Can a self-cleaning over generate carbon monoxide?
I run my self-cleaning electric oven about once a year, for the last 3 years. It gets really hot to burn off the dirt. Takes about 3 hours iirc. Works quite well.
This time, I happened to have two CO detectors plugged in. My new one started beeping so I plugged in the old one I hadn't used for 3 years or so. Then I read the online manual and found out the beeps meant the new one needed a new battery. So I put one in, and now both were plugged in.
The self-cleaning was running for an hour when the AC powered smoke detector started beeping. No batteries to remove and I still don't know what circuit it's on.
So I stayed in the basement for another 90 minutes and when I went two the second floor, I noticed the OLD CO detector said 50, which I suppose is 50 parts per million. The oid one was in the hall at the top of the stairs. The new one, around two corners in the master bedroom bathroom, that is, farther away, said ZERO.
50 is not high and the alarm wasn't alarmed or alarming, but the digital readout said 50, for about another 15 or 30 minutes.Can a self-cleaning over generate carbon monoxide?
