How to clean a self-cleaning oven?

This type of oven can actually clean it self by producing high temperature to burn off the food and spills leftovers in the chamber. Unfortunately, you still need to clean the oven before and after operating the self-cleaning mode!

You will need:

- Scraper

- Micro fibre towel

1. First, open a window and turn on the hood for ventilation as it might produce unpleasant vapors during the self-cleaning cycle.

2. Remove oven trays, racks and rack supports before starting the self-cleaning mode as it might distorted or discolored by the intense heat. Place them in the sink and use a scraper to remove crude food leftovers and carbon. Spray or spread them with a good oven cleaner and leave it in the sink for 10-30 minutes. Then, wash it and remove remaining leftovers using the scraper and scourer pad and leave them to dry out.

3. Go back to your oven and try to wipe up spill leftovers using hot soapy damp cloth only. It is safer for the porcelain enamel coating and it will reduce smoke production during the self cleaning process. if needed, you may use a scraper gently to remove stubborn food leftovers and carbon. Don’t ever use rough scourer pad or oven cleaner inside the oven chamber as it might damage the oven special coating.

4. After you start the self-cleaning mode, the oven door should be automatically locked. The cleaning cycle usually takes 3-5 hours. Once the self-cleaning process is completed and the oven cools down, the lock will automatically reopen.

5. By now, the spills leftovers are reduced to a gray pile of ash. Wait until the oven cools down completely and use a soapy damp cloth all over the oven interior to wipe down the ash.

6. You may use a glass cleaner or glass wipes to make the oven glass shine. You may also use stainless still polisher or stainless steel cleaning cloth over the oven exterior for extra gloss.

Done.

What is self cleaning oven and how does it work?

Safety instruction for a self-cleaning oven:

1. Open a window and turn on the kitchen hood as smoke and fumes may be generated during the self-cleaning process.

2. Do not line the oven cavity with aluminum foil. It might melt on during the self-cleaning process and permanently damage the surface.

3. Never attempt to open the oven door during the self-cleaning cycle to prevent possible burn injuries. Once the oven cools down, the lock reopens, and you can use the oven as usual.

4. Never use oven cleaners, steel wool pads or wire-brushes inside as it might damage the special chamber pyrolytic coating.

5. If you own a bird, you should remove it away from the kitchen during the self-cleaning process. The fumes produced during this process are not harmful for people, but can be dangerous for birds!

1. It combines special interior pyrolytic coating with high temperature to burn off all the food and spills leftovers in the chamber without the use of any chemical agents.

2.The self-cleaning cycle usually takes a few hours (three to five hours) while the oven door remains locked until the high temperature cleaning process is completed. It might produce fumes during the cleaning cycle so you should keep the window open and the hood turned on. Once the oven cools down to about 300C/570F, the lock reopens. After completely cooling down, all you need to do is wipe away the ash leftovers using a damp cloth.
