IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or
explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
■Use this appliance only for its intended use
as described in this manual.
■Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of your cooktop unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other
servicing should be referred to a qualified
technician.
■Before performing any service,
disconnect the cooktop power supply
at the household distribution panel by
removing the fuse or switching off the
circuit breaker.
■Be sure your appliance is properly installed
and grounded by a qualified technician in
accordance with the provided installation
instructions.
■Have the installer show you the location of
the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy
reference.
■Do not leave children alone—children
should not be left alone or unattended in
an area where an appliance is in use. They
should never be allowed to sit or stand on
any part of the appliance.
■Teach children not to play with the
controls or any other part of the cooktop.
■Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or
hang on the cooktop.
■CAUTION: Items of interest to
children should not be stored in cabinets
above a cooktop—children climbing on
the cooktop to reach items could be
seriously injured.
■Always keep combustible wall covering,
curtains or drapes a safe distance from
your cooktop.
■Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot
holders and other linens a safe distance
away from your cooktop.
■Always keep wooden and plastic utensils
and canned food a safe distance away
from your cooktop.
■Never wear loose-fitting or hanging
garments while using the appliance.
Flammable material could be ignited if
brought in contact with hot surface units
and may cause severe burns.
■Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp
pot holders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not let pot holders
touch hot surface units. Do not use a towel
or other bulky cloth. Such cloths can catch
fire on a hot surface unit.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F. and poultry
to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against
foodborne illness.

■For your safety, never use your appliance
for warming or heating the room.
■Do not use water on grease fires. Never
pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls
off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface
unit by covering the pan completely with
well fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use
a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
■Flaming grease outside a pan can be put
out by covering with baking soda or, if
available, by using a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
■Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you
do flame foods under the hood, turn the
fan on.
■Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate on
the cooktop.
■Do not touch surface units. These surfaces
may be hot enough to burn even though
they are dark in color. During and after
use, do not touch, or let clothing or other
flammable materials contact the surface
units or areas nearby the surface units;
allow sufficient time for cooling first.
■Potentially hot surfaces include the
cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.
■To minimize the possibility of burns,
ignition of flammable materials and
spillage, the handle of a container
should be turned toward the center of
the cooktop without extending over any
nearby surface units.
■Always turn the surface unit control to off
before removing the cookware.
■To avoid the possibility of a burn or
electric shock, always be certain that the
controls for all surface units are at off
position and all coils are cool before
attempting to lift or remove the unit.
■Do not immerse or soak removable surface
units. Do not put them in a dishwasher.
■Use proper pan size—Select cookware
having flat bottoms large enough to cover
the surface unit heating element. The use
of undersized cookware will expose a
portion of the surface unit to direct
contact and may result in ignition of
clothing. Proper relationship of cookware
to burner will also improve efficiency.
■Never leave surface units unattended
at high heat settings. Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that may
catch on fire.
■Be sure the drip pans are not covered and
are in place. Their absence during cooking
could damage cooktop parts and wiring.
■Do not use aluminum foil to line the drip
pans. Misuse could result in a shock, fire
hazard or damage to the cooktop.
WARNING!
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

■Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers
are suitable for cooktop cooking; others
may break because of the sudden change
in temperature.
■Never clean the cooktop surface when it
is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious
fumes and wet cloths could cause steam
burns if used on a hot surface.
■Keep an eye on foods being fried at high
or medium high heat settings.
■Foods for frying should be as dry as
possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture
on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble
up and over the sides of the pan.
■Use little fat for effective shallow or deep-
fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can
cause spillovers when food is added.
■If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in frying, stir together before heating, or
as fats melt slowly.
■Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it
heats.
■Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
■Never try to move a pan of hot fat,
especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until
the fat is cool.
■Do not store flammable materials near
the cooktop.
■Keep the hood and grease filters clean
to maintain good venting and to avoid
grease fires.
■Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any
appliance.
■Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s
Manual.
■Do not leave paper products, cooking
utensils or food on the cooktop when not
in use.
■Keep cooktop clean and free of
accumulation of grease or spillovers which
may ignite.
■Never heat unopened food containers.
Pressure buildup may make container
burst and cause injury.
■Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings on
or near your cooktop.

Using the surface units. GEAppliances.com
Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.
How to Set
Push the knob in and turn in either
direction to the setting you want.
At both OFF and HI the control clicks
into position. You may hear slight clicking
sounds during cooking, indicating the
control is keeping the power level you
set.
The control must be pushed in to set
only from the OFF position. When the
control is in any position other than OFF,
it may be rotated without pushing it in.
If boiling water, for more efficient use,
turn the knob to HI to bring it to a boil
faster. After the water has come to a boil,
reduce the knob setting to medium-high.
The heat will still be great enough to
maintain a boil, but you will be using less
energy.
An indicator light will glow when any
surface unit is on.
Be sure you turn the control knob to OFF
when you finish cooking.
Surface Cookware Tips
Use medium- or heavyweight 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
1 inch.
Not over 1 inch.
Wok Cooking
We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed
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 tipped over.
Use only flat-bottomed woks.
Deep Fat Frying
Foods for frying should be as dry as
possible. Frost on frozen foods or
moisture on fresh foods can cause
hot fat to bubble up and over the
sides of the pan.

Care and cleaning of the cooktop.
Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the cooktop.
Control Knobs
The control knobs may be removed for easier
cleaning.
Make sure the knobs are in the OFF
positions and pull them straight off the
stems for cleaning.
The knobs can be cleaned in a
dishwasher or they may also be washed
with soap and water. Make sure the insides
of the knobs are dry before replacing.
Replace the knobs in the OFF position
to ensure proper placement.

How to Remove Packaging Tape
To assure no damage is done to the finish
of the product, the safest way to remove
the adhesive left from packaging tape on
new appliances is an application of a
household liquid dishwashing detergent,
mineral oil or cooking oil.
Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak.
Wipe dry and then apply an appliance
polish to thoroughly clean and protect
the surface.
NOTE: The plastic tape must be removed from all
chrome trim. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.

Porcelain Enamel Cooktop (on some models)
The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but
breakable if misused.
This finish is acid-resistant. However, any
acidic foods spilled (such as fruit juices,
tomato or vinegar) should not be
permitted to remain on the finish.
If acids spill on the cooktop while it is
hot, use a dry paper towel or cloth to
wipe it up right away. When the surface
has cooled, wash with soap and water.
Rinse well.
For other spills such as fat spatterings,
wash with soap and water or cleansing
powders after the surface has cooled.
Rinse well. Polish with a dry cloth.

Metal Parts
Do not use steel wool, abrasives,
ammonia or commercial oven cleaners.
To safely clean surfaces, wash, rinse and
then dry with a soft cloth.

To remove the drip pans for cleaning,
the surface units must be removed first.
To remove a surface unit:
Make sure the surface units and drip
pans are completely cool before touching
them.
Lift the surface unit about 1 inch above
the drip pan and pull it out.
Do not lift the surface unit more than 1
inch. If you do, it may not lie flat on the
drip pan when you plug it back in.
Repeated lifting of the surface unit more
than 1 inch above the drip pan can
permanently damage the receptacle.
To clean the drip pans:
Clean the drip pans by hand with warm,
soapy water.
To remove burned-on foods, soak them
in hot, soapy water for several hours.
Then scrub with a soap-filled plastic
scouring pad if necessary.
Rinse with clean water and polish with
a clean soft cloth.
The drip pans may also be cleaned in
a dishwasher.
Clean the area under the drip pans
often. Built-up soil, especially grease,
may catch fire.
Do not cover the drip pans with foil. Using foil so
close to the receptacle could cause shock, fire or
damage to the cooktop.
To replace the surface unit/drip pan:
IMPORTANT: Do not install the surface unit and
drip pan separately into the cooktop because the
surface unit may not lie flat on the drip pan when
plugged in.
Put the surface unit plug terminals
through the side opening of the drip
pan.
Hold the assembled surface unit and
drip pan together and slide the plug
terminals into the plug-in receptacle.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
ATTENTION: All electric cooktops must be hard wired
(direct wired) into an approved junction box. A plug
and receptacle is not permitted for these products.
We recommend you have the electrical wiring and
hookup of your cooktop done by a qualified electrician.
After installation, have the electrician show you where
your main disconnect is located.
Check with your local utilities for electrical codes
which apply in your area. Failure to wire your cooktop
according to governing codes could result in a
hazardous condition. If there are no local codes,
your cooktop must be wired and fused to meet the
requirements of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA No. 70 Latest Edition. You can get
a copy by writing:
National Fire Protection Association
Batterymarch Park
Quincy, MA 02269
You should use a single phase, three wire 240/120 Volt,
60 Hertz electrical power system. If aluminum wiring is
used, all connections MUST be listed for use with
aluminum and copper wiring. It is strongly
recommended that if aluminum wiring is used, the
special terminal grease for use with aluminum wiring,
preferably with “grit”, is put into the connection to keep
it from corroding over time.
At a minimum, the National Electrical Code wire sizing
in Section 310 should be followed. It is further
recommended that No. 8 AWG copper (or No. 6 AWG
aluminum) wire or larger if required, protected with
either a double pole 40 Ampere circuit breaker or two
40 Ampere fuses, be used to supply power to the cooktop.
See the section on Electrical Connections for detailed
instructions on hookup of your cooktop.
M

Before installing the cooktop or moving it to another
location, have the electrician verify:
• That your home is provided with adequate electrical
service.
• That the addition of the cooktop will not overload the
household circuit on which it is used.

WARNING
The electrical power to the cooktop supply line must be
shut off while line connections are being made. Failure to
do so could result in serious injury or death.
When making the wire connections, use the entire length
of conduit provided (3 feet). The conduit must not be cut.
Connect the red and black leads from the cooktop
conduit to the corresponding leads in the junction box.
The power leads supplied with this appliance are UL
recognized for connection to larger gauge household
wiring. The insulation of the leads is rated at much higher
temperatures than the temperature rating of household
wiring. The current carrying capacity of the conductor is
governed by the wire gauge and also the temperature
rating of the insulation around the wire.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
The bare ground wire in the conduit is connected to the
cooktop frame.
When connecting to a 3 conductor branch circuit, if local
codes permit, connect the bare ground connector lead
of the cooktop to the branch circuit neutral (gray or white
in color).
Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical Code
requires that new construction use a (4) conductor
connection and will not permit grounding through
neutral. If used in new construction after January 1,
1996, in a mobile home or recreational vehicle, or if
local codes do not permit grounding through the
neutral white lead, do the following:
Attach the appliance grounding lead (green or bare
copper) to the residence grounding conductor (green
or bare copper) in accordance with local codes.

CONSIGNES DE SÉCURITÉ IMPORTANTES.
VEUILLEZ LIRE TOUTES LES CONSIGNES AVANT D’UTILISER L’APPAREIL.
AVERTISSEMENT!
Pour votre sécurité, veuillez suivre les directives données dans le présent manuel afin de réduire au
minimum les risques d’incendie ou d’explosion et de chocs électriques et de prévenir tout dommage
et blessure grave ou mortelle.
Lorsque vous utilisez un électroménager, observez toujours les consignes de sécurité de base,
notamment les suivantes :
■N’utilisez cet appareil que pour l’usage pour
lequel il a été conçu, comme expliqué dans
le présent manuel.
■Ne tentez pas de réparer ni de remplacer
aucune pièce de votre table de cuisson, à moins
que cela ne soit recommandé dans le présent
manuel. Toute autre réparation doit être
confiée à un technicien qualifié.
■Avant d’effectuer une réparation, coupez
toujours l’alimentation électrique de la table
de cuisson en enlevant le fusible ou en
déclenchant le disjoncteur au panneau
de distribution électrique.
■Assurez-vous que votre appareil est bien installé
et mis à la terre par un technicien qualifié,
conformément aux directives d’installation
fournies.
■Demandez à l’installateur de vous montrer
l’emplacement du disjoncteur ou du fusible.
Marquez-le pour pouvoir le retrouver
facilement.
■Ne laissez pas les enfants sans surveillance—il
ne faut jamais laisser les enfants seuls ou sans
surveillance près d’un électroménager lorsque
celui-ci fonctionne. On doit également leur
interdire de grimper ou de s’asseoir sur une
pièce quelconque de l’appareil.
■Apprenez aux enfants à ne pas jouer avec
les commandes ou toute autre pièce de la table
de cuisson.
■Ne laissez personne grimper ou monter sur
la table de cuisson, ou s’y agripper.
■ATTENTION : Ne rangez pas dans
les armoires se trouvant au-dessus de la table
de cuisson des articles qui présentent un intérêt
pour les enfants—ceux-ci pourraient grimper
sur l’appareil pour les atteindre et risqueraient
de se blesser gravement.
■Gardez toujours les revêtements de mur en
tissu, les rideaux ou les tentures combustibles
à bonne distance de votre table de cuisson.
■Gardez toujours les serviettes, les linges à
vaisselle, les poignées de four et autres tissus
à bonne distance de votre table de cuisson.
■Gardez toujours les ustensiles en bois et
en plastique, ainsi que les boîtes de conserve,
à bonne distance de votre table de cuisson.
■Ne portez jamais de vêtements amples
lorsque vous utilisez cet appareil. Les tissus
inflammables peuvent prendre feu au contact
des éléments de surface et causer de graves
brûlures.
■N’utilisez que des poignées isolantes sèches—
les poignées isolantes humides ou mouillées
peuvent causer des brûlures de vapeur. Ne
laissez pas les poignées entrer en contact avec
les éléments chauffants. N’utilisez pas de
serviettes ou autres objets encombrants en tissu
à la place de poignées isolantes. Ils pourraient
prendre feu au contact d’un élément brûlant.
CONSIGNES DE SÉCURITÉ
CUISSON DE LA VIANDE ET DE LA VOLAILLE…
Faites bien cuire la viande et la volaille—la viande jusqu’à une température INTERNE d’au moins 71,1 °C
(160 °F) et la volaille jusqu’à une température INTERNE d’au moins 82,2 °C (180 °F). La cuisson à ces
températures protège habituellement contre les maladies d’origine alimentaire.

■Pour votre sécurité, n’utilisez jamais
l’appareil pour chauffer ou réchauffer
la pièce.
■Ne tentez pas d’éteindre des feux de
graisse avec de l’eau. Ne prenez jamais
une casserole enflammée dans vos mains.
Ramenez les commandes à «arrêt».
Éteignez les flammes dans une casserole à
l’aide d’un couvercle hermétique, d’une
plaque à biscuits ou d’un plateau. Utilisez
un extincteur chimique tous usages à
poudre sèche ou à mousse.
■Éteignez les feux de graisse à l’extérieur
du poêlon avec du bicarbonate de soude
ou, si possible, un extincteur chimique
tous usages à poudre sèche ou à mousse.
■Ne faites pas flamber d’aliments sur la
table de cuisson. Si vous faites flamber des
aliments sous la hotte, mettez le ventilateur
en marche.
■Ne laissez pas de graisse ou autres
substances inflammables s’accumuler
sur la table de cuisson.
■Ne touchez pas aux éléments de surface.
Ils peuvent être suffisamment chauds pour
causer des brûlures, même s’ils ne sont pas
rouges. Pendant et après leur utilisation,
ne touchez pas aux éléments et évitez
que vos vêtements ou autres matériaux
inflammables entrent en contact avec
les éléments ou les surfaces autour des
éléments; laissez-les d’abord refroidir
suffisamment.
Les surfaces susceptibles de devenir
brûlantes comprennent notamment
la surface de cuisson et les parties qui
y font face.
■Pour réduire au minimum les risques de
brûlures, d’incendie ou de renversements,
assurez-vous de tourner la poignée des
ustensiles vers le centre de la table de
cuisson, en évitant de la placer au-dessus
d’un élément de surface adjacent.
■Éteignez toujours les éléments de surface
avant de retirer les ustensiles de cuisson.
■Pour éviter tout risque de brûlures ou de
chocs électriques, assurez-vous toujours
que les boutons de commande des
éléments de surface sont réglés à «arrêt»
et que tous les éléments ont refroidi avant
de relever ou d’enlever la table de cuisson.
■N’immergez pas ou ne faites pas tremper
les éléments de surface dans de l’eau.
Ne les lavez pas au lave-vaisselle.
■Utilisez des ustensiles de cuisson de la
dimension appropriée—choisissez des
ustensiles à fond plat, suffisamment grands
pour couvrir l’élément de surface.
L’utilisation d’ustensiles trop petits expose
une partie de l’élément de surface à des
contacts directs, ce qui pourrait mettre
le feu aux vêtements. L’utilisation d’un
ustensile approprié à l’élément de surface
améliore également l’efficacité.
■Ne laissez jamais les éléments de surface
sans surveillance lorsqu’ils sont réglés
à une température élevée. Les aliments
renversés peuvent causer de la fumée,
tandis que la graisse peut prendre feu.
■Assurez-vous que les cuvettes ne sont pas
couvertes et qu’elles sont bien en place.
L’absence de cuvettes pendant la cuisson
pourrait endommager le câblage et des
pièces de la table de cuisson.
■N’utilisez pas de papier d’aluminium
pour recouvrir les cuvettes. Une utilisation
inadéquate du papier d’aluminium peut
présenter des risques de chocs électriques,
d’incendie ou de dommages à la table
de cuisson.
AVERTISSEMENT!
CONSIGNES DE SÉCURITÉ

■Seuls certains types de verre, de
vitrocéramique, de terre cuite ou autres
contenants émaillés conviennent à la
cuisson sur la table de cuisson; les autres
peuvent se briser à cause du changement
soudain de température.
■Ne nettoyez jamais la table de cuisson
pendant qu’elle est chaude. Certains
produits nettoyants peuvent produire des
vapeurs nocives lorsqu’ils sont appliqués
sur une surface chaude, et les chiffons
mouillés peuvent provoquer des brûlures
causées par la vapeur.
■Surveillez attentivement les aliments
lorsque vous les faites frire à un réglage
moyen ou élevé.
■Lorsque vous faites frire des aliments,
assurez-vous qu’ils sont aussi secs que
possible. Le givre sur les aliments surgelés
ou l’humidité des aliments frais peut faire
bouillonner la graisse et la faire déborder
sur les côtés de l’ustensile.
■Utilisez peu de graisse pour une friture
efficace à la poêle ou en friteuse. Si le
récipient est trop plein, l’ajout d’aliments
pourrait provoquer un débordement.
■Si vous utilisez plus d’un type d’huile ou
de graisse pour la friture, remuez-les bien
ensemble avant de les faire chauffer ou
pendant qu’ils fondent lentement.
■Faites toujours chauffer les matières
grasses à feu doux, et surveillez-les
constamment.
■Si possible, utilisez un thermomètre à
friture afin d’empêcher l’huile de fumer.
■Ne tentez jamais de déplacer une casserole
contenant des matières grasses chaudes,
particulièrement une friteuse. Attendez
que les matières grasses aient refroidi.
■Ne rangez pas de matériaux inflammables
à proximité de la table de cuisson.
■Gardez toujours la hotte et le filtre à
graisses propre afin d’assurer une bonne
ventilation et éviter les feux de graisse.
■Ne rangez ou n’utilisez jamais de matières
combustibles, d’essence ou autres liquides
inflammables à proximité de cet appareil
ou de tout autre électroménager.
■Ne nettoyez uniquement que des pièces
indiquées dans le présent manuel
d’utilisation.
■Ne laissez pas de produits en papier,
d’ustensiles de cuisson ou d’aliments sur
la table de cuisson pendant qu’elle n’est
pas utilisée.
■Gardez la table de cuisson propre.
Ne laissez pas de graisse ou d’aliments
renversés s’accumuler, car ils pourraient
prendre feu.
■Ne faites jamais chauffer de contenants
d’aliments fermés. La pression pourrait
s’y accumuler et les contenants pourraient
éclater, causant des blessures.
■Ne laissez jamais de pots ou de conserves
contenant des matières grasses de cuisson
sur le dessus ou à proximité de votre table
de cuisson.
