Using the self-cleaning lower 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 the broiler pan, broiler grid, all
cookware and any aluminum foil from
the oven.
The oven shelves 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.
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven
bottom.
How to Set the Oven for Cleaning
Press the SELFCLEAN pad.
Using the number pads, enter the
desired clean time, if a time other
than 4 hours is needed.
Clean cycle time is normally 4 hours. 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

door.
■The word LOCKED or LOCKED DOOR will
flash and the oven control will signal if

close the oven door.
■To stop a clean cycle, press the
CLEAR/OFF pad. When the LOCKED or
LOCKED DOOR light goes off, indicating

temperature, you will be able to open
the door.
