To clean your oven, you will need to remove any burnt-on food or debris from the oven's interior. Here are the steps to clean your oven:
- Start by removing the oven racks and placing them in a sink or bathtub. Mix a solution of warm water and dish soap, and use it to scrub the racks clean. Rinse the racks thoroughly and set them aside to dry.
- Next, mix a solution of baking soda and water to create a thick paste. Use a sponge or scrub brush to apply the paste to the inside of the oven, including the walls, ceiling, and base. Be sure to avoid the heating elements, as they can be damaged by the baking soda.
- Let the paste sit in the oven for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, to allow it to break down any burnt-on food and grease.
- After the paste has had time to work, use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe away the paste and any debris that has been loosened. Be sure to scrub any stubborn areas with a scrub brush or scraper.
- Once the oven is clean, rinse it thoroughly with water to remove any remaining paste. Be sure to avoid the heating elements, and use a cloth or sponge to dry the oven completely.
- Finally, replace the oven racks and close the oven door.
It's also a good idea to clean the oven's heating elements and door seal. The heating elements can be cleaned with a scrub brush or scraper, and the door seal can be cleaned with a damp cloth or sponge. By cleaning the entire oven, including the heating elements and door seal, you can keep it running efficiently and prevent the buildup of grease and grime.
