Do they still make ovens that don't self clean?

Mine doesn't either. -- nm - kelly Oct 25, 14:02
Buy some Easy-Off, you lazy bastige. -- nm - Reagen Oct 25, 14:02 1
- I still associate Tony Randall as the pitch man for that product -- nm - con_carnage Oct 25, 14:13
Maybe, if it's very inexpensive. Check the temperature knob. -- nm - mara Oct 25, 14:01 4
- It's digital -- nm - ty97 Oct 25, 14:02 3
  - What's the model and manufacturer? -- nm - mara Oct 25, 14:03 2
    - Frigidaire model FGF337ECC -- nm - ty97 Oct 25, 14:05 1
      - The manual's online. Does't look like it self-cleans, since it gives instructions for hand-cleaning. -- nm - mara Oct 25, 14:10

  - They hot enough to turn residue into charcoal, which you then wipe off. -- nm - mara Oct 25, 14:15 2
    - I learned something today - znufrii Oct 25, 14:24
    - Egads! -- nm - con_carnage Oct 25, 14:22
- *sigh* The folks who built my condo certainly did seem to go with the cheaper versions of appliances. - ty97 Oct 25, 14:01 6
  - I am not sure if any gas stoves self clean, but I could be wrong. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 14:02 5
    - Mine does, but I don't wanna see the result on my gas bill after heating it at max temperature for 2 hours - Guigue Oct 25, 14:06 1
      - this, exactly. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 14:07
    - Sure they do. -- nm - mara Oct 25, 14:05 1
      - I stand corrected. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 14:06
    - ours does, but we've never used it -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 25, 14:03
*giggles* yes, yes they do. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 14:00 12
- Follow-up question: WHY?! -- nm - ty97 Oct 25, 14:00 11
  - I think the cleaning cycle runs the temps up to 900?? so it needs more insulation to keep it from yeah blowing up the building or at least catching it - zeitgeist Oct 25, 14:02 6
    - also, that's a waste of energy. Scrub it! -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 14:03 5
      - the problem with scrubbing an oven is that not only do you have get on your knees and bend way over but also from an angle cause the door is there in - zeitgeist Oct 25, 14:06 3
        
        of course, you could avoid it all by cleaning spills right away. ;P -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 14:10 2
        
        Well, you have to wait until the food's done cooking. And then you have to wait until the oven cools. By that time, it's pretty much cooked on. -- nm - mara Oct 25, 14:15 1
        
        true, but it's not nearly as bad as letting it accumulate over many times. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 14:18
      - I need a wife. -- nm - ty97 Oct 25, 14:05
  - I have a gas oven, I'd imagine it would blow up the building. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 14:01 3
    - I don't know ho self-cleaning magic works, so have no clue what this means. - ty97 Oct 25, 14:03 2

      - it runs super duper hot. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 14:03
