IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
WARNING TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
A.Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on medium settings.
B.Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
C.Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
D.Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.
WARNING TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
A.Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.
B.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 guidelines and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the local code authorities.
C.When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
D.Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
E.When applicable, install any makeup (replacement) air system in accordance with local building
code requirements. Visit GEAppliances.com for available makeup air solutions.

How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape
Carefully grasp a corner of the protective shipping film 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.
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: If surface is still not clean, see page 8 for more cleaning options.
NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all parts.

Surfaces
Stainless Steel Surfaces (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 brush line. Follow
the cleaner instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface. Cleaners with oxalic acid such as Bar Keepers Friend Soft Cleanser™ will remove surface rust, tarnish, and small blemishes. Use only a liquid cleanser free of grit and rub in the direction of the brush lines with a damp soft sponge.
