Care And Cleaning; Control Panel And Knobs; Painted Surfaces - GE JKS05 Use And Care Manual

Proper care and cleaning are important so your oven will give you efficient
and satisfactory service. Follow these directions carefully in caring for your
oven to assure safe and proper maintenance.
BE SURE ELECTRICAL POWER IS OFF AND ALL SURFACES
ARE COOL BEFORE CLEANING ANY PART OF THE OVEN.

Control Panel and Knobs

It's a good idea to wipe the control panel after each
use. Clean with mild soap and water or vinegar and
water, rinse with clean water and polish dry with a
soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid
cleansers, plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners
on the control panel—they will damage the finish.
A 50/50 solution of vinegar and hot water works well.

Painted Surfaces

Painted surfaces include the control panel. 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 surfaces.
Oven Heating Elements
Do not clean the bake element or the broil element.
Any soil will burn off when the elements are heated.
The bake element can be lifted gently to clean the
oven floor. If spillovers, residue or ash accumulate
around the bake element gently wipe around the
element with warm water.

CARE AND CLEANING

The control knobs may be removed for easier
cleaning. Before removing the knobs for cleaning,
please note that they are in the proper OFF position.
When replacing the knobs, check the OFF position to
insure proper placement.
To remove a knob, pull it straight off the stem.
Wash the knobs in soap and water but do not soak.
Avoid getting water in the knob stem holes.
Glass Window
To clean the outside of the window, use a glass
cleaner. Rinse and polish with a dry cloth.
Do not allow the water or cleaner to run down
inside the openings in the glass or the openings in
the top of the oven door while cleaning.
