A full selection of modules is available for the range cooktop. The modules
can be interchanged quickly and easily. Each module has an electrical plug
which fits into a receptacle in the side of the well nearest the center of the
cooktop. Some modules are inserted and removed differently than others.
See each module section for specific instructions for installing and
removing that module.
To purchase, contact your nearest GE Appliances dealer or service center.

specific instructions. Never immerse any module
in water.

UsingElectricSurfaceUnit Modules
Youmust consider heat up and cool down times for

Heat up and cool down times depend on the initial
temperature settings, the type of cookware used and

unit faster, then turn to a lower setting to finish
cooking. Remember, cooking continues after the
surface unit is turned off.
