Surface Units - GE Profile PP989SNSS Owner's Manual & Installation Instructions

Using the surface units.
Be sure you turn the control knob to OFF
when you finish cooking.
SURFACE
COOKING
Never cook directly on the glass.
Always use cookware.
OFF CENTER
Always place the pan in the center
of the surface unit you are cooking on.
DRAGGING
Do not slide cookware across the
cooktop because it can scratch the glass.
The glass is scratch-resistant, not
scratchproof.
Radiant Surface Units
The control for the radiant surface unit
can be set anywhere between LO and HI
for an unlimited number of heat settings.
With the infinite switch the coil cycles
on and off to maintain your selected
control setting.
To bring liquids to a boil faster, use a lid to
cover the pan.
The control knob must be pushed down
and turned from the OFF position. When
the control knobs are in any position other
than off, they may be turned without
pushing down.
Be sure you turn the control knob off
when you finish cooking. You will feel
a click at the OFF position.
The surface unit ON indicator light will glow
when any surface unit is on.
About the radiant surface units...
The radiant cooktop features heating units
beneath a smooth glass surface.
NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new
cooktop is used for the first time. It is
caused by the heating of new parts and
insulating materials and will disappear in
a short time.
NOTE: On models with light colored glass
cooktops, it is normal for the cooking zones
to change color when hot or cooling down.
This is temporary and will disappear as the
glass cools to room temperature.
The surface unit will cycle on and off to
maintain your selected control setting.
It is safe to place hot cookware from the
oven or surface on the glass surface when
the surface is cool.
Even after the surface units are turned
off, the glass cooktop retains enough
heat to continue cooking. To avoid over-
cooking, remove pans from the surface
units when the food is cooked. Avoid
placing anything on the surface unit until
it has cooled completely.
NOTE: The surface unit ON indicator light
may glow between the surface control
settings of LO and OFF, but there is no
power to the surface units.
Cooktop temperatures increase with
the number of surface units that are on.
With 3 or 4 units turned on, surface
temperatures are high so be careful
when touching the cooktop.
The HOT SURFACE indicator lights will
glow when any radiant element is turned
on, and will remain on until the surface is
cooled to approximately 150°F.
NOTE:
Hot Surface Indicator Lights come on
instantly and stay on even after the
surface unit is turned off.
They glow brightly until the unit is cooled
to approximately 150°F.
Be sure to turn the control knob off
when you finish cooking.
Water stains (mineral deposits) are
removable using the cleaning cream
or full strength white vinegar.
Use of window cleaner may leave
an iridescent film on the cooktop.
The cleaning cream will remove this
discoloration.
Don't store heavy items above the
cooktop. If they drop onto the cooktop,
they can cause damage.
Do not use the surface as a cutting board.
