Care and cleaning of the oven.
GEAppliances.com
Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the oven.
Removable Storage Drawer
The storage drawer is a good place to store
cookware and bakeware. Do not store plastics
and flammable material in the drawer.
Do not overload the storage drawer. If the
drawer is too heavy, it may slip off the track
when opened. To open the drawer, grasp the
center of the handle and pull straight out.
Most cleaning can be done with the drawer
in place. However, the drawer may be
removed if further cleaning is needed. Use
soap and warm water to thoroughly clean.
To remove:
Pull the drawer straight out and lift over
the guide stops.
To replace:
Lift over the guide stops and slide the
drawer into place.
To clean both the inside and the outside:
Wipe with soap and water. Rinse well.
Do not use cleansing powders or harsh
abrasives which may scratch the surface.
Oven Air Vents
Never block the vents (air openings) of the
oven. They provide the air inlet and outlet
that are necessary for the oven to operate
properly with correct combustion. Air openings are located under the control
panel, above the door.
How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape
Carefully grasp a corner of the protective
shipping film with your fingers and slowly
peel it from the appliance surface. Do not
use any sharp items to remove the film.
Remove all of the film before using the
appliance for the first time. To assure no damage is done to the
finish of the product, the safest way to
remove the adhesive from packaging tape
on new appliances is an application of a
household liquid dishwashing detergent.
Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak.
NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all parts.
It cannot be removed if it is baked on.
Using the self-cleaning oven.

After a Clean Cycle
You may notice some white ash in the oven.
Wipe it up with a damp cloth after the
oven cools.
If white spots remain, remove them with a
soap-filled scouring pad and rinse thoroughly
with a vinegar and water mixture.
These deposits are usually a salt residue that
cannot be removed by the clean cycle.
If the oven is not clean after one clean
cycle, repeat the cycle.
NOTES:
■
You cannot set the oven for cooking until
the oven is cool enough for the door to
unlock.
■
While the oven is self-cleaning, you
can touch the CLOCK pad to display
the time of day. To return to the
clean countdown, touch the COOKING
TIME pad.
■
If you have left the racks in the oven
during the self-clean cycle and they
become hard to slide, apply a small
amount of vegetable oil or cooking oil to
a paper towel and wipe the edges of the
oven racks with the paper towel.
