well u see there's a tiny woman that comes with the oven and she's kinda like those gnomes that live in your dryer stealing socks...except she's honest and every now and then comes out and cleans your oven

i think thats how it works....or from what i hear from some instruction manuals....the oven will heat to a cetrain temp. around 500-800F or more and creamate everything and you just wipe away the ashes instead of scrubbin the hell out of those grates....yea i know....i do sell appliances....

well it depends on how much you spend on the oven...obviously a cheap oven is going to get you a fat ugly girl...but if you spend for the expensive stuff than you get a hot french maid

The new ones have that self clean function.
The old ones need to be cleaned by hand with some strong *** chemicals. Most people get high and pass out during the cleaning due to the chemicals.

Which is why they still sell so many without the self cleaning feature.

Look how corrupted I've become....


Actually, there have been self-cleaning oven's since the 50s.
Yeah, 1950s.
So like if your "New" oven, is, like, not the cheapest piece of crap ever made and newer than say, oh, 40 years old, it should be able to self clean. If not, sue your landlord, or smack yourself for saving $20.

Man, some of youse all must have really old gross ovens if you think self-cleaning is new.

PS Do a search newb!
No, not on a car club forum for your housewarez questions, you silly nobk.
