My self-cleaning oven has a broken latch so it won’t self-clean. So, I used Easy Off, approved for self-cleaning ovens, and rinsed the oven very thoroughly after following the directions on the can of oven cleaner. However, when I next tried to use the oven, the fumes were horrible and burned my eyes and lungs. It was quite frightening! Do I need to ventilate and vacate the house and run the oven at 400 degrees for a couple hours to get rid of the residual fumes? What do I need to do? I am afraid to use my oven now. I really thought I had very thoroughly rinsed all the cleaner off the inside of the oven. Thanks for your help!

I don.t have the answer but a suggestion. On your cleaner can is a web site or Phone # to call. please call them and ask them the question.Be very careful as I burned my lungs cleaning and can,t stand fumes now. Mixing other cleaners with what you already used could be very toxic.
.Mix some vinegar and water together and wipe your oven out with it. This should take the oven cleaner residue off….=)
