NOTE: The grill grate must be preconditioned before using it for the first time. To precondition, first wash it in soap and water. Dry with a soft cloth. Then use a paper towel to apply a small amount of no-stick cooking spray to the grate. Remove excess with a clean paper towel.

Use the grill for preparing meals with the appearance and flavor of commercially char- broiled meats. The grill must be very hot for this type of cooking and smoke and spatter is to be expected.

Be sure to use your venting system when grilling to help minimize smoke.

You should have either a component downdraft vent installed into the cooktop system or a high- capacity vent hood.

Most cooking on the grill is done at the HI setting. Each half of the grill component is controlled separately.

How to assemble the grill module

1.Be sure both the controls for the grill are off (O).

2.Place the drip pan in the grease well first as shown in the illustration in this section.

3.Grasp the grill element with both hands near the plug. Keeping the element as nearly horizontal as possible, push the plug firmly into the electrical receptacles, to insure complete contact. The element should lie flat and rest on the ridges of the drip pan.

4.Place the grill grate into the opening in the cooktop over the grill element.

5.Be certain the grease jar is clean and firmly secured in the tube and lid assembly under the porcelain enamel grease well.

Component Cooktop System specifications

The GE Monogram Component Cooktop System is a high-end kitchen appliance designed for culinary enthusiasts who appreciate both form and function. A cornerstone of the Monogram line, this cooktop system represents a blend of advanced technology, flexibility, and elegant design.

One of the most striking features of the GE Monogram Component Cooktop is its modular design. Home chefs can customize their cooking experience based on personal preferences and cooking styles. The cooktop allows for the integration of various cooking elements such as gas burners, induction cooktops, grill plates, and griddles, making it versatile for various cuisines. This modularity enables the seamless combination of different cooking surfaces tailored to the user’s needs.

The gas burners feature high BTU outputs that provide powerful heat when needed, ensuring quick boiling and effective searing.

For those who prefer electric cooking, the induction components are equally impressive. Using electromagnetic energy, induction cooking delivers rapid heat with precise temperature control, allowing for delicate tasks like simmering sauces or high-heat cooking for stir-fries. The smooth ceramic surface is easy to clean, and the cooktop remains cool to the touch, reducing the risk of burns.

Another noteworthy characteristic of the GE Monogram Component Cooktop System is its sleek design. The stainless steel finish exudes a modern aesthetic, while the backlit controls and seamless integration into countertops provide an upscale look that enhances any kitchen decor. Furthermore, user-friendly touch controls allow for easy adjustments, making the cooking process more efficient.

Additional features include temperature probes, which offer precise cooking results, and various safety features such as automatic shut-off and system lock, ensuring peace of mind during cooking. Furthermore, the cooktop is designed for easy maintenance, with removable components and surfaces that resist staining.

In summary, the GE Monogram Component Cooktop System is a sophisticated and versatile cooking solution that caters to the needs of discerning chefs.
