Using The Self-Cleaning Oven - GE PCGS910 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
We recommend venting your
kitchen with an open window or using a
ventilation fan or hood during the first
self-clean cycle.
Remove racks, broiler pan, broiler grid,
probe, all cookware and any aluminum
foil from the oven.
The shiny, silver-colored oven racks
(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 or plastic
scouring pads or cleansers such as Soft
Scrub . Rinse well with clean water
®
and dry.
How to Set the Upper Oven for Cleaning
On models with Gas Range Lock out
touch and hold the GAS RANGE
LOCKOUT pad for 3 seconds to turn
it off.
NOTE: The surface burners must be turned
off prior to the self-clean start time.
Touch the SELF CLEAN pad.
Using the number pads, enter the
desired clean time, if a time other
than 5 hours is needed.
Clean cycle time is normally 5 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 SELF CLEAN pad.
On models without a door 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.
The oven shuts off automatically when
the clean cycle is complete.

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.
When the LOCKED DOOR light is off,
slide the latch handle to the left as far
as it will go and open the door. If your
range does not have a latch, the door
will unlock automatically.
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 or forget to latch the door
on models with a latch.
To stop a clean cycle, touch the OFF
pad. When the LOCKED DOOR light goes
off, indicating the oven has cooled below
the locking temperature, unlatch the door
(on models with a latch) and open the door.
