Folks, it’s time to listen up!

Because a TikTokker named Renae has some advice that she thinks you need to hear.

Renae works as an appliance repair technician and she took to TikTok to warn folks about why she thinks the self-cleaning function on ovens is dangerous.

Renae said, “The self-clean function utilizes dangerously high temperatures” and the temps she’s referring to can get to about 900 degrees.

Renae said these high temps “increase the risks of oven malfunctions, bodily harm, and house fire, even when used correctly.”

Renae added that around the holidays she and other appliance techs see a lot of oven failures because people use the self-clean function more.

She went on to read some warnings from oven manuals about how things can go haywire.

Check out her video.

All of the examples I listed of parts that can break are just a FEW of the ACTUAL parts I’ve had to replace on ovens damaged by self clean. This time of year is when I fix the most ovens after people run a self clean and it breaks them—trust me when I say it’s a feature NOT worth using! #LearnOnTikTok #TodayILearned #cooktop #range #stove #oven #cooking #cleaning #CleaningHacks #CleaningHacks#HowStuffWorks #LifeHack #kitchen #CleanTok #clean #WomenInTrades #Tradeswoman #SelfClean #ovenSelfClean #rangeSelfClean #fire #houseFire #fireSafety #OvenFire #StoveFire #RangeFire #Thanksgiving #Holidays #ThanksgivingDinner #ThanksgivingHack #ThanksgivingHacks #PSA #HouseFirePSA #fireSafetyPSA #ThanksgivingPSA

Here’s what folks had to say.

One person said she’s fear-mongering.

Another individual shared another way to clean your oven.

And this TikTokker thinks manufacturers just need to get rid of them.

Good to know!

Those things are kind of scary…
