Safety Instructions OperaIntOisnptgreurIacnttsiitonrngusctions Care and Cleaning Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support GEAppliances.com WARNING RADIANT COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (Some models) ■ Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the controls have been turned off. ■ 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. ■ Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The cooktop can be scratched with items such as knives, sharp instruments, rings or other jewelry, and rivets on clothing. ■ 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 or oven vent 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. WARNING COIL COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (Some models) ■ Do not immerse or soak the removable surface units. Do not put them in a dishwasher. Do not selfclean the surface units in an oven. Doing so may cause them to fail presenting a burn or fire hazard. ■ To avoid the possibility of a burn or electric shock, always be certain that the controls for all surface units are at the OFF position and all coils are cool before attempting to lift or remove a coil surface unit. ■ Be sure the drip pans are not covered and are in place. Their absence during cooking could damage range parts and wiring. WARNING OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ■ Stand away from the range when opening the oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes. ■ Keep the oven vent unobstructed. ■ Keep the oven free from grease buildup. Grease in the oven may ignite. ■ Place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let pot holder contact hot heating element in oven. ■ When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer's directions. ■ Pull the oven rack to the stop-lock position when loading and unloading food from the oven. This helps prevent burns from touching hot surfaces of the door and oven walls. ■ Do not leave items such as paper, cooking utensils or food in the oven when not in use. Items stored in an oven can ignite. ■ Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. Foil may trap or reflect heat leading to a shock or fire hazard. 5
