Speaker 1: Welcome to Brainstuff from hastaff works dot com where smart happens.
Speaker 1: Hi Am Marshall Brain with today's question, how does self
Speaker 1: cleaning ovens work? The basic idea behind any self cleaning
Speaker 1: oven is burn baby burn. The oven gets up to
Speaker 1: a very high temperature about twice normal and incinerates everything
Speaker 1: that's inside the oven and stuck to the walls. Self
Speaker 1: cleaning ovens use an approximately nine hundred degree fahrenheit or
Speaker 1: four degree celsius temperature cycle to burn off spills left
Speaker 1: over from baking without the use of any chemicals. A
Speaker 1: self cleaning oven is designed with a mechanical interlock system
Speaker 1: patented in two that keeps the oven door locked and
Speaker 1: closed during and soon after this high temperature cleaning cycle,
Speaker 1: which can take approximately three hours. The door stays locked
Speaker 1: to prevent people from accidentally burning themselves with a blast
Speaker 1: of nine hundred degree air when they open the door.
Speaker 1: The interlock will let you open the oven door again
Speaker 1: after the oven cools down to approximately six hundred degrees
Speaker 1: fahrenheit or three fifteen degrees celsius. If baking spills are
Speaker 1: not wiped up after baking, there may be some smoke
Speaker 1: during an oven cleaning cycle. It's a good idea to
Speaker 1: remove any pets from the area when running the oven
Speaker 1: self cleaning cycle because of this smoke and also because
Speaker 1: of poisonous vapors. There have been reports of oven he
Speaker 1: did teflon coded items releasing odorless fumes that are deadly
Speaker 1: to birds. Self cleaning ovens have the added benefit of
Speaker 1: more installation around the oven to keep that nine degree
Speaker 1: heat in and this helps the energy efficiency for regular baking.
Speaker 1: This is a similar concept to an increased R factor
Speaker 1: in a home's insulation. You'll also save energy costs by
Speaker 1: using the self cleaning cycle right after baking something else
Speaker 1: to make use of the already partially heated oven. For
Speaker 1: more on this and thousands of other topics, is that
