GE Monogram JGP645 operating instructions Save These Instructions, Important Safety Instructions

•Always turn the surface burners to off before removing the cookware.

•Carefully watch foods being fried at high flame setting.

•Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan.

•Use least possible amount of fat for effective shallow or deep fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when food is added.

•If a combination of oils or fats will be used in frying, stir together before heating, or as fats melt slowly.

•Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.

•Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.

•Use proper pan size—avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to properly contain food and avoid boilovers and spillovers, and large enough to cover burner grate. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left on cooktop can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped and remain cool.

•Do not place hot cookware on the glass cooktop. This could cause glass to break.

•Keep all plastics away from burners.

•To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be certain that the controls for all burners are at the off position and all grates are cool before attempting to remove a grate.

•If the cooktop is located near a window, do not use long curtains which could blow over the burners and create a fire hazard.

•If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the cooktop and call a qualified service technician. Never use an open flame to locate a leak.

•Do not cover or block the area around the cooktop knobs. This area must be kept clear for proper ventilation and burner performance.

•When cooking pork, follow the directions exactly and always cook the meat to an internal temperature of at least 170°F. This assures that, in the remote possibility that trichina may be present in the meat, it will be killed and the meat will be safe to eat.

•Do not use a wok on the cooking surface if

the wok has a round metal ring which is placed over the burner grate to support the wok.

This ring acts as a heat trap which may damage the burner grate and burner head. Also, it may cause the burner to work improperly. This may cause a carbon monoxide level above that allowed by current standards, resulting in a health hazard.
