Identify the oven and read its manual
Check whether the appliance is gas or electric, conventional or self-cleaning, and note the approved cleaners, removable parts and precautions. Do not remove panels, burners, fans or door glass unless the manual gives a safe procedure.
Prepare the appliance
Switch the oven off and allow it to cool before manual cleaning. Remove racks or trays only as directed and protect nearby surfaces. Keep children and pets away from products and the work area, and ventilate as the cleaner label requires.
Clean accessible surfaces carefully
Use a product and tool approved for the cavity, racks and door glass. Follow label directions for application, contact time and rinsing. Keep liquid away from elements, vents, controls and seals unless expressly permitted. Never mix chemicals.
Use self-clean cycles only as directed
Cycle types and preparation steps vary. Follow the model manual for removing accessories, ventilation and cooling. Do not use liners or homemade mixtures unless the manufacturer permits them. For smoke, faults or damaged components, contact a qualified appliance technician.
