Identify the oven's cleaning system
Check the model label and manual to determine whether the oven uses a high-temperature cycle, steam-assisted cleaning or a continuous-cleaning surface. Do not assume temperatures, cycle lengths or results based on another appliance. If instructions are unavailable, contact the manufacturer or an authorised service provider.
Prepare only as the manual directs
The manual specifies which racks, liners, cookware and accessories must be removed, how the door locks and what ventilation is needed. Follow those directions exactly. Keep children and pets away, and do not operate the cycle if the door, seal or appliance appears damaged.
Allow cooling and clean permitted residue
Wait until the cycle has completed and the oven is cool before opening or wiping it. Use only methods and products permitted for the cavity, glass, racks and seals. Do not pour water into an oven or use abrasive pads, chemicals or a vacuum inside unless the manufacturer allows them.
Stop if there is a fault or unusual condition
Smoke, persistent unusual odour, error messages, a damaged seal or electrical concerns need attention under the manufacturer's troubleshooting guidance. Do not dismantle the appliance. Contact a qualified appliance technician for faults; cleaning advice cannot diagnose or repair the oven.
