Door Latch; Instructions; Using The Self-Cleaning Oven - GE JGRP17 Owner's Manual

Using the self-cleaning oven.

The oven door must be closed and all controls set correctly for the cycle to work properly.
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven
bottom.
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 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 oven 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
Touch the SELF CLEAN pad.
Touch the HOUR and MIN + or - pads
to 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.
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.
How to Delay the Start of Cleaning
Delay Start is setting the oven to start the
clean cycle automatically at a later time than
the present time of day.
NOTE: Before beginning, make sure the
oven clock shows the correct time of day.
Touch the SELF CLEAN pad.
Touch the HOUR and MIN + or - pads
to enter the desired clean time.
Touch the DELAY START pad. The
earliest start time you can set will
appear in the display.
Touch the HOUR and MIN + or - pads
to enter the time of day you want the
clean cycle to start.
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 oven.
Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
When the LOCKED DOOR light is off, open
the door.
The oven shuts off automatically when the
clean cycle is complete.
NOTES:
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.
Touch the START pad.
The door locks automatically. The
display will show the start time. 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.
NOTE:
You can find out when the clean cycle will
start by touching the DELAY START pad.
