Broiler Pan And Grid; Control Knobs; Porcelain Oven Interior - GE JAS02 Use And Care & Installation Manual

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.

Control Knobs

The control knobs may be removed for easier
cleaning.
Before removing the knobs for cleaning, please note
that the knobs are in the proper OFF position. When
replacing the knobs, check the OFF position to insure
proper placement.
Painted Surfaces
Painted surfaces include the sides and kick panel. Clean these with soap and
water or a vinegar and water solution. Do not use commercial oven
cleaners, cleansing powders, steel wool or harsh abrasives on any
painted surface.

Porcelain Oven Interior

With proper care, the porcelain enamel interior will
retain its attractive finish for many years.
Soap and water will normally do the job. Heavy
spattering or spillovers may require cleaning with a
mild abrasive cleanser. Soapy, wet 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 dull spots even after cleaning.
Household ammonia may make the cleaning job
easier. Place 1/2 cup ammonia in a shallow glass pan
and leave in a cold oven overnight. The ammonia
fumes will help loosen the burned-on grease and food.
When necessary, you may use a commercial oven
cleaner. Follow the package directions.
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.
Both the broiler pan and grid can also be cleaned in
the dishwasher.
Do not store a soiled broiler pan and grid anywhere
in the range.
To remove a knob, pull it straight
off the stem.
Wash the knobs in soap and
water but do not soak. Avoid
getting water down in the knob
stem holes.
Cautions about using spray-on oven cleaners:
• Do not spray the oven cleaner 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 remain 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 bulb 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 oven
door, handles or any exterior surface of the oven,
cabinet or painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage
these surfaces.
