Shelves - GE JTP85 Use And Care Manual

Before Using Your Oven
1. Look at the controls. Be sure you understand how
to set them properly.
2. Check the oven interior. Look at the shelves.
Take a practice run at removing and replacing
them properly to give sure, sturdy support.
3. Read over the information and tips that follow.
4. Keep this guide handy so you can refer to it,
especially during the first weeks of using your
new oven.
Oven Shelves
The shelves are designed with stop-locks so that,
when placed correctly on the shelf supports, they
will stop before coming completely out of the oven,
and will not tilt when removing food from or placing
food on them.
When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf out
to the bump on the shelf support. Place the cookware
on the shelf, then slide the shelf back into the oven.
This will eliminate reaching into the hot oven.
To remove a shelf from the oven, pull the shelf
toward you, tilt the front end upward and pull the
shelf out.
Shelf Positions
The oven has seven shelf supports identified in this
illustration as A (bottom), B, C, D, E, F and G (top).
Shelf positions for cooking are suggested in the
Baking, Roasting and Broiling sections.
Oven Vent Duct
The oven is vented through a duct that's located on the left side of the
oven just above the door. Moisture and vapors from the oven are vented
through it when the oven is in use. Never cover the hole in the duct. To do
so prevents it from functioning properly during cooking and cleaning.

USING YOUR LOWER OVEN
NOTE:
• You may notice a "burning" or "oily" smell the first
few times you turn your oven on. This is normal in a
new oven and will disappear in a short time. To
speed the process, set a self-clean cycle for 4 hours.
See the Operating the Self-Cleaning Oven section.
• A cooling fan may automatically turn on and off to
cool internal parts. This is normal, and the fan may
continue to run even after the oven is turned off.
To replace, place the shelf
on the shelf support with
the stop-locks (curved
extension of the shelf)
facing up and toward the
rear of the oven. Tilt up
the front and push the
shelf toward the back of
the oven until it goes past
the bump on the shelf
support. Then lower the
front of the shelf and push
it all the way back.
