Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Care and Cleaning Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support GEAppliances.com Do not rub or clean the door gasket- it has an extremely low resistance to abrasion. 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. Door (on self-clean ovens) To clean the 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. ■ The area outside the gasket and the door liner can be cleaned with a soap-filled scouring or plastic pad, hot water and detergent. Rinse well with a vinegar and water solution. To clean the outside of the door: ■ Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides and front of the oven door. Rinse well. You may also use a glass cleaner to clean the glass on the outside of the door. Do not let water drip into the vent openings. ■ If any stain on the door vent trim is persistent, use a soft abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results. ■ 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, cleaning powders or harsh abrasives on the outside of the door. Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface. They may cause a dull spot even after cleaning. Door (on models with a knob for the lower oven) To clean the inside of the door: ■ Soap and water will normally do the job. Heavy spattering or spillovers may require cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner. Soap-filled scouring pads may also be used. If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner. Follow the package directions. ■ Clean the inside of the oven window with a mild non-scratching cleaner and a damp cloth. To clean the outside of the door: ■ Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides and front of the oven door. Rinse well. You may also use a glass cleaner to clean the glass on the outside of the door. Do not let water drip into the vent openings. ■ 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, cleaning powders or harsh abrasives on the outside of the door. Oven Racks Clean the oven racks with an abrasive cleanser or soap-filled scouring pad. After cleaning, rinse the racks with clean water and dry with a clean cloth. NOTE: The oven racks may be cleaned in the selfcleaning oven. However, the racks will darken in color, lose their luster and become hard to slide if cleaned during the self-cleaning cycle. You can wipe the rack supports with cooking oil after selfcleaning to make the racks slide more easily. After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the oven. Do not store a soiled broiler pan and grid anywhere in the oven. Broiler Pan & Grid Do not clean the broiler pan or grid in a self-cleaning oven. After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the oven. Remove the grid from the pan. Carefully pour out the grease from the pan into a proper container. Wash and rinse the broiler pan and grid in hot water with a soap-filled or plastic scouring pad. If food has burned on, sprinkle the grid with detergent while hot and cover with wet paper towels or a dishcloth. Soaking the pan will remove burned-on foods. Both the broiler pan and grid may be cleaned with a commercial oven cleaner. Both the broiler pan and grid can also be cleaned in a dishwasher. 23
