Shelves - GE JTP85 Owner's Manual

Care and cleaning of the cooking center.
Roasting rack
Oven shelf
Lift the door straight up and off
the hinges.
The gasket is designed with a gap at
the bottom to allow for proper air
circulation.
Do not rub or clean the door
gasket—it has an extremely low
resistance to abrasion.
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.

Oven Shelves
(lower oven)
Clean the oven shelves with an abrasive
cleanser or steel wool. After cleaning,
rinse the shelves and rack with clean
water and dry with a clean cloth.
Lift-Off Oven Door
(lower oven)
The lower oven door is removable for
cleaning.
Do not lift the door by the handle.
To remove the door, open it to the broil
stop position. Grasp firmly on each side
and lift the door straight up and off
the hinges.
Do not place hands between the hinge and the
oven door frame.
To replace the door, make sure the hinges
are in the broil stop position. Position the
slots in the bottom of the door squarely
over the hinges and slowly lower it over
both hinges.
To clean the 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.
Lower Oven Heating Elements
Do not clean the bake element or the broil
element. Any soil will burn off when the elements
are heated.
Control Panel
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.
NOTE: The oven shelves may be cleaned in the
self-cleaning oven. However, the shelves will
darken in color, lose their luster and become hard
to slide if cleaned during the self-cleaning cycle.
You can wipe the shelf supports with cooking
oil after self-cleaning to make the shelves slide
more easily.
The area outside the gasket and the
front frame can be cleaned with a soap-
filled steel wool or plastic pad, hot
water and detergent. Rinse well with a
vinegar and water solution.
To clean the outside of the door:
Use soap and water to thoroughly clean
the top, sides and front of the oven
door. Rinse well. You may also use a
glass cleaner to clean the glass on the
outside of the door. Do not let water
drip into the vent openings.
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, cleaning
powders or harsh abrasives on the
outside of the door.
To clean the oven floor, gently lift the bake
element. Clean with warm soapy water.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong
liquid cleansers, plastic scouring pads or
oven cleansers on the control panel—they
will damage the finish. A 50/50 solution
of vinegar and hot water works well.
