Care And Cleaning; Control Knobs And Control Panel Seal; Grease Jar - GE Profile JGP979BEF Installation & Owner's Instructions

Care and cleaning of the cooktop.
Before Cleaning
Before cleaning any part of your
cooktop, be sure all controls are off
and DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER
TO THE COOKTOP at the fuse box or
circuit breaker panel, or pull the
cooktop power plug, located beneath
the cooktop and inside the cabinets.

Control Knobs and Control Panel Seal

After grilling there may be soot on the
knobs and control panel seal. This soot
can be removed by scrubbing with a
plastic scrubber and mild dishwashing
detergent.
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.

Grease Jar

A grease jar is located below the grill
basin pan under the countertop. Check
periodically to prevent spillovers.
Unscrew and remove.
Porcelain Cooktop
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 to wipe it
up right away. When the surface has
cooled, wash with soap and water or
cleansing powders. Rinse well.
Stainless Steel Surfaces
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.
Do not operate the cooktop without all
parts in place.
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.
If the jar is broken, replace with any
heat tempered jar, such as a canning
jar, which has a standard screw neck.
For other spills, such as fat spatterings,
wash with soap and water or cleansing
powders after the surface has cooled.
Rinse well. Polish with a dry cloth.
