Cleaning The Oven - GE JK1000 Owner's Manual

Cleaning The Oven
Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the oven,
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.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers,
plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control
panel--they will damage the finish.
Oven Exterior
Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleansers, strong
liquid cleansers, steel wool, plastic scouring pads, or
cleaning powders on the interior or exterior of the oven.
Clean with a mild soap and water or vinegar and water
solution. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
When cleaning surfaces, make sure that they are at
room temperature and not in direct sunlight.
If stain on the door vent trim is persistent, use a mild
abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results.
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and
basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration
and should be wiped up immediately. Let hot surfaces
cool, then clean and rinse.

water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe
the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner
instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.
To inquire about purchasing cleaning products including

Oven Interior
The interior of your new oven can be cleaned manually
or by using the Steam Clean mode.

basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration
and should be wiped up immediately. Let hot surfaces
cool, then clean and rinse.
Manual Cleaning
Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleaners, strong
liquid cleansers, steel wool, scouring pads, or cleaning
powders on the interior of the oven. Clean with a mild
soap and water or vinegar and water solution. Rinse with
clean water and dry with a soft cloth. When cleaning
surfaces, make sure that they are at room temperature.
Steam Clean Mode
Steam clean is intended to clean small spills using water
and a low cleaning temperature.
To use the Steam Clean feature, wipe grease and soils
from the oven. Pour one cup of water into the bottom
of the oven. Close the door. Press the Steam Clean
pad and then press Start. Do not open the door during
the steam clean as this will decrease the steam clean
performance. Wipe out any excess water and any
remaining soil.
Flat Racks
Flat racks can be washed with warm, soapy water.
Racks may be more difficult to slide with time or after
cleaning. If racks do become more difficult to slide, put
some vegetable oil on a soft cloth or paper towel and
rub onto the left and right edges.
