COOKI NG
Safety Instructions
Never cook directly on the glass.
Always use cookware.
OFF C ENTER
Always place the pan in the center of
the surface unit you are cooking on.
DRAGG ING
Do not slide cookware across the
control or cooktop surface because
it can scratch the glass. The glass is
scratch-resistant, not scratchproof.

WARNING:
units are automatically disabled during
the self-clean cycle. Make sure that all
surface unit controls are turned off at all
times during the self-clean cycle. Any
surface unit that is set to an on position,
while the self-clean cycle is operating, will
automatically come on after the self-clean
cycle is finished, and could result in an
on, unattended surface unit.Wait until
the self-clean cycle is finished to set and
use the surface units.
The radiant cooktop features heating
units beneath a smooth glass surface.
Cooktop temperatures increase with
the number of surface units that are on.
With 3 or 4 units turned on, surface
temperatures are high. Always use
caution when touching the cooktop.
An indicator light will come on when
the surface unit is turned on.
The appropriate HOT surface indicator
light will glow when its corresponding
radiant element is turned on and will
remain on until the surface has cooled
below 65.5°C (150°F).
NOTE:
Hot surface indicator light will:
On models with light-colored glass
NOTE:
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.
It is safe to place hot cookware from the
oven or surface on the glass cooktop
when the surface is cool.
Even after the surface units are turned
off, the glass cooktop retains enough
heat to continue cooking. To avoid
overcooking, 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.
Come on when the surface unit is hot
to the touch.
Stay on even after the unit is turned off.
Glow brightly until the unit has cooled
below 65.5°C (150°F).
NOTE:
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.
A slight odor is normal when a new
Temperature Limiter
Every radiant surface unit has a
temperature limiter.
The temperature limiter protects the
glass cooktop from getting too hot.
The temperature limiter may cycle the
units
for a time if:
The pan boils dry.
The pan bottom is not flat.
The pan is off center.
There is no pan on the unit.

Selecting types of cookware.GEAppliances.ca
The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.
Safety Instructions
Check pans for at bottoms by using
a straight edge.
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.
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.
Glass-Ceramic:
usable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Stoneware:
usable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Home Canning Tips:
Be sure the canner is centered over
the surface unit.
Make sure the canner is flat on the bottom.
Use recipes and procedures from
reputable sources. These are available
from manufacturers such as Ball®and
®
Kerr
and the Department of Agriculture
Extension Service.
To prevent burns from steam or heat,
use caution when canning.
Operating Instructions
Care and Cleaning
Porcelain Enamel-Covered Cast Iron:
recommended
As long as the cookware is covered
completely with porcelain enamel,
this cookware is recommended. Caution
is recommended for cast-iron cookware
Pans with rounded, curved, ridged or
warped bottoms are not recommended.
that is not completely covered with
smooth porcelain enamel, as it may
scratch the glass-ceramic cooktop.
The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on coil cooktops.
Surface Cookware Tips
For best cooking results, pans should be
flat on the bottom. Match the size of the
saucepan to the size of the surface unit.
The pan should not extend over the edge
of the surface unit more than 2.5 cm
1 inch.
Not over 1 inch
Use medium- or heavy-weight cookware.
Aluminum cookware conducts heat faster
than other metals. Cast-iron and coated
cast-iron cookware are slow to absorb heat,
1?
but generally cook evenly at low to medium
heat settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly
if not combined with other metals.
Wok Cooking
Troubleshooting Tips
Consumer Support
Use only at-bottomed woks.
We recommend that you use only a flatbottomed wok. They are available at your
local retail store.
Do not use woks that have support rings.
Use of these types of woks, with or without
the ring in place, can be dangerous.
Placing the ring over the surface unit will
cause a buildup of heat that will damage
the porcelain cooktop. Do not try to use
such woks without the ring. You could
be seriously burned if the wok tips over.

Using the oven.
Safety Instructions
The oven has5 rack positions.
It also has a special lower rack
position (R) for extra large items,
such as a large turkey.
Before you begin…
The racks have stops, so that when placed
correctly on the supports, they will stop
before coming completely out, and will
not tilt.
When placing and removing cookware,
pull the rack out until it stops.
To remove a rack, pull it toward you,
tilt the front end up and pull it out.
To replace, place the end of the rack
(stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the
front and push the rack in.
CAUTION:
When you are using
a rack in the lowest position (R), you will need
to use caution when pulling the rack out.We
recommend that you pull the rack out several
inches and then, using two pot holders, pull the
rack out by holding the sides of it. The rack is low
and you could be burned if you place your hand
in the middle of the rack and pull all the way out.
Be very careful not to burn your hand on the door
when using the rack in the lowest position (R).
Howto Set theOven for Baking or Roasting (onmodelswithout an oven temperature knob)
The oven has aspecial lower rack(R)
position just above theoven bottom.
Use it when extra cooking space is
needed, for example, when cooking
a large turkey. The rack is not designed
to slide out at this position.
Touch the BAKE pad.
Touch the + or – pads until the
desired temperature is displayed.
Touch the START/ON pad.
The oven will start automatically. The display
