Understanding Self Cleaning
Self-cleaning is a feature that can be found in some ovens. It is a process that uses high temperatures to burn off any food and grease that may be present in the oven cavity. The heat generated is much higher than what is normally used when cooking. The process of self-cleaning can take several hours, but it is an effective way to keep your oven clean. Samsung ovens come with a self-cleaning feature, which is easy to use and requires minimal effort.
Preparing the Oven for Self Cleaning
Before beginning the self-cleaning process, there are some steps that need to be taken to ensure that the oven is prepared properly. First, make sure that the oven is empty and all racks, pans, and other items have been removed from the oven cavity. Once the oven is cleared out, wipe down the inside walls and door with a damp cloth to remove any loose food or grease. Once the oven is emptied and wiped down, the self-cleaning process can begin.
Activating Self Cleaning
To activate the self-cleaning process, press the self-clean button on the control panel. Depending on the model, this button may be labeled as “self-clean” or “clean”. Select the desired cleaning time and press the start button. The oven will begin to heat up to the required temperatures. During this time, it is best to leave the house as the oven will be emitting a strong odor.
Finishing the Self Clean Cycle
Once the self-cleaning cycle is complete, the oven will automatically cool down. When the oven has cooled, wipe down the inside walls and door with a damp cloth to remove any ash or residue that may have been left behind. You can also use a stainless steel cleaner or a degreaser to remove any stubborn stains. Make sure to use a soft cloth when cleaning the oven to avoid scratching the surface.
Cleaning the Oven Racks and Pans
After the oven has been self-cleaned, you will need to clean the oven racks and pans. If they are not too dirty, you can simply wipe them down with a damp cloth. If they are dirty or greasy, you can put them in a sink or bathtub with warm, soapy water and let them soak for a few hours. Once they are done soaking, you can scrub them with a sponge or scrub brush to remove any stuck-on food or grease.
Cleaning the Oven Door
The oven door can also be cleaned with a damp cloth. If there is any stubborn grease or grime, you can use a degreaser or stainless steel cleaner to remove it. Make sure to avoid using any abrasive cleaners on the oven door, as they can leave scratches. If you want to make sure that the oven door is thoroughly clean, you can use a soft toothbrush to scrub away any stuck-on dirt or grime.
Maintaining the Oven
After you have finished self-cleaning your oven, it is important to maintain it regularly. Wipe down the inside walls and door with a damp cloth after each use. If you notice any signs of grease or food build-up, it is best to clean it immediately. This will help to keep your oven clean and in good working condition.
Conclusion
Self-cleaning your Samsung oven is a simple process that requires minimal effort. Before beginning, make sure to empty the oven and wipe down the inside walls and door with a damp cloth. To activate the self-cleaning feature, press the self-clean button on the control panel and select the desired cleaning time. Once the self-cleaning cycle is complete, wipe down the inside walls and door with a damp cloth and clean the oven racks and pans. Maintain your oven regularly by wiping down the inside walls and door after each use. With regular maintenance and self-cleaning, your Samsung oven will remain clean and in good working condition.
