Just great -- we had the patio door open in the living room, which is directly connected to the kitchen -- but no other ventilation. I wish these guys would explicitly tell you the danger.

According the GE literature, "a very small amount of carbon monoxide" is emitted during the self-cleaning phase. The more I read about this, the more I think self-cleaning == brain death. And yet, I'm sure I'm not alone in having self-cleaned with no ventilation. How many people do you think actually read the instructions? I'd be interested in knowing what exactly "very small" means in terms of ppm.

Anyhow -- I'm most worried about the CO, not so much any other carcinogens or toxins unhealthy to birds.

Bottom line continues to be: whether or not I did suffer damage, I shouldn't obsess over it. I think, with 99% confidence, that the trouble I'm having with attention and the depression is related to my negative thoughts more than any actual toxins.

In any event, I'm beginning to think the only way I'll convince myself I'm OK is to buy a carbon monoxide detector and measure the CO in the air during a test self-cleaning run.
