GE Monogram ZEW145, ZEW154, ZEW155, ZEW165, ZEW175 Halogen/Radiant Surface Units and Gas Burners

● Do not s~re fl~mable matefials in an oven or

near the cooktop system components.

●Do not stem or me comb~tible materi~s,

gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other gas or electric appliance.

. Do not let COOking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the cooktop system components.

. Never Ieave the kitchen while using the grill or griddk

QDo not replace the grease collector jar with a mayonnaise jar which could break when hot grease drips into it. Replace with any wide mouth canning jar.

—sI c Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn

ethe controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the pan completely with a well-fitting hd, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fne extinguisher.

Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by covering it with baking soda or, if available, by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

●Keep the grill drip pan and grease well clean to reduce smoking and avoid grease fires.

●To control flame-ups, turn down the heat setting to low, rather than off(0). This keeps the downdraft vent blower on. Or, turn the

Variable Speed Vent blower to HI, then turn the glill off (o).

Use along-handled utensil to carefully remove the food from the grill.

These steps should control the flame until it eventually goes out. If it does not, cover the entire grill module with a cookie sheet or the lid from a large roasting pan. Use a potholder to remove this later because it will be hot.

QDo not touch the surface units. These surfaces may be hot enough to bum even though they are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact the surface units, cooktop surfaces or areas nearby the surface units. Allow sufficient time for cooling of the cooking surfaces.

Potentially hot surfaces include the grill grates, griddle and all components with electric cooking elements or gas burners and grates.

. When cooking pork, follow the directions exactly and always cook the meat to an internal temperature of at least 170”F.This assures that, in the remote possibility that trichina maybe present in the meat, it will be killed and the meat will be safe to eat.

Halogen/Radiant Surface Units and Gas Burners

●Use proper pan siz*This cooktop system has components equipped with electric surface units or gas burners. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the selected surface unit or burner. The use of undersized cookware will expose portions of the surface units or

gas burners to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to the surface unit or the burner will also improve efficiency.

●Only certain types of giass?glass/cerami~ earthenware or other glazed containers are suitable for cooktop service; others may break because of the sudden change in temperature.

s Never leave the surface units or gas burners unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch fire.

●To minimize the possibility of bums, ignition of flammable materials and spillage, the handles of cookware should be turned without extending over nearby surface units or burners.

. Always ~rn the electric surface unit Or g=

burner controls off (0) before removing the cookware.

g Watch foods being ffied at high or medium- high heat settings.

c When flaming foods are under the exhaust hood, turn the hood fan off. The hood fan, if operating, may spread the flame.

c Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan.
