Honestly, we’ve moved every 3 years since we were married in 1989. I can’t remember ever cleaning one. I’ve just moved!😂😂

Do you have a self cleaner. I only cleaned my oven once. Used Easy Off.or something. Did not wear gloves. Some splattered on my sweatshirt and melted a hole in the shirt. Material melted on to my arm. Never used again. But it was my fault.Yavin4

It left a chalky residue in some spots. I need to get some vinegar to clean that up.

Congrats!

packed full of insulation to help hold the heat in during the clean cycle. But also when baking makes it much more efficient.

I thought you only needed to do that if they caught on fire. Learn something new every day on DU.
