Care And Cleaning; Broiler Pan And Grid - GE JTP85 Use And Care Manual

Proper care and cleaning are important so your
cooking center will give you efficient and satisfactory
service. Follow these directions carefully in caring for
it to help assure safe and proper maintenance.
Microwave Oven
Outside
• Clean the outside of the microwave oven with
soap and a damp cloth, then rinse with a damp
cloth and dry. Wipe the window clean with a damp
cloth. Chrome is best wiped with a damp cloth and
then with a dry towel.
Inside
• Keep the microwave oven clean and sweet-smelling.
Opening the oven door a few minutes after cooking
helps air out the interior. An occasional thorough
wiping with a solution of baking soda and water
keeps the interior fresh.
• Spills and spatters are easy to remove from walls
and floor. That's because there's little heat except
in the food, or sometimes in the cookware. Some
spatters wipe up with a paper towel, some may
require a damp cloth. Remove greasy spatters with
a sudsy cloth, then rinse and dry.
• Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can
break off the pad, causing electrical shock.
Wipe up spatters on the window on the inside
of the door daily. When the window is soiled, wash
it with a damp cloth. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
Wipe metal and plastic parts on the inside of the
door frequently. Use a damp cloth to remove all soil.
Do not use abrasives, such as cleaning powders or
steel and plastic pads. They may mar the surface.

Broiler Pan and Grid

After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the oven.
Remove the grid from the pan. Carefully pour out
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

BE SURE ELECTRIC POWER IS OFF AND ALL
SURFACES ARE COOL BEFORE CLEANING
ANY PART OF THE COOKING CENTER.
Removable Turntable and Turntable Support
• To prevent breakage, do not place the turntable into
water just after cooking. Wash it carefully in warm,
sudsy water or in the dishwasher. The turntable and
support can be broken if dropped. Remember, do not
operate the microwave oven without the turntable
and support in place.
Door Surface
• When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that
come together on closing the door, use only mild,
non-abrasive soaps or detergents applied with a
sponge or soft cloth.
If you use a Brown 'N Sear Dish:
®
• Use Bon Ami brand cleanser. High heat generated
on the bottom of the Brown 'N Sear Dish can cause
stains to bake onto the oven floor if grease is present.
These may be removed with Bon Ami
cleanser. After using this cleanser, rinse and dry
thoroughly, following cleanser instructions carefully.
DO NOT USE A COMMERCIAL OVEN
CLEANER ON ANY PART OF YOUR
MICROWAVE OVEN.
Both the broiler pan and grid may be cleaned with a
commercial oven cleaner.
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.
Do not store a soiled broiler pan and grid anywhere in
the oven.
