Self-Cleaning Oven - GE Coli Top Owner's Manual

Using the self-cleaning oven.
On models with a door latch, never force the latch handle. Forcing the handle will damage the door lock mechanism. The oven
door must be closed and all controls 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.

(on some models)
Before a Clean Cycle
Remove the shelves, broiler pan, broiler grid,
probe (on some models), all cookware and
any aluminum foil from the oven.
The oven shelves and convection roasting rack
(on some models)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 a 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.
How to Set the Oven for Cleaning
The oven door must be closed and all controls set
correctly for the cycle to work properly. On models
with a latch, move it into the locked position.
Touch the SELF CLEAN pad. On models
with a SELF CLEAN STD/LOW pad, press
once for a 4-hour clean time or twice for
a 3-hour clean time.
Using the number pads or the + or – pads
(depending on your model), enter the
desired clean time, if a time other than
4 hours is needed.
You can change the clean time to any time
between 3–5 hours, depending on how
dirty your oven is.
Touch the START pad.
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.
CAUTION:
(on some models) should never be cleaned in the

self-cleaning oven.

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.
(on models with pads only)
On models without a latch, 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.
I 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.
I 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,
unlatch the door (on some models) and open the door.
