I had a food spill in my oven — what should I do?

For Electric Ovens:

1. Clean up the excess of the spill.
2. Remove oven racks and clean them by hand (hot soapy water or a baking‑soda paste). This includes both left and right rack glides.
3. Use a hot, wet towel to wipe out large food debris. Do not scrape or use abrasives.
4. Start a self-cleaning cycle. The cycle takes about 4 hours.
5. Once cool, wipe out the ash with a hot, wet towel.
6. If residue remains, you may run another Self‑Clean cycle. Note: it’s normal for porcelain to feel slightly rough after the first clean — this is caused by expansion and contraction during high heat.

For Gas Ovens:

1. Porcelain will not stay looking perfect or feel smooth forever. Wolf recommends using a mild abrasive cleaner or spray degreaser and a sharp, straight razor blade to gently lift baked‑on food.
2. Wash the entire cavity with soap and water afterward to remove all cleaning chemicals.
