IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of
substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposure to such substances.
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde
and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated
by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be
minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
Have the installer show you the location of the cooktop gas shutoff valve and how to shut it off if necessary.
Have your cooktop installed and properly grounded by
a qualified installer, in accordance with the Installation
Instructions. Any adjustment and service should be performed
only by qualified gas cooktop installers or service technicians.
Be sure your cooktop is correctly adjusted by a qualified
service technician or installer for the type of gas (natural or
LP) that is to be used. Your cooktop can be converted for use
with either type of gas. See the Installation Instructions. Your
model is factory adjusted for use with natural gas.
Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your cooktop
unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other
service should be referred to a qualified technician.
Locate the cooktop out of kitchen traffic path and out of
drafty locations to prevent poor burner performance.
Plug your cooktop into a 120-volt grounded outlet only. Do
not remove the round grounding prong from the plug. If in
doubt about the grounding of the home electrical system,
it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have an
ungrounded outlet replaced with a properly grounded, three-
prong outlet in accordance with the National Electrical Code.
Do not use an extension cord with this appliance.
Let the burner grate and other surfaces cool before touching
them or leaving them where children can reach them.
Be sure all packaging materials are removed from the
cooktop before operating it to prevent fire or smoke damage
should the packaging material ignite.
Be sure your cooktop is correctly adjusted by a qualified
service technician or installer.

cover burner grate. To avoid spillovers, make sure cookware is large enough to contain the food properly. This will both save
cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left on cooktop can ignite.
Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped and remain cool.
WARNING!
SURFACE BURNERS
Always use the LITE position when igniting the top burners
and make sure the burners have ignited.
Never leave the surface burners unattended at high flame
settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers
that may catch on fire.
8VHRQO\GU\SRWKROGHUV³PRLVWRUGDPSSRWKROGHUV
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let pot holders come near open flames when lifting
cookware. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place
of a pot holder. Such cloths can catch fire on a hot burner.
When using glass cookware, make sure it is designed for
cooktop cooking.
To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of flammable
materials and spillage, turn cookware handles toward
the side or center of the cooktop without extending over
adjacent burners.
Always turn the surface burner controls off before
removing cookware.
Carefully watch foods being fried at a high flame setting.
Always heat fat slowly and watch as it heats.
Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air from
the vent may ignite flammable items and will increase
pressure in closed containers, which may cause them to
burst.
If a combination of oils or fats will be used in frying, stir
together before heating or as fats melt slowly.
Do not use a wok on the cooking surface if the wok has
a round metal ring that is placed over the burner grate
to support the wok. This ring acts as a heat trap, which
may damage the burner grate and burner head. Also, it
may cause the burner to work improperly. This may cause
a carbon monoxide level above that allowed by current
standards, resulting in a health hazard.
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 the least possible amount of fat for effective shallow
or deep-fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause
spillovers when food is added.
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 flame foods on the cooktop. If you do flame foods
under the hood, turn the fan on.
'RQRWOHDYHSODVWLFLWHPVRQWKHFRRNWRS³WKH\PD\PHOW
if left too close to the vent.
Keep all plastics away from the surface burners.
If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the cooktop and call a
qualified service technician. Never use an open flame to
locate a leak.
To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be certain that
the controls for all burners are at the off position and all
grates are cool before attempting to remove them.
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.
Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings on or near your
cooktop.
Do not use aluminum foil under burner grate. Misuse
could result in a fire hazard or damage to the cooktop.
Do not cover or block the area around the cooktop knobs.
This area must be kept clear for proper ventilation and
burner performance.
Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s Manual.

Using the gas surface burners.
Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.
How to Light a Gas Surface Burner
Push the control knob down and turn it to
the LITE position.
You will hear a little clickingQRLVH³WKH
sound of the electric spark igniting the
burner.
After the burner ignites, turn the knob to
adjust the flame size.
To turn a burner off, turn the knob
clockwise, as far as it will go, to the OFF
position.
If the flame is too low at the setting, the
YDOYHFDQEHDGMXVWHG5HIHUWR)ODPHVWRR
high or too low at the LO/SIMMER setting
in the Troubleshooting Tips section.
Push the control knob down and
turn it to the LITE position.
How to Select Flame Size
For safe handling of cookware, never
let the flames extend up the sides of the
cookware.
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you
reduce heat. The flame size on a gas
burner should match the cookware you
are using.
Any flame larger than the bottom of the
cookware is wasted and only serves to
heat the handle.
If the burner has not been used recently,
the flames may make a loud noise. This is
normal, and it should dissipate after 4 to 5
minutes.
Electric Ignition
Your surface burners are lit by
electric ignition, eliminating the need
for standing pilots with constantly
burning flames.
In case of a power outage, you can
light the surface burners on your
cooktop with a match. Hold a lit
match to the burner, then turn the
control knob to the high position.
Use extreme caution when lighting
the burners this way.
Surface burners in use when an
electrical power failure occurs will
continue to operate normally.
IN CASE OF A POWER FAILURE,
THE VENTILATION SYSTEM WILL
NOT OPERATE. DO NOT USE THE
GRILL MODULE OR GRIDDLE IF
THE VENTILATION SYSTEM IS NOT
OPERATIONAL.
Before Lighting a Gas Burner
Make sure all grates on the cooktop are
in place before using any burner.
Only surface burners may be used on
the right side.
After Lighting a Gas Burner
Donotoperatetheburnerforanextended
period of time without cookware on the
grate. The finish on the grate may chip
without cookware to absorb the heat.
Check to be sure the burner you turn on
is the one you want to use.
Be sure the burners and grates are cool
before you place your hand, a pot holder,
cleaning cloths or other materials on
them.
When trying to simmer delicate foods,
use the right side of the unit for best
results. The LO setting on the left side
is hotter to accommodate the grill
module. If you find that the LO setting
is too hot, you can adjust the valve. See
the Troubleshooting Tips section.
Do not allow large pans to extend
over the control knobs. Heat trapped
between large pans and control knobs
could cause possible damage to the
control knobs.

Wok This Way
We recommend that you use a flat-bottomed
wok, available at your local retail store.
Only a flat-bottomed wok should be used. Do
not use a flat-bottomed wok with a wok holder.
Do not use a flat-bottomed wok on a support
ring. Placing the ring over the burner or grate
may cause the burner to work improperly,
resulting in carbon monoxide levels above
allowable current standards. This could be
dangerous to your health.
Use a flat-bottomed wok.
Cookware
Use large diameter cookware on rear burners.
Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is
recommended because it heats quickly
and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in an
aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with tight
fitting lids when cooking with minimum
amounts of water.
Enamelware: Under some conditions, the
enamel of some cookware may melt. Follow
cookware manufacturer’s recommendations
for cooking methods.
Glass: There are two types of glass cookware:
those for oven use only and those for cooktop
cooking (saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass
conducts heat very slowly.
Cast Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will
give satisfactory results.
Heatproof Glass-Ceramic: Can be used for
either surface or oven cooking.
It conducts heat very slowly and cools very
slowly. Check cookware manufacturer’s
directions to be sure it can be used on a gas
cooktop.
Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor
heating properties and is usually combined
with copper, aluminum or other metals for
improved heat distribution. Combination metal
skillets usually work satisfactorily if they are
used with medium heat as the manufacturer
recommends.
Using your cooktop. GEAppliances.com
The built-in vent system helps remove
cooking vapors, odors and smoke from foods
prepared on the cooktop.
To turn on the vent fan, use the vent control
switch on the control panel.
• Turn the vent fan speed control knob to
HI, MED or LO as needed.
NOTE: Even if the fan switch is in the OFF
position, the fan will turn on automatically
and operate continuously while the grill
burner module is in use.
Continuous use of the vent system while
cooking helps keep the kitchen comfortable
and less humid, reducing cooking odors
and soiling moisture that normally creates a
frequent need for cleaning.
At the HI fan speed setting, it is normal
for the nearby burner flames to be drawn
toward the vent grille. If cooking performance
is affected, then use a lower fan speed setting.
IN CASE OF A POWER FAILURE, THE
VENTILATION SYSTEM WILL NOT OPERATE.
DO NOT USE THE GRILL MODULE OR
GRIDDLE IF THE VENTILATION SYSTEM IS NOT
OPERATIONAL.

Grilling Tips
• With your grill, any food you’ve considered
“at its best” when prepared outdoors can
now be prepared indoors with less fuss
and great flavor.
• The following suggestions are good rules
to follow and will increase your enjoyment
of the equipment. Be sure to follow
directions in this manual for using the grill.
• Suggested cooking times and control
settings are approximate due to variations
in meats. Experience will quickly indicate
cooking times as well as which settings
work best.
• For best results, buy top-grade meat. Meat
that is at least 3/4-inch thick will grill better
than thinner cuts.
• For the attractive “branded” look on steaks,
be sure the grill is preheated. Allow one
side of the meat to cook to the desired
doneness, or until the juices appear on
the top surface, before turning. Turn steaks
and hamburgers just once. Moving the food
around causes loss of juices.
• When basting meats or applying sauces
to foods, remember that excessive
amounts wind up inside your grill and do
not improve the food flavor. Apply sauces
during the last 15 to 20 minutes of cooking
time unless the recipe specifies otherwise.
Sugar-based marinade (for example,
barbecue sauce) will caramelize on grill
grate and will create a cleaning chore.
• There are many meat marinades which will
help tenderize less expensive cuts of meat
for cooking on the grill.
• Certain foods, such as poultry and non-
oily fish, may need some extra fat. Brush
with oil or melted butter occasionally while
grilling.
• Use tongs with long handles or spatulas for
turning meats. Do not use forks because
these pierce the meat, allowing juices to
be lost.
• To help retain meat juices, salt after
turning meat or after cooking is completed.
• Score the fat on the edges of steaks but
do not cut into the meat to prevent curling
while cooking.

Griddle Accessory
Using the griddle:
1. Before the first use, wash your new
griddle in hot soapy water, rinse and dry.
Then “condition” the surface by wiping on
a thin coating of cooking oil or shortening.

again with another paper towel.
2. Insert grill burner. DO NOT use grill grate.
3. Place griddle over grill burner so that the
drain holes are in front. This will permit
excess grease to be collected in the
grease container.
4. Preheat the griddle 5 to 10 minutes at the
specified setting as noted in the Griddle
Guide.
5. Use non-metallic spatulas or utensils
while cooking to prevent damaging the
finish.
IMPORTANT:
IN CASE OF A POWER FAILURE, THE
VENTILATION SYSTEM WILL NOT OPERATE.
DO NOT USE THE GRILL MODULE OR
GRIDDLE IF THE VENTILATION SYSTEM IS NOT
OPERATIONAL.
Griddle Guide
NOTE: These are suggested guides for control settings and times. Factors such as low gas pressure may affect the times
and control settings that provide the best results. Preheat 5 to 10 minutes at specified setting.

NOTE: The griddle uses the grill burner module, so the fan will turn on automatically and operate continuously while the
griddle accessory is in use.

Control Knobs and Control Panel Seal
After grilling there may be soot on the knobs
and control panel seal. This soot can be
removed by scrubbing with a plastic scrubber
and mild dishwashing detergent. The control
knobs may be removed for cleaning.
To remove a knob, pull it straight up.
Wash the knobs in soap and water but do not
soak. Avoid getting water down into the knob
stem holes.
Wipe with a sponge, damp cloth or paper
towel. Do not scrub with steel wool pads or
abrasive cleansers.
To replace a knob, match the flat part of the
knob opening with the flat side of the shaft.
Care and cleaning of the cooktop. GEAppliances.com
Before Cleaning
Before cleaning any part of your cooktop, be
sure all controls are off and DISCONNECT
ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE COOKTOP at
the fuse box or circuit breaker panel, or pull
the cooktop power plug, located beneath the
cooktop and inside the cabinets.
Do not operate the cooktop without all parts
in place.
Grease Jar
A grease jar is located below the grill basin
pan under the countertop. Check periodically
to prevent spillovers. Unscrew and remove.
If the jar is broken, replace with any heat
tempered jar, such as a canning jar, that has a
wide mouth screw neck.
Porcelain Cooktop
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 to wipe it up right away.
When the surface has cooled, wash with soap
DQGZDWHURUFOHDQVLQJSRZGHUV5LQVHZHOO
For other spills, such as fat spatterings,
wash with soap and water or cleansing

well. Polish with a dry cloth.
Stainless Steel Surfaces
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch
the surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm
sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or
polish. Always wipe the surface in the direction
of the grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for
cleaning the stainless steel surface.

and dry thoroughly before using again. For
heavy soil, the burner should be cleaned
first with a soapy steel wool pad, rinsed
and dried. Then it can be cleaned in a self-
cleaning oven for two hours.
NOTE: Check to be sure all burner ports are
open. To open clogged ports, insert a twist
tie directly into each port.
Grill Burner
Care and cleaning of the cooktop.

The grate should be cleaned after each
use. It can be cleaned with detergent and a
plastic scrubber, such as Tuffy, or washed
in the dishwasher if burned-on residue is
first removed. For heavy soil, the grate can
be soaked in hot, soapy water mixed with
household ammonia.
Do not use metal brushes or abrasive
scouring pads or other scrubbers intended
to clean outdoor grills.
These will remove the finish as well as
scratch the grate. Do not clean in a self-
cleaning oven or use oven cleaners on the
grate.
Grill Grate
Vent Grille: The vent grille lifts off easily.
Wipe clean or wash in the sink with mild
household detergents.
NOTE: On models with a white vent grille,
stubborn stains may be removed by soaking
the grille in a 50/50 mix of bleach and water
overnight. After cleaning, rinse the grille
thoroughly and dry it before replacing.
Filter: Turn off the fan before removing.
Turn the filter retainer clip to remove the
filter. The filter is a permanent type and
should be cleaned when soiled. Clean
in the sink with warm water and liquid
dishwashing detergent.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate the fan without
the filter. The filter should always be placed
at an angle. As you face the front of the
cooktop, the top of the filter should rest
against the left side of the vent opening and
the bottom of the filter should rest against
the right side of the ventilation chamber at
the bottom. If the filter is flat against the fan
wall, ventilation effectiveness is reduced.
Ventilation Chamber: This area, which
houses the filter, should be cleaned in the
event of spills or whenever it becomes
coated with a film of grease. The ventilation
chamber may be cleaned with a paper
towel, damp cloth or sponge and a mild
household detergent or cleanser.
Vent Grille and Filter
When replacing the filter, make
sure it rests, at an angle, on the
supports in the vent opening.
Latch it in place.

Griddle Accessory
DO NOT immerse a hot griddle in cold water.
Once the griddle has cooled, wash with soap
or detergent in hot water in the sink. Be sure
to remove all food residue before cooking on
the griddle again.

pad. For best results, use only those cleaning
products which are recommended for use
when cleaning non-stick surfaces. Do not use
steel wool or coarse scouring pads.
DO NOT wash in a dishwasher.

Igniters Electrodes
It is important to keep igniter port openings on
burners clear and free of obstructions to avoid
ignition failure and possible gas buildup. If the
port openings are blocked, use a twist tie or
paper clip to remove any clogs in the burner
slits.
This small metal rod in the burner produces
the spark and must be kept clean and dry to
properly ignite the gas. Use a dry paper towel
or scrub pad to keep the electrode clean.
Sealed Burner Module
Cooktop Surface:
To prevent the cooktop from discoloring or
staining:
• Clean the cooktop after each use.
• Wipe up acidic or sugary spills as soon as
the cooktop has cooled, because these
spills may discolor the porcelain.
Sealed Burners:
The sealed burners of your cooktop are
secured to the cooktop module and are not
designed to be removed. Since the burners
are sealed into the module, boilovers or
spills will not seep underneath the cooktop.
However, the burner heads should be cleaned
after each use.
Burner Grate:
The grate must be properly positioned before
cooking. Improper installation of the grate
may result in chipping of the cooktop.
Do not operate burners without a pan on the
grate. The grate’s porcelain finish may chip
without a pan to absorb the heat from the
burner flame.
Although the burner grate is durable, it will
gradually lose its shine and/or discolor, due to
the high temperatures of the gas flame.
Burner Caps:
Lift off when cool. Wash burner caps in hot,
soapy water and rinse with clean water. You
may scour with a plastic scouring pad to
remove burned-on food particles.
Porcelain Burner Basin
This area is located under the grill and surface
burners and should be cleaned after each use
of the grill.
To remove light soil, clean with soapy water
or with a cleaner such as 409®. For easier
cleanup, soak paper towels in a household
cleanser, lay in the burner basin and soak for
at least a half hour or longer.
To remove moderate soil, scrub with Comet®,
Bon Ami®, a soft scrub cleanser or plastic
scrubber.
To remove stubborn soil, spray with an oven
