Identify the model and read its manual
Check the manufacturer's instructions before removing racks, side supports, door glass or other components. Do not assume a self-clean cycle, steam function or removable part is the same across models.
Let the oven cool and prepare the area
Switch the appliance off and wait until it is fully cool. Remove loose food only from accessible areas and protect nearby flooring from drips. Do not touch wiring, heating elements, gas fittings or damaged components.
Use a compatible product as labelled
Select only a product the manual permits for the oven's interior and finish. Follow its directions, ventilate as instructed and never combine cleaners. Test only where the manufacturer allows; stop if a coating, seal or glass changes.
Leave faults and difficult parts to the right professional
Cleaning does not repair hinges, elements, controls, gas or electrical faults, or permanent surface damage. If a component is stuck, cracked or unsafe to access, do not force it; contact the appliance maker or a qualified technician.
