The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with GE Consumer & Industrial, announced a voluntary recall of the JT980 -- Lower oven only. The extreme heat used in the self-clean cycle can escape, if the wall oven door is removed and incorrectly re-attached by the installer or the consumer. This can pose a fire and burn hazard to consumers. Consumers should immediately inspect the oven to make sure they do not have an incorrectly re-attached wall oven door, which will not open into the flat position. If the wall oven door is incorrectly re-attached, consumers should not use the self-clean cycle and call GE for a free repair. Consumers can continue to use normal baking or broiling function in the oven until the oven is repaired.

For additional information, contact GE toll-free at (888) 569-1588 between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, and between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Saturday ET, or visit the firm’s Web site at www.GEAppliances.com.

The ideal ovens for busy cooks trying to please a crowd, the General Electric Profile 30-Inch Double Oven with Trivection Technology JT980SHSS bake foods up to five times faster than in conventional ovens.

This unit combines thermal, convection, and microwave energies to their best advantages to save in baking time. Time savings can also be expected for roasting and broiling. In fact, many foods roast or broil in about 25 percent less time than in conventional ovens.

Both ovens can handle large quantities of food thanks to the three racks that are included in each one. Easy to use, this oven automatically converts your old recipes to the new times and temperatures. And, if you really don't want to experiment, conventional heat or microwave energy can be used to ensure old favorites turn out exactly as expected. Variable temperature broil ensures that you have maximum control and that meat, chicken, and fish are broiled just to your liking.

Easy to care for, both ovens offer a variable-time self-cleaning feature with a delay setting. Designed for built-in installation, this model is a functional and beautiful companion to a commercial-style cooktop.

Offered in black, white, or stainless-steel finishes, the General Electric Profile JT980SHSS makes a great choice for those who live to cook.
