Care And Cleaning - GE EML835 Owner's Manual

Care and cleaning of the range.
Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.
The gasket is designed with a gap
at the bottom to allow for proper air
circulation.
Do not rub or clean the door gasket―
it has an extremely low resistance to
abrasion.
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.

(non-self-clean models)

Do not allow food spills with
a high sugar or acid content
(such as milk, tomatoes,
sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie
cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
Household ammonia may make the
cleaning job easier. Place 1/2 cup in a
shallow glass or pottery container in a
cold oven overnight.
Cleaning the Oven Door
To clean the 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.
The area outside the gasket and the
door liner can be cleaned with a
water and detergent. Rinse well with a
vinegar and water solution.
To clean the 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
on the outside of the door. Do not let
water drip into the vent openings.
when the range is replaced. Failure to take
this precaution could result in tipping of the
range and cause injury.
The ammonia fumes will help loosen
―top,
the burned-on grease and food.
If necessary, you may use an oven
cleaner. Follow the package directions.
Do not spray oven cleaner on the
electrical controls and switches
because it could cause a short circuit
to build up 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
sensor clean after each oven cleaning,
being careful not to move the sensor
how the oven bakes.
Do not spray any oven cleaner on the
oven door, handles or any exterior
surface of the oven, cabinets or painted
surfaces . The cleaner can damage
these surfaces .
If any stain on the door vent trim
is persistent, use a soft abrasive
cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for
best results.
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices,
tomato sauces and basting
materials containing acids may
cause discoloration and should
be wiped up immediately. When
surface is cool, clean and rinse.
Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning
powders or harsh a brasives on the
outside of the door.
