Cooktop Surface; Drip Pans; Lift-Up Cooktop; Stainless Steel Surfaces - GE JGBS14PCDWW Owner's Manual & Installation Instructions

Some models have dual support rods
that will hold the cooktop up while you
clean underneath it.

Cooktop Surface

To avoid damaging the porcelain enamel
surface of the cooktop and to prevent it
from becoming dull, clean up spills right
away. Foods with a lot of acid (tomatoes,
sauerkraut, fruit juices, etc.) or foods with
high sugar content could cause a dull spot
if allowed to set.
When the surface has cooled, wash and
rinse. For other spills such as fat spatterings,
wash with soap and water once the surface
has cooled. Then rinse and polish with a dry
cloth.
Be careful when you clean the cooktop
because the area over the pilot will be hot
(on models with standing pilots).

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.

Lift-Up Cooktop

(on models with standard twin burners)
Clean the area under the cooktop often.
Built-up soil, especially grease, may catch
on fire.
To make cleaning easier, the cooktop may
be lifted up.
NOTE: Do not lift the cooktop on sealed
burner models. Lifting the cooktop can lead to
damage and improper operation of the range.
To raise the cooktop:
Be sure the burners are turned off.
Remove the grates and drip pans
(if so equipped).
Grasp the two front burner wells and
lift up.
NOTE: Do not store flammable materials
in an oven or near the cooktop. Do not
store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
NOTE: Do not lift the cooktop on sealed
burner models. Lifting the cooktop can lead to
damage and improper operation of the range.

Clean under the cooktop with hot, soapy
water and a clean cloth. If you removed your
surface burners while cleaning, make sure
they are properly seated when replacing
them.
After cleaning, lower the cooktop (be
careful not to pinch your fingers). Lower
cooktop gently to avoid blowing out pilot
flames (on standing pilot models).
Replace drip pans (if so equipped) and grates.
