Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Care and Cleaning Installation Instructions Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support ge.com Porcelain Oven Interior With proper care, the porcelain enamel finish on the inside of the oven will stay new-looking for years. Let the range cool before cleaning. We recommend that you wear rubber gloves when cleaning the range. Soap and water will normally do the job. Heavy spattering or spillovers may require cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner. Soapy, wet metal pads may also be used. 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. Household ammonia may make the cleaning job easier. Place 1/2 cup in a shallow glass or pottery container in a cold oven overnight. The ammonia fumes will help loosen the burned-on grease and food. If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner. Follow package directions. Cautions about using spray-on oven cleaners: I Do not spray on the electrical controls and switches because it could cause a short circuit and result in sparking or fire. I Do not allow a film from the cleaner to build up on the temperature sensor- it could cause the oven to heat improperly. (The sensor is located at the top of the oven.) Carefully wipe the sensor clean after each oven cleaning, being careful not to move the sensor as a change in its position could affect how the oven bakes. I Do not spray any oven cleaner on the outside of the oven door, handles or any exterior surface of the oven, wood or painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage these surfaces. Painted Surfaces Painted surfaces include the sides, control panel and door. Clean these with soap and water or a vinegar and water solution. Do not use commercial oven cleaners, cleansing powders, steel wool or harsh abrasives on any painted surface. 21
