Check the appliance before choosing a method
Identify the oven type, self-cleaning function, removable parts, glass and coatings. Follow the manufacturer's manual and product label; some products or abrasives can damage enamel, seals, coatings or glass.
Use a safe, label-led process
Switch off and cool the appliance before manual cleaning. Ventilate as the label directs, protect skin as instructed, and keep products away from controls, elements and gas parts. Never mix products or heat the oven to burn off cleaner unless the manual specifically directs a cycle.
Avoid unapproved home recipes
Vinegar, acids, bicarbonate, boiling water and abrasive tools may be unsuitable for some oven surfaces or components. Do not disassemble doors or remove parts without manufacturer instructions. Wipe or rinse only as the product and manual specify.
Know when to stop
Damaged coatings, faulty seals, gas or electrical issues and persistent residues may need technician or professional cleaning assessment. Cleaning does not repair the oven or guarantee removal of every mark.
