Remove packaging tape

To assure no damage is done to the finish of the product, the safest way to remove adhesive left from packaging tape on new appliances is an application of a household 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.

NOTE: The plastic tape must be removed from all chrome trim. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.

Halogen/Radiant Cooktop specifications

The GE Monogram Halogen/Radiant Cooktop represents the pinnacle of modern cooking technology, designed for culinary enthusiasts who demand both functionality and elegance in their kitchen. This cooktop merges halogen and radiant cooking systems, offering a versatile and efficient cooking experience.

One of the standout features of the GE Monogram cooktop is its rapid heat-up capability.

This is a significant advantage for busy households where time is of the essence.

Safety is also a major consideration with the GE Monogram cooktop. It features a hot surface indicator light that remains illuminated to warn users when the surface is still hot after cooking.
