SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Customer Service Troubleshooting Tips Installation Instructions Operating Instructions

■Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot surface units or heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

■For your safety, never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.

■Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

■Keep the hood and grease filters clean to maintain good venting and to avoid grease fires.

■Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the range.

■Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the pan completely with a well- fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi- purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire 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.

Flame in the oven can be smothered completely by closing the oven door and turning the oven off or by using a multi- purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

Whether baking a delicate soufflé or roasting a large turkey, users can expect optimal cooking results every time. Additionally, the oven features self-cleaning capabilities, which utilize high heat to burn away food residues, offering a hassle-free cleaning experience.

For those who appreciate smart technology, the GE JB940 is compatible with smart home systems. Users can monitor and control the range remotely using a smartphone app. This feature adds convenience, allowing users to preheat the oven or adjust cooking settings while multitasking or out of the house.

The design of the GE JB940 also deserves special mention. Its sleek stainless steel finish and modern aesthetics allow it to fit seamlessly into any kitchen décor. The range features a glass touch control panel, making it easy to navigate through various settings and functions.

Safety features are not overlooked either, with the GE JB940 offering options such as a control lock which prevents unintended use or adjustments, perfect for households with young children.
