Check the appliance before choosing a method
Identify the oven model and confirm which products, racks, liners, glass, seals and self-clean features are permitted. Do not assume baking soda, vinegar, lemon steam, dishwasher tablets or a commercial cleaner suit every surface.
Avoid dangerous chemical mixtures
Never combine ammonia, bleach, vinegar, oven cleaner or another product. Do not use an overnight ammonia method or put detergents and dryer sheets inside an oven. Follow labels for ventilation, protective equipment, application and rinsing.
Let the oven cool and use approved tools
Switch off the oven and let it cool before manual cleaning. Use only non-abrasive tools and products allowed by the manufacturer. Do not scrape glass with an unapproved tool, spray heating elements or block vents with a liner.
Know when to stop
If there is an unusual odour, smoke, damaged coating, error message or electrical concern, follow the manual and contact an appropriately qualified technician. Cleaning does not repair an appliance or guarantee energy savings, cooking performance or food safety.
