Using the self-cleaning oven.
ge.com
The oven door must be closed and all controls must be 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 any broiler pan, broiler grid,
probe, all cookware and any aluminum
foil from the oven.
The oven racks may remain in the oven
during the self-cleaning cycle without
being damaged.
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.
■ On double oven models, you can
set a clean cycle in both ovens at the
same time. The last oven set will
automatically delay its start until the
end of the first oven’s clean cycle.
■ On double oven models, you can
use timed baking in one oven and
self-clean the other at the same time.
CAUTION: Never place cooking utensils or any
other items on the oven floor. There is a heating
element beneath the oven floor. Placing items on
the oven floor may cause the oven to overheat,
resulting in damage to the oven and risk of
damage or fire to cabinets.
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven
bottom. (appearance may vary)
How to Set the Oven for Cleaning
Press the Self Clean Std/Low pad
once for a 4-hour clean time or
twice for a 3-hour clean time.
A 3-hour self-clean time is
recommended for use when
cleaning small, contained spills. A
self-clean time of 4 hours or longer
is recommended for a dirtier oven.
If a time other than 4 hours or
3 hours is needed, use the number
pads and enter the desired clean
time.
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 light
goes off.
When the LOCKED light goes off, you will
be able to open the door.
■ The words LOCKED 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
light goes off indicating the oven has
cooled below the locking temperature,
you will be able to open the door.
