Control Panel - GE JTP16 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 can 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
and lift the door straight
off the hinges.
NOTE:
Be careful not to place hands between the hinge
and the oven door frame.
While working in the oven area, cover the hinges
with towels or empty paper towel rolls to prevent
pinched fingers.
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
. If hinges snap back towards the oven frame, pull
t.
them back out.

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.
Probe
The temperature probe may be cleaned with soap and
water or a soap-filled scouring pad. Cool the
temperature probe before cleaning. Scour stubborn
spots with a soap-filled scouring pad, rinse and dry.
Do not store the temperature probe in the oven.

TO CLEAN THE DOOR:
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. Any soap left on the liner causes additional
stains when the oven is heated.
The area outside the gasket can be cleaned with
a scouring pad.
Do not rub or clean the door gasket—the fiberglass
material of the gasket has an extremely low
resistance to abrasion. An intact and well-fitting
oven door gasket is essential for energy-efficient
oven operation and good baking results. 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.
NOTE: The gasket is designed with a gap at the
bottom to allow for proper air circulation.
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
the outside of the door.
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 solution works well.
