GE Hotpoint Stove Manual Self Cleaning Instructions
The General Electric HotPoint stove is available in gas or electric models and can be purchased as a slide-in model or freestanding unit. The HotPoint range offers an automatic self-cleaning feature that cleans the oven and removes excess spills, dirt and debris from the unit. Manually cleaning the range is possible as well with some basic cleaning supplies. Always manually clean the stove when the oven is cool and the power is off. Restore power to the range before using the "Self Clean" feature on the oven. Does this Spark an idea?
