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. Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Care and Cleaning Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support■ 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 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. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the cooktop.5 Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Care and Cleaning Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support GEAppliances.com 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. 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. ■ 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. 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. ■ When preparing flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on. ■ Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop— they may melt 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.Your cooktop is shipped from the factory set to operate only with Natural Gas. If you wish to use your cooktop with Liquefied Petroleum Gas, you must follow the Installation Instructions packed with your cooktop. See LP Conversion Instructions. This conversion must be performed by a qualified technician. ■ Clean the cooktop surface with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. NOTE: We recommend that you avoid wiping any surface areas until they have cooled. Sugar spills are the exception to this. Please see Cleaning the glass cooktop surface section. ■ When the cooktop is cool, use only CERAMA BRYTE

Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner and the CERAMA BRYTE

Cleaning Pad to clean the cooktop. ■ To avoid possible damage to the cooking surface, do not apply cleaning cream to the glass surface when it is hot. ■ After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper towel to remove all cleaning cream residue. ■ Read and follow all instructions and warnings on the cleaning cream labels. ■ 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. ■ Large scratches or impacts to glass cooktops can lead to broken or shattered glass. ■ Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s Manual.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING. Adjust the top burner flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous. SURFACE BURNERS 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.

Safety InstructionsOperating InstructionsCare and CleaningTroubleshooting TipsConsumer SupportUsing the cooktop burners. GEAppliances.com Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model. How to Light a Burner Make sure the control lock knob is in the UNLOCK position. Your cooktop burners are lit by electric ignition, eliminating the need for standing pilot lights with constantly burning flames. Push the control knob down and turn it 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. ■ Check to be sure the burner you turn on is the one you want to use. ■ Be sure you turn the control knob to OFF when you finish cooking. ■ 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. ■ Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or other materials on them. Control Lock (on some models) To lock the cooktop and prevent unwanted use, turn the control lock knob counterclockwise to LOCK. An indicator light will glow to show that the cooktop is locked. When locked, the cooktop will sound if any control knob is set to any position other than OFF. To unlock, turn the control lock knob to UNLOCK. UNLOCK LOCK CONTROL LOCK Sealed Gas Burners The smallest burner in the right rear and the center burner (on some models) are the simmer burners. These burners can be turned down to LO or SIMMER (depending on model) for a very low setting. They provide precise cooking performance for delicate foods such as sauces or foods that require low heat for a long cooking time. The medium (left rear) and the large (left front) burners are the general- purpose burners that can be turned down from HI to LO to suit a wide range of cooking needs. Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Care and Cleaning Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support Dual Stack Burner (on some models) The extra large right front burner has maximum heating and precise simmer capability. It can be turned down from PowerBoil

to SIMMER for a wide range of cooking applications. PowerBoil

Burner (on some models) The extra large right front burner has special PowerBoil

settings. This feature should only be used with cookware 11″ or larger in diameter, and flames should never be allowed to extend up the sides of the cookware. This feature is designed to quickly bring large amounts of liquid in pots 11″ or larger in diameter to a boil. 7Using the cooktop burners. Cookware Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is recommended because it heats quickly and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in aluminum cookware. 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 cookware 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 cookware usually works satisfactorily if it is used with medium heat as the manufacturer recommends.

Safety InstructionsOperating InstructionsCare and CleaningTroubleshooting TipsConsumer Support Home Canning Tips Be sure the canner is centered over the burner. 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 the Department of Agriculture Extension Service. Wok This Way We recommend that you use a 14-inch or smaller flat-bottomed wok. They are available at your local retail store. Only a flat-bottomed wok should be used. Make sure the wok bottom sits flat on the grate. Do not use a wok 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. Use a flat-bottomed wok. 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.Care and cleaning of the cooktop. GEAppliances.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 left 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 before using the cooktop. It cannot be removed if it is baked on. 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. Pull the knob straight up off the stem. Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Care and Cleaning Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support 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 an all- purpose cleaner and water. Rinse well. For other spills such as fat spatterings, wash with soap and water or an all-purpose cleaner after the surface has cooled. Rinse well. Polish with a dry cloth. 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.

Clean this metal part Do not clean this white ceramic part with an emery board NOTE: Before removing the burner caps and heads, remember their size and location. Replace them in the same location after cleaning. Burner Caps and Heads Wash burner caps and burner heads in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean running water. You may scour with a plastic scouring pad to remove burned- on food particles. Use a sewing needle or twist tie to unclog the small holes in the burner head, if required. To remove burned-on food, soak the burner heads in a solution of mild liquid dishwashing detergent and hot water for up to 20–30 minutes, if required. For more stubborn stains, use a toothbrush. If the spill went inside the burner head assembly (right front burner on models JGP945 and JGP975), wash it under running water. Shake to remove any excess water. Air dry and make sure the small ignitor holes are open. NOTE: Do not wash any burner parts in a dishwasher. Electrodes The electrode of the spark igniter is exposed beyond the surface of the burner base. When cleaning the cooktop, be careful not to snag the electrode of the spark igniter with your cleaning cloth. Damage to the igniter could occur. Be careful not to push in any cooktop controls while cleaning the cooktop. A slight electrical shock might result which could cause you to knock over hot cookware. Make sure that the white ceramic electrodes in the cooktop are clear of soil and dry. Clean the metal part of the electrode with a soft cloth. For stubborn, hardened soil, clean the metal portion of the electrode with an emery board. Do not clean the white ceramic portion of the electrode with the emery board. It is acceptable to clean the white portion of the electrode with a soft cloth, but not with an emery board. Before reassembling the surface burners, push down on each of the white ceramic electrodes to make sure they are pressed against the burner bases. Burner Bases The burner bases should not be removed for cleaning. To clean the burner bases, use soapy water and a plastic scouring pad. Make sure that no water gets into the burner bases and the brass gas orifices. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.

Make sure the hole in the burner head assembly is positioned over the electrode and that the burner head is fully inserted inside the burner base. A small gap between the base and head is normal. Burner cap Burner head Burner base Electrode Burner Grates Your cooktop has professional style grates. These grates are designed for specific positions. These grates should only be used in their proper positions; they should not be interchanged. For your convenience, the undersides of the left and right grates are marked “OUTSIDE” and “INSIDE”. Make sure that the sides marked “OUTSIDE” are facing the outer edge of the cooktop and the sides marked “INSIDE” are facing each other. All grates should touch once they are fully assembled on the cooktop surface. For cooktops with three grates, make sure that the tabs on either side of the center grate fit into the slots located on the “INSIDE” edge of the side grates. Lift the burner grates out only when cool. Grates should be washed regularly and, of course, after spillovers. Wash them in the dishwasher or in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. When replacing the grates, be sure they are positioned securely over the burners. 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. 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. NOTE: Do not clean the grates in a self-cleaning oven. (On some models) “OUTSIDE” edge “OUTSIDE” edge “INSIDE” edges
