Step 1- Follow the oven-cleaning safety instructions
Step 2- Get several things ready ahead of time:
- A powerful oven cleaner (alkaline, adhering to the oven surface and capable of
removing carbon in cold action). - A Scotch-Brite pad.
- A Plastic scrapper.
- Paper-towel.
- Two pieces of cloth.
Step 3- Let's start cleaning the oven:
- Place a cloth or paper towel on the floor underneath the oven. It can get messy
later on.
- Remove oven trays, racks and rack supports and place them in the sink. Use a
plastic scraper (to prevent scratches) and a Scotch-Brite pad to remove food
leftovers. Cover them with the oven cleaner and leave in the sink.
- Use the scrapper and the Scotch-Brite to remove food leftovers from the oven
interior.
- Preheat the oven to 50°C/120°F. It will boost the oven cleaner performance
(Heating-up the oven further will boost the performance even further, but you take
the risk of possible burn injuries. Furthermore, the detergent might produce
unpleasant vapors in the kitchen).
- Open a window for ventilation.
- Disconnect the oven from the power supply.
- Apply the oven cleaner over the oven walls and door. Spread it using a soft brush
instead of spraying it all over. This is safer for you as well as for the oven parts
(see details in the safety instructions).
- Scrub the oven walls using Scotch-Brite to allow the oven cleaner penetrate the
burnt-on grease layer. Then, shut the oven door and wait.
- If you use a powerful oven cleaner (I usually use WellDone oven cleaner) you
should wait about 10 minutes to dissolve the baked-on grease (carbon). However,
if you use a soft oven cleaner (i.e. pH-balanced) like many of the domestic oven
cleaners, you will probably have to wait for several hours, and then scrub really
hard. Soft oven cleaners are often not suitable for removing baked-on fat.
- If you wait long enough after using the right oven cleaner, the carbon should melt
inside. Use the Scotch-Brite pad again all over the surface to remove the
remaining leftovers.
- Wipe down the grime using paper towels. If you still find carbon leftovers, use the
Scotch-Brite again to remove it.
- Finally, clean the oven using a hot damp cloth and leave the oven door open to
dry out.
- You may use a window cleaner to make the glass door shine.
- You may use stainless steel cleaner and polish over the oven exterior for extra
gloss.
- Wash the oven trays and racks, remove remaining leftovers using Scotch-Brite and
leave them to dry out.
Done!
