Not usually recommended, although the owner's manual says they CAN be. The internal oven temperatures often exceed 700 degress F during the self clean cycle and lasts over 4 hours. Temperatures of this extreme will not only discolor the oven racks, but may also cause them to warp and bend, which makes them harder to slide in and out of the oven. If the model number is correct, this information can be found on page 25 of your owner's manual. If you no longer have an owner's manual, you can obtain a FREE copy at managemylife.com. Just type in your model number under their "Manuals" link. For your convenience, here is a direct link:

If you have any questions, please post back and let me know. I hope this helps you.

It depends on the rack type. Do not leave the metal racks inside the oven during a self-clean cycle. They can be warped at the temperature of the cleaning cycle. If your oven has the porcelain-coated shelves, they can stay in the oven.

Clean large spills by hand with a non-abrasive cleanser before starting the self-clean cycle.

The manual for the JGBP90MEHBC and the JGBP90MEBBC is available from GE: http://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-85131.PDF .

The manual for the older JGBP90MEA is available here: http://genet.geappliances.com/DocSearch/Dispatcher?REQUEST=ShowPDF&FileName=49-80036.PDF .

I hope this helps.

Electrolux icon duel fuel range racks red light wont stop flashing even though I removed all racks, so oven will not start self clean cycle

Good Morning Andrea,

I see that you are having trouble with your Electrolux range, model# E30DF74GPS, and getting it to go into the self-clean cycle. I would suggest giving it a hard reset. First make sure the racks are in. Next, cut the power at the circuit breaker and leave it off for 2-3 minutes. After the time has elapsed cut the power back on. Start the self-clean cycle with the racks inside the oven. We're trying to get the oven to recognize the racks are inside. Once it states the racks are in, cancel out and take the racks out. Now, with the racks out start the self-clean cycle again. If you are still receiving the red light blinking, I suggest contacting the manufacturer or your local authorized technician. Hope this has been helpful.

-Best Regards-

When cleaning the oven, are you suppose to leave the racks inside?

If your racks were shiny, no. They have come out with porcelain coated racks that you can leave in, but that was just in the last couple of years.

Cleaning

usually racks are not left in because the high heat generated causes the chrome finish to become dull and darker. If you don't care what the racks look like I would say go for it.

the reason they tell you not to do that is so the racks do not warp. I wouldn't do it. I did once accidently leave the racks in and they were fine that one time but I have never done it again or left any thing in. The oven gets up to a high heat and anything in it will retain that heat.

Oven racks

Hello bargarmar
Welcome

You said, Your Jen-Air stove's oven racks keep falling after the heats been on. This is scary and unsafe. Your gas range is only 2 years old.

This may be caused by the racks being left inside the range when using the self cleaning system. Which can cause the racks to become warped and or discolored.
If they are warped they may not sit even in the oven while baking and also move or change their shape
form the heat every time you use the warped racks in the oven.

If you leave the oven light on before you start the oven and watch the racks as they warm up with weight on them you will see if this is the case.
Then you will want to replace them.
Let me know what happens.

Self cleaning oven instructions

Self cleans generally do a good ****on small messes in 2 -2.5 hours. Larger messes take 3. Leaving the racks in is okay...but they will likely lose their shiny appearance. Manuals are on the GE website.
