Vent System - GE PGP9830DRBB Owner's Manual & Installation Instructions

Surface Burners (Cont.)
Wok This Way
We recommend that you use a flat-bottomed wok,
available at your local retail store.
Only a flat-bottomed wok should be used. Do not use a
flat-bottomed wok with a wok holder.
Do not use a flat-bottomed wok on a support ring.
burner to work improperly, resulting in carbon monoxide
levels above allowable current standards. This could be
dangerous to your health.
Cookware
Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is recommended
because it heats quickly and evenly. Most foods brown
evenly in an aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with tight-
fitting lids when cooking with minimum amounts of water.
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 skillets usually work satisfactorily if
they are used with medium heat as the manufacturer
recommends.
Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give
satisfactory results.
Stove Top Grills
Do not use stove top grills on your sealed gas burners. If
you use the stove top grill on the sealed gas burner it will
cause incomplete combustion and can result in exposure
to carbon monoxide levels above allowable current
standards. This can be hazardous to your health.
Using The Downdraft Vent System
How to Operate the Downdraft Vent System
The built-in vent system helps remove cooking vapors,
odors and smoke from foods prepared on the cooktop.
Turn the vent fan speed control knob to HI, MED or LO,
as needed.
Continuous use of the vent system while cooking helps
keep the kitchen comfortable and less humid, reducing
cooking odors and soiling moisture that normally creates
a frequent need for cleaning.
The appearance of the burner flames may be affected
when the vent fan is operating. At the high fan speed
setting, it is normal for the nearby burner flames to be
drawn toward the vent grille. If cooking performance is
affected, use a lower fan speed setting.

Use a flat-bottomed wok.
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 top-of-range cooking
very slowly.
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.
IN CASE OF A POWER FAILURE, THE VENTILATION
SYSTEM WILL NOT OPERATE.
