Just moved into house with self cleaning oven, dont know how to use the self cleaning oven
REMEMBER YOU ARE WORKING WITH 220 VOLTS - USE EXTREME CAUTION!!!
you never give out the exact model of your oven. the procedure i gave to is very common if you will follow and really know your device.
HERE:Read the owner's manual that came with your oven before you perform self cleaning. Although all self cleaning ovens work basically the same way, there may be slight variations for some manufacturers and models.
Take out the oven racks. You need to clean the oven racks by hand, and then put them back in when the oven is done cleaning.
Wipe up any spills and messes inside the oven first, using warm water and a mild soap. Ovens smoke more during cleaning when there is food inside. Wash the inside of the oven door as well. Do not scrub the door gaskets, just gently wipe them off. Damaging the gaskets prevents the oven from sealing.
Lock your oven door manually if your model does not lock it automatically when you clean.
Open a window near the oven for ventilation. There is a certain amount of smoke when you clean the oven. The dirtier the oven is, the more smoke is created.
Turn the control on your oven to "clean" and set the timer for 2 to 5 hours depending on how dirty your oven is, and what the manufacturer recommends.
Wait for the cleaning to finish and the oven to cool before opening door. When oven is fully cooled wipe up any ash inside. If your oven is not completely clean, next time set the timer for longer. If your oven is spotless you might want to see if you can get away with a shorter cleaning time.

How do I use self clean oven? i have misplaced my manual It is a Fridigaire drop in, sept 2003 the only button i see to start it would be clean, but pushing it doesnt start it. I did just use the oven, might it might be cause it is still warm
If your oven has liners with a grey surface with black speckles,
these are self cleaning, to activate switch on the cleaning cycle or
Switch the oven on, crank the temperature control to max and when its up to temp leave it to cook itself for 30 / 45 mins.
Turn it off and leave for at least 2 hours to cool down before removing / touching.

i dont want to know how the self cleaning works, i want to know how to actually
start the process. lock the door push some buttons etc. that is what i need to know
The control panel does not have a distinct "CLEAN" button, rather a series of symbols with no words. The closest symbol would appear to be a "pad-lock" symbol, which effectively locks the door and brings up a "timer" option, but even when set, and push the "running man" symbol to start the process, door locks and nothing else happens. Thoughts?
I started the self cleaning by pushing the "logi-clean" button, funny noises sounded, then I realized I hadn't taken out the racks so I pushed canceled-- now the oven door will not close securely and everytime I start the oven to reheat, my kitchen fills up with smoke! Help--I can't use my oven now because the door won't close completely.
