GE JT96530 manual Broiler Pan & Grid lower oven, Control Panel, Removable Lower Oven Floor, water

Care and cleaning of the cooking center.

After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the oven.

Broiler Pan & Grid (lower oven)

Do not clean the broiler pan or grid in a self-cleaning oven.

After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the oven. Remove the grid from the pan. Carefully pour out the grease from the pan into a proper container.

Wash and rinse the broiler pan and grid in hot water with a soap-filled or plastic scouring pad.

If food has burned on, sprinkle the grid with detergent while hot and cover with wet paper towels or a dishcloth. Soaking the pan will remove burned-on foods.

Both the broiler pan and grid may be cleaned with a commercial oven cleaner.

Both the broiler pan and grid can also be cleaned in a dishwasher.

Do not store a soiled broiler pan and grid anywhere in the cooking center.

Control Panel

It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use. Clean with mild soap and water or vinegar and water, rinse with clean water and 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. A 50/50 solution of vinegar and hot water works well.

Oven Heating Elements

Do not clean the broil element. Any soil will burn off when the element is heated.

The bake element is not exposed and is under the removable oven floor. If spillovers, residue or ash accumulate on the removable oven floor, wipe up before self-cleaning.

To clean the bake element area, take out the removable floor (see the Removable Oven Floor section) and gently lift the bake element. Clean with warm soapy water. Always replace the removable floor before next use.

NOTE: Failure to replace the removable floor will adversely affect the cooking performance.
