Identify the oven and permitted surfaces
Find the model number and consult the manual for cleaning products, removable parts, self-clean instructions and surfaces that must not be treated. Do not assume that vinegar, baking soda, abrasive pads or commercial oven cleaner is suitable for every finish.
Prepare the appliance
Switch the oven off and let it cool fully before manual cleaning. Remove racks or accessories only as directed. Protect nearby flooring and keep children and pets away from products and the work area. Do not dismantle the door, reach near electrical parts or clean between door panels unless the manufacturer explains a safe method.
Clean the cavity and racks as directed
Use a compatible product according to its label, with ventilation and protective equipment as instructed. Do not spray elements, fans, seals, vents or controls unless the manual and product label allow it. Clean racks separately only with a permitted method, then rinse or dry as specified.
Use self-clean features carefully
Pyrolytic and steam-assisted cycles differ by model. Follow preparation, ventilation, accessory removal, cooling and residue-removal instructions exactly. Do not line the oven floor or block vents unless the manufacturer permits it. Contact an appliance technician for faults or damaged components.
