GE Coli Top Range User Manual


 
5
To avoid the possibility of a burn or electric shock, always be certain that the controls for all surface units are
at the OFF position and all coils are cool before attempting to lift or remove a unit.
Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge is
used to wipe spills on a hot cooktop, be careful to
avoid steam burns.
Do not immerse or soak the removable surface units.
Do not put them in a dishwasher.
Be sure the drip pans and the vent duct are not
covered and are in place. Their absence during
cooking could damage range parts and wiring.
Do not use aluminum foil to line the drip pans or
anywhere in the oven except as described in this
manual. Misuse could result in a shock, fire hazard
or damage to the range.
COIL SURFACE UNITS
(on some models)
Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the controls have
been turned off.
Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The cooktop can
be scratched with items such as sharp instruments,
rings or other jewelry and rivets on clothing.
Do not operate the radiant surface units if the glass
is broken. Spillovers or cleaning solution may
penetrate a broken cooktop and create a risk of
electrical shock. Contact a qualified technician
immediately should your glass cooktop become
broken.
Never use the glass cooktop surface as a
cutting board.
Do not place or store items that can melt or
catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when it
is not being used.
Be careful when placing spoons or other stirring
utensils on glass cooktop surface when it is in use.
They may become hot and could cause burns.
Do not stand on the glass cooktop. The weight may
cause the top to break.
Avoid heating an empty pan. Doing so may damage
the cooktop and the pan.
Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge or
cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface unit,
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 unit
areas until they have cooled and the indicator light has gone off.
Sugar spills are the exception to this. Please see Cleaning the
glass cooktop section.
When the cooktop is cool, use only the
recommended cleaning cream 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.
Large scratches or impacts to cooktops can lead to
broken or shattered glass.
Do not lift the cooktop on models with radiant
surface units. Lifting the cooktop can lead to damage
and improper operation of the range.
Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may
melt onto the surface and be very difficult to remove.
