How often should I clean my oven?

Clean your oven every 3 to 6 months, depending on use. Wipe up spills immediately after the oven cools to prevent baked-on residue. For a deeper clean, use the self-cleaning cycle or a non-toxic cleaner. Clean the oven door glass with a paste of baking soda and water for streak-free results.

Why It Matters

A clean oven operates more efficiently, produces better cooking results, and eliminates smoke and odors from burned food residue.
