how to operate a self cleaning oven?

Question

i have a Jennair oven and its self cleaning. how do i get it to work?

Answer 1

The oven knob that sets temperature for baking should turn completely around past the broil feature to Clean. It will lock your oven door to prevent it from being opened and then begin to clean. The temperature gets very hot, hot enough to turn all your spilled food into ash. It will run for a couple of hours and then beging to cool down. When it is finally cool then it will unlock the door so you can open it. You take some wet papertowels and wipe out the ash and you are good to go.

A neat trick I learned is that if you have a charcoal grill you cook on from time to time, put the grill top in when you clean the oven and it gets it perfectly clean as well with no scrubbing.

Good Luck

Answer 2

start by taking out the oven racks, then shut the door. On the control panel is a button which reads self clean oven or something like that. Push the button then wait a few seconds and the start button should begin flashing. Push that and the oven door will automatically lock. On the clock panel it will read 3 or 4 hours, that means you can't use the oven for that long. After the oven is clean, the oven will cut off. You can't open the door for a few minutes because the heat inside is like 500 degrees. When the ovens cool there will be a small pile of charred stuff in the bottom. Wipe it out and put the racks back in and you're good to go.
good luck

Answer 3

First you will have to remove the racks inside the oven.

Then there should be a locking lever for the door. You should see a handle for that usually at the top of the oven door.

Then set either a dial or push the button to clean the oven.

This will automatically run for a few hours and oven temperatures can exceed 500 degrees on some models. So you need to be careful, make sure everything is cleared from the stovetop surface.

Answer 4

Take all pans out of the oven.

Remove any thing on top of the stove that may melt.

Lock the oven door in the closed position.

Set the knob or keypad to self-clean and start the process.

IMPORTANT:::This process has temperatures that exceed 500 degrees. Do not use the stove or touch the stove or oven until the entire process has ended.

There should be some type of notification when this is finished.

Answer 5

#1 read the directions, as i'm sure everyone else will say. Spray it with the oven cleaner, close the door, set it on self cleaning, and it will work. I think your is digital, so all you have to do is set it to the "self clean". It may not come on right at first while you watch it. It will have the light on the left that shows it is on even though you can't feel or see it. Just leave it alone. It will do its job.

Answer 6

There should be a lock for the door. Lock that and turn the nob to clean. The oven gets EXTREMELY hot so dont have anything on or near it. It literally bakes away everything inside. I forget how long it takes but i remember it being awhile. Stay home while its doing its thing just in case something goes wrong. Hope this helps

Answer 7

If the oven has the self cleaning button on the oven, then you just push the button, and don't open the oven door. You might want to open some windows too becuase your house can get really smoky, or smelly too.

Answer 9

Get your instruction book out that came with your stove---unless we had the EXACT same model you have, no one on yahoo can tell you exactly how to lock the door and set the timing for the cleaning.......find your book and if you lost it, call the store you got it from and ask them to send you another book or read you the instructions. It's not hard, but every stove is different....don't just "wing it" because you can ruin your stove.

Answer 10

Its self cleaning, don't spray it with anything! If in doubt go on line to the manufactures website and get the detailed instructions.
