Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Care and Cleaning Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support Using the radiant surface units. (on some models) GEAppliances.com SCUOROFKAICNEG 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. Never cook directly on the glass. Always use cookware. OFF CENTER Always place the pan in the center of the surface unit you are cooking on. 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. DRAGGING Do not slide cookware across the cooktop because it can scratch the glass-the glass is scratch resistant, not scratch proof. 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 off 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. 7
