I kept it all contained. Kept the oven locked. Turned it off. Grabbed a fire extinguisher just in case, and I did not need it.

Please let me know if I should turn it back on clean mode to get all the shit out or hire someone to.

My owners manual says "fire cleanses all" but honestly my Aramaic is a little rusty...

But yeah, "cleaning mode" doesn't get out soap and brushes, it gets it so hot that anything in there is cremated.

If it's enough for visible flames, that means you didn't clean it out enough first. Like, if a whole pizza falls thru the grate, you can't just turn on cleaning mode.

"Cleaning mode" is for after it's been wiped down and everything swept/brushed out. Then you sweep/brush what used to be hard globs out as soft ash.

So (obviously wait for it to cool down), open it up and sweep it out. Then try clean mode again.
