...I'm petitioning my HOA about finding a reputable roofing contractor for us condo owners to punch a hole in the roof for a vent. Wish me luck on that.
I used at least a 3rd of a roll of paper towels cleaning out my stove, and I had cleaned it a year before. Imagine all the gunk on those paper towlels being burned off and going out into my units walls, carpets...etc.
As for the racks...I had some hard scrubbing to do on some rails. Imagine
how much harder that carbon would be to get off if I left racks in during the cleaning cycle.
Whatever.. simply putting a sheet of aluminum foil at the bottom catches a lot of junk.
Also, my parents had to replace their stove after repeated self cleaning cycles. Why? Right under the bottom coil element stand offs, the metal
had been burned away due to repeated self cleaning cycles. There was
a hole in the metal there.
