How to Use Self-Cleaning Jenn-Air Oven

Jenn-Air self-cleaning ovens have a special setting that allows you to clean the oven without chemicals or scrubbing. The oven heats to a temperature higher than used for cooking. The intense heat burns food spills and other residue off oven's inner surfaces.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Cleaning cloth or sponge
  • Hot water
  • Detergent
  • Scouring pads
  1. Step 1

    Remove the broiler pan and any utensils to prevent them from being damaged. Take out the oven racks, since the high heat might discolor them.

  2. Step 2

    Wet a cleaning cloth or sponge with hot water and detergent. Wash off splatters or spills from areas that won't be affected by the cleaning process, including the oven door liner and the oven's front frame. Wipe up any excess grease or spills on the oven floor.

  3. Step 3

    Close the oven door and press the "clean" pad on the unit's touch pad.

  4. Step 4

    Enter the amount of cleaning time. For example, two hours is appropriate for a lightly soiled oven, three for average and four for heavily soiled. Cleaning should start immediately. The oven will remain locked during the cycle.

  5. Step 5

    To delay cleaning, hit the "stop time" pad and enter the desired stop time. For example, if it is 9 p.m. and you want the oven to clean for three hours starting at 10 p.m., key in the numbers 1,0,0.

  6. Step 6

    While the cleaning function operates, use the scouring pads to wash the oven racks and other utensils. Once the cycle ends and the oven unlocks and cools, you can use a damp cloth to pick up any loose or burnt debris inside. Replace the racks, broiler pan and utensils.

Tips & Warnings
  • Oven models vary. Consult your owner's manual for complete instructions.
  • If you want to cancel the cleaning function, touch the "cancel off" pad.
  • The venting system will handle most of the smoke and odor from the cleaning process.
  • Do not use commercial oven cleaners.
