Self-Cleaning Ovens & More

Ever wonder, “How does a self-cleaning oven work?” A high-heat, high-power cycle heats the spilled food and residue until it is like ash. Using this cycle, it’s easy to remove even baked-on food from your oven interior, so you don’t need to scrub it or use harsh chemical sprays. GE and GE Profile offer a variety of ranges and wall ovens with self-cleaning cycles to help you keep your oven clean and ready to bake.

Another handy cleaning feature offered in some GE ranges is the EasyWash™ Oven Tray. The enameled tray sits in the bottom of your oven to catch crumbs and spills. Even better, it’s easy to remove and wash in your kitchen sink or it fits in GE Appliances dishwashers to clean off bigger, baked-on spills.

Keep Your Dishwasher Clean

Though many people often forget to clean inside the machine that cleans your dishes, it’s an important chore that should be done regularly. First, check to see if your dishwasher has a filter in the bottom that can be removed. (Find your Use and Care Manual to see if yours does by searching by model number here.) If it does, you can follow these detailed tips on, how to clean your filter so your dishwasher continues to clean efficiently. For additional tips on cleaning your dishwasher read our in-depth article.

To have a fresher-smelling dishwasher every day, GE Profile offers the UltraFresh System™ Dishwasher. This dishwasher features a special vent system that circulates fresh air to remove water and helps prevent the growth of odor-causing bacteria. That means your dishwasher smells fresh and clean each time you open the door.

Tips for a Fresh Fridge

To keep your refrigerator smelling fresh and looking clean, it’s a good idea to go through food containers and other items and throw away old or expired ones. Remove the drawers and shelves and wash them in warm, soapy water, and then dry them thoroughly before replacing them. Organize your food as you put it back on the shelves. Put taller items toward the back so you can easily see everything. Place items you use most closer to the front or in your door-in-door area for easy access. And if your refrigerator has the handy GE Profile Dual-Dispense Autofill Pitcher, you can remove the pitcher and wash it in your dishwasher.
