1 Prepare for safe work

Ventilate the room, put on gloves, and test the cleaner on a hidden area first. Do not mix products and protect children, pets, textiles, and sensitive surfaces.

⚠ Warning: Do not apply the cleaner to the heating elements, catalytic liners, or fan unless the manufacturer allows it. Do not mix products.

2 Remove grates and crumbs

On a cold and switched-off oven, remove the accessories, vacuum dry residues, and protect the fan, heating elements, and openings according to instructions.

3 Soften deposits

Apply a cleaner approved for the type of enamel only to the permitted surfaces. Leave for the time stated on the label and do not allow it to drip into the insulation.

4 Wipe several times with clean water

Lift the softened deposit with a plastic scraper, then repeat wiping until the residue and smell of the cleaner disappear.

? Tip: Photograph the initial state and change only one thing at a time. This makes it easier to know which check really affected the problem.

5 Assemble, test, and set a boundary

Remove cleaner residue according to instructions, dry the surface, and inspect it in daylight. If the stain, odor, or moisture returns quickly, search for the source of the problem instead of repeating a stronger treatment.
