GE JRS06 - Manual (Page 14)

Using the self-cleaning oven.
(on some models)
(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 broiler pan, broiler grid,
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. 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.

How to Delay the Start of Cleaning
Touch the SELF CLEAN pad.
Using the + or – pad, enter the
desired clean time.
Touch the DELAY START pad.
Using the + or – pad, enter the time
of day you want the clean cycle to
start.
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 light
goes off.
When the LOCKED light is off, open
the door.
After a Clean Cycle
You may notice some white ash in the
oven. Wipe it up with a damp cloth after
the oven cools.
If white spots remain, remove them with a
soap-filled scouring pad and rinse thoroughly with
a vinegar and water mixture.
These deposits are usually a salt
residue that cannot be removed by
the clean cycle. If the oven is not clean after one clean
cycle, repeat the cycle.
■
You cannot set the oven for cooking
until the oven is cool enough for the
door to unlock.
■
If the racks become hard to
slide, wipe the rack supports with
cooking oil.
