Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Care and Cleaning Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support GEAppliances.com Non-Self-Clean Oven Interior (on some models) With proper care, the porcelain enamel finish on the inside of the oven-top, bottom, sides, back and inside of the door-will stay new-looking for years. Let the oven cool before cleaning. We recommend that you wear rubber gloves when cleaning the oven. 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. 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 the package directions. ■ Do not spray oven cleaner on the electrical controls and switches because it could cause a short circuit and result in sparking or fire. ■ 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. ■ Do not spray any oven cleaner on the oven door, handles or any exterior surface of the oven, cabinets or painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage these surfaces. Painted Surfaces Clean 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. Glass Surfaces To clean the outside glass finish, use a glass cleaner. Rinse and polish with a dry cloth. Do not allow the water or cleaner to run down inside the oven door while cleaning. Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models) Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface. To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.
