The self-cleaning cycle on a General Electric (GE) oven employs high temperatures to burn off food residue and spills inside the oven cavity. The process eliminates the need for manual scrubbing and harsh chemical cleaners. Successfully initiating and completing this function requires understanding the oven’s controls and adhering to safety precautions.
Implementing this feature offers the convenience of automated oven maintenance. It reduces the physical effort associated with cleaning, and it helps maintain the oven’s performance and longevity. Historically, oven cleaning involved significant manual labor and potentially hazardous chemicals; the self-clean function provides a safer and more efficient alternative.
