Why You Should Never Use Your Oven's Self-Cleaning Feature

Never Use Your Oven’s Self-Cleaning Feature!

We are always looking for shortcuts or hacks to make our cleaning easier. But, not all the fast or easier options are the best options, like cleaning your oven. Most ovens have the feature to self-clean, this option may seem great but in hindsight, this feature can cause problems to your oven function and most importantly may harm the health of you, your pets, and your home.

Newer ovens are most likely to have hidden heating elements above the oven ceiling and beneath the oven floor, which makes them easier to clean than ovens with exposed heating elements. But this means it’ll be harder for the ovens to let out the leveled heat produced while still ensuring there’s enough air circulating. Using the self-cleaning option on the oven may blow out the fuse and burn the control panels from the high heat.


Although oven manufacturers are well aware of the problems the self-cleaning feature creates, many customers demand the option, which pushes manufacturers to continue including it. 
If ovens do become damaged from the cleaning cycle, they can be much more expensive and difficult to fix; the entire oven has to be pulled out in order to gain access to the problem area. 
So, when having to clean your oven, though it’s time-consuming, it’s best to clean it with just soap and water. You don’t have to clean the oven after every use; maybe every three months or as needed
.

You end up saving money and most importantly preserving your health and your family’s health as well.
