Lift-Off Oven Door; Porcelain Oven Interior - GE JKS05 Use And Care Manual

Lift-Off Oven Door

The oven door is
removable, but it is heavy.
You may need help
removing and replacing
the door. Do not lift the
door by the handle. This
can cause the glass to
break or can cause
damage to the door.
To remove the door,
open it a few inches to the special stop position that
will hold the door open. Grasp firmly on each side
and lift the door straight up and off the hinges.
NOTE:
• Be careful not to place hands between the hinge
and the oven door frame as the hinge could snap
back and pinch fingers.
• While working in the oven area, cover the hinges
with towels or empty paper towel rolls to prevent
pinched fingers and chipping the porcelain enamel
on the frame.
To replace the door, make sure the hinges are in the
special stop position. Position the slots in the bottom
of the door squarely over the hinges at the same time.
If the hinges snap back against the oven frame, pull
them back out.

Porcelain Oven Interior

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. Soapy, wet metal pads may also
be used. Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or
acid content (such as milk, 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.
TO CLEAN THE DOOR:
Inside of door:
• 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 milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit
juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface. They
may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
• If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner.
Follow the package directions. Do not use oven
cleaners, cleansing powders or harsh abrasives
on the outside of the door.
Outside of 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.
• Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces
and basting materials containing acids may cause
discoloration and should be wiped up immediately.
When the surface is cool, clean and rinse.
If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner.
Follow package directions.
Cautions about using spray-on oven cleaners:
• Do not spray 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 outside of the
door, handles or any exterior surface of the oven,
cabinet or painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage
these surfaces.
