    That's something that I have researched intensely. What I have learned is that you need to take the door apart and if you do it yourself, you'll void your warranty. So of course, they want you to call a service professional over to do it for you (for a cost$).

  • @bmljenny
    @bmljenny 10 лет назад +3

    I keep the big bits off the bottom of my oven by using a non-stick oven liner across a rack on the lowest rack level which I never use anyway. It can withstand pretty high baking temps and is easy to remove and clean. If you had a major spill or blowup stuff would get past it but that hasn't been the case for me. The bottom of my oven still looks great. Obviously take it out before self-cleaning!

    One word of caution: do not use the self-cleaning feature if you have an under-counter oven and granite countertops. I actually broke my oven (a week before Thanksgiving) because it got too hot during the self-cleaning cycle (the repairman explained that the stone countertop held in the heat and caused the thermostat to blow).

      Hey Kelly, maybe you found something to clean your tile and grout and maybe you haven't. It's been 8 years. Early this year I found something that works phenomenal. Funny. The name of the product is The Works. They make a toilet bowl cleaner that works very well on tile and grout. After all it's for porcelain. Lowe's sells them for like $5 for two bottles. I usually put them in a pump sprayer and spray the grout lines. Wait a few minutes after the fizzing stops. Go over the grout lines with a course cleaning brush (handled preferably.) Spray again and wait 5 minutes. Rents well with a mop and hot water. I've gotten some of the worst floors 80% cleaned. Remember to reseal the grout. I recommend a product from Lowe's called 511 spray on grout sealer. Spray the grout lines and wait 5 minutes. Wipe with a clean towel. I hope this helps even though it's 8 years later.

    Should I do the oven "self-clean" during the winter when it's cooler instead of during the hot summer?

    Hi. Love your videos. I have 3 questions..... How do I clean the stone in my shower? What do I use to clean a really dirty white fiberglass shower tray? What do you use to clean and prevent soap scum on shower doors? Thanks so much!!

    I have this same stove in your video. I think I've definitely messed up and scrubbed the oven.
