6. Self-Cleaning Cycle

   unning the self-cleaning cycle may produce smoke and odors as it burns off accumulated residue. If using the self-cleaning cycle, ensure the oven is well-ventilated, and remove any large food debris before running the cycle. Afterward, clean the oven to eliminate any remaining residue and odors.
