CARE AND CLEANING

(continued)

Lift-Off Oven Door

The oven door is

removable, but it is heavy. You may need help removing and replacing the door. Do not lift the

door by the handle. This can cause the glass to break or can cause

damage to the door.

To remove the door,

open it a few inches to the special stop position that will hold the door open. Grasp firmly on each side and lift the door straight up and off the hinges.

NOTE:

Be careful not to place hands between the hinge and the oven door frame as the hinge could snap back and pinch fingers.

While working in the oven area, cover the hinges with towels or empty paper towel rolls to prevent pinched fingers and chipping the porcelain enamel on the frame.

To replace the door, make sure the hinges are in the special stop position. Position the slots in the bottom of the door squarely over the hinges. Then lower the door slowly and evenly over both hinges at the same time. If hinges snap back against the oven frame, pull them back out.

TO CLEAN THE DOOR:

Inside of the door:

Because the area inside the gasket is cleaned during the self-clean cycle, you do not need to clean this by hand. Any soap left on the liner causes additional stains when the oven is heated.

The area outside the gasket can be cleaned with a soap-filled scouring pad.

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.

NOTE: The gasket is designed with a gap at the bottom to allow for proper air circulation.

Outside gasket

Outside of the door:

Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides and front of the oven door. DO NOT let water run down through openings in the top of the door. Rinse well. You may also use a glass cleaner to clean the glass on the outside of the door.

Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting materials containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. When surface is cool, clean and rinse.

Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing powders or harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.

Oven Shelves

Clean the shelves with a mild abrasive cleanser or steel wool. After cleaning, rinse the shelves with clean water and dry with a clean cloth.

NOTE: The oven shelves may be cleaned in self- cleaning oven. However, they will darken, lose their luster and the shelves will become hard to slide.

Wipe the shelf supports with cooking oil after self- cleaning to make the shelves slide more easily.

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.
