Cleaning a non-self-cleaning oven can be a bit of a task, but it is important to keep the oven clean to maintain its efficiency and prevent any potential health hazards. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to clean your oven safely:
  1. Remove the oven racks and any other removable parts, such as the burner grates or the drip pans. Place them in a sink or a large basin filled with warm soapy water to soak.
  2. Turn off the oven and let it cool down. Once it is cool, use a damp cloth or a sponge to wipe down the inside of the oven. Be sure to remove any loose debris, such as crumbs or spills, from the bottom of the oven.
  3. Create a cleaning solution of warm water and a mild detergent or baking soda. You can also use a store-bought oven cleaner, but be sure to read the instructions and precautions before using it.
  4. Use a sponge or a cleaning cloth to apply the cleaning solution to the inside of the oven, including the door and the door gasket. Be sure to get into all the nooks and crannies, such as the corners and the crevices around the heating elements.
  5. Let the cleaning solution sit for at least 15 minutes to allow it to break down any tough stains or grime.
  6. Scrub the oven with a stiff brush or a scouring pad to remove any stubborn stains or grime. Be sure to use a non-abrasive brush or pad to avoid damaging the oven's surface.
  7. Rinse the inside of the oven with a clean, damp cloth to remove any remaining cleaning solution or debris.
  8. Once the oven is clean, take out the removable parts you soaked earlier and give them a good scrub. Rinse them off and dry them before placing them back in the oven.
  9. Wipe down the oven's exterior with a damp cloth and dry it thoroughly.

It's important to note that, before cleaning, check your oven's manual for any specific cleaning instructions or warnings, as some ovens have certain materials or finishes that may require a specific cleaning method or cleaning products.

Also, make sure that the oven is completely cool before you start cleaning and be careful not to use any abrasive materials or chemicals that may damage the oven's surface or cause a fire hazard.
