Cooktop - GE Self-Cleaning Electric Range Use And Care & Installation Manual

Lift-Up Cooktop
(on some models)
Some models have a cooktop that can be lifted up
for easier cleaning. To make cleaning easier, the
entire cooktop may be lifted up and supported in the
up position.
Be sure all surface units are turned off before
raising the cooktop. The surface units do not need to
be removed, however, you may remove one to make
raising the cooktop easier. There are two side supports
that lock into position when the cooktop is lifted up.
After cleaning under the cooktop with hot, mild soapy
water and a clean cloth, lower the cooktop. Be careful
not to pinch your fingers.
To lower the cooktop, push the rods back and gently
lower the cooktop until it rests in place.
Control Panel and Knobs
Clean up any spills or spatters with a damp cloth.
Remove heavier soil with warm, soapy water.
Clean control panel with mild liquid dish detergent
and a soft cloth. Rub control panel lightly.
CAUTION: Do not use abrasives of any kind on the
control panel. The lettering on models with touch
pads is sensitive to abrasives and pressure.
The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning.
To remove a knob, pull it straight off the stem. Wash
the knobs in soap and water but do not soak.
Oven Vent
The oven is vented through an opening under the right rear surface unit.
Never cover the opening with aluminum foil or any other material. This
would prevent the oven vent from working properly.
Metal Parts
Do not use steel wool, abrasives,
ammonia or commercial oven
cleaners. To safely clean surfaces;
wash, rinse and then dry with a
soft cloth.
.
Painted Surfaces
Painted surfaces include the
outside oven door, sides, control
panel and drawer front. Clean
these with soap and water or a
vinegar and water solution.
Do not use commercial oven
cleaners, cleansing powders,
steel wool or harsh abrasives
on any painted surface.
Oven Vent
