should your glass cooktop become broken.
Nex.er use the glass cooktop snifitce as a

Right!

Wrong!

Note: Flat-bottomed canners are
required for glass eooktops,

cooking. However, when canning
with wate>bath or pressure calmer,

large>diameter pots may be used.
This is because boiling water

temperatures (even trader pressure)
are not harmfld to the cooktop

surfimes surrounding tile surthce units.
HOWEVER, DO NOT USE lARGE

DIAMETER CANNERS OR OTHER
lARGE DDdMETER POTS FOR

FRYING OR BOILING FOODS
OTHER THAN WATER. Most syrup

or satlce I/lixttlres--and all types of

fi'ving--cook at temperatures much

higher than boiling wate*: Such
temperatures could e\ entually harm

the glass cooktop surthces.

] Be sure the canner fits over tile

center of tile surthce trait. If your
cooktop or its location does not

allow the caroler to be centered
on the surfime trait, use smaller

diameter pots for good canning
results.

Flat-bottomed Callllers I/l[ist be

[]

used. Do llOt use Callllers x_ith

flanged or rippled bottoms (often
found ill enamelware) because

they don't make enough contact
with tile surthce units and take

a hmg time to boil water.

When camfing, use recipes and

[]

procedures from reputable
sources. Reliable recipes and

procedm'es are a\_dlable Kern tile

Extension Service.

[] Remember that c'umiw,,_ is.a

process that generates large

alllO/lnEs of steanl. To avoid brims

froill steam or heat, be carehll

when canning.

NOTE:If your househas low voltage,
canning may take longer than expected,
even though directions have been
carefufly foflowed. Theprocess time
will be shortened by:

(1) using a pressure canner, and

(2) starting with HOTtap water for fastest

heating of large quantities of water

CAU_O_

_ 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.

;;J_::After you have adjusted the controls,

it is very important to make sure the
prescribed boil or pressure levels are
maintained for the required time.

_ Since you mustmake sure to process

the canningjars for the prescribed
time, with no interruption in processing
time, do not can on any cooktop
surface unit if your canner is not flat.

Introduction. Be.corn

The GEProfile oven with TrivectionTMtechnology is a microwave-assist oven designed to cook food up to five times
faster than a traditional oven. This oven gives the user the flexibility to cook food in traditional cooking modes
(Bake or Broil), convection modes (convection bake and convection roast) or in speedcook modes (speed bake
and speed broil). This oven features easy-to-use controls that will guide you through oven operations.
