GE JHC56G Double Oven User Manual


 
Do notattempt todean the oven mti~you have read this section.
The top, bottom, sides, and back of
the oven liner, and door inner liner
are finished with a special coating
which cannot be cleaned in the
usual manner with soap, detergents,
commercial oven cleaners, coarse
abrasive pads or coarse brushes.
Their use and/ or the use of oven
sprays will cause permanent
damage.
The special coating is aporous
ceramic material which is dark in
color and feels slightly rough to the
touch. If magnified, the surface
would appear as peaks, valleys, and
sub-surface “tunnels.” This rough
finish tends to prevent grease spat-
ters from forming little beads or
droplets which run down the side
walls of a hard-surface oven liner
leaving unsightly streaks that
require hand cleaning. Instead,
when spatter hits the porous finish
it is dispersed and is partially
absorbed. This dispersal action
increases the exposure of oven soil
to heated air, which results in oxi-
dation of soil. This finish also
reduces the visual effect of residual
soil. It may not disappear com-
pletely and at some time after
extended usage, stains may appear.
The special coaling works best on
small amounts of spatter. It does
not work wellwith larger spills,
especially sugars, egg, or dairy mix-
tures. For this reason, the oven is
equipped with a removable, replace-
able aluminum foil oven bottom
liner which protects the porous
finish
on the bottom of the oven
“fromspillovers. Avoid spills on
inside surface of the oven door.
This special finish is not used on
oven s-helves.Shelves are removable
and can be taken to the sink for
cleaning. See “Cleaning Chart” on
page 17for cleaning directions.
‘r(’)clean owl:
Use the following steps when
cleaning your Continuous-Clean
Oven.
1. Let range parts cool before han-
dling. It is recommended that
rubber gloves be worn when
cleaning range parts manually.
2. Remove all cooking utensils
including the broiler pan and raclc.
3. Remove oven shelvesand clean
them manually with scouring pads
or mild abrasive.
4. Remove excess spillsand boil-
overs from aluminum foil oven
bottom liner before removing liner
from oven. This is to prevent excess
liquids from spilling ~nto the
porous finish. Then remove alum-
inum foil bottom liner and clean
manually. (Before cleaning or re-
moving the aluminum foil liner, lift
bake unit out of the way.)
5. Clean oven window. Use mild
non-scratching cleanser and damp
cloth. Avoid spilling water or
cleaner on porous surface.
6. Soil visibility may be reduced by
operating oven at 400°F. Close
door; set oven switch to bake and
oven temperature control to 400°F.
Time for at least 4 hours, Repeated
cyclesmay be necessary before
improvement in appearance is
apparent, particularly on oven
door. For moderate to heavy
soiling of oven door, use method
described in item (7) below before
running 400°F, cycle. The oven
timer can be used to control the
cycleautomatically at a time con-
venient for you. Some slight
smoking may occur, similar to that
which may occur during Time Bake
cooking.

DURING THE
OPERATION OF THE OVEN,
THE DOOR, WINDOW AND
O~”HER RANGE SURFACES
WILL GET HOT ENOUGH TO
CAUSE BURNS. DO NOT
TOUCH. LET THE RANGE
COOL BEFORE REPLACING
ALUMINUM FOIL OVEN BOT-
TOM AND OVEN SHELVES IF
THEY WERE REMOVED.
7. If a spillover or heavy soiling
occurs on the porous surJace,as
soon as the oven has cooled, re-
move as much of the soil as pos-
sible using a small amount of water
and a stiff bristle nylon brush.
When using water,-use it sparingly
and change it frequently, keeping it
as clean as possible, and be sure to
blot it up with paper towels, cloths,
or sponges. Do not rub or scrub
with paper towels, cloths or
sponges-,sincethesewillleave

and
blot it with a clean spcnge,
starting at the edge of the ring and
working toward the center.
Use care in removing and replacing
aluminum foil oven bottom liner
and shelvesand in placingand re-
movingdishesand food to avoid

damagin~ the pordusjinish on the
oven walls and door.
Do not use soap, detergent, com-
mercial oven cleaner, s[licone oven
sprays, coarse steel pads or coarse
brushes on the porous surface.
These prod ~ictswill spot, clog, and
mar the porous surfa& and reduce
its ability to work.
