How to Maintain and Protect Your Wall Oven

Your wall oven offers ergonomic convenience and high-end performance, but hidden grease can eventually impact its lifespan. Here is how to protect your cabinetry and your culinary results with a few simple steps:

• Respect the Cooling Fan: You might hear a fan humming even after you turn the oven off. This is completely normal! Wall ovens use a special cooling fan to protect the electronics and surrounding cabinets from heat. Let it run until it stops automatically.
• Keep the View Clear: Since your oven is at eye level, grease splatters on the window are easier to see—and easier to clean. Wipe the glass regularly with a vinegar-water mix so you can monitor your food without opening the door and letting heat escape.

• Skip the Foil: It’s tempting to line the bottom of the oven to catch spills, but this can block airflow and damage the hidden heating elements. Instead, place a baking sheet on the rack below your dish to catch any drips.
