Porcelain Oven Interior - GE JMS10 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 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.

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 range cool before
cleaning. We recommend that
you wear rubber gloves when cleaning the range.
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.
If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner.
Follow the package directions.

CARE AND CLEANING
(continued)
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. 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.
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, cabinets or painted surfaces. The cleaner
can damage these surfaces
