Has anyone left this on while letting the oven self clean?

I haven't, but I don't see why you couldn't. Since the oven door automatically locks when cleaning, I've never thought about it one way or the other.

The instructions proved do state that you shouldn't use during the self clean cycle. I would imagine that the high heat could cause the adhesive to weaken and allow the lock to fall off

Yes, it does. I leave it off unless I am cooking with it. Saves the battery

Absolutely! But like the others said, don't leave it on too high while out and about. I often leave it on for 24-48hrs on low if I am making bone broth or really deep flavoured sauces. Never had an issue at all!

I haven't had that problem. I keep in on my counter away from the stove and ovens. I find it keeps my garlic fine for months.

I have a glass/ceramic stove top and we leave the glass covers on top of the stove when we use the Oven. There has been no problem.

Yes, it did have a smell, but it went away very quickly. It has already saved my oven a couple of times. I am so glad to have it.

I have a regular oven with electric coil on bottom of my oven. Never had a problem but I make sure to take it out when I do self cleaning. I can't answer the question on hidden heating elements.

We have not had that issue....I always warm the oven on the #1 setting. After the light goes off and the unit warms for roughly 10 minutes, I then turn the knob to #2 just before cooking a pizza. We had some issues the first time we used it and the pizza wasn't perfect but once we figured out our system, it has been perfect ever since. We just started pre-making pizzas when we are having people over and only cooking them half way earlier in the day and then finishing the cooking when we are ready to serve. They turn out great and you don't have the mess of preparation while you have guests. (Unless its a pizza party and some of the fun is having everyone prepare their own)

Mine worked fine until I turned the oven cleaner on. Didn't work afterwards.Appeared to have burned out. Says on packing fine for conventional ovens, however, I'm looking for something else.

I do not, I am very careful not to put any thing hot on it, if I do I have a pot holder on the bottom. I do use the extra space while getting everything ready for cooking.

No. You have to clean these small counter ovens yourself, but if you tidy them up a little each time you use them, then it's no big deal. If you take care of the oven it will last a very long time. I've had mine for 12 years and it still looks new, and bakes like a dream. My mom liked it so much that she asked for one for Christmas 3 years ago.

Yes, we leave ours on all the time. It takes too long to warm up otherwise. I might shut it off during the summer if I don't need it as much.

I haven't used it on the oven, but I do use it regularly on pots and my stove top burners. It is the only thing I found that really works.

No --but it is very simple to pull out--just pull---I definitely recommend this oven--we have loved using it--

On the bottom of the oven under heating element. Definitely! It is great. Does a wonderful job. Cleans up easily.

yes, turn the nob to the LEFT for a longer period. I think it stays there so you will have to set a timer. I am just learning all this too. It is a great toaster/baking oven................especially for one or 2 people. I hardly ever use the conventional oven anymore, and that saves on electricity. This is convection too and that helps also. Hope this answers your question .

It hasn't happened to me yet, however I never clean the thing with anything more than a paper towel. The Teflon does a pretty great job.
