Using The Surface Units - GE JP930 Owner's Manual

Using the surface units.

Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.
Be sure you turn the control knob to
OFF when you finish cooking.
SURFACE
COOKING
Never cook directly on the glass.
Always use cookware.
OFF CENTER
Always place the pan in the center of
the surface unit you are cooking on.
DRAGGING
Do not slide cookware across the
cooktop because it can scratch the
glass. The glass is scratch resistant,
not scratch proof.

Radiant Surface Units
The control for the radiant surface unit
can be set anywhere between LO and HI
for an unlimited number of heat settings.
With the infinite switch the coil cycles on
and off to maintain your selected control
setting.
The control knob must be pushed in and
turned from the OFF position. When the
control knobs are in any position other
than off, they may be turned without
pushing down.
Be sure you turn the control knob off
when you finish cooking. You will feel a
click at the OFF position.
About the radiant surface units...
The radiant cooktop features heating
units beneath a smooth glass surface.
NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new
cooktop is used for the first time. It is caused by
the heating of new parts and insulating materials
and will disappear in a short time.
NOTE: On models with a white glass cooktop,
it is normal for the surface to appear dicolored
when it is hot. This is temporary and will
disappear as the glass cools.
The surface unit will cycle on and off to
maintain your selected control setting.
It is safe to place hot cookware from the
oven or surface on the glass surface when
the surface is cool.
Even after the surface units are turned
off, the glass cooktop retains enough heat
to continue cooking. To avoid over-
cooking, remove pans from the surface
units when the food is cooked. Avoid
placing anything on the surface unit until
it has cooled completely.
Cooktop temperatures increase with the
number of surface units that are on. With
3 or 4 units turned on, surface temperatures
are high so be careful when touching the
cooktop.
The HOT SURFACE indicator lights will
glow when any radiant element is turned
on, and will remain on until the surface is
cooled to approximately 150°F.
NOTE:
They come on when the unit is hot to the touch.
They stay on even after the unit is turned off.
They glow brightly until the unit is cooled to
approximately 150°F.
Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable
using the cleaning cream or full strength white
vinegar.
Use of window cleaner may leave an
iridescent film on the cooktop. The cleaning
cream will remove this discoloration.
Don't store heavy items above the cooktop.
If they drop onto the cooktop, they can cause
damage.
Do not use the surface as a cutting board.
