Care And Cleaning; Control Knobs And Control Panel Seal; Grease Jar; Porcelain Cooktop - GE PGP990DENBB Owner's Manual & Installation 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 cleaning.
To remove a knob, pull it straight up.

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

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.
To inquire about purchasing stainless steel
appliance cleaner or polish, or to find the
location of a dealer nearest you, please call

Do not operate the cooktop without all parts
in place.
Wash the knobs in soap and water but do not
soak. Avoid getting water down into the knob
stem holes.
Wipe with a sponge, damp cloth or paper
towel. Do not scrub with steel wool pads or
abrasive cleansers.
To replace a knob, match the flat part of the
knob opening with the flat side of the shaft.
If the jar is broken, replace with any heat
tempered jar, such as a canning jar, that has a
wide mouth screw neck.
For other spills, such as fat spatterings,
wash with soap and water or cleansing
well. Polish with a dry cloth.
