PP975, PP945 specifications

The GE PP945 and PP975 are two advanced gas ranges that showcase General Electric's commitment to innovation, performance, and user convenience. These models have become popular choices among home chefs looking for reliable appliances that optimize cooking experiences.

Induction technology is notable for its ability to heat cookware directly, leading to faster cooking and additional energy efficiency. With its sleek design, this model not only enhances kitchen aesthetics but also enables easy cleaning thanks to its flat surface.

The PP975 also features a self-cleaning option, utilizing high-temperature cleaning to reduce food residue to ash, making maintenance simple and hassle-free.

Both models are equipped with a variety of cooking modes, including bake, broil, and various convection options, catering to diverse culinary techniques. The advanced oven design includes steam-cleaning options, which offer homeowners an environmentally friendly and efficient way to tackle spills and splatters without harsh chemicals.

Additional features include oven racks that are easily adjustable, precise temperature probes for meat, and large capacity ovens that can accommodate multiple dishes simultaneously. Safety features such as automatic shut-off and a child lock ensure that cooking remains safe for families.

In summary, the GE PP945 and PP975 are designed for those seeking a blend of modern technology and traditional cooking styles. With standout features such as induction cooking, smart technology, and efficient cleaning options, both ranges are well-equipped to enhance the cooking experience and meet the demands of today’s culinary enthusiasts.
