Broiler Pan And Grid; Lift-Off Oven Door - GE JSP40 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. Then lower the
door slowly and evenly over both hinges at the same
time. If hinges snap back against the oven frame, pull
them back out.
TO CLEAN THE DOOR:
Inside of the door:
• Because the area inside the gasket is cleaned during
the self-clean cycle, you do not need to clean this by
hand. Any soap left on the liner causes additional
stains when the oven is heated.

Broiler Pan and Grid

After broiling, remove the broiler pan and grid from
the oven. Remove the grid from the pan. Carefully
pour the grease from the pan into a proper container.
Wash and rinse the broiler pan and grid in hot water
with a soap-filled or plastic scouring pad.
If food has burned-on, sprinkle the grid with
detergent while hot and cover with wet paper
towels or a dishcloth. Soaking the pan will remove
burned-on foods.

CARE AND CLEANING
(continued)
• The area outside the gasket can be cleaned with a
soap-filled scouring pad.
• Do not rub or clean the door gasket—the fiberglass
material of the gasket has an extremely low
resistance to abrasion. An intact and well-fitting
oven door gasket is essential for energy-efficient
oven operation and good baking results. If you
notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or damaged
in any way or if it has become displaced on the door,
you should have it replaced.
NOTE: The gasket is designed with a gap at the
bottom to allow for proper air circulation.
Outside of the door:
• Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top,
sides and front of the oven door. DO NOT let water
run down through openings in the top of the 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 surface is cool, clean and rinse.
• Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing powders or
harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.
Both the broiler pan and grid may be cleaned with a
commercial oven cleaner.
Do not store a soiled pan and grid anywhere in
the range.
Both the broiler pan and grid can also be cleaned
in the dishwasher.
Do not clean the broiler pan or grid in the
self-cleaning oven.
