A self-cleaning oven is an oven which uses high temperature (approximately 900 degrees Fahrenheit - 482 degrees Celsius) to burn off leftovers from baking, without the use of any chemical agents.
Self cleaning oven A self cleaning oven is designed to stay locked until high temperature process is completed. Mechanical interlock (patented in 1982.) is used to keep the oven door locked and closed during and soon after the high-temperature cleaning cycle, which lasts approximately three hours. Oven doors stays locked to prevent possible burn injuries. Oven doors can be opened again after the temperature in oven cools to approximately 600 F (315 C). Self cleaning oven is more heat-insulated than “normal” oven, to reduce possibility of fire. That approach also reduces amount of energy needed for normal cooking. Precautions During high-temperature cleaning process, some smoke can occur. It is a good idea to remove any pets from the area when running the oven's self-cleaning cycle. Some sources report that overheated Teflon-coated items release odorless fumes deadly to birds. | ||||||||
