Does foil catch fire in oven when on cleaning mode?
I think your question is "Does foil catch fire in oven when on cleaning mode?" If so, Foil catches fire if it is contaminated with grease/oil type. It does not have flammability.
Why does foil not catch fire in the oven?
Aluminum foil is a metal and it will conduct electricity. In general, the foil will reflect microwave energy, but if the foil has a certain shape, it will cause the metal to act as an antenna. Voltages will be generated (induced) in the foil, and those voltages can rise to thousands of volts causing an electric arc. This arc is very hot and can ignite other things in the cavity (the cooking space) in the oven. The aluminum isn't likely to catch fire, but food and plastic containers sure can. It is generally a good idea to avoid using foil in the microwave oven, but there are some circumstances where it can be used safely. You'll find information in the owner's manual.

What would cause aluminum foil to disintegrate in a convection oven?
Aluminium foil disintegrates in a convection oven because the heat rays of the oven hits the aluminium foil but gets reflected by the foil. Thus, the oven over heats and the aluminium foil disintegrates.
Should you line the bottom of a convection oven with foil to keep it clean?
Yes, in a normal oven it will catch crumbs, grease, oil etc. But DON'T put it in a microwave oven, or any other metal for that matter.

Can you melt butter in a solar oven?
A solar oven is made up of aluminum panels and won't catch on fire itself. However, it is possible for the food being cooked within the solar oven to catch on fire much like a magnifying glass focusing light from the sun can catch a leaf on fire.
Why clean your oven?
You want to clean the oven, particularly if you have spills so that they do not catch fire next time you light it up to cook.
Do you cook a baked potato in aluminum foil?
If baking in an oven, the foil can be used or not. If baking on a camp fire of fire place I say use the foil as it is in direct contact with the heat source. Or you may just rinse the sweet potato and bake in in the microwave after poking a few holes in it with a fork.
Can you use foil in a toaster oven?
