A pyrolytic oven self-cleans by using extremely high heat to burn off food residue. The frequency it needs to be used depends on how often you use your oven and the kind of cooking done. However, with general use, you can run the pyrolytic cleaning function roughly every few months.
A pyrolytic oven is safe. The oven doors automatically lock during the pyrolytic cycle, and the oven cools down before allowing the door to be unlocked. They are engineered to handle high heat used during the cleaning cycle.
Electric ovens are generally more consistent at heat distribution across the oven space, leading to evenly cooked food which is particularly beneficial for baking. However, gas ovens often heat up faster and are typically cheaper to run, although they might cook less evenly.
A pyrolytic oven features a self-cleaning functionality. It uses high temperatures (typically over 400 degrees Celsius or 750 degrees Fahrenheit) to burn off food residues inside, reducing them to an easily removed ash.
Ovens come in several types. Gas ovens, renowned for their rapid heat and controllability. Electric ovens provide even heat distribution excellent for baking. Convection ovens combine heating elements and fans for rapid cooking, while steam ovens utilise steam to cook food, preserving nutrients.

For tough grease and stains, heavy duty oven cleaner can be used on select models. To see if this is suitable for your oven you'll need to consult the manufacturers instructions.
Electric ranges come in different types: freestanding ranges, for flexibility in installation, or slide-in ranges, which make the range appear built-in and custom to cabinetry. Also, there are drop-in ranges which fit into a predefined space.
