GE JBP95, Use And Care & Installation Manual

Important Safety Instructions

• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable

materials accumulate in or near the range.

• For your safety, never use your appliance for

warming or heating the room.

• Keep the hood and grease filter clean to

maintain good venting and to avoid grease fires.

• Do not use water on grease fires.

Never pick up a flaming pan. 
Turn the controls off. Smother a

flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the 
pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie
sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher. 

Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by
covering it with baking soda or, if available, by
using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type
fire extinguisher.

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 surface units, 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 surface units, areas
nearby surface units or any interior area of the
oven; allow sufficient time for cooling, first.
Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop, 
areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening,
surfaces near the opening, crevices around the
oven door and metal trim parts above the door.
Remember: The inside surface of the oven may 
be hot when the door is opened.

• When cooking pork, follow the directions

exactly and always cook the meat to an internal
temperature of at least 170°F. This assures that, 
in the remote possibility that trichina may be
present in the meat, it will be killed and the meat
will be safe to eat.

Oven

• Stand away from the range when opening the

oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can
cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

• When using cooking or roasting bags in the

oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.

• Do not heat unopened food containers. 

Pressure could build up and the container could
burst, causing an injury.

• Keep the oven vent duct unobstructed.

• Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

• Place the oven shelf in the desired position

while the oven is cool. If shelves must be 
handled when hot, do not let pot holder contact
the heating elements.

• Pulling out the 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.

• Do not use your oven to dry newspapers. 

If overheated, they can catch on fire.

• Do not use 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.

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.

• Clean only parts listed in this Use and 

Care Guide.

• Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the 

broiler pan, grid and 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.
