Using the self-cleaning oven.
(on some models)
www.GEAppliances.ca
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, all
cookware and any aluminum foil from
the oven.
The oven racks can be self-cleaned, but
they will darken, lose their luster and
become hard to slide.
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
(on some models) 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.
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
Clean
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 (on some models) or the
Hour
and
Min +
or
–
pads (on some
models) 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 word
LOCK
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
Reset/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.
