<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Brainstuff from hastaff works dot com where smart happens.

0:00:32.000 --> 0:00:35.160
<v Speaker 1>Hi Am Marshall Brain with today's question, how does self

0:00:35.280 --> 0:00:40.120
<v Speaker 1>cleaning ovens work? The basic idea behind any self cleaning

0:00:40.159 --> 0:00:44.080
<v Speaker 1>oven is burn baby burn. The oven gets up to

0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:49.080
<v Speaker 1>a very high temperature about twice normal and incinerates everything

0:00:49.200 --> 0:00:52.720
<v Speaker 1>that's inside the oven and stuck to the walls. Self

0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:57.400
<v Speaker 1>cleaning ovens use an approximately nine hundred degree fahrenheit or

0:00:57.480 --> 0:01:02.560
<v Speaker 1>four degree celsius temperature cycle to burn off spills left

0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:06.360
<v Speaker 1>over from baking without the use of any chemicals. A

0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:10.280
<v Speaker 1>self cleaning oven is designed with a mechanical interlock system

0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:14.720
<v Speaker 1>patented in two that keeps the oven door locked and

0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:19.120
<v Speaker 1>closed during and soon after this high temperature cleaning cycle,

0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:24.000
<v Speaker 1>which can take approximately three hours. The door stays locked

0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:28.080
<v Speaker 1>to prevent people from accidentally burning themselves with a blast

0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:31.240
<v Speaker 1>of nine hundred degree air when they open the door.

0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:34.240
<v Speaker 1>The interlock will let you open the oven door again

0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:37.919
<v Speaker 1>after the oven cools down to approximately six hundred degrees

0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:43.040
<v Speaker 1>fahrenheit or three fifteen degrees celsius. If baking spills are

0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:46.679
<v Speaker 1>not wiped up after baking, there may be some smoke

0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:49.680
<v Speaker 1>during an oven cleaning cycle. It's a good idea to

0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:52.520
<v Speaker 1>remove any pets from the area when running the oven

0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:56.080
<v Speaker 1>self cleaning cycle because of this smoke and also because

0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:59.880
<v Speaker 1>of poisonous vapors. There have been reports of oven he

0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:04.640
<v Speaker 1>did teflon coded items releasing odorless fumes that are deadly

0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:09.120
<v Speaker 1>to birds. Self cleaning ovens have the added benefit of

0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:12.919
<v Speaker 1>more installation around the oven to keep that nine degree

0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:17.000
<v Speaker 1>heat in and this helps the energy efficiency for regular baking.

0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:21.120
<v Speaker 1>This is a similar concept to an increased R factor

0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:25.399
<v Speaker 1>in a home's insulation. You'll also save energy costs by

0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:29.160
<v Speaker 1>using the self cleaning cycle right after baking something else

0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:34.520
<v Speaker 1>to make use of the already partially heated oven. For
