Suffering from zero weather conditions, lack of activity, and boredom, I decided to use the self cleaning feature on my gas range.
Now, my mother wasted a lot of money educating me in various fields that involved burning things, and people actually paid me a lot of money to help them do it correctly.
So I removed the internals of my oven and pushed the button marked CLEAN.
So I sat back and grabbed a brew to help me get through the cleaning time.
After the stove warmed up the smoke came billowing out, lots of smoke. So I opened all the windows and most of the doors, even broke out a couple of fans, to get rid of the acrid smoke.
The temperature of the house went down to meet the 10 degrees out side when the smoke finally went away.
I learned a lesson from this experiment, never hit the clean button buy a new stove.
Sorry, I intended it for the original poster.
perfectly okay happens to me too I need adult supervision often times ;)
Now...to save your dryer from catching on fire, and to dry clothes better...go clean out the lint. And, not just in the lint filter, get down inside and in the back were the hose attaches to the outside vent.
These are things women learn and men ask "What did you do all day?" LOL
