How do you get stains out of a convection oven?

CNET recommends that you make a paste of 3 parts baking soda and 1-part water and apply it to any stubborn stains or burned drips of oily sauces on the bottom of the oven’s interior. You can spray the areas with a mix of 1-part each of water and vinegar to further accelerate the grease-removal process.

Place a tablespoon or two of vinegar or a lemon (cut into slices or halves) in a small bowl of water. Place the bowl in the microwave and run it on high for three minutes, or until the water is boiling. Leave the door closed for five minutes to let the steam loosen the residue.

Oven racks and rack guides are dishwasher safe. Wash solid and perforated stainless steel pans by hand with soap and water. Water marks and calcium build-up can be removed using a standard descaling solution. Wipe with a cloth and water.

Fill half of your maker’s water reservoir with water. Add white vinegar until you fill the entire tank. It’s basically a 50/50 solution. Stir and start your decalcifying cycle.

Since Steam Clean doesn’t involve chemicals or high heat, you can actually leave the racks inside. You don’t even have to lock the door! First wipe away any excess grease and soils from the cool oven.

Vinegar may damage the unit and will not descale the unit as well as the descaling solution. The descaling solution helps to protect against corrosion. Vinegar does not provide this protection.

Remove food residue and drippings from the tray and outflow in the oven chamber. Spray an OEM recommended cleaning agent on the tray and outflow. Once it has taken effect, rinse thoroughly with a hand shower. Remove white water deposits from the inside of the oven chamber with vinegar and a soft cloth.

A convection microwave oven usually has stainless steel interiors, which can make cleaning difficult. Cooking fatty or greasy foods can cause the oil to splash on the interior walls of the oven, baking these splotches over time and making them hard to remove.
