How to keep self cleaning oven from damaging things

appliancescabinetsoven

I would like to know some tips/opinions on the self cleaning function of an oven.

  • Can it possibly hurt the oven's own circuitry?
  • what is a good way from preventing surrounding from getting damaged (cabinets, micro, whatever)? Last time I used it my cabinets fronts got scorched – turned them from white to light yellow.
  • are there any settings on the oven that help for the self cleaning?

what is a good way from preventing surrounding from getting damaged (cabinets, micro, whatever)? Last time I used it my cabinets fronts got scorched - turned them from white to light yellow.

To prevent the surroundings from getting damaged, I place two box window fans in front of the oven on the floor about 2 feet away, and table fan on the counter blowing behind.
