WARNING:
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.
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.
It is safe to place hot cookware from the
oven or surface on the glass cooktop
when the surface is cool.
Never cook directly on the glass.
Always use cookware.
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.
OFF CENTER
Always place the pan in the center of
the surface unit you are cooking on.
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.
DRAGGING
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).
Don’t store heavy items above the cooktop.
If they drop onto the cooktop, they can cause
damage.
Do not slide cookware across the
control or cooktop surface because
it can scratch the glass. The glass is
scratch-resistant, not scratchproof.
Do not use the surface as a cutting board.
NOTE:
Hot surface indicator light will:
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: 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.
Temperature Limiter
Every radiant surface unit has a
temperature limiter.
The temperature limiter may cycle the
units for a time if:
The pan boils dry.
The temperature limiter protects the
glass cooktop from getting too hot.
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.
Stainless Steel:
recommended
Glass-Ceramic:
usable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Aluminum:
heavy weight recommended
Stoneware:
usable, but not 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.
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Check pans for "at bottoms by using
a straight edge.
Home Canning Tips:
Be sure the canner is centered over
the surface unit.
Copper Bottom:
recommended
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.
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
To prevent burns from steam or heat,
use caution when canning.
immediately.
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
that is not completely covered with
smooth porcelain enamel, as it may
scratch the glass-ceramic cooktop.
Pans with rounded, curved, ridged or
warped bottoms are not recommended.
The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on coil cooktops.
Surface Cookware Tips
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,
but generally cook evenly at low to medium
heat settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly
if not combined with other metals.
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.
1?
Not over 1 inch
Wok Cooking
We recommend that you use only a flat-
bottomed wok. They are available at your
local retail store.
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.
Do not use woks that have support rings.
Use of these types of woks, with or without
the ring in place, can be dangerous.
Use only "at-bottomed woks.

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.
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).
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.
The oven has5 rack positions.
It also has a special lower rack
position (R) for extra large items,
such as a large turkey.

Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct
temperature. Preheating is necessary for
good results when baking cakes, cookies,
pastry and breads.
Baking results will be better if baking
pans are centered in the oven as much as
possible. If baking with more than one pan,
place the pans so each has at least 1" to 11⁄2"
of air space around it.
The control will beep when the oven is
preheated and the display will show your
set temperature. This will take approximately
15–20 minutes.
Do not place foods directly
on the oven "oor.
Aluminum Foil
Do not use aluminun foil on the bottom
of the oven.
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch
a spillover by placing it on a lower rack
several inches below the food.
Never entirely cover a rack with aluminum
foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and
result in poor baking.
How to Set the Oven for Broiling
NOTE: Close the door before start any
broiling function.
Touch the BROIL HI/LO pad once
for HI Broil.
To change to LO Broil, touch
the BROIL HI/LO pad again.
Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry
or thick cuts of meat thoroughly without
overbrowning them.
Touch the START pad.
When broiling is finished, touch
the CLEAR/OFF pad.
Place the meat or fish on a broiler grid
in a broiler pan designed for broiling.
Follow suggested rack positions

The type of margarine will affect baking performance!
Most recipes for baking have been developed
using high fat products such as butter or
margarine (80% fat). If you decrease the fat,
the recipe may not give the same results as
with a higher fat product.
Federal standards require products labeled
“margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by
weight. Low-fat spreads, on the other hand,
contain less fat and more water. The high
moisture content of these spreads affects the
texture and flavor of baked goods. For best
results with your old favorite recipes, use
margarine, butter or stick spreads containing
at least 70% vegetable oil.
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries,
cookies or candies are made with low-fat
spreads. The lower the fat content of a spread
product, the more noticeable these differences
become.
21
Using the self-cleaning oven. (on some models)
Never force the latch handle. Forcing the handle will damage the door lock mechanism.
The oven door must be closed and all controls set correctly for the cycle to work properly.
Before a Clean Cycle
For the first self-clean cycle, we recommend
venting your kitchen with an open window
or using a ventilation fan or hood.
Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the oven
bottom.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place
and the oven light is off.
Remove the racks, broiler pan, broiler grid, all
cookware and any aluminum foil from
the oven.
CAUTION: The grates and drip
pans (on some models) should never be
cleaned in the self-cleaning oven.
The oven racks can be self-cleaned,
but they will darken, lose their luster
and become hard to slide.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners or
oven protectors in or near the self-cleaning
oven. A combination of any of these products
plus the high clean cycle temperatures may
damage the porcelain finish of the oven.
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom.
Soil on the front frame of the range and
outside the gasket on the door will need
to be cleaned by hand. Clean these areas
with hot water, soap-filled steel-wool pads
or cleansers such as Soft Scrub®.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is
extremely sensitive to the fumes given off
during the self-cleaning cycle of any range.
Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
Rinse well with clean water and dry.
Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass
material of the oven door gasket cannot
withstand abrasion. It is essential for the
gasket to remain intact. If you notice it
becoming worn or frayed, replace it.

Wipe it up with a damp cloth after the
oven cools.
I You cannot set the oven for cooking until
the oven is cool enough for the door
to unlock.
If white spots remain, remove them with
a soap-filled steel-wool pad and rinse
thoroughly with a vinegar and water mixture.
I While the oven is self-cleaning, you can
touch the CLOCK pad to display the time
of day. To return to the clean countdown,

These deposits are usually a salt residue
that cannot be removed by the clean cycle.
I If the racks become hard to slide,
apply a small amount of vegetable oil
or cooking oil to a paper towel and wipe
the edges of the oven racks with
the paper towel.
If the oven is not clean after one clean cycle,
repeat the cycle.
