Roger:

It's wasn't clear to me if your oven had a "self cleaning feature" which can get up to 500 degrees F and locks (safety feature) during this operation.

I find these little engineering solutions interesting, I enjoyed this brief thread on solar battery chargers:

 12V solar charger battery drain - why don't they have cutouts to prevent this? 

Glad you liked it, I was very chuffed over the weekend that the little (20W) solar panel gave enough power to run the fridge down to 4C and charge the battery at the same time! (Not just instantaneously, but also averaged over the main daylight hours.) I do find it amusing that the battery and fridge are both Bluetooth enabled, but it did mean I was able to spend far too much time seeing that I was getting net power gain. The little relay (see thread) works a treat.

Hello Peter,

No this is a very simple oven, I am the cleaning system. It will reach 250°C (~480°F). I did  however install the seal the other way up so that the joint is at the bottom where it is slightly cooler and will be less of a problem if it fails in future.

Hello Roger:- Regarding your comment "I am the cleaning system !:

If you are into cooking here is something you might like to look at:-
