Cleaning a Self-cleaning oven safely?
Comments (6)Yesterday I successfully cleaned my self-cleaning gas oven. First I bought two bottles of Easy Off Fume Free. During the day, I sprayed one interior wall at a time, closed the door for two hours, and when the two hours was up, I wiped out most of the greasy black gook. I did remove the oven racks. It took all day to do the six walls, but it looked presentable. I was especially pleased that the door was clean. Then around ten at night, I set the self-clean controls to run from midnight to 3 am. I locked the oven door and went to bed. One thing I also did was leave the range hood exhaust fan on for the night. My daughter came home after midnight and smelled fumes so she opened some windows. When I got up at 4 am (yes,I'm an early riser) I shut off the fan and looked inside. Just some gray dust on the walls, which was easily removed with some wet rags. I am so pleased. Yes, it might be "overkill", cleaning by both methods, but it worked for me. I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving with my almost-new looking oven!...See Morereplacement rack for Miele perfect clean oven
Comments (8)Gary, I'm officially inviting you over to my house so you can see for yourself how well my Miele oven works and all it does. That, I hope, will convince you to stop knocking the oven based on reports by people you don't know. It's especially true for the Perfect Clean ovens (not self-cleaning) which haven't reported the heating issues -- those were on self-clean models. And we haven't had those reports for some time. I do agree that not everyone needs a Wolf, Gaggenau or Miele oven. And I'll add that my DD's Kenmore ovens in their house (DSIL decided no 'fancy' appliances there) did a super job on my apple pie and self-cleaned perfectly after I made a mess with my high-heat chicken. But my Miele oven is excellent. I use it almost daily and in 6 years there hasn't been an issue. It cleans up beautifully, without self-clean, the rotisserie is a-m-a-z-i-n-g, and one setting requires no preheat -- I can start roasting in a cold oven and finish in regular time which, let me tell you, on Thanksgiving is a joy. I know how to cook and have certain things I want from an oven. I bake a lot of bread, which comes out great. And it does a wonderful job on pastries and cakes. So, while it may not be the oven for you, it certainly is for me and, I know, for trailrunner who also is a serious baker. I bought one of the glide-out racks a few years back. Someone on here snickered at me for paying $100 for it. It's been worth every penny. So please, Gary until you at least actually use a Miele oven, it seems a bit excessive to continually bash it. But thanks for the links to the Miele parts. They have an intriguing roasting pan that replaces the rack and fits directly on the oven sliders. I've not seen anything like that and even though it's expensive, I may get one as a Christmas present....See MoreMiele Oven - Perfect Clean Oven Racks
Comments (21)I have a Miele Masterchef H4881BP, which has Perfect Clean only on the racks and the roasting pan that slides into the racks. Nothing else has the perfect clean coating, per the manual, page 56. The rest of the oven can be wiped out regularly, but as I found from frequent roasting directly on the rack, that doesn't get it very clean. So, I use the Self Clean feature to cremate the cooked on mess after which it wipes out easy as pie! I do NOT leave my oven racks in while using the Self Clean function, although nothing in the manual says not to that I could find. The manual recommends cleaning the racks after roasting bc they can stain if food is cooked on repeatedly. I find them easy to clean using a non-stick cookware friendly scrubby, like a Dobie, and soap and hot water. The manual also says "if the oven is not cleaned regularly, debris may become extremely difficult to remove even with the Self Clean function." Bottom line, the Miele Perfect Clean ovens are the best of both worlds. Relatively easy cleaning roasting pan and racks AND self clean when you need to get the oven body really clean. Another cool feature, if you don't have time to self clean, or don't want to deal with the yucky smell from self cleaing, but you want to wipe the oven. The door comes off easily so it's easier to reach the inside of the oven! AND the rack glides unscrew without too much trouble as well!...See Morewolf oven glide racks
Comments (3)After doing a ton of shopping around we've decided to go with the wolf double wall ovens. We did consider the Dacor along with the miele, here is why we chose the Wolf. We also read the problems that Dacor was having and that is why we ruled it out. The real toss up was between the Miele and the Wolf. Being that he Miele didn't have a full pull bottom slide was big. We also didn't like the way the meat probe plug port was in the middle of the oven, Wolf's is up front and easily accessible. Not sure where the Dacor one is. We did like the Dacor and Miele for the "master chef" but we really think it's more of a thing that we wouldn't use. I know my microwave cooks popcorn better when I monitor it, rather than when it cooks it itself....See Moresf7307
