0 -> In this video, we'll demonstrate how to
perform a self-clean cycle on your GE
4.41 -> Appliances oven. If you own a
self-cleaning oven,
11.25 -> do not use commercial oven cleaners, it
could damage the oven cavity and this
15.75 -> damage would not be covered under
warranty. Instead, follow these steps to
20.4 -> keep your oven clean. Before beginning a
self-clean cycle, vent your kitchen by
25.439 -> opening windows or turning a ventilation
fan on. Remove all cookware and cooking
30.57 -> devices including the meat probe. These
items cannot withstand the high cleaning
35.04 -> temperatures. Also remove any liners such as aluminum foil or silicone mats. Any
40.92 -> shiny oven racks should also be removed
but dark enameled racks are safe to
45.12 -> leave in the oven during a self-clean
cycle. If you are unsure what type of
48.93 -> racks you have, please refer to your use
and care manual. Turn the oven lights off
53.91 -> and ensure the light cover is in place
and wipe up any heavy spillovers. Use
59.1 -> hot water and a soapy cloth or scouring
pad to clean spills on the bottom of the
63.18 -> oven, front frame of the oven, outside of
the gasket or the door frame. Finally,
68.82 -> close the door. Now, you're ready to set
your oven for a self-clean. For most
74.22 -> models, you should simply select the self-clean button. For most ovens, the door
79.35 -> will automatically lock when the
self-clean cycle begins.
82.259 -> If the oven has a manual latch, engage
the latch with the door closed before
86.759 -> starting the self-clean cycle. Some
models may use dials to access the self-
91.72 -> clean function instead of buttons.
Regardless, once initiated, the self-clean
96.869 -> process is the same. You can adjust the
cleaning time between three to five
101.43 -> hours. To learn more on how to adjust the
self-clean time, refer to your use and
107.13 -> care manual. To avoid damage to the lock, do not attempt to open the oven door
112.17 -> while the oven is in self-clean. Keep in
mind that the oven is cleaning the
116.61 -> debris inside along with grease and
other cooking particles. It's normal for
121.469 -> your oven to give off smoke and odors as
it cleans. This is why it's very
125.61 -> important to vent the area. When the
self-clean is done, it could take up to
130.05 -> two more hours for the oven to cool down. Once the oven is cooled down, the door
135.26 -> will automatically unlock and the oven
could still be very warm to the touch.
139.359 -> For models with manual latches, you will
need to disengage the latch and open the
144.53 -> door. You may notice some white ash in
the oven. This is normal. You can easily
149.75 -> wipe up the ash with a damp cloth. For
