CARE AND CLEANING
(continued)

Solid Disk Element Module
Solid disk elements are easy
1s raised above the module
and sealed to it. Food spills ‘“c’’anbeca”sethee’ement - can not tlow under the
cookware or the element. Spills stay on the module surface where they cool and are easy to wipe up.
Be sure the controls are off and the module and elements are cool before handling or cleaning. The elements cool slowly and do not glow red as open coil elements do when they are hot.
The trim rings around the elements are stainless steel and may be cleaned with a stainless steel cleaner.
Cleaning materials: Scouring powder, Heavy Duty Scotch Brite Scour Pad or soap pad, Cello Electrol.
The red dot in the center can be removed with a soap- filled steel wool pad. The dot is used by the element manufacturer to identify the element as having a special safety feature. The red dot will wear off, but this will not affect the performance or durability of the element. Do not allow the cleaning powders to clog the sensor (if the model has one). It must be free moving. Follow the circular grooves of the element when cleaning.

After cleaning, wipe element with a damp cloth and turn element on a medium setting to dry.
Finish with vegetable oil or Cello Electrol. Heat element on medium for 30 seconds, then turn it off. Apply a small amount of vegetable oil to a dry cloth or paper towel and rub a light coating into the element to prevent the element from rusting. Rub oil onto the element evenly and wipe off any excess. Heat element for 1 minute on medium to cure.
The matte black surface can be maintained by treating it periodically with the Cello Electrol polish. The solid element dressing is available through GE service centers. To use the polish, use the applicator to apply a very thin coating to the entire element surface. Turn the element on high for several minutes to bake the polish to the element. When the element is cool, rub lightly with a cloth or paper towel to remove any excess polish. The dressing restores the color of the element and helps prevent the element from staining. The element must be clean before the dressing is applied.
NOTE: This product is not a cleanser; it is a cosmetic polish.

Removal of Packaging Tape
The safest way to remove adhesive left from packing tape on new appliances to assure no damage is done to the finish of the product is an application of a homeho]d liquid dishwashing detergent, mineral oil or cooking oil. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak. Wipe dry and then apply an appliance polish to thoroughly clean and protect the surface. This procedure is also safe for the face of microwave doors and other plastic and Lexan parts.
NOTE: The plastic tape that is not removed from the chrome trim on oven parts cannot be removed if baked on.
