GE JT980 Using the self-cleaning oven, Instructions, Troubleshooting Tips Care and Cleaning

Instructions

Using the self-cleaning oven.

The oven door must be closed and all controls must be set correctly for the cycle to work properly.

Operating Instructions Safety

Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom. (appearance may vary)

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 broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware and any aluminum foil from the oven.

The oven racks and convection roasting rack 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 is in place and the oven light is off.

NOTE: See Cleaning the Oven Door in the Care and Cleaning section for instructions on how to clean the inner door outside the gasket. This area is not cleaned during the self-clean cycle.

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. However, 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.
