⚠ WARNING!

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

- Do not store flammable materials in an oven.

■ CAUTION: Items of interest to children should not be stored in cabinets above an oven; children climbing on the oven to reach items could be seriously injured.

■ Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items stored in cabinets over the oven. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with hot surfaces or heating elements and may cause severe burns.

Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

For your safety, never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.

- Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the oven.

Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.

Flame in the oven can be smothered completely by closing the oven door and turning the oven off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

Do not touch the heating elements or the interior surface of the oven. These surfaces may be hot enough to burn even though they are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact any interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time for cooling first.

Potentially hot surfaces include oven vent openings, surfaces near the openings, crevices around the oven door, the edges of the window and metal trim parts above the door.

REMEMBER: The inside surface of the oven may be hot when the door is opened.

■ Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in or near your oven.

Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

Stand away from the oven when opening the oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury.

- Keep the oven vent unobstructed.

- Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

Place the oven rack in the desired position while the oven is cool. If racks must be handled when hot, do not let pot holder contact the heating elements.

When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer's directions.

Pulling out the rack to the stop-lock is a convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a precaution against burns from touching hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.

Do not use the oven to dry newspapers. If overheated, they can catch on fire.

- Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items stored in an oven can ignite.

- Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the oven when not in use.

■ After broiling, always take any broiler pan out of the oven and clean it. Leftover grease in a broiler pan can catch fire next time you use the pan.

- Clean only parts listed in this Owner's Manual.

Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms. Improper installation of aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

GE Profile JT980WHWW - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS - 1

TRIVECTION™ OVEN

Read and follow the specific "Precautions to Avoid Possible Exposure to Excessive Microwave Energy" section in this manual.

To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance if paper, plastic or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
In defrost mode, remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic containers before placing bags in the oven.
■ Oven Cooking Bags—Do not use the wire twist-tie to close the bag.
■ Do not use paper towels.
■ Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.
Do not overcook potatoes. They could dehydrate and catch fire, causing damage to your oven.
Do not operate the oven while empty to avoid damage to the oven and the danger of fire.
- Do not use the oven for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the oven when not in use.
If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep the oven door closed, turn the oven off and shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel. If the door is opened, the fire may spread.
This oven is not approved or tested for marine use.

Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers—for example, closed jars—will explode and should not be heated in this oven. Such use of the oven could result in injury.
Do not boil eggs in this oven. Pressure will build up inside the egg yolk and will cause it to burst, possibly resulting in injury.
■ Do not pop popcorn in your oven.
- Foods with unbroken outer “skin” such as potatoes, sausages, tomatoes, apples, egg yolks, chicken livers and other giblets should be pierced to allow steam to escape during cooking.
- Don't defrost frozen beverages in narrow-necked bottles (especially carbonated beverages). Even if the container is opened, pressure can build up. This can cause the container to burst, possibly resulting in injury.
Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Be careful when opening any containers of hot food, cooking pouches and boxes. To prevent possible injury, direct steam away from hands and face.
As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.

ALL THESE THINGS ARE NORMAL WITH YOUR TRIVECTION™ OVEN

■Steam or vapor escaping from around the door.
Dimming of the oven light and change in the blower sound may occur.
The microwave fan may operate with both ovens off. It is cooling the control and will turn itself off.

Some TV-radio interference might be noticed while using your oven. It is similar to the interference caused by other small appliances and does not indicate a problem with your oven.

GE Profile JT980WHWW - ALL THESE THINGS ARE NORMAL WITH YOUR TRIVECTION™ OVEN - 1

ARCING

If you see arcing, open the door and correct the problem.

Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by:

■ Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.
■Foil not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennas).

■Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins or gold-rimmed dishes in the oven.
■Recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces being used in the oven.

GE Profile JT980WHWW - Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by: - 1

SUPER HEATED WATER AND SPONTANEOUS BOILING

Liquids such as water, coffee or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.

GE Profile JT980WHWW - SUPER HEATED WATER AND SPONTANEOUS BOILING - 1

COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY...

Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160^ F and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180^ F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.

SELF-CLEANING OVEN

Do not clean the door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.
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.
- Keep the oven vent unobstructed.

Before self-cleaning the oven, remove shiny, silver-colored oven racks (on some models) and all other cookware.
- Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before starting the self-cleaning operation.
If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have it serviced by a qualified technician.
■Listen for fan—A fan noise should be heard sometime during the cleaning cycle. If not, call a serviceman before self-cleaning again.

30"lower oven of double oven has
7 rack positions A–G (as shown).

Before you begin...

The racks have stop-locks, so that when placed correctly on the supports, they will stop before coming completely out, and will not tilt.

When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out to the bump on the rack support.

To remove a rack, pull it toward you, tilt the front end up and pull it out.

To replace, place the end of the rack (stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the front and push the rack in.

NOTE: On double wall ovens, the rack design is unique for the upper Trivection™ oven. Due to this, the upper oven racks and the lower oven racks are not interchangeable.

NOTE: A cooling fan will automatically turn on during all cooking modes. This fan turns on to cool internal parts. It may run for up to 1-1/2 hours after the oven is turned off.

Microwave Assisted

In the Trivection oven, a microwave is used to assist cooking.

The combination of microwave, convection fan and heating elements is unique for each food category.

NOTE: The microwave will cycle on and off while cooking to best distribute energy to the food. The microwave turns off and the cook time stops counting down when the oven door is opened.

NOTE: The convection fan may cycle on and off and change direction while cooking to best distribute hot air in the oven. The convection fan shuts off when the oven door is opened.

Auto Recipe™ Conversion

You can use your favorite recipes in the Trivection oven.

When speedcooking, enter the traditional cooking temperature and the maximum recipe/package cook time. When speedcooking, the Auto Recipe ^™ conversion feature automatically converts traditional cook time into the appropriate

speedcooking time. The converted time will display after you start the oven. This time will be up to 5 times faster than traditional baking based on food type.

Cookware for Speedcooking...

You can use cookware that is oven-safe. Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers and bakeware that are recommended for use in traditional baking can also be used for speed baking. However, they should not be used at temperatures higher than the temperature recommended by the bakeware manufacturer.

If you are cooking with several pans, leave space between them. Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. To avoid arcing, be sure there is at least 1 inch of space between metal surfaces—pans, wall of cavity, aluminum foil.

Do not completely surround food with metal and/or foil while speedcooking—you will not have a time savings (for example, wrapping potato with foil, using metal roasting pan with lid).

When using a metal pan, do not cover it with a metal lid or foil (a glass lid or parchment paper may be used). However, foil may be used to shield food to prevent overbrowning or overcooking (i.e., placing small strips of foil on tips of wings and legs of poultry). Also, foil covers may be tented over food (i.e., large frozen casseroles) toward the end of their cook time to prevent overbrowning or overcooking.

DO NOT USE FOOD WRAPPERS MADE FROM A COMBINATION OF METAL FOIL AND PAPER IN THE OVEN in speedcook

modes. For example, some frozen or deli breads are baked and sold in these wrappers. Remove the food from the wrapper and speed bake on a flat metal pan.

When speedcooking with metal pans, heavy aluminum pans are recommended for best results.

When speed baking with stoneware or cooking stones, refer to the manufacturer's owner's manual for proper use and maintenance. For best results, preheat your flat cooking stones. If the manufacturer does not recommend preheating the cooking stones, do not use them in Speedcooking modes. Do not use hearth inserts while speedcooking.

Use pans with low sides whenever possible. A shallow pan allows air to circulate around the food more efficiently.

Dark or matte finish bakeware will produce darker browning on food. When you are speed broiling, it is important that you use the broiler pan with grid for best results. The pan is used to catch grease spills and the grid is used to prevent grease spatters.

Other Speedcooking Tips...

You must preheat your oven.

Put the food in the oven after the preheat beep when the oven control displays “Put Food In Oven” and then press START. You must press the START key after placing the food in the oven to start the speedcook mode.

When choosing a speedcook food category, refer to the chart on page 16.

All frozen foods should be speedcooked using the FROZENFOODS category.

When baking potatoes, the recommended cooking temperature is 350^ F and cooking time is 90 minutes for medium sized potatoes. Add an additional 15–30 minutes for large potatoes or when baking more than four potatoes.

In general, when cooking meats wrapped in dough or refrigerated dough product, use the Biscuit/Roll or BakedGoods category.

For recipes using a large quantity of cheese, milk and/or eggs, use the BakedGoods category.

Larger amounts of food or multiple racks of food may require additional time. Check food doneness as prompted and continue cooking as needed.

Items such as appetizers, cookies, biscuits and rolls can be speed baked on multiple racks. Cooking time may increase slightly for some foods, but since two or three racks of food are being cooked at the same time, the overall result is substantial time saved.

When cooking multiple items or pans, leave space between them for maximum air circulation.

Cakes and quick breads (banana, zucchini or pumpkin bread) are not recommended for multiple rack speed baking. Place cakes side-by-side on one rack if speed baking. When using more than one rack to cook these foods, use CONV MULTI mode. See Using the convection modes section.

Meats/Poultry

Cooking times will vary depending on the cut of meat. Check for doneness at minimum time. Note: Meats will continue to cook and internal temperatures will rise after they are removed from the oven (standing time).

Use the broiler pan and grid provided with your oven for best results.

As in a conventional oven, aluminum foil may be used to shield food—to prevent overbrowning or overcooking (i.e., placing small strips of foil on tips of wings and legs of poultry). Also, foil covers may be tented over food (i.e., large frozen casseroles) toward the end of their cook time to prevent overbrowning or overcooking. Make sure that the foil is securely attached to the food. However, large amounts of foil or fully enclosing food in foil blocks the microwave energy, which eliminates time savings.

Do not use oven thermometers, meat thermometers or wire twist-ties in the oven while speedcooking.

Pop-up thermometers in your meat may be inaccurate. Check the temperature of the meat with a thermometer after removing the meat from the oven.

For best results, speed bake turkeys unstuffed.

Tips for Speed Broiling

Your oven with Trivection™ technology has the flexibility to broil like a traditional oven or speed broil. Speed broiling of meats is approximately twice as fast as traditional broiling.

Speed broiling must be done with the door closed.

The oven must be preheated when speed broiling.

Turning meat and poultry is optional in speed broil. However, use tongs if turning meat to prevent piercing the meat and losing juices.

Speed broil will generally produce good results for medium to well done meats. If rare meat is desired, use traditional broil.

Cooking times will vary depending on the cut of meat. Check for doneness at minimum time using a meat thermometer. DO NOT leave a meat thermometer in the meat or poultry while cooking with Trivection technology since this may damage the thermometer.

For best results, use a pan designed for broiling.

Evenly slit fat around the outside edges of steaks and chops to prevent curling during broiling.

If desired, marinate meats before broiling. Brush with sauces during the last five minutes only.

Using the Trivection™ oven.

How to Set the Oven for Speed Broiling

Heat is provided by the upper element and microwave. Air is circulated with the reversing fan system. Oven door must be closed. Ideal for broiling foods to medium to well done doneness levels two times faster than traditional broil.

The defrost feature allows you to thaw food for a set amount of time.

Cookware/Tips for Defrosting

For best results, remove food from packaging and place on broil pan and grid. If food is left in packaging, slit, pierce or vent to prevent heat buildup.

Place food in the oven according to the Defrosting Guide.

You can use all cookware/containers that are oven safe or microwave-safe. Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Be sure there is at least 1 inch of space between metal surfaces—pans, wall of cavity, aluminum foil—to prevent arcing. Dishes with metallic trim should not be used as arcing may occur. Remove metal twist ties from paper or plastic bags before placing them in the oven.

Do not completely surround food with metal and/or foil.

Plastic storage containers should be uncovered before defrosting.

Foods that spoil easily should not be allowed to sit out for more than one hour after defrosting. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.

Use caution when removing metal pans and stoneware after defrosting. They may become very warm, and you may need to use a potholder.

For more even defrosting, turn food over, separate and rearrange when prompted. Be sure large meats are completely defrosted before cooking. See the Defrosting Guide for additional comments.

When defrosted, food should be cool but softened in all areas. If still slightly icy, return to the oven very briefly, or let it stand a few minutes.

How to Set the Oven for Defrost

1 Place food in oven.
2 Select FEATURE from main menu.
3 Select DEFROST.
4 Enter the defrost time in hours and/or minutes. Reference the chart on the next page.
5 Select START.

NOTE: Food may be checked at any time by opening the door. The microwave and convection fan will turn off and the defrost time countdown will stop while the door is open. They will resume when the door is closed.

6 Check food and turn over when prompted. Add more time if desired.

After the defrost time has ended, the oven will prompt the user to add "MORE

TIME." Add additional time by selecting MORE TIME. Enter time in minutes.

Press CLEAR/OFF pad if food has finished defrosting.

To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on.

Aluminum Foil

Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of the oven.

Never entirely cover a rack with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking.

A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch a spillover by placing it on a lower rack several inches below the food.

Preheating and Pan Placement for Baking

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature. Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.

Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible. Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the oven. If you need to use two racks, use CONV MULTI mode described in Using the convection modes section for best results, placing food on racks A and D (B and E for lower oven on double oven models).

NOTE: On double wall ovens, the rack design is unique for the upper Trivection™ oven. Due to this, the upper oven racks and the lower oven racks are not interchangeable.

How to Set the Oven for Broiling

Leave the door open to the broil stop position. The door stays open by itself, yet the proper temperature is maintained in the oven.

NOTE: Food can be broiled with the door open or closed. However, if the door is closed, the food may not brown as well because the oven heating element will cycle on and off.

1 Select BROIL.
2 Select HI for high broil or LO for low broil. LO is used to broil thicker cuts of meat without over-browning them.
3 Select START. We recommend preheating for 5 minutes with the door closed whether you broil food with the door open or closed.

4 Place the meat or fish on a broiler grid in a broiler pan designed for broiling.
5 Follow suggested rack positions in the Broiling Guide.

The size, weight, thickness, starting temperature and your preference of doneness will affect broiling times. This guide is based on meats at refrigerator temperature.

6 When broiling is finished, press the CLEAR/OFF pad.

NOTE: The oven will automatically turn off after 3 hours of continuous broil.

Using the convection modes.

GE Profile JT980WHWW - Using the convection modes. - 1

natural_image Symmetrical decorative knot pattern with no text or symbols

Convection Fan

In a convection oven, a fan circulates hot air over, under and around the food.

This circulating hot air is evenly distributed throughout the oven cavity. As a result, foods are evenly cooked and browned—often in less time with convection heat.

NOTE: The convection fan may cycle on and off and change direction while cooking to best distribute hot air in the oven. The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened.

DO NOT leave the door open for long periods of time while using convection cooking or you may shorten the life of the convection heating element.

1-Rack Convection Baking

The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food using the bake and broil elements.

When convection baking with only 1 rack, use CONV 1 RACK and for best results place the rack on shelf B or C in the Trivection™ oven, or shelf C or D in the lower oven on double oven models, at the center of the oven. Cook times may decrease, so food should be checked earlier than package directions to make sure that it does not overcook.

Ideal for cooking large casseroles and lasagna with good results.

GE Profile JT980WHWW - 1-Rack Convection Baking - 1

natural_image Technical line drawing of a multi-layered electrical heating element grid with labeled components (A, C, E), no readable text or symbols beyond labels.

Multi-rack position, Trivection™ Oven.

Multi-Rack Convection Baking

Because heated air is circulated evenly throughout the oven, foods can be baked with excellent results using multiple racks.

The amount of time required for multi-rack baking may increase slightly for some foods, but overall time is saved because two to three times as much food is cooked at once. Cookies, muffins, biscuits and other quick breads give good results with multi-rack baking.

To cook food on more than one rack in convection bake, use CONV MULTI.

Lower Oven

When baking on 3 racks, place one rack in the second (B) position, one in the fourth (D) position and one in the 6th (F) position.

NOTE: On double wall ovens, the rack design is unique for the upper Trivection™ oven. Due to this, the upper oven racks and the lower oven racks are not interchangeable.

Trivection™ Oven

When baking on 3 racks, place one rack in the first (A) position, one in the third (C) position and one in the 5th (E) position.

Auto Recipe™ Conversion

When convection baking, the Auto Recipe ^™ Conversion feature automatically reduces the set traditional baking temperature by the recommended 25°F. See Auto Recipe ^™ Conversion in the Settings section.

■ Use pan size recommended.

Some package instructions for frozen casseroles or main dishes have been developed using commercial convection ovens. For best results in this oven, preheat the oven and use the traditional temperature on the package.

Convection Roast

Good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered. The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food. Meat and poultry are browned on all sides as if they were cooked on a rotisserie. The heated air seals in juices quickly for a moist and tender product while, at the same time, creating a rich golden brown exterior.

When you are convection roasting, it is important that you use a broiler pan and grid designed for broiling for best convection roasting results. The pan is used to catch grease spills and the grid is used to prevent grease spatters.

When baking cookies, you will get the best results if you use a flat cookie sheet instead of a pan with low sides.

Cookware for Convection Cooking

Before using your convection oven, check to see if your cookware leaves room for air circulation in the oven. If you are baking with several pans, leave space between them. Also, be sure the pans do not touch each other or the walls of the oven.

Paper and Plastic

Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers that are recommended for use in regular ovens can be used for convection baking, but shouldn't be used at temperatures higher than the temperature recommendation of the cookware manufacturer.

Metal and Glass

Any type of cookware will work in your convection oven. However, metal pans heat the fastest and are recommended for convection baking.

■Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.

For recipes like oven-baked chicken, use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot circulate well around food in a pan with high sides.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

Food should be kept hot in its cooking container or transferred to a heat-safe serving dish.

For moist foods, cover them with an oven-safe lid or aluminum foil.
■Fried or crisp foods do not need to be covered, but can become too dry if warmed for too long.
■ Repeated opening of the door allows the hot air to escape and the food to cool.
- Allow extra time for the temperature inside the oven to stabilize after adding items.
■With large loads it may be necessary to cover some of the cooked food items.
■ Remove serving spoons, etc., before placing containers in the oven.
- Do not use plastic containers, lids or plastic wrap.

CAUTION: Plastic containers, lids or plastic wrap will melt if placed in the oven. Melted plastic may not be removable and is not covered under your warranty.

Adjust the oven temperature—Do it yourself!

You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the temperature yourself.

Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven. These thermometers may vary 20–40 degrees.

NOTE: This adjustment will only affect baking and roasting temperatures; it does not affect broiling, convection, speedcooking or self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.

To Adjust the Temperature

1 Select SETTINGS, then MORE, then MORE, then ± temp. Select upper or lower oven for double oven models.

The current temperature adjustment will appear in the time and temperature display.

2 Select INCREASE (cook hotter) or DECREASE (cook cooler) to change cooking temperature adjustment in 1° increments. Continue until desired number is displayed.

The oven temperature can be adjusted up to (+) 35^ F hotter or (-) 35^ F cooler.

3 When you have made the adjustment, select HOME to go back to the main display. Use your oven as you would normally.

The type of margarine will affect baking performance!

Most recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher-fat product.

Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low-fat spreads. The lower the fat content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.

Federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low-fat spreads, on the other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high-moisture content of these spreads affect the texture and flavor of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.

Do not rub or clean the door gasket—it has an extremely low resistance to abrasion.
If you notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or damaged in any way or if it has become displaced on the door, you should have it replaced.

Cleaning the Oven Door

To clean the inside of the door:

Because the area inside the gasket is cleaned during the self-clean cycle, you do not need to clean this by hand.
The area outside the gasket and the door liner can be cleaned with a soap-filled or plastic scouring pad, hot water and detergent. Rinse well with a vinegar and water solution.

To clean the outside of the door:

Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides and front of the oven door. Rinse well. You may also use a glass cleaner to clean the glass on the outside of the door. Do not let water drip into the vent openings.

If any stain on the door vent trim is persistent, use a soft abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results.
■ Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting materials containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. When surface is cool, clean and rinse.
- Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning powders or harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.

Oven Racks

All oven racks may be cleaned by hand with an abrasive cleaner or steel wool. After cleaning, rinse the racks with clean water and dry with a clean cloth. Gray porcelain-coated oven racks may remain in the oven during the self-cleaning cycle without being damaged. The shiny, silver-colored oven racks may remain in the oven during the self-cleaning cycle, but they will lose their luster and become hard to slide.

It will be necessary to grease all oven rack side edges with a light coating of vegetable oil after cleaning them by hand or in the oven. This will help maintain the ease of sliding the racks in and out of the oven.

NOTE: On double wall ovens, the rack design is unique for the upper Trivection™ oven. Due to this, the upper oven racks and the lower oven racks are not interchangeable.

Oven Heating Elements

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

To clean the area below the bake element, gently lift the element and clean with warm, soapy water.
