GE JGBP34GEP Range User Manual


 
Use
proper pan siz&Avoid pans that are
unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having
flat bottoms large enough to properly contain food
and avoid
boilovers
and
spillovers
and large
enough to cover burner grate. This will both save
cleaning time
and
prevent hazardous accumulations
of food, since heavy spattering or
spillovers
left
on
range can ignite. Use pans with handles that
can be easily grasped and remain cool.
c
Keep all plastics away from top burners.
Do not leave
plastic
items on the
cooktop—
they may
melt if left too close

Do not leave any
Vent appearance and location
va~
items on the
cooktop.
The hot air from the vent
may ignite flammable items and will increase
pressure in closed containers, which may cause
them to burst.
To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be
certain that the controls for all burners are at
the OFF position
and
all grates are cool before
attempting to remove them.
c
When flaming foods are under the hood, turn
the fan off.
The fan, if operating, may spread
the flames.
If range is located near a window,
do not hang
long curtains that could blow over the top burners
and
create a fire hazard.
If you smell gas,
turn off the gas to the range and
call a qualified service technician. Never use an
open flame to locate a leak.
Baking, Broiling and Roasting
Do not use oven for a storage area. Items
stored in the oven can ignite.
Stand away from the range when opening the
door of a hot oven. The hot air and steam that
escape can cause burns to hands, face and eyes.
*
Keep oven free from grease buildup.
Q
Place oven shelves in desired position while
oven
is cool.
PuUing
out shelf to the shelf-stop is a
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also
a precaution against burns from touching hot
surfaces of the door or oven walls. The lowest
position
“R”
is not designed to slide.
Don’t heat unopened food containers in the
oven. Pressure could build up and the
container
could
burst, causing an injury.
o
Don’t use aluminum foil anywhere in the oven
except as described in this book.
Misuse could
result in a fire hazard or damage to the range.
When using cooking or roasting bags in oven,
follow the manufacturer’s directions.
c
Use only glass cookware that is recommended
for use in gas ovens.
c
Always remove broiler pan from oven as soon
as you finish broiling.
Grease left in the pan can
catch fire if oven is used without removing the
grease from the broiler pan.
When broiling, if meat is too close to the flame,
the fat may ignite.
Trim excess fat to prevent
excessive flare-ups.
Make sure broiler pan is in place correctly
to
reduce the possibility of grease fires.
If you should have a grease fire in the broiler
pan,
turn off oven,
and
keep oven door closed to
contain fire until it burns out.
Q
Keep range clean and free of accumulations of
grease or
spillovers,
which may ignite.
Self-Cleaning

Do
not use oven cleaners. No
commercial oven
cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind
should be used in or around any part of the oven.
Residue from oven cleaners will damage the
inside of the oven when
the
self-clean cycle
is used.
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the
broiler pan and other cookware.
Be sure to wipe up excess spillage
before starting
the self-cleaning operation.
If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions,
turn off
and disconnect the power supply. Have serviced
by a qualified technician.
