Cooktop - GE Self-Cleaning Electric Range Use And Care & Installation Manual

Oven Shelves
Clean the shelves with
an abrasive cleanser
or steel wool. After
cleaning, rinse the shelves with clean water and dry with
a clean cloth.
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.
The enamel grid and broiler pan may be cleaned in
the self-clean oven. However, to prevent heavy smoke
caused by self-cleaning the greasy soil in the pan, you
must first clean off the excess grease.
How to Remove the Storage Drawer or Kick Panel to Clean Under the Range
The area under the range can be reached easily for
cleaning by removing the bottom drawer (on some
models). To remove, pull the drawer out all the way,
tilt up the front and remove it. To replace, insert glides
at the back of the drawer beyond the stop on range
glides. Lift the drawer if necessary to insert easily. Let
the front of the drawer down, then push in to close.
Porcelain Enamel Cooktop
The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but
breakable if misused. This finish is acid-resistant.
However, any acidic foods spilled (such as fruit
juices, tomato or vinegar) should not be permitted to
remain on the finish.
If acids spill on the cooktop while it is hot, use
a dry paper towel or cloth to wipe it up right away.
When the surface has cooled, wash with soap and
water. Rinse well.
Oven Heating Elements
Do not clean the bake element or the broil element.
Any soil will burn off when the elements are heated.
The bake element can be lifted gently to clean the
oven floor. If spillovers, residue or ash accumulate
around the bake element gently wipe around the
element with warm water.
(on some models)
The oven shelves may be cleaned in self-cleaning
oven. However, they will darken, lose their luster and
become hard to slide. Wipe the shelf supports with
cooking oil after self-cleaning to make shelves slide
more easily.
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.
The broiler pan may be cleaned with a commercial
oven cleaner. Do not use an oven cleaner on the grid.
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 clean under models
with a front kick panel,
remove the panel by pulling
it straight out at the bottom.
To replace the panel, first
hook the top tabs on and then
the bottom tabs.
For other spills such as fat spatterings, wash with
soap and water or cleansing powders after the surface
has cooled. Rinse well. Polish with a dry cloth.
