Clean the Interior: Use an oven cleaner or a paste made from baking soda and water. Apply it to the interior surfaces and let it sit for a few hours or overnight. Wipe clean with a damp cloth. For a spotless finish, leave it to Pam And A Bucket.
Check the Door Seal: Ensure the door seal is intact and free from any debris. A worn or damaged seal can affect the oven’s efficiency. Pam And A Bucket can inspect and replace these seals for optimal performance.
