Using The Self-Cleaning Oven - GE JMP31CLCC Owner's Manual

Using the self-cleaning oven.

The oven door must be closed and all controls must be set correctly for the cycle to work properly.
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven
bottom. (appearance may vary)
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 shelves, broiler pan, broiler grid,
all cookware and any aluminum foil from
the oven.
The shiny, silver-colored oven shelves
(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 as Soft Scrub
well with clean water and dry.
How to Set the Oven for Cleaning
Press the SELF CLEAN pad.
Using the INCREASE or DECREASE
pads, 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.
Press the START pad.
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.

will show the clean time remaining. It will
not be possible to open the oven door

The oven shuts off automatically when
the clean cycle is complete.
When the LOCKED DOOR light is off, open
the door.
