OPERATING THE SELF-CLEANING OVEN

(Normal Cleaning Time: 4 hours)

Before a Clean Cycle

1.Remove the broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware and any aluminum foil from the oven—they can’t withstand the high cleaning temperatures.

NOTE: The oven shelves may be cleaned in the self-cleaning oven. However, they will darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide. Wipe the shelf supports with cooking oil after self-cleaning to make shelves slide more easily.

2.Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom. If you use soap, rinse thoroughly before self-cleaning to prevent staining.

3. Clean spatters or soil on the oven front frame and

the oven door outside the gasket with a dampened

cloth. The oven front frame and the oven door

outside the gasket do not get cleaned by the self-

clean cycle. On these areas, use detergent and hot

water or a soap-filled steel wool pad. Rinse well

with a vinegar and water solution. This will help

prevent a brown residue from forming when the

oven is heated. Buff these areas with a dry cloth.

Do not clean the gasket.

Clean the outside front of the oven door with

soap and water. Also use soap and water to clean

under the oven vent grille. Do not use abrasives

or oven cleaners.

Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place.

Do not rub or clean the door gasket—

the fiberglass material of the gasket has an

extremely low resistance to abrasion. An intact

and well-fitting oven door gasket is essential for

energy-efficient oven operation and good baking

results. If you notice the gasket becoming worn,

frayed or damaged in any way or if it has become

displaced on the door, you should have it replaced.

Do not let water run down through openings in

the top of the door. To help prevent water from

getting in these slots when cleaning, open the door

as far as it will go.

4. Close the oven door and make sure the oven light

is off. If the oven light is not turned off, the life of

the bulb will be shortened or it may burn out

immediately. The door latches automatically after

the clean cycle is set.

Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven protectors in or near the self-cleaning oven.

A combination of any of these products plus the high clean-cycle temperature may damage the porcelain finish of the oven.

Important:

The oven door must be closed and all controls must be set correctly for the cycle to work properly.

You can set a clean cycle in both ovens at the same time. The last oven set will automatically delay its start until the end of the first oven’s clean cycle.

You can use Timed Baking in one oven and Self- Clean the other at the same time.

ZEK755 specifications

The GE Monogram ZEK755 is an advanced electric cooktop designed to offer professional-grade performance in a sleek and elegant package. This high-end appliance combines cutting-edge technology with user-friendly features, making it an excellent choice for culinary enthusiasts and home chefs alike.

One of the standout features of the ZEK755 is its induction cooking technology. Induction cooktops heat pots and pans directly through electromagnetic energy rather than heating the surface of the cooktop. This results in faster cooking times, improved energy efficiency, and precise temperature control. With induction, users can quickly bring water to a boil or simmer sauces with unmatched accuracy, making it ideal for a variety of cooking techniques.

The ZEK755 boasts five cooking elements, each offering different power levels to accommodate all types of cooking needs. The largest induction burner is capable of delivering an impressive amount of wattage, providing quick heat for large pots and pans. The independent controls for each burner allow for multitasking in the kitchen, making it easy to prepare multiple dishes simultaneously.

Another key feature of the GE Monogram ZEK755 is its sleek, easy-to-clean surface. The ceramic glass cooktop is not only visually appealing but also resistant to scratches and spills. Any food or liquid that spills over evaporates quickly due to the induction heating, meaning that there is less mess to clean up after cooking.

Safety is also a top priority with the ZEK755. The cooktop includes built-in safety features such as automatic shut-off and control lock settings. This ensures that the cooktop will turn off after a period of inactivity, preventing accidents and ensuring peace of mind when cooking.

The cooktop’s modern design integrates seamlessly into a variety of kitchen aesthetics. Its frameless design and minimalist appearance give it a contemporary look, while its durable construction means it’s built to last.

In summary, the GE Monogram ZEK755 is a sophisticated electric cooktop that brings professional performance and modern technology into the home kitchen. With its induction cooking technology, versatile burner options, safety features, and easy-to-clean surface, it is a worthy investment for anyone serious about cooking. Whether you’re preparing a simple meal or an elaborate feast, the ZEK755 is designed to enhance your culinary experience.
