Using the Self-Cleaning Oven

Wall Oven

Before a clean cycle

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

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, probe, all cookware and any aluminum foil from the oven.

Gray porcelain-coated oven racks (including the offset rack) may remain in the oven during the self-cleaning cycle without being damaged. The nickel-plated oven racks (including the offset rack) may remain in the oven during the self- cleaning cycle, but they will darken 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.)

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.

How to set the oven for cleaning

1Press 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.

2If 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.

3Press 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 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.

ZEK938, ZET938, ZEK958, ZET958 specifications

The GE Monogram ZET958, ZEK958, ZET938, and ZEK938 are premium wall ovens designed to elevate culinary experiences in modern kitchens. With a focus on innovation, these models combine sophisticated design with advanced technology to deliver exceptional cooking performance.

One of the standout features of the GE Monogram wall ovens is their European-inspired design, which offers a sleek and professional appearance. The stainless steel finish not only enhances the aesthetic of any kitchen but also ensures durability and ease of cleaning. The ergonomic controls are strategically positioned for user convenience, allowing easy access to all cooking functions.

In terms of cooking capabilities, these wall ovens are equipped with a powerful convection system. This technology circulates heated air throughout the oven, ensuring that food cooks evenly and efficiently, eliminating hot spots. This results in perfectly baked goods and evenly roasted meats every time.

The ovens also feature multiple cooking modes, including traditional bake, roast, broil, and the advanced steam baking option. A steam baking function introduces moisture into the oven during the baking process, which helps to create a beautifully crisp exterior while keeping the interior moist. This is particularly beneficial for artisan bread, pastries, and even meats.

Another significant characteristic of the GE Monogram series is the integration of smart technology. With Wi-Fi connectivity, users can monitor and control their ovens remotely via a smartphone app. This functionality allows chefs to preheat their ovens, adjust cooking settings, or receive notifications when their food is ready, making it easier to multitask in today's fast-paced environment.

Furthermore, these models come with a self-cleaning feature that minimizes user maintenance. The high-temperature cleaning cycle vaporizes food residue, leaving the oven clean without the need for scrubbing.

Safety is also a priority in these wall ovens, featuring advanced sensors that detect when the oven is overheated and automatically shut it down to prevent accidents.

In summary, the GE Monogram ZET958, ZEK958, ZET938, and ZEK938 wall ovens embody luxury and functionality. With their combination of powerful convection cooking, steam baking, smart technology, and elegant design, these ovens meet the needs of both amateur cooks and seasoned chefs, making them a valuable addition to any kitchen.
