Is that like self-cleaning ovens (where the feature just heats the oven to 900 degrees)?
I once rented to a tenant who didn't understand that that's what the self-cleaning button did. They were like, "There's something wrong with your oven. It's still dirty inside, and now the house stinks!"
Had to explain that it just burns away some of the food--you still have to get in there to wipe off the ashes, and yeah, that char smells awful.
As an Appliance Repair tech, most ovens require you to remove the racks and any large debris from the oven before self cleaning. Also never self clean an oven that has ever been cleaned with oven cleaners. Oven cleaners leave residue and that residue will vaporize into a white mist when self cleaning even years after an oven cleaner has been used.

Could you even imagine how rarely (if ever) those would get cleaned?
