Hi,
Before you go working too hard to get you oven to go into the self clean mode(self destruct)....check out this tip...
Self Cleaning Oven Problem

" Wish I had read this first. I never would have used the self cleaning option. Thanks for the info!!
SOURCE: Self clean oven
The heating during the self-clean cycle is controlled by temperature sensors, likely even two, so that the door locks once a lower temp. is reached and the second to allow the temp. to rise to the point of catalysation.
The sensors are not absolute nor immune to failure so the desired temperature may not be reached before the sensor and circuitry thinks it's hot enough.
The only real way to check this is via a probe inserted into the oven to monitor the level it reaches.
While I have the needed gear, this is not something everyone has at home and even appliance repair people don't have a frequent need for it.
Since your range is new and under warranty, it might be worth a call to GE customer service to report it so it is at least on record and they may offer to have it checked.
I wouldn't wait too long; GE is trying to sell the appliance division and the next owner may not have to honor warranties.
SOURCE: I started the GE self cleaning feature on my GE
It will stop when it is done cleaning, usually about 3 hours.
