self-cleaning oven is an oven that uses high temperatures (about 500 degrees Celsius or 900 degrees Fahrenheit) to burn leftovers from burning, without using any chemicals.

Process
The self-cleaning oven has a pyrolytic soil layer, which reduces foodstuffs to ash by exposure to a temperature of about 932 ° F (500 ° C). The oven wall is lined with heat and acid resistant porcelain enamel.
The self-cleaning oven is designed to stay locked until the high-temperature process is completed. Mechanical interlocks are used to keep the oven door locked and closed during and immediately after a high-temperature cleaning cycle, which lasts about three hours, to prevent possible burns. Typically, doors can be opened after the temperature cools to about 600 ° C (316 ° C).
Cleaning your own oven usually has more insulation than a standard oven to reduce the chance of fire. Isolation also reduces the amount of energy required for normal cooking.
Cleaning the oven itself is considered more convenient and save time, and therefore more cost effective. However, due to high combustion temperatures, they produce smoke and odors. In some cases, this may trigger a fire alarm. According to most professionals, this can be avoided with regular use of a self-cleaning program.

Alternate technology
The "clean" catalyst oven relies on a high metal, porous enamel to catalyze the reduction of soil to ash at normal cooking temperatures. The catalytic self-cleaning oven wall is coated with a material acting as an oxidation catalyst, usually in the form of catalyst particles in the bonding matrix. Cerium (IV) oxide is one of the commonly used materials. Other possibilities are copper, vanadium, bismuth, molybdenum, manganese, iron, nickel, tin, niobium, chromium, tungsten, rhenium, platinum, cobalt, and their oxides, either alone or in mixtures. Very active coatings usually contain copper oxide, manganese oxide or cobalt oxide, and copper and manganese oxide are often used together. The binder may be a fluoropolymer or enamel phrit. In the 1990s, SRI International conducted research for Whirlpool Corporation, and changed the composition and application of porcelain enamel surfaces found in ovens into one with low ion content, and films that make fat into water-soluble esters.
Another alternative to cleaning your own oven is a steam cleaning oven. It uses water with a lower temperature to clean the oven.
