GE JRP 28 - Manual (Page 16)

Using the self-cleaning oven.
(This feature is not available for the lower oven.)
The oven door must be closed and all controls must be set correctly for the cycle to work properly.
Before a Clean Cycle
The oven must be cool in order to set the
self-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 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.
Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners.
Clean the top, sides and outside of the
oven door with soap and water.
Make sure the oven lightbulb cover
(on some models) 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.
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven
bottom. (appearance may vary)
How to Set the Oven for Cleaning
Touch the SELF CLEAN pad.
Using the + or – pad, 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 light
goes off.
When the LOCKED light is off, open
the door.
■
The word LOCK 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 light
goes off indicating the oven has cooled
below the locking temperature, open
the door.
