Step-by-Step Cleaning Instructions
1. Safety First
- Disconnect the oven from the power source.
- Allow the oven to cool completely before cleaning.
- Wear gloves to protect your hands from cleaning solutions.
2. Regular Cleaning
- Exterior: Use a damp cloth with dish soap to wipe down the exterior surfaces of the oven.
- Glass Door: Spray Wolf Oven Cleaner onto a soft cloth and gently wipe the glass door. Rinse with a damp cloth.
- Control Panel: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the control panel. Never use harsh cleaners or abrasive sponges.
3. Self-Cleaning Cycle
- High-Temperature Cleaning: Activate the oven’s self-cleaning cycle. This high-heat cleaning process burns off food residue and grease.
- Low-Temperature Cleaning: Some Wolf M Series ovens offer a low-temperature self-cleaning cycle that uses steam to loosen soil.
4. Manual Cleaning (If Self-Cleaning Cycle is Unavailable)
- Interior: Mix baking soda with water to form a paste. Apply the paste to the oven interior and let it sit for several hours. Wipe away the paste with a damp cloth.
- Racks: Remove the oven racks and soak them in a solution of dish soap and warm water. Scrub them with a soft cloth and rinse thoroughly.
5. Cleaning the Convection Fan
- Removing the Fan: Locate the convection fan at the back of the oven. Remove the screws holding it in place and carefully lift it out.
- Cleaning the Fan: Use a soft cloth or brush to remove any dust or debris from the fan blades and housing.
6. Cleaning the Door Gasket
- Inspecting the Gasket: Check the door gasket for any tears or gaps. If damaged, it should be replaced to maintain the oven’s seal.
- Cleaning the Gasket: Use a damp cloth with dish soap to wipe down the gasket. Remove any food residue or grease.
7. Final Touches
- Wipe Down: Use a clean, damp cloth to wipe down all surfaces of the oven, including the exterior, interior, and door.
- Reconnect: Once the oven is completely dry, reconnect it to the power source.
Troubleshooting Common Cleaning Issues
