Always place the pan in the center of the surface unit you are cooking on.

About the radiant surface units…

The radiant cooktop features heating units beneath a smooth glass surface.

NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new cooktop is used for the first time. It is caused by the heating of new parts and insulating materials and will disappear in a short time.

The surface unit will cycle on and off to maintain your selected control setting.

It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven or surface on the glass surface when the surface is cool.

Even after the surface units are turned off, the glass cooktop retains enough heat to continue cooking. To avoid over-cooking, remove pans from the surface units when the food is cooked. Avoid placing anything on the surface unit until it has cooled completely.

■Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable using the cleaning cream or full-strength white vinegar.

■Use of window cleaner may leave an iridescent film on the cooktop. The cleaning cream will remove this discoloration.

■Don’t store heavy items above the cooktop. If they drop onto the cooktop, they can cause damage.

■Do not use the surface as a cutting board.

Care

Installation Instructions

DRAGGING

Do not slide cookware across the cooktop because it can scratch the glass—the glass is scratch resistant, not scratch proof.

Troubleshooting Tips

Temperature Limiter

Every radiant surface unit has a temperature limiter.

The temperature limiter protects the glass cooktop from getting too hot.

The temperature limiter may cycle the units off for a time if:

■The pan boils dry.

■The pan bottom is not flat.

■The pan is off center.

■There is no pan on the unit.

JBS56 specifications

The GE JBS56 is a standout model in General Electric's line of kitchen appliances, particularly known for its dual-fuel range that harmonizes the precision of gas cooking with the even heating of electric ovens. This model reflects GE's commitment to blending performance with modern design and advanced technology, making it a popular choice for both amateur cooks and professional chefs alike.

One of the main features of the GE JBS56 is its combination of a gas cooktop and an electric oven. This dual-fuel system allows users to enjoy the best of both worlds: the gas burners offer instant heat and precise control, while the electric oven ensures consistent and even baking results through its radiant heat. The cooktop typically comes equipped with multiple burners of varying sizes, providing flexibility to accommodate different cooking techniques, whether it’s simmering a sauce or boiling water for pasta.

The range is designed with user-friendliness in mind. It often includes features like the "Self-Clean" option, which utilizes high temperatures to burn off food residues, leaving behind a clean oven without the hassle of manual scrubbing. Additionally, the oven usually comes with advanced baking technologies such as True European Convection, which circulates heat throughout the oven for flawlessly baked goods, ensuring that both the top and bottom cook uniformly.

Safety is another important aspect of the GE JBS56. Many models come with features like automatic shut-off and a clean and sleek design that prevents the accumulation of food debris, contributing to a safer cooking environment.

Moreover, the aesthetics of the GE JBS56 are appealing, with a sleek finish and modern knobs and controls, designed to integrate seamlessly into contemporary kitchens. It often includes a large oven window and bright interior lighting, allowing chefs to easily monitor the progress of their meals without opening the oven door and losing heat.

In conclusion, the GE JBS56 dual-fuel range stands out for its combination of gas and electric cooking capabilities, advanced features for convenience and safety, and a stylish design that enhances any kitchen space. It is a reliable appliance for those who appreciate the art of cooking, combining innovation with everyday practicality.
