Using the self-cleaning oven. GEAppliances.com
The oven door must be closed and all controls must be set correctly for the cycle to work properly.
CAUTION:
Never place cooking utensils, baking stones, foil, or any other items on the oven floor. Even items
rated for high temperature may permanently adhere to oven bottom or cause heat damage to the oven, flooring, or items
in storage drawers.
Before a Clean Cycle
We recommend venting your kitchen with an
open window or using a ventilation fan or hood
during the first self-clean cycle.
Remove racks, broiler pan, broiler grid, all
cookware and any aluminum foil from the
oven.
The shiny, silver-colored oven racks (on some
models) can be self-cleaned, but they will
darken, lose their luster and become hard to
slide.
Soil on the front frame of the range and outside
the gasket on the door will need to be cleaned
by hand. Clean these areas with hot water,
soap-filled steel-wool pads or cleansers such as
Soft Scrub
®.
. Rinse well with clean water and dry.
Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass material
of the oven door gasket cannot withstand
abrasion. It is essential for the gasket to remain
intact. If you notice it becoming worn or frayed,
replace it.
Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the oven
bottom.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place
and the oven light is off.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is
extremely sensitive to the fumes given off
during the self-cleaning cycle of any range.
Move birds to another well ventilated room.
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven
bottom. (appearance may vary)
How to Set the Oven for Cleaning
Press the SELF CLEAN pad.
Using the INCREASE or DECREASE pads,
enter the desired clean time, if a time
other than 4 hours is needed.
Clean cycle time is normally 4 hours. You can
change the clean time to any time between
3 hours and 5 hours, depending on how dirty
your oven is.
Press the START pad.
The door locks automatically. The display
will show the clean time remaining. It will not
be possible to open the oven door until the
temperature drops below the lock temperature
and the LOCKED DOOR light goes off.
The oven shuts off automatically when the
clean cycle is complete.
When the LOCKED DOOR light is off, open the
door.
The words LOCK DOOR will flash and the
oven control will signal if you set the clean
cycle and forget to close the oven door.
To stop a clean cycle, press the CLEAR/OFF
pad. When the LOCKED DOOR light goes
off indicating the oven has cooled below the
locking temperature, open the door.
