When it comes to ovens, homeowners often face a choice: freestanding or built-in. Many opt for the latter, assuming that their hidden exteriors translate to less cleaning. After all, without exposed sides and tops, surely they won’t accumulate as much grime, right?
Well, not quite.
The truth is, built-in ovens, despite their concealed design, still require regular maintenance. Since ovens, in general, are not typically included in monthly cleaning routines, they are often overlooked and more likely to accumulate significant dirt and grime over time.
So, how do you tackle this often-dreaded chore and keep your built-in oven in tip-top shape?

The secret to a sparkling oven lies in consistent upkeep. By simply establishing a cleaning routine, you can prevent grime build-up and make those dreaded deep cleans a thing of the past.
A quick wipe-down after each use, focusing on spills and splatters, is often more than enough to stop them from hardening into stubborn stains. Regular surface cleaning with a damp cloth also helps keep things tidy. For example, to keep the exterior of your oven looking its best, clean the stainless steel front regularly with warm, soapy water and a dishcloth, then dry it with a soft cloth. Remember, the longer you leave messes, the harder they are to remove, and the less efficient your oven becomes.
If wiping and scrubbing just isn’t your thing, then home kitchen appliances like the FUJIOH FV-EL62 Built-In Oven With Pyrolytic Self-Clean are a must-have—they incinerate baked-on food and grease for effortless cleaning.
A simple trick for making oven cleaning less of a hassle is to use oven liners or baking mats. These clever additions catch drips and spills, saving you from scrubbing the oven floor and racks every time. When it’s time to clean, simply remove and wash the liner or replace it with a fresh one.
But even with liners, specific components of your oven, like the racks and trays, will eventually need a deeper clean.
For instance, your racks and trays are workhorses that take the brunt of the mess, so be sure to give them some TLC. Take them out of the oven and give them a good soak in warm, soapy water. This will loosen any stubborn residue, making it easier to wipe away. Then, use a dishcloth or soft brush to gently scrub away any remaining residue. Make sure to rinse everything well and dry them thoroughly with a soft cloth before returning them to the oven.
When it comes to cleaning the inside of your oven, a simpler approach often works best. For cleaning the enamel surfaces and self-cleaning surfaces inside your oven, it’s always best to consult your oven’s manual for specific instructions. In most cases, a simple wipe-down with warm, soapy water and a dishcloth will effectively clean these surfaces.
If you’re wondering how to clean oven stains that have already set in, tackling these stains depends on the area of the oven you’re dealing with.
For oven accessories like racks and trays, do consult your user manual. For select oven accessories, a Astainless steel scouring pad can be used to remove heavy deposits of dirt. However, avoid using such abrasive materials on delicate surfaces like door panels and control panels as they may cause scratches and imperfections. Instead, clean these areas with a dishcloth and warm, soapy water, then dry them with a soft cloth.
If you’re dealing with heavy soiling on the glass cover of the interior lighting, consult your oven’s manual for specific cleaning instructions. In some cases, an oven cleaner may be recommended.
Even with regular cleaning, unwanted food smells can linger in your oven. Sure, some folks swear by DIY remedies like lemons or vinegar, but for a safer approach, simply leave the oven door slightly ajar after cooking to allow for proper ventilation and air circulation to help dissipate any lingering odours.
And when using your oven for the first time, you might notice an unusual smell. This is normal and due to the bonding agent used in the oven’s insulation. To eliminate this initial odour, try running the empty oven on the conventional cooking function at 250°C for 90 minutes. This will help to burn off any residual manufacturing oils and ensure your oven is ready for culinary creations.
If you’re lucky enough to have a self-cleaning oven, don’t hesitate to use it!
