Removable Oven Bottom - GE JGSP20 Use And Care Manual

Drip Pans
The drip pans can permanently discolor if exposed to
excessively high heat or if soil is allowed to bake on.
Remove the grates. Then lift out the chrome-plated
drip pans.
Never use abrasive cleansers or steel wool—they'll
scratch the surface.
To remove brown food stains, wash with soapy
water or mild abrasives and soap-filled scouring pads.
Rinse well with clean water. Polish dry. If heavily
soiled, place an ammonia-soaked paper towel on the
drip pan to loosen the soil. Then gently scrub with a
plastic scouring pad.
Oven Light Bulb
The light bulb is located in the
upper right corner of the oven.
Before replacing the bulb,
disconnect electrical power to the
range at the main fuse or circuit
breaker panel or unplug the range
from the electric outlet. Let the
light bulb cool completely before
removing it. Do not touch a hot
light bulb with a damp cloth. If
you do, the light bulb will break.

Blue/gold heat stains can be lessened with a metal
polish but are usually permanent. To minimize
staining, avoid excessive use of high heat settings and
use flat-bottomed pans that do not extend more than
two inches from the surface unit.
The drip pans may also be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Clean the area under the drip pans often. Built-up
soil, especially grease, may catch on fire.
CAUTION: Be sure all the controls are turned to.
OFF and the surface units are cool before attempting
to remove them.
To replace:
Put in a new 40-watt appliance
bulb.
NOTE: A 40-watt appliance bulb
is smaller than a standard 40-watt
household bulb.
Install the light cover. Replace
the 3 screws and tighten, making
sure the cover fits flush with
oven wall.
Reconnect electrical power to
the range.
The oven bottom has a porcelain enamel finish. To
make cleaning easier, protect the oven bottom from
excessive spillovers. This is particularly important
when baking a fruit pie or other foods with high acid
content. Hot fruit fillings or foods that are acidic
(such as milk, tomatoes or sauerkraut, and sauces with
vinegar or lemon juice) may cause pitting and damage
to the porcelain enamel surface.
To protect the oven bottom surface, place a piece of
aluminum foil slightly larger than the baking dish or a
small cookie sheet on a lower shelf or under the
baking dish to catch any spillovers. It should not
heat in the oven. Aluminum foil should not be placed
on the oven bottom.
If a spillover does occur on the oven bottom, allow
the oven to cool first. You can clean the oven bottom
with soap and water, a mild abrasive cleanser or soap-
filled abrasive pads. Rinse well.
