GE JGBP35GEP, JGBP38GES, JGBP34GEP Self-Cleaning Oven, c Keep all plastics away from top burners

●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.

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 Oven

●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.
