I’ve ya and the same issue. Will the chemicals in the silicone cause health issues in food if the oven is used more in the future?

Thank you for your inquiry, Cheryl!

I understand that you left the silicone guard on the grates and turned on self-cleaning, now you have white powder inside of your Frigidaire range. This can be removed by using hot water, baking soda, and a non-abrasive cloth. It may take elbow grease in order to remove the white powder. I would recommend not using the oven until you have removed the white powder. I hope this information is helpful for you. -Matt

    Same problem here, but after cleaning numerous times there is a white film on the walls that won't come off. Can I still use the oven?

I forgot silicone rack covers during a self clean cycle. I now have white powder all over the oven. The powder repels water. Once it is cleaned up is it safe to use the oven?
Food grade silicone (what is used to make the rack guards) pyrolizes at the much higher oven cleaning temperatures. The white powder is what is left from that process....which a number of people (who have done the same thing) indicate is not easy to remove so good luck.
But your exposure to anything was probably worst during the pyrolysis as compared to what was left (white powder). If you are successful in removing it ... I would run the oven again in self clean mode ... check to make sure no other residue shows up ... and then use the oven as normal

Was this a bed sheet? Remove the white powder and wipe the oven with a damp cloth. Then, go to Bed "Barh" and Beyond and buy another sheet.

My room mate left a silicon baking sheet in the oven and turned on the self clean. once he realized what he had done we turned off the self clean and waited for the oven to cool off enough for the door...
Silicone ash is not toxic, although it will irritate the lungs if inhaled. It should be safe to just clean your oven and use it.

Left a silicone liner in a self-cleaning oven when I cleaned it
JUST SCRAPE IT OFF IF YOU CAN. OTHERWISE RUN ANOTHER CYCLE AND BURN THE REST OUT OF THERE.

OR JUST USE IT AS LONG AS YOU DONT SMELL ANYTHING BAD.
