Cooktop Surface; Lift-Up Cooktop - GE JGB281 Owner's Manual & Installation Instructions

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.
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.
Grasp the two front burner wells
and lift up.
Oven Air Vents
Never block the vents (air openings) of the
range. They provide the air inlet and outlet
that are necessary for the range to operate
properly with correct combustion.
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.

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).
Air openings are located at the rear of
the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the
oven door, and at the bottom of the range,
under the warming drawer, storage drawer
or kick panel (depending on the model).
