Photocatalytically-activated self-cleaning oven

a self-cleaning device of accumulated organic contaminants on one or more surfaces of the device, covering the surfaces of the device with a self-cleaning coating photocatalytic activation occurs. After exposing said surfaces to the radiation of suitable wavelength, for a sufficient time interval, at least a portion of organic contaminants present in the photocatalytic self-cleaning coating is removed activation. The coated surface is clean without manual effort or high temperatures. Actinic radiation is generally and includes, more particularly ultraviolet radiation.
