is it possible to disable the self cleaning function in an electric oven? This is for a rental unit, and I'm not comfortable with a tenant using the self clean cycle. thanks bill

Why, all it does is get hotter than normal cooking and lock the latch to prevent the door from being opened?

Hi, I think he is CHEAP! Wanna save some on utility bill. Cleaning cycle uses quite a bit of electricity. Other reason maybe he likes dirty oven, LOL!

Not all that much. According to:

about 5kWh ($.60 here) per month.
He likes to clean up after his tenants? That's sick! ;-)

an incident at a friends house recently: there didn't seem to be all that much residue in the oven, but it darned near burned the place down. They pulled the unit the next day.
btw, a good answer for you might have been "I don't know".

Advice here is worth as much as you pay for it.
Is there a separate switch for self-cleaning? If so, then yes.
Otherwise, you might consider continuous cleaning next time. (although then you'll have to keep them from cleaining it and taking off the continuous finish.)
