GE JGP637SEJSS - IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING. - 1

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.

WARNING: If the information in this manual is not followed exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or death.

  • Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
  • WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS

  • Do not try to light any appliance.

  • Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.
    Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions.
    If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.

- Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Do not leave children alone or unattended where a cooktop is hot or in operation. They could be seriously burned.
- 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 wooden and plastic utensils and canned food a safe distance away from your cooktop.
■ Always keep combustible wall coverings, curtains or drapes a safe distance from your cooktop.
Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items stored in cabinets over the cooktop. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with flame or hot oven surfaces and may cause severe burns.
■ Teach children not to play with the controls or any other part of the cooktop.
For your safety, never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.
■ Always keep dish towels, dishcloths, pot holders and other linens a safe distance from your cooktop.
- Do not store flammable materials near a cooktop.
If cooktop is located near a window, do not hang long curtains that could blow over the top burners and create a fire hazard.

Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
- Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate near the cooktop.
- Do not operate the burner without all burner parts in place.
Do not place hot cookware on the glass cooktop. This could cause glass to break.
- Do not clean the cooktop with flammable or volatile cleaning fluids.
- Do not clean the cooktop when the appliance is in use.
■ Avoid scratching the cooktop with sharp instruments, or with rings and other jewelry.
■Never use the cooktop as a cutting board.
Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface burner by covering the pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by covering it with baking soda or, if available, by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

GE JGP637SEJSS - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS - 1

WARNING! SURFACE BURNERS

Use proper pan size—avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. 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.

■ 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.

Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot holders 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 back 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.

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.

Large scratches or impacts to glass cooktops can lead to broken or shattered glass.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

GE JGP637SEJSS - IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING. - 1

SURFACE BURNERS

Adjust the top burner flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous.

  • 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.

  • Don't use aluminum foil to line burner bowls. 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.
    Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can lead to damage and improper operation of the cooktop.

text_image OFF LITE HI

Be sure you turn the control knob to OFF when you finish cooking.

How to Light a Burner

Your cooktop burners are lit by electric ignition, eliminating the need for standing pilot lights with constantly burning flames.

Push the control knob in and turn it counterclockwise to the LITE position. After the burner ignites, turn the knob to adjust the flame size. To turn the burner off, turn the knob clockwise as far as it will go, to the OFF position.

In case of a power failure, you can light the burners with a match. Hold a lit match to the burner, then push in and turn the control knob to the LITE position. Use extreme caution when lighting burners this way. Burners in use when an electrical power failure occurs will continue to operate normally.
Do not operate the burner for an extended 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.

Simmer and Power Burners (on some models)

The right rear and center rear burners are best for smaller pans and cooking operations requiring carefully controlled simmering conditions.

The front right burner is a high power burner for larger pans and fast boiling operations.

GE JGP637SEJSS - Simmer and Power Burners (on some models) - 1

natural_image Simple line drawing of a cooking pot with a crossed-out black mark (no text or symbols)

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. When fast heating is desired, the flame size on a gas burner should match the cookware you are using.

Flames larger than the bottom of the cookware will not result in faster heating of the cookware and could be hazardous.

Using the cooktop burners.

GE JGP637SEJSS - Using the cooktop burners. - 1
Use a flat-bottomed wok.

Wok This Way

We recommend that you use a 14" or smaller flat-bottomed wok. Make sure the wok bottom sits flat on the grate. They are available at your local retail store.

Only a flat-bottomed wok should be used.

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 standards. This could be dangerous to your health.

natural_image Cross symbol crossed over a ring, no text or labels present

Stove Top Grills

Do not use stove top grills on your sealed gas burners. If you use the stove top grill on the sealed gas burner, it will cause incomplete combustion and can result in exposure to carbon monoxide levels above allowable current standards.

This can be hazardous to your health.

Cookware

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 tea pots). 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.

Home Canning Tips

Be sure the canner is centered over the burner.

Make sure the canner is flat on the bottom.

To prevent burns from steam or heat, use caution when canning.

Use recipes and procedures from reputable sources. These are available from manufacturers such as Ball ^® and Kerr ^® and the Department of Agriculture Extension Service.

Flat-bottomed canners are recommended. Use of water bath canners with rippled bottoms may extend the time required to bring the water to a boil.

Care and cleaning of the cooktop. ge.com

Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the cooktop.

How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape

Carefully grasp a corner of the protective shipping film with your fingers and slowly peel it from the appliance surface. Do not use any sharp items to remove the film. Remove all of the film before using the appliance for the first time.

To assure no damage is done to the finish of the product, the safest way to remove the adhesive from packaging tape on new appliances is an application of a household liquid dishwashing detergent. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak.

NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all parts. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.

GE JGP637SEJSS - Sealed Burner Assemblies - 1

text_image Electrode

The electrode of the spark igniter is exposed when the burner head is removed. When one burner is turned to LITE, all the burners spark. Do not attempt to disassemble or clean around any burner while another burner is on. An electric shock may result, which could cause you to knock over hot cookware.

Care and cleaning of the cooktop.

Burner Caps and Heads

NOTE: Before removing the burner caps and heads, remember their size and location. Replace them in the same location after cleaning.

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.

Burner heads

For proper ignition, make sure the small hole in the section that fits over the electrode is kept open. A sewing needle or wire twist-tie works well to unclog it.

The slits in the burner heads must be kept clean at all times for an even, unhampered flame.

Clogged or dirty burner ports or electrodes will not allow the burner to operate properly.

Any spill on or around an electrode must be carefully cleaned. Take care to not hit an electrode with anything hard or it could be damaged.

You should clean the burner caps and burner heads routinely, especially after bad spillovers, which could clog the openings in the burner heads. Lift off when cool.

To remove burned-on food, soak the burner heads in a solution of mild liquid detergent and hot water for 20–30 minutes. For more stubborn stains, use a toothbrush.

After cleaning

Before putting the burner caps and heads back, shake out excess water and then dry them thoroughly by setting in a warm oven for 30 minutes.

NOTE: Do not use steel wool or scouring powders to clean the burners.

Replacement

Replace burner heads over the electrodes on the cooktop, in the correct locations according to their size.

When replacing the grates, be sure they're positioned securely over the burners.

Burner Grates

Lift out when cool. Grates should be washed regularly and, of course, after spillovers. Wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. When replacing the grates, be sure they are positioned securely over the burners.

Do not operate a burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.

To get rid of burned-on food, place the grates in a covered container. Add 1/4 cup ammonia and let them soak several hours or overnight. Wash, rinse well and dry.

Although they are durable, the grates will gradually lose their shine, regardless of the best care you can give them. This is due to their continual exposure to high temperatures. You will notice this sooner with lighter color grates.

NOTE: Do not clean the grates in a self-cleaning oven.

Stainless Steel Surfaces (if included)

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.

To inquire about purchasing stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish, or to find the location of a dealer nearest you, please call our toll-free number:

C Installing the Cooktop

C1 Provide Adequate Gas Supply

This cooktop is designed to operate on natural gas at 4" of water column pressure. It is shipped from the factory set for natural gas. The convertible pressure regulator supplied with the unit must be connected in series with the manifold of the cooktop and must remain in series with the supply line regardless of whether natural or L.P. gas is being used. FOR PROPER OPERATION, THE MAXIMUM INLET PRESSURE TO THE REGULATOR MUST BE NO MORE THAN 14" OF WATER COLUMN PRESSURE. For checking the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least 1"(or 3.4 KPA) greater than the regulator output setting. If the regulator is set for 4" of water column pressure, the inlet pressure must be at least 5". If the regulator is set for 10", the inlet pressure must be at least 11". The gas supply line to the cooktop should be 1/2" or 3/4" pipe.

C3 Installing the Regulator

NEVER REUSE OLD CONNECTORS WHEN INSTALLING THIS COOKTOP.

WARNING: Never reuse old flexible connectors. The use of old flexible connectors can cause gas leaks and personal injury. Always use new flexible connectors when installing a gas appliance.

Screw a section of pipe onto each end of the pressure regulator.

C6 Check for Leaks

After connecting the cooktop to gas, check system for leaks with a manometer. If a manometer is not available, turn the gas supply on to the cooktop and use a liquid leak detector at all joints and connections to check for leaks.

Tighten all connections if necessary to prevent gas leakage in the cooktop or supply line.

Check alignment of valves after connecting the cooktop to the gas supply to be sure the manifold pipe has not been moved. A misalignment could cause the valve knob stem to rub on the control panel, resulting in a gas leak at the valve.

DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS!

Disconnect this cooktop and its individual shutoff valve from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures greater than 1/2" psig.

Isolate the cooktop from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2" psig.

D Installation—Electrical Connections

D1 Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord. However, if you still elect to use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL listed 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord and that the current carrying rating of the cord in amperes be equivalent to or greater than the branch circuit rating. Such extension cords are obtainable through your local appliance dealer.

IMPORTANT: (Please read carefully) FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.

D3 Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.

Do not under any circumstances cut or remove grounding prong from the cooktop cord. Failure to provide proper polarization may create a hazardous condition.

D2 An adequate electrical supply and outlet must be used to operate the electrical parts of your cooktop.

a. The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug which must be used with a properly grounded three-hole outlet with a standard 120 Volt, 60 cycle AC household current.
b. If you do not have a three-hole grounded outlet, have a qualified electrician change your old one.
c. A grounding adaptor will be needed to convert the old one until the outlet can be replaced. This method is only temporary, and a qualified electrician should test it to be sure it meets requirements.

Insure proper ground and firm connection before use

D Installation—Electrical Connections

D4 Usage situations where appliance power cord will be disconnected infrequently.

For 15 amp circuit only. Do not use an adaptor on a 20 amp circuit. Where local codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded two-prong wall receptacle by the use of a UL listed adaptor available at most hardware stores. The larger slot in the adaptor must be aligned with the large slot in the wall receptacle to provide proper polarity in the connection of the power cord.

GE JGP637SEJSS - D4 Usage situations where appliance power cord will be disconnected infrequently. - 1

text_image Insure proper ground and firm connection before use Align large prongs/slots Temporary Method (Adaptor plugs not permitted in Canada)

CAUTION: Attaching the adaptor ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded through the house wiring. The customer should have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.

When disconnecting the power cord from the adaptor, always hold the adaptor with one hand. If this is not done, the adaptor ground terminal is very likely to break with repeated use. Should this happen, DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper ground has again been established.

Usage situations where appliance power cord will be disconnected frequently.

Do not use an adaptor plug in these situations because disconnection of the power cord places undue strain on the adaptor and leads to eventual failure of the adaptor ground terminal. The customer should have the two-prong receptacle replaced with a three-prong (grounding) receptacle by a qualified electrician before using the appliance.

E Cooktop Burners

E1 Assembling the Cooktop Burners

The electrode of the spark igniter is exposed. Be careful not to push any cooktop controls while the top of the burner is removed. Do not remove the top or touch the electrode of any burner while another burner is turned on. Electrical shock might result.

a. Place the burner head on the burner bowl, so that the location of the spark igniter matches up with the opening in the burner head.
b. Position the burner cap on the burner head. Make sure all burner heads and burner caps are placed onto the correct base locations. See the Care and cleaning of the cooktop section for correct locations of the burner parts.
c. Place the burner grate over the burner assembly and into the burner bowl. The bottoms of the burner grates have fingers that fit into the corresponding indentations in the burner bowl.

E2 Checking the Igniters

Operation of the electric igniters should be checked after the cooktop and supply line have been carefully checked for leaks and the cooktop has been connected to the electrical power.

a. Push and turn a burner valve to the LITE position.

- The burner valve should light when gas is available to the burner

- Once the burner lights, it should be turned out of the LITE position.

b. Try each valve separately until all burners have been checked.

E3 Burner Ignition

Cooktop Spark Ignition—When you turn the cooktop knob to LITE, the spark igniter makes a series of electric sparks (ticking sounds) which light the burner.

During a power failure, the burners will not light automatically. In an emergency, a cooktop burner may be lit with a match by following the steps below.

WARNING: Lighting gas burners with a match is dangerous. You should match light the cooktop burners only in an emergency.

a. Light a match and hold the flame near the burner you want to light. Wooden matches work best.
b. Push in and turn the control knob slowly. Be sure you are turning the correct knob for the burner you are lighting.

NOTE: If the burner does not light within five seconds, turn the knob off and wait one minute before trying again.

E4 The Burner Flames

Turn each burner on. Flames should be blue in color with no trace of yellow. The burner flames should not flutter or blow away from the burner. The inner cone of the flame should be between 1/2" and 3/4" long.

GE JGP637SEJSS - E4 The Burner Flames - 1
