Cleaning The Oven Door; Porcelain Oven Interior - GE JCBS55 Owner's Manual And Installation Instructions

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.

Cleaning the Oven Door

To clean the inside of the door:
I
Soap and water will normally do the
job. Heavy spattering or spillovers may
require cleaning with a mild abrasive
cleaner. Soap-filled scouring pads may
also be used.
Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid
content (such as tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices
or pie filling) to remain on the surface. They may
cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner. Follow
the package directions.
I
Clean the inside of the oven window
with a mild non-scratching cleaner and
a damp cloth.

Porcelain Oven Interior

With proper care, the porcelain enamel
finish on the inside of the oven—top,
bottom, sides, back and inside of the
door—will stay new-looking for years.
Let the oven cool before cleaning. We
recommend that you wear rubber gloves
when cleaning the oven.

Household ammonia may make the
cleaning job easier. Place 1/2 cup in
a shallow glass or pottery container in
a cold oven overnight. The ammonia
fumes will help loosen the burned-on
grease and food.

To clean the outside of the door:
I
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.
I
If any stain on the door vent trim is persistent,
use a soft abrasive cleaner and a sponge-
scrubber for best results.
I
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.
I
Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning powders or
harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.
If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner.
Follow the package directions.
I
Do not spray oven cleaner on the electrical
controls and switches because it could cause a
short circuit and result in sparking or fire.
I
Do not allow a film from the cleaner 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 as a change in
its position could affect how the oven bakes.
I
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.
