Oven Shelves; Shelf Positions; Oven Vents - GE JGBC15 Use And Care & Installation Manual

Oven Shelves

The shelves are
designed with stop-
locks so when placed
correctly on the shelf
before coming
completely out of the
oven and will not tilt
when you are removing
food from them or
placing food on them.
When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf out
to the bump on the shelf support. Place the cookware
on the shelf, then slide the shelf back into the oven.
This will eliminate reaching into the hot oven.

Shelf Positions

The oven has five shelf supports for baking and
roasting identified in this illustration as A (bottom),
B, C, D and E (top). It also has a special low shelf
position (R) for roasting extra large items, such as a
large turkey—the shelf is not designed to slide out at
this position. Shelf positions for cooking are suggested
in the Baking, Broiling and Roasting sections.

Oven Vents

The oven is vented through duct openings at the rear
of the cooktop. See the Features section. Do not block
these openings when cooking in the oven—it is
important that the flow of hot air from the oven and
fresh air to the oven burners be uninterrupted.
The vent openings and nearby surfaces may
become hot. Do not touch them.
Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop may
become hot if left too close to the vent.
on the cooktop and could cause burns.
Oven Moisture
As your oven heats up, the temperature change of the
air in the oven may cause water droplets to form on
the door glass. These droplets are harmless and will
evaporate as the oven continues to heat up.
To remove a shelf
from the oven, pull it
toward you, tilt the front
end upward and pull the
shelf out.
To replace, place the

of the oven until it goes past the bump on the shelf
support. Then lower the front of the shelf and push it
all the way back.
Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air
from the vent may ignite flammable items and will
increase pressure in closed containers, which may
cause them to burst.
Do not leave plastic
items on the cooktop
they may melt if left
too close to the vent.
