GE Component Cooktop System Use And Care Manual page 7

USING YOUR COMPONENT COOKTOP
• After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper towel to
remove all Cooktop Cleaning Cream residue.
• Read and follow all instruction and warnings
on Cooktop Cleaning Cream labels.
• Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge
or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface
unit, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some
cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied
to a hot surface.
When the cooktop is cool, use only Cooktop
Cleaning Cream brand cleaner to clean the
cooktop.
• Do not use a wok on the gas burners if the wok
has a round metal ring which is placed over the
burner grate to support the wok. This ring acts
as a heat trap that may damage the burner
grate and burner head. Also, it may cause the
burner to work improperly. This may cause a
carbon monoxide level above that allowed by
current standards, resulting in a health hazard.
• If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the cooktop
at the gas cutoff valve and call a qualified
service technician. Never use an open flame to
locate a leak.
• Do not operate the gas burners without all
burner parts and grate in place.
• Let the gas burner grate and other surfaces
cool before touching them.
• Do not leave grates removed from any
component where children can reach them.
• Never leave gas burners unattended at high
flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
• For your safety, never use your gas burners for
warming or heating the room. Prolonged use of
the cooktop in this way can be hazardous.
• Do not clean the cooktop system with
flammable or volatile cleaning fluids. See the
Care and Cleaning section.
• Do not clean any part of the cooktop system
when the appliance is in use.
• If you are using an overhead exhaust hood,
keep its grease filters clean to maintain good
venting and to avoid grease fires.
• Clean only parts listed in this Use and
Care Guide.
• Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge
or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooktop,
be careful to avoid steam burns.
