MOD~ES Am ACCESSO~S
—General Information
Afull selection of modules is available for the range cooktop. The modules
can be interchanged quickly and easily. Each module has an electrical plug
which fits into areceptacle in the side of the well nearest the center of the
cooktop. Some modules are inserted and removed differently than others.
See each module section for specific instructions for installing and
removing that module.
To purchase, contact your nearest GE Appliances dealer or service center.
If you need assistance in finding your nearest GE dealer, contact the GE
Answer Center@at 800.626.2000.
Careof Modules
Someofthemodulesmust be curedor preconditioned
before using them for the first time.
Modules and accessories should be cleaned after
each use. The longer asoil remains, the harder it is
to clean. See each module section in this guide for
specific instructions. Never immerse any module
in water.
When not in the cooktop, modules and accessories
shouldbe storedin aclean, dry place.Alwaysbe careful
notto dropthemoddes ortheycouldbe damaged.
UsingElectricSurfaceUnitModules
Youmust consider heat up and cool down times for
the surface units when determining cooking times.
Heat up and cool down times depend on the initial
temperature settings, the type of cookware used and
the amount of food being cooked.
Start cooking at ahigher setting to heat the surface
unit faster, then turn to alower setting to finish
cooking. Remember, cooking continues after the
surface unit is turned off.
