IMPORTANTSAFETYNOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement 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
of potential exposure to such substances.
.....Utensil handles should be turned inward and
should not extend over adjacent cooking elements
to reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable
materials and spillage due to unintentional contact
with the utensil.
.....Never leave prepared food on the cooking elements
unattended. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled
dry may melt or become damaged.
.....Protective liners: Do not use aluminum foil to line
any part of the cooktop. Only use aluminum foil as
recommended after the cooking process, if used as
a cover to be placed over the food. Any other use of

,11WARNING!
PRECAUTIONS
Do not touch glass ceramic surface
elements while cooking. This surface may be
hot enough to burn even though it may
appear dark in color. During and after use, do
not touch, or let clothing or other flammable
materials contact the cooking surface. Note
the hot indicator lights and allow sufficient
time for cooling first.
Hot surfaces may include both 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
elements.
Always turn off the surface element control
before removing the cookware.
Never leave surface elements unattended
at high heat settings. Boilovers may cause
smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite.
Keep an eye on foods being fried at high
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
deep-fat 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.
iii!_!_!!Always heatfat 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.
Do not store flammable materials near
the cooktop.
Keep the hood and grease filters clean to
maintain good venting and to avoid grease
fires.
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

Suitable Cookware
Use quality cookware with heavier
bottoms for better heat distribution
and even cooking results. Choose
cookware made of magnetic stainless
steel, enamel coated cast iron,
enameled steel and combinations
of these materials.
Some cookware isspecifically
identified by the manufacturer for use
with induction cooktops. Use a magnet
to test if the cookware will work.
Flat-bottomed pans give best results.
Panswith rims or slight ridges can be
used.
Round pans give best results. Pans
with warped or curved bottoms will
not heat evenly.
For wok cooking, use a flat-bottomed
wok. Do not use a wok with a support
ring.
ge.com
Cookware "noise"
Slight sounds may be produced by
different types of cookware. Heavier
pans such as enameled cast iron
produce less noise than a lighter
weight multi-ply stainless steel pan.
The size of the pan, and the amount
of contents, can also contribute to
the sound level.
When using adjacent elements that are
set at certain power level settings,
magnetic fields may interact and
produce a low whistle or intermitted
"hum". These noises can bereduced or
eliminated by lowering or raising the
power level settings of one or both of
the elements. Pansthat completely
cover the element ring will produce less
noise.
A low "humming" noise is normal
particularly on high settings.
Do not Dlace we1: pans

F
Useonly a flat-bottomed wok, available
from many cookware manufacturers.
Thebottom of the wok should match the
diameter of the induction ring to insure
proper contact.

Be sure the canner fits over the
%
center of the surface element.
If sour cooktop or its location does
not allow the canner to be
centered on the surface element,
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 enamelware) because
theg don't make enough contact
with the surface elements and take
a long time to boil water.
When canning, use recipes
%
and procedures from reputable
sources. Reliable recipes and
procedures are available from
the manufacturer of sour canner;
manufacturers of glass jars for
canning, such as Ball and Kerr
brand; and the United States
Department of Agriculture
Extension Service.
Remember that canning is a
[]
process that generates large
amounts of steam. Toavoid burns
from steam or heat, be careful
when canning.
NOTE:Ifblour house has low voltage,
canning may take longer than expected,
even though directions have been
carefullbl followed. Theprocess
time will be shortened bbl:
(1) using a pressure canner,and
(2) starting with HOTtap water for
fastest heating of large quantities
of water.
CAUTION:
Safe canning requires that harmful
microorganisms are destroyed and
that the jars are sealed completelbl.
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.
After blouhave adjusted the controls,
it is verblimportant to make sure the
prescribed boil or pressure levelsore
maintained for the required time.
Sinceblou must make sure to
process the canning jars for the
prescribed time, with no interruption
in processing time, do not can on anbl
cooktop surface element if blour
canner is not flat.
