I use to have a Self Cleaning oven and I have to say I was very happy
with it. I would put it on the Auto Clean cycle and except for having
to replace the Lock once, it worked great. I don't recall it ever
failing to clean up a mess. I wouldn't do anything except use the
auto setting once or twice a year, then MAYBE sweep out the dust.

Then I moved to a home with a Continuous Cleaning Oven.
I didn't realize that me "I" was to be continuously clean the thing.
It looked bad when I got it and though I cleaned it (per directions),
it was soon back to a mess. It looks quite bad.

My question is, "Is this the common experience, or is mine the
exception?" I would like to hear from those of you that have had
experience with both.

Thank You.

Years ago we had a continuous clean oven. What a crappy idea. It was never
really clean. Go back to a self clean if you can.

Was that the hting which supposes to absorb dirt or something. I don't
think they make it any more. Another idea did not pan out I guess.

Continuous clean is a marketing joke. By putting a porous surface inside the
oven and hoping that cooking spills will eventually go away makes an oven even
harder to keep clean.

Never had a 'continuous clean'- but back in the 70's during my short
life as an appliance salesman we used to refer to them as 'continuous
dirty'. Is yours an old one or are they still not ready for prime
time.

[I'm with you- I love the self cleaning. *That* was a good idea.]
