( WARNING IGENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
[] Use this appliance for its intended purpose as
described in this Owner's Manual.
[] Be sure your appliance is properly installed and
grounded by a qualified installer in accordance
with the provided installation instructions.
[] Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of
your range unless it is specifically recommended
in this manual. All other servicing should be
referred to a qualified technician.
[] Before performing any service, unplug the
cooktop or disconnect the power supply at the
household distribution panel by removing the
fuse or switching off the circuit breaker.
[] Do not leave children alone--children should
not be left alone or unattended in an area where
an appliance is in use. They should never be
allowed to climb, sit or stand on any part of the
appliance.
[]CAUTION: Donotstoreitemsofinterest
to children above a cooktop--children climbing
on the cooktop to reach items could be seriously
injured.
[] Use only dry pot holders--moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from
steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot surface
units or heating elements. Do not use a towel or
other bulky cloth in place of pot holders.
[] Never use your appliance for warming or heating
the room.
[] Do not touch the surface elements. 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 the surface units or areas
nearby the surface units; allow sufficient time for
cooling first. Other surfaces of the appliance may
become hot enough to cause burns. Potentially
hot surfaces include the cooktop and areas
facing the cooktop.
[] Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure
could build up and the container could burst,
causing an injury.
[] 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.
[] Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and
exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of
fuel burning equipment to prevent back drafting.
Follow the heating equipment manufacturer's
guide lines and safety standards, such as
those published by the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA), the AmericanSociety for
Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning
(ASHRAE) and the local code authorities, when
applicable, install any make up (replacement)
air system in accordance with local building
code requirements. Visit GEAppliances.com for
available makeup air solutions
IA WARNING IKEEPFLAMMABLE MATERIALS AWAY FROM
THE COOKTOP.
[] Do not store or use flammable material near the
cooktop, including paper, plastic, pot holders,
linens, wall coverings, curtains, drapes and
gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids.
[] Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while
using the appliance. These garments may ignite if
they contact hot surfaces causing severe burns.
[] Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate on or near the cooktop.
Grease on the cooktop may ignite.
[] Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Grease should
not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter.

IA WARNING j IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, TAKE THE FOLLOWING
STEPSTO PREVENT THE FIRE FROM SPREADING:
[] Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up
a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a
flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the
pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet
or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or
foam-type fire extinguisher.

IA WARNING 1RADIANT COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
[] Never leave the surface units unattended at medium
or high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
[] Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed
to heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite
resulting in fire that may spread to surrounding
cabinets. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to monitor oil temperature.
[] To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum
amount of oil when shallow pan-frying and avoid
cooking frozen foods with excessive amounts of ice.
[] Use proper pan size--select cookware having
flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface
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.
[] 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.
[] 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
range without extending over nearby surface units.
[] When preparing flaming foods under a hood, turn
the fan on.
[] Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass
surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the
controls have been turned off.
[] Avoid scratching or impacting the glass cooktop.
Doing so may lead to broken glass. The cooktop
can be scratched with items such as knives,
sharp instruments, rings or other jewelry, and
rivets on clothing.
[] Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If glass
cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and
spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and
create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified
technician immediately.
[] Do not place or store items that can melt or catch
fire on the glass cooktop, even when it is not
being used. If the cooktop is inadvertently turned
on, they may ignite. Heat from the cooktop after it
is turned off may cause them to ignite also.
[] Use CERAMA BRYTE ®ceramic Cooktop Cleaner
and CERAMA BRYTE ® Cleaning Pad to clean
the cooktop. Wait until the cooktop cools and
the indicator light goes out before cleaning. A
wet sponge or cloth on a hot surface can cause
steam burns. Some cleaners can produce
noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
NOTE: Sugar spills are an exception. They
should be scraped off while still hot using an
oven mitt and a scraper. See the Cleaning the
glass cooktop section for detailed instructions.
[] Read and follow all instructions and warnings on
the cleaning cream label.

with your fingers and slowly peel it from the appliance
surface. Do not use any sharp items to remove the film.
Remove all of the film before using the appliance for the
first time.
49 80635 1 5
To assure no damage is done to the finish of the
product, the safest way to remove the adhesive from
packaging tape on new appliances is an application of
a household liquid dishwashing detergent. Apply with a
soft cloth and allow to soak.
NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all parts. It
cannot be removed if it is baked on.

Surface Burners
Radiant Surface Units
The control for the radiant surface unit can be set
anywhere between LO and HI for an unlimited number
of heat settings. With the infinite switch the coil cycles on
and off to maintain your selected control setting.
To bring liquids to a boil faster, use a lid to cover the pan.
The control knob must be pushed down and turned
from the OFF position. When the control knobs are in
any position other than off, they may be turned without
pushing down.
Be sure you turn the control knob off when you finish
cooking. You will feel a click at the OFF position.
About the radiant surface units
The radiant cooktop features heating units beneath a
smooth glass surface.
NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new cooktop is
used for the first time. It is caused by the heating of new
parts and insulating materials and will disappear in a
short time.
NOTE: On models with light colored glass cooktops, it is
normal for the cooking zones to change color when hot
or cooling down. This is temporary and will disappear as
the glass cools to room temperature.
The surface unit will cycle on and off to maintain your
selected control setting.
It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven or surface
on the glass surface when the surface is cool.
Even after the surface units are turned off, the glass
cooktop retains enough heat to continue cooking. To
avoid over-cooking, remove pans from the surface units
when the food is cooked. Avoid placing anything on the
surface unit until it has cooled completely.
[] Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable using
the cleaning cream or full strength white vinegar.
[] Use of window cleaner may leave an iridescent film
on the cooktop. The cleaning cream will remove this
discoloration.
[] Don't store heavy items above the cooktop. If they
drop onto the cooktop, they can cause damage.
[] Do not use the surface as a cutting board.
The surface unit ON indicator
light will glow when any
surface unit is on.
The HOT surface indicator
light will glow when the glass
surface is hot and will remain
on until the surface has cooled.

select the desired setting. The unit will heat the front
surface burner and the bridge.
Choose pans that match the circle/bridge area as closely
as possible.
Surface Elements Cycle On and Off
Surface elements will cycle on and off to maintain the
temperature you have selected.
All radiant surface elements have a temperature limiter
that protects the glass cooktop from getting too hot.
Temperature Limiter
Every radiant surface unit has a temperature limiter.
The temperature limiter protects the glass cooktop from
getting too hot.
To use only the front surface
unit, turn the burner knob to [I_
and select the desired setting.
The unit will only heat the front
surface burner.
You can create an oblong
heated area by using the left

The temperature limiter may cycle the elements off
while cooking if:
[] The pan boils dry.
[] The pan bottom is not flat.
[] The pan is off-center.
[] There is no pan on the element.
The temperature limiter may cycle the units off for a

Cookware for Radiant Glass Cooktop
C
i.n
The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on
glass cooktops.
Stainless Steel:
recommended
Aluminum:
heavy weight recommended
Good conductivity. Aluminum residues
sometimes appear as scratches on the
cooktop but can be removed if cleaned
immediately. Because of its low melting point,
thin weight aluminum should not be used.
Porcelain Enamel on Steel:
not recommended
Heating empty pans can cause permanent
damage to cooktop glass. The enamel can
melt and bond to the ceramic cooktop.
Glass-ceramic:
not recommended
Poor performance. Will scratch the surface.
Stonewa re:
Copper Bottom:
recommended
Copper may leave residues which can
appear as scratches. The residues can be
removed, as long as the cooktop is cleaned
immediately. However, do not let these pots
boil dry. Overheated metal can bond to glass
cooktops. An overheated copper bottom pot
will leave a residue that will permanently
stain the cooktop if not removed immediately.
not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Cast Iron:
not recommended--unless designed
specifically for glass cooktops
Poor conductivity and slow to absorb heat.
Will scratch the cooktop surface.
Check pans for flat
bottoms by using a
straight edge.

Pans with rounded,
curved, ridged or
warped bottoms are
not recommended.
NOTE: Follow all cookware manufacturer's recommendations when using any type of cookware on the ceramic cooktop.
For Best Results
[] Place only dry pans on the surface elements. Do not
place lids on the surface elements, particularly wet lids.
[] Do not use woks that have support rings. This type of
wok will not heat on glass surface elements.
[] We recommend that you use only a fiat-bottomed
wok. They are available at your local retail store. The
bottom of the wok should have the same diameter as
the surface element to ensure proper contact.
[] Some special cooking procedures require specific
cookware such as pressure cookers, deep-fat fryers,
etc. All cookware must have fiat bottoms and be the
correct size.
[] Avoid allowing foods to boil dry as some cookware
may stick to the cooking surface, causing permanent
damage to the cooktop.
Do not place wet pans on the
glass cooktop.
_ w
Do not use woks with support
rings on the glass cooktop.

Cleaning the Glass Cooktop
Metal Marks and Scratches
,
Be careful not to slide pots and pans across your
cooktop. It will leave metal markings on the cooktop
surface. These marks are removable using the
CERAMA BRYTE ®Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner with
the CERAMA BRYTE ®Cleaning Pad for Ceramic
Cooktops.
Damage from Sugary Spills and Melted Plastic
Special care should be taken when removing hot substances to avoid permanent damage of the glass surface.
Sugary spillovers (such as jellies, fudge, candy, syrups) or melted plastics can cause pitting of the surface of your
cooktop (not covered by the warranty) unless the spill is removed while still hot. Special care should be taken when
removing hot substances.
Be sure to use a new, sharp razor scraper.
Do not use a dull or nicked blade.
1. Turn off all surface burners and, with an oven mitt,
remove hot pans and grates.
2. Wearing an oven mitt:
a. Use a single-edge razor blade scraper
(CERAMA BRYTE® Ceramic Cooktop Scraper) to
move the spill to a cool area on the cooktop.
b. Remove the spill with paper towels.
2. If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum or copper
are allowed to boil dry, the overlay may leave black
discoloration on the cooktop. This should be removed
immediately before heating again or the discoloration
may be permanent.
,& WARNING: Carefully check the bottom of
pans for roughness that would scratch the cooktop.
3. Any remaining spillover should be left until the surface
of the cooktop has cooled.
4. Don't use the surface units again until all of the
residue has been completely removed.
NOTE: If pitting or indentation in the glass surface has
already occurred, the cooktop glass will have to be
replaced. In this case, service will be necessary.
