GE JGBS72 Oven Shelves, Shelf Positions, Oven Vents, Oven Moisture, Oven Light on some models

Oven Shelves

The shelves are designed with stop- locks so when placed correctly on the shelf suppor~, they will stop before coming completely out of the oven and will not tilt when you are removing food from them or placing food on them.

When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf out to the bump on the shelf support. Place the cookware on the shelf, then slide the shelf back into the oven.

This will eliminate reaching into the hot oven.

To remove a shelf from the oven, pull it toward you, tilt the front end upward and pull the shelf out.

To replace, place the shelf on the shelf support

with the stop-locks	Y Ill
(curved extension of the

shel~ facing up and toward the rear of the oven. Tilt up the front and push the shelf toward the back of the oven until it goes past the bump on the shelf support. Then lower the front of the shelf and push it all the way back.

Shelf Positions

The oven has five shelf supports for baking and roasting identified in this illustration as A (bottom), B, C, D and E (top). It also has a special low shelf position (R) for roasting extra large items, such as a large turkey—the shelf is not designed to slide out at this position. Shelf positions for cooking are suggested in the Baking, Broiling and Roasting sections.

Oven Vents

The oven is vented through duct openings at the rear

of the cooktop. See the Features section. Do not block these openings when cooking in the oven—it is important that the flow of hot air from the oven and fresh air to the oven burners be uninterrupted.

●The vent openings and nearby surfaces may become hot. Do not touch them.

●Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop may become hot if left too close to the vent.

●Do not leave any 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.

●Do not leave plastic

items on the cooktop they may melt if left too close to the vent.

“Metal items will become very hot if they are left on the cooktop and could cause burns.

Oven Moisture

As your oven heats up, the temperature change of the air in the oven may cause water droplets to form on the door glass. These droplets are harmless and will evaporate as the oven continues to heat up.

Oven Light (on some models)

The oven light comes on automatically when the door is opened. Some models have a switch on tie lower control panel that allows you to turn the light on or off when the door is closed.
