Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Care and Cleaning Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support Care and cleaning of the range. ge.com Be sure all controls are off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range. If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the anti-tip device is reengaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to take this precaution could result in tipping of the range and cause injury. How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape Carefully grasp a corner of the protective shipping film with your fingers and slowly peel it from the appliance surface. Do not use any sharp items to remove the film. Remove all of the film before using the appliance for the first time. To assure no damage is done to the finish of the product, the safest way to remove the adhesive from packaging tape on new appliances is an application of a household liquid dishwashing detergent. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak. NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all parts. It cannot be removed if it is baked on. Control Knobs The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning. Make sure the knobs are in the OFF positions and pull them straight off the stems for cleaning. The knobs can be cleaned in a dishwasher or they may also be washed with soap and water. Make sure the insides of the knobs are dry before replacing. Replace the knobs in the OFF position to ensure proper placement. Oven Vent The oven vent is above the left side of the door. This area could become hot during oven use. It is normal for steam to come out of the vent. The vent is important for proper air circulation. Never block this vent. Control Panel If desired, the touch pads may be deactivated before cleaning. See the Cooking/Self-Clean lockout information in the Special features of your oven control section in this manual. Clean up splatters with a damp cloth. You may also use a glass cleaner. Remove heavier soil with warm soapy water. Do not use abrasives of any kind. Reactivate the touch pads after cleaning. 29
