Self-Cleaning - GE JBP26 Owner's Manual

Using the self-cleaning oven.
Never force the latch handle. Forcing the handle will damage the door lock mechanism.
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven
bottom.

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 shelves, 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.
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 steel-wool pads
or cleansers such as Soft Scrub® . Rinse
well with clean water and dry.
How to Set the Oven for Cleaning
Latch the door.
Turn the Oven Temperature knob
to CLEAN.
Clean cycle time is normally 4 hours. You
can change the clean time to between 3
hours and 5 hours, 59 minutes by using
the HOUR and MIN. pads.
When the CLEAN light flashes, slide the
latch handle to the left, and turn the
Oven Temperature knob to OFF.
To stop a clean cycle, turn the Oven
Temperature knob to OFF. Wait until the
oven has cooled and unlatch the door.
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.
