Using the self-cleaning oven.
www.GEAppliances.com
The oven door must be closed and all controls set correctly for the cycle to work properly.
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, probe, all cookware and any
aluminum foil from the oven.
The oven shelves and convection roasting
rack 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.

the door.
The oven shuts off automatically when
the clean cycle is complete.
