How to Use a Self Cleaning Jenn-Air Oven

Clean the inside of your oven.

Jenn-Air is a top-of-the-line kitchen appliance company, producing a variety of different products including self-cleaning ovens. These ovens have the ability to clean the interior of the appliance by generating high levels of heat and burning off all material that has baked onto the roof or sides of the oven. Occasionally running the self-cleaning mode helps prevent unnatural build up and ensures your food cooks at the correct temperature and does not obtain any odors or flavors from past-cooked food.

Instructions

1. Remove all dishes, thermometers, baking racks or any other items from the inside of the Jenn-Air oven. The high temperature of the oven may destroy the material.

2. Turn on the oven by using the knob in the middle of the appliance and set it to "Self Clean." This automatically locks the oven, preventing anyone from opening it during the self-cleaning process.

3. Return to the oven after over an hour. The self clean mode runs about an hour. If the oven allows you to open the door it means the temperature has dropped below the temperature that is used to clean the oven; if it is still running hot it remains locked.

4. Allow the oven to cool completely before placing the cooking racks and other items back inside.

Tips & Warnings

• Do not leave your home while the Jenn-Air is self-cleaning. Due to the extremely high temperatures it is a fire hazard. Although if you keep all cloths and other flammable objects away from the oven you should be fine, it is best not to take any unnecessary risks.
