Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Unlock Lock ge.com Removable Oven Bottom The oven bottom can be removed to clean large spills, and to enable you to reach the oven burner. To remove: Slide the tab at the center front of the oven bottom to the left. Lift the oven bottom up and out. To replace: Slip the oven bottom into the oven so the tabs in the rear of the oven bottom fit into the slots in the oven back. Lower the front of the oven bottom into place and slide the front tab to the right to lock the oven bottom into place. The oven bottom has a porcelain enamel finish. To make cleaning easier, protect the oven bottom from excessive spillovers by placing a cookie sheet on the shelf below the shelf you are cooking on. This is particularly important when baking a fruit pie or other foods with a high acid content. Hot fruit fillings or other foods that are highly acidic (such as tomatoes, sauerkraut, and sauces with vinegar or lemon juice) may cause pitting and damage to the porcelain enamel surface and should be wiped up immediately. We don't recommend using aluminum foil on the oven bottom. It can affect air flow if the holes are blocked and it can concentrate heat at the bottom of the oven, resulting in poor baking performance. To clean up spillovers, use soap and water, an abrasive cleaner or soap-filled scrubbing pad. Rinse well. Oven Air Vents Never block the vents (air openings) of the oven. They provide the air inlet and outlet that are necessary for the oven to operate properly with correct combustion. Air openings are located under the control panel, above the door. Loosen Air Adjustment Shutter 1/2″ Inner cone of flame Burner Nat LP Broil and Oven Burner Air Adjustment Shutters Air adjustment shutters for the burner regulate the flow of air to the flames. To adjust the air shutter, remove the oven bottom. Turn the burner full on and check the flames. The burner flames should not flutter or blow away from the burner. They should be blue in color with no trace of yellow. Foreign particles in the gas line may cause an orange flame at first, but this will soon disappear. If the flames are yellow or flutter, open the air shutter more. If they blow away from the burner, close the air shutter more. If necessary, use a screwdriver to loosen the air shutter screw. Then adjust the air shutter and, when the flames are right, retighten the air shutter screw. To adjust the orifice hoods, check the inner cone of the flame. WARNING: If you attempt to measure the inner cone of the flame, please use caution. Burns could result. The inner cone of the flames should be about 1/2″ long. If the flames are not right, use a 1/2″ open-end wrench or adjustable joint pliers to adjust the orifice hood. To shorten the cones, tighten the orifice hood by turning in the LP direction. To lengthen the cones, loosen the orifice hood by turning in the Nat direction. NOTE: When checking the flames, before and after adjustments, the oven door should be closed.
