Care and cleaning of the range. www.GEAppliances.com
Be sure all controls are off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.
If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the anti-tip
device is re-engaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to take this
precaution could result in tipping of the range and cause injury.
How to Remove Packaging Tape
To assure no damage is done to the finish
of the product, the safest way to remove
the adhesive left from packaging tape on
new appliances is an application of a
household liquid dishwashing detergent,
mineral oil or cooking oil.
Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak.
Wipe dry and then apply an appliance
polish to thoroughly clean and protect
the surface.
NOTE: The plastic tape (on some models) must
be removed from all chrome trim. It cannot be
removed if it is baked on.
Oven Heating Elements
Do not clean the bake element or the broil
element. Any soil will burn off when the
elements are heated.
To clean the oven floor, gently lift
the bake element. Clean with warm
soapy water.
Control Knobs
The control knobs may be removed for easier
cleaning.
To remove a knob, pull it straight
off the stem. If a knob is difficult to
remove, place a towel or dishcloth
between the knob and control panel
and pull gently. Wash the knobs in soap
and water or a vinegar and hot water
solution.
Before removing the knobs for
cleaning, please note that the knobs are
in the OFF position. When replacing the
knobs, check the OFF position to ensure
proper placement.
Do not bend knobs by pulling them
up or down or by hanging a towel or
other such loads. This can damage
the shaft.
To replace:
Check the back of the knob.
The molded rib of the knob is
designed to fit perfectly onto the
knob stem.
Align the molded rib to the clear
groove in the knob stem. Push the
knob back as far as it will go.

Control Panel
It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel
after each use of the oven. Use a damp
cloth to clean or rinse. For cleaning, use
mild soap and water or a 50/50 solution
of vinegar and water. For rinsing, use
clean water. Polish dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong
liquid cleaners, plastic scouring pads or
oven cleaners on the control panel—
they will damage the finish.
