GE JGBP79 Range User Manual


 
Using the self-cleaning oven.
If your model has a door latch, never force the latch handle. Forcing the handle will damage the door lock mechanism.
Before a Clean Cycle
The range must be completely cool in order to set
the self-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 broiler pan, broiler grid, all
cookware and any aluminum foil from the
oven—they cannot withstand the high
cleaning temperatures.
NOTE: Take the shelves out of the oven before you
begin the self-clean cycle.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners or
oven protectors in or near the self-cleaning
oven. A combination of any of these
products plus the high clean cycle
temperatures may damage the porcelain
finish of the oven.
Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners.
Clean the top, sides and outside of the
oven door with soap and water.
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 oven.
Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven
bottom.
How to Set the Oven for Cleaning
Latch the door.
Press the
SELF CLEAN
pad.
Press the
+

or number pads until
the desired Clean Time is displayed.
The Clean Time is normally 4 hours. You can change
the Clean Time to any time between 3 and 5 hours,
depending on the amount of soil in your oven.
Press the
START
pad.
The self-clean cycle will automatically begin
after
CLEAN
is displayed and the word
ON
appears in the display.
When the
LOCKED DOOR
light is off,
slide the latch handle to the left as far
as it will go and open the door. If your
range does not have a latch, the door
will unlock automatically.
How to Delay the Start of Cleaning
Latch the door.
Press the
SELF CLEAN

Press the
+
or
or number pads to set

The Clean Time is preset for 4 hours. You can change
the Clean Time to any time between 3 and 5 hours,

After a Clean Cycle
You may notice some white ash in the oven.
Wipe it up with a damp cloth after the oven
cools.
If white spots remain, remove them with a soap-
filled steel wool pad and rinse thoroughly with a
vinegar and water mixture.
These deposits are usually a salt residue that
cannot be removed by the clean cycle.
If the oven is not clean after one clean cycle,
repeat the cycle.
You cannot set the oven for cooking until
the oven is cool enough for the door to
be unlatched.
While the oven is self-cleaning, you can
press the
CLOCK
pad to display the time
of day. To return to the clean countdown,
press the
COOKING TIME
pad.
If the shelves become hard to slide, wipe
the shelf supports with cooking oil.
