Oven Cleaning Tips
Special Offer: Free Oven Liner worth £9.99 with every oven cleaned!
Clean your oven once a week if you cook every day and every two weeks if you cook less frequently. Having a spanking clean oven helps keep your kitchen sweet-smelling and prevents your food from smelling of yesterday’s leftovers.
Cleaning the outside of the Oven
For stainless steel panels use a proprietary stainless steel cleaner. Remove finger marks with a soft cloth impregnated with baby oil or rinse aid.
- If your oven panel is glass, spray with a multi-surface kitchen cleaner.
- Soak grill pans, knobs and drip trays in hot, soapy water. Use a stiff brush to remove any burnt-on food residue.
Cleaning the inside of the Oven
- Your oven should be cleaned according to the type of linings or cleaning systems it has. Refer to your manual for specific direction.
- Enamel linings (untreated) should be cleaned using a proprietary oven cleaner.
- Always wear rubber gloves and make sure the kitchen is well ventilated.
- To remove baked-on food remnants, first prise off what you can with a blunt knife.
- Self-cleaning or catalytic lining: the oven sides are treated with a special vitreous enamel that absorbs grease. They ensure that fat and grease are burnt off and vaporized rather than being deposited on their surface. Heat the oven to a high temperature for about 30 minutes once a week for best results. Avoid detergents.
- Pyrolytic cleaning: Top of the range ovens have a built-in cleaning cycle. The empty oven is heated to a very high temperature for a specific period time. This turns the dirt to ashes, which can be brushed out easily when the oven is cool.
- Hydroclean system involves pouring water and detergent on the oven floor and heating the oven. The steam loosens dirt, which is wiped away.
- To make the oven easier to clean, put a bowl of water in the oven at a high temperature for about 20 minutes. The steam loosens the dirt, so simply wipe it away. another tip is to cover the floor and side panels of the oven with a thin paste of bicarbonate of soda and water. During cooking it dries to form a protective layer, which absorbs grease and can be wiped out easily afterwards.
