Marked WARNING by the manufacturer Source: Important Safety Information: Self-Cleaning Oven Safety Instructions, p. 6
- Wipe grease and soil from the oven.
- Remove everything except enameled (dark color) racks. Take out shiny or silver racks, the meat probe and all cookware.
- Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place and the oven light is off.
- Close the door and make sure the cooktop is off.
If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean, turn the oven off and wait for the fire to go out. Do not force the door open. Introduction of fresh air at self-clean temperatures may lead to a burst of flame from the oven. Failure to follow this instruction may result in severe burns.

- Press the Self Clean pad. To change the default time, enter a time from 3:00 to 5:00 hours with the number pads, then press Start. To keep the default time, press Start right after the Self Clean pad.
- After the oven cools and the door unlocks, wipe the ash out of the oven.
- Clean soil on the front frame and outside the door gasket by hand. Leave the gasket alone.
Self Clean is cancelled within 15 seconds if the cooktop is turned on. For heavily soiled ovens, GE recommends the maximum 5-hour time. If the self-clean mode malfunctions, turn the oven off, disconnect the power supply and have it serviced by a qualified technician.
