General Information

A full selection of modules is available for the range cooktop. The modules

can be interchanged quickly and easily. Each module has an electrical plug

which fits into a receptacle in the side of the well nearest the center of the

cooktop. Some modules are inserted and removed differently than others.

See each module section for specific instructions for installing and

removing that module.

To purchase, contact your nearest GE Appliances dealer or service center.

If you need assistance in finding your nearest GE dealer, contact the GE

Answer Center@at 800.626.2000.

Careof Modules

Someof themodulesmustbe curedor preconditioned

before using them for the first time.

Modules and accessories should be cleaned after

each use. The longer a soil remains, the harder it is

to clean. See each module section in this guide for

specific instructions. Never immerse any module

in water.

When not in the cooktop, modules and accessories

shouldbe stored in a clean,dry place.Alwaysbe careful

notto dropthemoddes ortheycouldbe damaged.

UsingElectricSurfaceUnit Modules

Youmust consider heat up and cool down times for

the surface units when determining cooking times.

Heat up and cool down times depend on the initial

temperature settings, the type of cookware used and

the amount of food being cooked.

Start cooking at a higher setting to heat the surface

unit faster, then turn to a lower setting to finish

cooking. Remember, cooking continues after the

surface unit is turned off.
