I’m scared to use the self cleaning feature now
Me too!
Please don't buy the hype. I almost fell for this too. I read the manual and used it. My oven looks brand new.
She sounds like she knows what she's talking about. But as I see the comments, I have too admit it's scary to me also
We just turn it off 😅🙈
I’m using easy off
Omg thank you Angela, this was the most informative video on self cleaning that anyone could ask for.
I appreciate your kind comment. ❤️
Angela I just want to thank you from the really bottom of my heart, today was My first day as a professional cleaner! And I’m on charge of cleaning all apartments move outs and omg I knock off 3 bed 2 baths in less than 3 hours! I was very focused, and I put to the test all your tips and tricks! Was so helpful ! I took my notes to see in what can I be faster! That place looks and feels like new! Thank you 😊
You can? Whoa I can't finish a 3 bath 2 bath in 3, it always takes me 4 hours! You are a badass!
Thank you for the very informative video! I feel you just saved us from lots of oven expenses and a dangerous fire hazard. We like the natural non toxic way and your suggestion of the vinegar and baking soda was perfect. Thank you!
Excellent info! I was 1 hr into self cleaning, did not pull out oven from cabinets, was like, let me cut this thing off sheesh, 1000 degrees is serious lol
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching. 🙂
I've used it several times this year, not just to clean, but to renew cast iron pots. No issues yet,
Oh my gosh, thank you for the move it away from the wall tip! It’s my first time with a self clean oven and that’s not something I would have thought of.
Thank you for this. I have never used the self cleaning feature on an oven before nor did I even know how it worked but was thinking about using it soon. Thanks to you, I learned how it works and the potential risks. I think I'll just clean my oven by hand.
Thanks for leaving me a note! Cleaning by hand definitely comes with fewer risks.
I had no idea how to clean my oven and no idea about the dangers of the self-cleaning function - so glad I watched this, you probably saved my apartment!!!
Thanks for watching my video : )
After years of neglect, I finally decided today to clean my oven using the baking soda / vinegar approach. It certainly helped, but I'm still having to put a fair amount of elbow grease into it to get the remaining gunk off. I'm thinking when this is finally done, I'm going to be much more diligent about cleaning the oven, if not after every use, then at least much more frequently than once every 20 years!
Cleaning mainteance is key. If we let the gunk build up we will definitely put in more work/time when we decide to clean. Thanks for watching!
I agree! I think I'm gonna buy those trays for the bottom for 10$
It seems to me the Fire Department or someone could have just turned off the oven from the circuit breaker instead of tearing down a wall.
Unless you knew exactly where the panel was and which circuit breaker to open - remember when your house is on fire your first job is to get you and everyone else the hell out of there. Firefighters are trained to attack the fire and not always will they know where to look for the circuit breaker panel. When this happened to me when my oven caught fire, I *did* know where to go and pulled the main breaker to the entire house killing all power and then hitting the fire with the extinguisher. Quick thinking but since I designed the house and was the original occupant, I happened to know exactly where to go. Not everyone will.
The same though occurred to me as well.
So why not just shut the utility mains off at the meter head outside of the house rather than bashing a whole wall down?
Sure but a fire is not only fueled by the electric once it started. Seen it. My oven stands alone , at least 6 inches from other items even when baking something at 450. Doesn’t look bad-in fact gives a sense of security.
The fire fighters break the walls to make sure their is no fire in the walls and nothing burning in the walls
This is an outstanding instruction video, Angela! I absolutely will try the baking soda and vinegar option especially in the winter since opening the windows to clear the air doesn't work well when it is -15ºF outside. And, yes everyone, if there is major spillage inside the oven it helps to manually clean up as much as you can before running the cleaning cycle to minimize the volume of smoke and ash generated.
You are very kind to leave me such a nice comment, thank you! 🤗
I've never been more scared in my life.... I don't even want to look at self cleaning ovens now.
Lol...it's not as bad as it seems. Thanks for watching the video.
Thank you for this. Most of the information I already knew. But your anecdotal stories and details helped me learn even more. A friend of mine “cleaned” my oven once using cleaning agents and I was still thinking about trying the self-cleaning function. How bad could it be? Well, after watching this video I absolutely will not do that. I’m going to use your baking soda and vinegar solution, which I had heard of before, and work on it. Since it’s your recommendation, I trust it much more now. You really are an expert and a professional.
Thank you for your feedback and thanks for watching. 🙂
Thank you very informative. I was always curious what the self cleaning oven does and it’s a good thing there’s folks out there in you tube like you! ❤️
Thanks for watching my video! ❤️
I had a self cleaning oven once and it worked great. I left it behind when I sold my house. At my new house I bought a new oven but it is not self cleaning. I was really missing my old oven but after seeing this, OMG I'm so scared I've stopped looking for a self cleaning one now and will just keep using what I have. Thanks so much!
Self-cleaning ovens are great when they are installed properly. You have to monitor them if you are going to use them.
Just wanted to let you know that many higher end oven manufacturers are now recommending you DO NOT line an oven. My husband ruined a 2-year old convection oven putting a liner in, we forgot that it said don't line it in the manual, we had to purchase a new one. It was an expensive lesson to remember to follow the manufacturer's instructions. My current oven also states you should never line the oven.
I love your videos and have been watching a bunch of them! Thanks for producing them!
Thank you for the information and for your kind words on my videos, I appreciate! Following the manufacturer's instructions should always be the first priority.
I live in an apartment and have no idea how others may have cleaned this oven. I was about to self clean tomorrow, and had no idea. Thank you! I'm glad I found this!
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much for that invaluable information, you save my life! I was planing to leave my house next time I self clean my oven,!!! And some time I clean with chemicals. I can’t Believe no too many people know this. thank you so much again God bless you
Glad I could help! And thank you for watching the video. 🙂
3:00 okay, thank you. I'll never clean my stove, ever.
Did it now. Not because l wanted to clean it, but because the heating is broken, l was freezing and 1000 degress are useful! Anyway it removed some stuff l guesd. The stench was unbearable so l had to open the windows !!!@@@@@##@#@
April Ezell that was stupid they just had to cut off the electricity of the house.
LOL. Love it.
We didn’t know where the breaker box was located. Self-cleaning ovens are great when they are installed properly. You have to monitor them if you are going to use them. Cleaning by hand definitely comes with fewer risks. 👍
Thank thank you THANK YOU! You are the first person to make any sense about oven cleaning after all the videos I watched!!!! You know your stuff. Thanks for sharing
I started to clean my oven with the self cleaning Thingie, but it started to smell funny, so I googled it and i.m glad I did, WOW!!! 1,000 degrees, anyways needless to say I stopped the cleaner cycle and I'll just do it by hand tomorrow.
Thank you Angela!
P.S. And I'll post this so other" house Dads" don't learn the hard way..
You are so handsome!
How do you stop the cycle the GE self cleaning oven been going for 7 hrs now wow
Thanks for watching the video and leaving a comment. Self-cleaning ovens are great when they are installed properly. You have to monitor them if you are going to use them. Cleaning by hand definitely comes with fewer risks. 👍
I ended up calling a repair person who was wonderful helped me yeah won't use cleaning any longer probably every time I use oven I will put a baking sheet to avoid messes if cannot use cleaning cycle did get a new repairman out of it was good ....he was good
Hello thank you so much for that video cuz I was just about to use my self cleaning oven and I was trying to find a video to tell me what I should use to spray but not use the self cleaning oven together I had a feeling that I shouldn't use both but I prayed about it and you answer my question thank you so much I look forward to seeing more of you videos
Thanks for watching my video : )
This was an extremely good video, thank you for taking the time to make.
You're welcome, glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching. 🙂
very useful information. Thanks for posting :)
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Ive only ever done the chemical spray or the baking soda thing at home and other cleaning jobs and both worked fine. One of my newer accounts asked me to fo the self cleaning on their oven, thet have a half used chemical cleaner that must have been used by previous cleaner and i did not feel comfortable with the self cleaning feature ( a friend of mine had to call the fire department for a self cleaning oven problem). Im glad I went with my instincts and used baking soda instead!
You’re welcome and thank you for watching the video and commenting. 😊
I immediately stopped the process within 5 minutes of starting this feature. Ty. I'm in Florida also with closed windows with the AC on.
Glad the video was helpful, thanks for watching!
Thank you. All the tips are really helpful. And it was a very nice thing to hear at the end- "leave the world a cleaner place than when you found it." 🙂
Thank you for watching and for helping me, leave the world a cleaner place. That's the mission I'm on. 😍
Thanks so much Angela great explanation, I was looking for information about this and I am happy to see your video..
Blessings..
Thanks for watching and let me know how your oven turns out. I'm eager to hear what you used> :-)
Didn’t know I had to be out of the house that long. Guess I’ll spend the night with my daughter. Thanks.
Fumes can be really bad if you're using a self-cleaning cycle and you had previously used an aerosol spray. Ventilation is the key. (NOTE - I would not recommending running a self-cleaning cycle if you are not going to be nearby to monitor the situation, just in case something like a cabinet fire happens.)
I really appreciate your great advice. It saved my life. God bless you. You are the best
Thank you for your very kind comment, I appreciate it. 🤗
Very good tips! As a maintenance technician and appliance repair technician. I’ve seen the scary results myself. Thank you for the much needed video. Actually may have saved some lives.
Wow, what an oven boss. Thank you so much. Been renting a home for so long, tried to use oven after about 1.5 years into rent agreement and so many fumes. Noticed Oven had to be cleaned. Tried with basic cleaners (non-oven cleaners) and then noticed Oven had self-clean feature. Luckily I have very high flow fans so I ran them to blow outside while oven self cleaned. Results are still pending. What concerned me was the final note from video that it may overwhelm oven ie. 4 hours at 1000 degrees. So much for trying to make some bread! :)
You're welcome! Thank you for sharing your feedback and thanks for watching the video.Hope you were able to make that bread! 🙂
There are some cases where the self-cleaning feature has worked wonderfully for some people. And if it works correctly it's fabulous. We do however recommend our cleaning customers buy those eco-friendly, reusable oven liners for $11-$13 amzn.to/2VrjrWz and just keep one in the bottom of each oven. You can cook anything you want, pie, yams anything that boils and bubbles over and it drips on the oven liner not the oven itself. When the oven is cool you slide out the liner and shake out the debris in the trash and wipe down the inside of the oven ceiling and walls with a damp sponge with a pinch of dish soap, and your oven is as good as new. Wipe off the oven liner and replace in the bottom of the oven. You'll never have to use the self-cleaning feature or harsh chemicals again. BAM!
Awesome tips! You rock Angela!
Glad you think so...thanks so much!!
Very good, Angela! Thanks for sharing this!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Just had to replace my range after just 9 years when one of the relay boards died. (Replacement cost of the relay board was quoted as over $800). The repairman said it had likely gotten fried by the high temps of the self cleaning feature. And I had only used the self cleaning feature about 5 times over the life of the oven because I had been told early on that it was hard on computer components in the range.
Oh wow...good to know! Thanks for sharing!
An appliance seller and repair person has advised against using the self-cleaning oven feature because it inevitably ruins the heating element.
and this is why its wise to research something you don't know before performing a task. Thank you
You are right! 👍🏻
This is why I'm here! I Googled how the self clean oven feature works because I've never done it before. Now I will never ever use it. Scares me to death! I'm totally fine with good old fashioned elbow grease.
Meile oven had a very expensive model which had a self cleaning programme.. Thank goodness I bought the model without it. Thanks for all your good advice 💕
Thanks for watching and taking the time to drop me a line. :-)
Love the silicone sheet idea!
Last week, I cleaned my oven by the baking soda/water/vinegar/elbow grease method, and I was so proud of how it came out (nearly pristine) that I posted a photo on Facebook. Yes, yes I do need a life, why do you ask?
And the next thing you know you’ll be making TH-cam videos on housecleaning, lol!
@@AskAngelaBrown LOL! If so, it will be my fourth one. I'm posting here from my personal channel, but I also have two for different aspects of my own business, book editing and retreat presenting. I'm way behind on it due to health issues, but hope that I can gradually rebuild my strength and get back to it. For now, cleaning the oven is a truly major project for me, one that leads to days of rest afterwards.
Loved watching a video on the self cleaning oven thank you for the all the information it was great it helped me a lot thank you!👍🏻
You are so welcome! Glad ti was helpful. Thanks for watching. 😊
Best explanation ever. Very thorough. Thank you!
Glad you think so! Thank you for watching!
wow, never thought of pulling the stove out away from the cabinets before running the sel-clean cycle. great advice.
If it's not an oven that is built into the cabinets and is a stand alone - keeping it far enough from the cabinets to "breathe" may prevent a fire in your house too. :-)
I purchased a GE self cleaning oven 11 years ago and have never used that function because I was afraid it would get out of hand. After listening to this? I will continue to hand clean.
Good to know!
Thanks so much for this amazing imfo.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to respond. :-)
Thank you so much! Very helpful & informative.
I’m glad you found the video helpful! 😊
OMG thank you so much for this brilliant explanation. I have used cleaning sprays, so I won't be ever using the self-cleaning feature.
You are so welcome, glad it was helpful!
Thank you Angela for your videos. This one made me look at my gas oven manual. I will never use that 1000 degrees self clean. I am going to use the steam clean feature with water, plus I have ordered a nonstick silicone mat to catch the nasty stuff. I have wheat berries and I will be milling them into flour to bake bread in my newly cleaned oven.
Keep me posted on how the steam cleaning works for your oven (and how the bread turns out). 😊
Thanks! I'm going to buy some Easy Off!
silicone baking sheets are a fantastic idea. love it. thanks
Glad you like them!
Wow thank you for this video !!!
You're welcome. Thanks for watching. :-)
Good information! Thank you!
I appreciate you watching my video and leaving me a comment. ❤️
Thank you for this you just saved me. I used off oven cleaner on my burners and because the fumes where so bad I was going to use the self cleaning cycle on the oven. My sons and I have horrible asthma and this would have been really really dangerous. Back to backing soda and hydrogen peroxide which by the was works MUCH better than the baking soda and vinegar. I really need to stop trying to find easier ways around things. With lung issues I need to be more careful with my family's health.
Nothing wrong with trying to find easier ways around things. We ALL do it. Stay smart momma. :)
Thanks for sharing : )
That was very helpful and very clear thank you 😊
You're welcome, glad it was helpful!
Phenomenal video! Thanks!
Glad you think so. Thank you for your feedback and thanks for watching. 🙂
Well, you just may have saved our house. We thought about using the self-cleaning option, but decided to hold off. Now we are remodeling our kitchen and I decided to pull the oven out, only to find out the electric oven wire was undersized. It should have been #10 AWG on a 30amp breaker, but when I opened it, it was installed with #16 AWG, ( which is smaller. the smaller the number AWG the bigger the size of wire) from the wall to the through the flex conduit to the unit. And the unit back was almost tight against the wall and sides. We'll use a safer way of cleaning. We both Thank you!
You're welcome, glad it was helpful! And thank you for watching the video.
Lmao when I was 12 I used the self cleaning option out of curiosity and I was so shook. The oven started to produce mad black smoke and the inside of the oven looked red af from the glass. I had no idea that would happen.
Oh my, that must have been terrifying. Thanks for sharing with our community.
Thank you!
Thanks for the great tip
You’re welcome! 👍
God bless you lady!
Why didnt the fire department just turn off the breaker at the load center? Or did they just want to demolish your garage in the process?
Yes they just want to demolish your garage. How fun was that!
Maybe FIRE? When you have a fire and a house filled with smoke, the fire department will put a hole somewhere to get rid of the smoke to see what they are dealing with. My friend a retired fire Captain told me this just yesterday, because I asked him, why they put a hole in roofs or walls, now I know.
Thank you for this video. I was going to leave the self cleaner on and go to bed… I just turned it off. It’s an old oven and who knows it could have caught on fire while I was sleeping. I just had it running for an hour and a half and the house smells
So glad the video was helpful and that you shut off the oven. Thank you for watching.
amazing video. top of the line.
Thank you very much! I appreciate you watching. :-)
I have to clean my oven and went online and found this video. You mentioned a recipe for baking soda and vinegar for cleaning the oven using the heat of the oven. I looked in notes and could not see it. Did I miss it? I would really like to give this method a try before I use the alternative. I really appreciate the good tips! Thank you!
Thanks so much for reaching out. Here is an easy recipe to clean your oven: Mix baking soda + enough water to make a paste. Finger paint the paste on the areas that are dirty. Spray with vinegar. Allow paste to set for 2 minutes and then scrub with a non-scratch scrub sponge.
Thank you, very helpful.
You're welcome, glad to hear it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Thanks Angela, some clarity on oven cleaners in self cleaning ovens. Now I’m wondering if what I heard was true; that oven spray damages the weave around the door of a sc oven. I had a client keep insisting I run her self clean program but it was so dirty it caught on fire, even after me scrapping a layer off the pan.
Oh no! I appreciate you sharing this story. 🤗
Thank you for this helpful video. I do want the recipe for the baking soda cleaning past but I don’t see it in the show notes. Thank you 😌
Oh no, sorry about that. The paste is just baking soda and add water until it has a paste consistency. If you give it a try let me know how it works out for you : )
We're in a rental; I'm buying a new oven. I can tell someone used oven spray and oven self-cleaning feature. The fumes it gives off are horrible. I don't want that on my food either. Best way I've found - wipe out with Dawn dish soap and water when the oven is still warm but not hot. If the stains don't come off, usually they come off the next round. I also loved the steam clean function - not toxic and it helped:)
Oh no! So sorry to hear that😥 Using oven cleaner and self-cleaning feature is very dangerous and unsafe. Sorry you have to deal with someone's mishaps
I love all the details in this vid...how-to mixed with horror movie.
I’m glad u helped saved me . I just turned it off literally just now
You're welcome. Glad the video was helpful. Thanks for watching!
Easy off spray down the inside of entire over ceiling walls inside door glass and bottom of oven let it sit over night and in the morning everything wipes off with a wet sponge works great no elbow work required
Thanks for sharing your tip. ❤️
I was thinking the same
And I would also try to do the same thing with the baking soda and vinegar to go for a nontoxic option. I’ll try it and share my results 👍🏻
I was just told easy off heavy duty cleaner will break down the coating of the inside of the oven, and you should never use the self cleaning afterwards, because the self-cleaning coating may have been damaged. I'll go with the baking soda and vinegar and a little elbow grease. Thanks Angela
You are an awesome teacher!
Wow, thank you so much!
Thank You.
You’re welcome and thank you for leaving a comment. 👍
Thanks!
You’re welcome and I appreciate you watching the video. 👍
I have one of the liners. Be sure to remove it before using the self-cleaning feature. My spill problem is where the oven door meets the oven floor. This area doesn’t clean with the self-cleaning feature. I’ll try your method. My mother always used ammonia in a glass container.
Thanks for watching and for sharing your input, I appreciate it!
looking for the baking powder paste recipe, can't find anything in show notes.
Baking soda + enough water to make a paste. Finger paint it on the areas that need to be cleaned. Let is set for 2 min. Scrub with a non-scratch scrub sponge. It's easy.
You prevented a fire!! I pulled out my oven and found paper between the oven and cupboard that i didnt see when i just pulled the bottom drawer out to wash under the oven. I also would not have opened a window.
Enjoy your videos!! Did the family who had the fire try to hold you accountable for the diseaster??
Watching this while using the self cleaning option. Soon as you told the fire story. I turned it off. Lol
It's better to be safe. Thanks for watching!
Life saver! I immediatelly turned mine off, it was already smoking too much!
So glad it was helpful and I hope you were able to get rid of the smoke.
So if the self cleaning oven blows the elements, wrecks the oven, and causes fire, what is the use or point of it?
So that the fire department comes or keeping stoves in business.
Self destruct
So they get an excuse to charge more for the stove and then you have to replace it soon.
My thoughts exactly !!
Just saying. Sounds too dangerous to use and if it eats up your heating element so why is it even a feature? Was getting started to do and backed down esp w this 105 degree California weather.
Bless your heart lady 🙏🏾
Thank you much! Sending hugs and blessings your way.🙏🤗
I used the self cleaning feature and it resulted in a crackled appearance to the exterior paint and it also warped the plastic display screen. I had no idea it got that hot!
Oh no! Did you call the oven manufacturer?
Must be honest, this was the last video I decided to watch, since the bright colors on the back looked like a sensationalist video. Nevertheless, you answered ALL the questions we had, we decided not to use it at all. Although, I think the manufacturer explored all your scenarios, still we were not so sure. Our house was built in the 50s and I was doubtful about the power box being able to support the energy needed. The enclosure of the cupboards, the possibility of a fire, etc. On one of the videos I watched, the lady did everything you suggested not to do, she couldn't even find the start button! Maybe they are good for new homes designs, but will NOT take the chance. Thanks for the great and informative video! Kudos ma'am!
LOL. Thanks Pablin for the feedback. Sorry if we almost scared you off with the thumbnail. And thanks for watching just the same and for your kind words. :-)
Almost everything she says is valuable information
thanks
You're welcome. Thanks for watching. :-)
Wow - researching a new oven for a small rental house - there's no way I'm getting a self cleaning oven - my God!! Thank you !
+Johnny's Cousin Steve self cleaning of it may be the way you want to go for a small rental house, the key is to make sure that there’s plenty of ventilation all the way around and that it’s not sit inside a cabinet or a cupboard where it could catch the areas nearby on fire. Either way let me know what you end up with. I’m curious to know. What you choose. 👍
@@AskAngelaBrown thank you, Angela! I’m replacing the range that’s there in between cabinets. No circulation. I’m going to get one without the self cleaning. I don’t want my tenants using it especially without fully understanding the heat and possible fumes involved.
??? You are such a find! I have a a gas stove (GE Cafe - 14 yrs old) with a self-cleaning convection oven that is electric; the element is exposed, not under the base. I have read not to use silicon liners. Most say yes and some say no. Some say you shouldn’t broil with silicon liners at the bottom. My manual only says not to use aluminum foil because it can get sucked into the fan. You think it’s safe? You’ve certainly convinced me never to use self-clean feature again😀
It sounds like the liners could get stuck like the foil as mentioned in the manual. I suggest you reach out to GE and ask: www.cafeappliances.com/support/contact-us
@@AskAngelaBrown Thanks for replying. Will do.
You’re incredible thanks new subscriber
Thank you so much and thanks for subbing!😊
WATCH THIS VIDEO LIFE SAVING OMG
Thanks so much for your feedback and for watching the video. 🙂
I am so glad that your video is the first I've watched about this! I live in a rented apartment so I'm even more convinced to not use this feature. I have cooked bacon in the oven and spilled the grease. I'm going to use Easy Off pump spray (not an aerosol) to clean up this mess. But if there is anything that is safer for my lungs and it will work just as well, I am open to suggestions! :)
I have a video on Easy Off: th-cam.com/video/EZXw13kQ4rg/w-d-xo.html
Remember to open the windows in the kitchen for proper ventilation. 🤗
Solution seems to be to use a countertop oven except for select items that don't mess up the big oven and clean it frequently right after use. That self clean option seems too risky. The baking sheets seem like a good idea as well.
Great point! Thank you for your feedback and thanks for watching. 🙂
I never heard of those oven liners-GREAT tip! Thank you! I’m thinking that you probably don’t cover those holes on the oven floor???
I’m glad you liked the idea of the oven liners. If you try them out let me know what you think! 🤗
I don't know if my oven was cleaned with products by the previous owners. How long do you think you should wait until it's safe to try the self cleaner in case they used product?
If you start to use the self cleaning oven and you get a horrible toxic smell in the house abort the mission. Your the oven will be locked due to the self cleaning cycle. Flip the breaker or unplug the stove (Flipping the breaker switch is usually easier to get to.) Wait until the oven cools down and don't use the self-cleaning feature.
OMG!!! THANK YOU YOU JUST SAVED ME!!!!
SOS PADS AND ELBOW GREASE THATS IT!!!!
Thank you so much
You’re welcome and thanks for commenting. 👍
I like the oven cleaners not a big fan of the self-cleaning option. I never thought about the fire possibility all the more reason to not use it. For a really baked on stain that the oven cleaners can't get I use a pumice stone for those. However, you will go thru them quickly so use them wisely it can get expensive.
I should have mentioned that as well they are great but they need to be wet! Down here in Tampa, they are a must for toilets our water is beyond hard. I absolutely love your channel your expertise really shows!
Thanks for the tip : )
I just Moved into an apartment in the oven is filthy. I was going to do the self clean method but now I am absolutely not going to. I’m too afraid! It also has a steam cleaning function but maybe I’ll pass on that as well. Thanks for this video.
You’re welcome and I appreciate you leaving a comment. 👍
Just about to clean my oven using self cleaning button after I have spray the oven. I want to wake up to a clean oven. Thank you so much. This video safe my life and two kids. I just have to cancel it.
Thanks so much for taking the time to watch my video and write me a comment. I appreciate you! ❤️
I just used my self-cleaning feature and tried to open the oven door but it wouldn't open so I was wondering if it had melted itself on to the body of the stove! I decided to check youtube and found your video and boy, did I learn a LOT! I wish I saw the video before, I would have never used this feature! Now I know I will not do it again! Thank you so much for making this very informative video. The information was very clear and you were easy to listen to. Thanks again.
The oven door has a lock that keeps anyone from opening the door until the self-cleaning oven cycle is completely cooled down. This prevents people from opening a hot oven and having extreme heat blast them in the face.
3:25 Ahh I think if you knew where your electrical box was there is usually a whole house switch on it and of course the oven breaker. Thanks for going over this though. Pretty obvious my cheap condo stove is not one of these. My big problem is sometimes I do home cut potato fries with oil and it basically spits all over the inside and it builds up.
Thanks so much for watching my video and I appreciate you taking the time to write me a comment. 🤗
Do You Have To Steam Clean A Brand New Oven When You First Get It Or Can I Just Wipe It Out. Also , Are There Any Toxins Within The Oven Or Inside Of Stove That Has To Be Burned Out ?
You typically don't need to steam clean a brand new oven when you first get it. Wiping it out with a damp cloth should suffice. Modern ovens are manufactured to meet safety standards, and any residues or potential toxins are usually burned off during the initial "burn-in" cycle when you use the oven for the first time. Just follow the manufacturer's instructions for the initial use, and your oven should be safe to cook with.
