You should never use the clean function on the oven, even for cleaning the oven. It can severely limit the lifespan of the oven as well as cause other issues (especially if you have birds or other small animals).
Another problem with using it for "cleaning" CI is especially on more delicate, thinner casts like old Wagner, CHF, etc, it can cause severe warping of the iron.
I was unaware. Good to know
The good news is I've taken care of my pans since and as we all know: a long as you're not a total dingus, you're not likely to screw your pans up a bad as OPs.
