Using the self-cleaning oven. www.GEAppliances.com
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 the shelves, broiler pan, broiler
grid, all cookware and any aluminum foil
from the oven.
NOTE: Take the shelves out of the oven
before you begin the self-clean cycle or
they may discolor.
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.
How to Set the Oven for Cleaning
Follow the directions in the Before a
Clean Cycle section.
Latch the door.
NOTE: Never force the latch. If the oven is
too hot, you will not be able to slide the
latch. Allow the oven to cool.
Touch the SELF CLEAN pad.
Touch the + or – pads until the
desired Clean Time is displayed.
The Clean Time is normally 4 hours and 20
minutes. You can change the Clean Time to any
time between 3 and 5 hours, depending on the
amount of soil in your oven.
Touch the START/ON pad.
The self-clean cycle will automatically
begin after CLEAN is displayed and the
time countdown appears in the display.
While the oven is self-cleaning, you can
touch the CLOCK pad to display the time
of day. To return to the clean countdown,
touch the SELF CLEAN pad.
The oven shuts off automatically when
the clean cycle is complete, and 0:00 will
flash in the display.
Slide the latch handle to the left as
far as it will go and open the door.
Never force the latch handle. Forcing the handle will damage the door lock mechanism.
