GE P2B912 Using the self-cleaning oven.

27

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

Before a Clean Cycle

For the first self-clean cycle, we recommend

venting your kitchen with an open window or

using a ventilation fan or hood.

Remove any broiler pan, broiler grid, all

cookware and any aluminum foil from the

oven—they cannot withstand the high

cleaning temperatures.

NOTE:

■If your oven is equipped with oven

shelves, remove them before you begin

the self-clean cycle.

Soil on the front frame of the range and

outside the gasket on the door will need to

be cleaned by hand. Clean these areas with

hot water, soap-filled scouring pads or

cleansers such as Soft Scrub®

. Rinse well

with clean water and dry.

Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass

material of the oven door gasket cannot

withstand abrasion. It is essential for the

gasket to remain intact. If you notice it

becoming worn or frayed, replace it.

Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the oven

bottom.

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

range. Move birds to another well ventilated

room.

NOTE:Use caution when opening the oven

after the self-clean cycle has ended. The oven

may still be hot.

CAUTION: The unit should not be operated in

any mode with the bake element removed.

Wipe up heavy soil on the oven

bottom.

How to Set the Oven for Cleaning

Touch the Self Clean pad.

Using the number pads, enter the

desired clean time, if a time other than

5 hours is needed.

Clean cycle time is normally 5 hours.

You can change the clean time to any time

between 3 hours and 5 hours, depending on

how dirty your oven is.

Touch 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 DOOR

light goes off.

When the LOCKED DOOR light is off, open

the door.

The oven shuts off automatically when the

clean cycle is complete.

■The words LOCK DOOR 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, touch the Clear/Off

pad. When the LOCKED DOOR light goes

off, indicating the oven has cooled below

the locking temperature, open the door.
