Has anybody ever cleaned a self cleaning oven?

[reno cool]

I don't know what's going on in there. It's hot, I can't open it, it stinks. I tried turning it off but it remains locked. I'm afraid to leave the house.

 

[Mudcat]

I don't believe I have ever cleaned any kind of oven in my life.

 

[reno cool]

So far my advice is don't start

Safety instruction for a self-cleaning oven:
1. Open a window and turn on the kitchen hood as smoke and fumes may be generated during the self-cleaning process.

2. Do not line the oven cavity with aluminum foil. It might melt on during the self-cleaning process and permanently damage the surface.

3. Never attempt to open the oven door during the self-cleaning cycle to prevent possible burn injuries. Once the oven cools down, the lock reopens, and you can use the oven as usual.

4. Never use oven cleaners, steel wool pads or wire-brushes inside as it might damage the special chamber pyrolytic coating.

5. If you own a bird, you should remove it away from the kitchen during the self-cleaning process. The fumes produced during this process are not harmful for people, but can be dangerous for birds!

This thread reminds me of how lame I am. I am a child in so many ways. I have no clue about very basic stuff that grown-ups do.

Reminds me of an episode of the show Dream On. There is a single dad and his 13-ish son living together. Dad says something like, "Your room smells. When was the last time you cleaned your sheets?"

Kid says, "I've never cleaned them. I thought you did."



Okay, I do clean my sheets but I can still relate to that kid.

ooh, thanx Oksana, I guess I'm mostly doing it right. (Except the part when I was trying to jam it open)

yeah I went a good 2-3 years in college without cleaning my sheets I think.

My wife changes our sheets/pillow cases every 1-2 weeks, and it can be an inconvenience sometimes... I'll go to go to bed and there will be a naked bed, and then I have to go to the closet and get the sheets and put them on.

also, how the fok do you fold one of those fitted sheets, the ones with the elastic corner thingies?

 

[Mudcat]

I just grab them and fold them up. If you aren't worried how tidy and square everything is, it's really not difficult at all.

I love clean sheets and we are the same way. It is annoying to find the naked bed though, I agree. I never have to put the sheets on, i usually just complain and make a scene until it gets done.

 

[reno cool]

well, looks it just made it worse. However, I did turn it off in the middle. So now I'm gonna run it again. How long does this go for?

3 to 5 hours apparently

self cleaning ovens scare me... I always just do it manually because I don't trust them

same as those 2 in 1 machines that wash and dry your clothes in one go

i waste money on this crap and then stick with the old school way

krazykorean ex was a squirter... had to change sheets almost daily and ended up buying 5-6 sets of sheets...tried laying towels and shit down all over the bed, but when we thought about it, we were still going to have to do the laundry

How to fold fitted sheets:
Just as you would a regular sheet, corner to corner, then lay it down and fold it up

Also, just roll it up. or do nothing, who gives a fuck.

My NYC apt has one of those. Biggest POS euro-invention ever. If I put the dry cycle on up to 2 hours it will still never be dry.
