A method and apparatus for cleaning a processing chamber comprising blocking a flow of cooling fluid to a channel within a support member within a processing chamber, elevating the support member to be within about 0.1 inches of a gas distribution plate, heating the gas distribution plate, and introducing a thermally conductive gas through the gas distribution plate into the processing chamber. In one aspect, the chamber comprises a chamber body and a support assembly at least partially disposed within the chamber body adapted to support a substrate thereon. The chamber further comprises a lid assembly disposed on an upper surface of the chamber body. The lid assembly includes a top plate and a gas delivery assembly which define a plasma cavity therebetween, wherein the gas delivery assembly is adapted to heat the substrate. A remote plasma source having a U-shaped plasma region is connected to the gas delivery assembly.
