How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety note: Exposed metal can rust and may eventually perforate. Severe damage may require cavity replacement, which is often uneconomical.

  • 1. Clean and dry: Thoroughly clean the affected area and dry completely.
  • 2. Remove loose enamel: Gently scrape away any loose or flaking enamel with a plastic scraper.
  • 3. Apply high-temperature enamel repair: Use a food-safe, high-temperature enamel repair kit suitable for ovens. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for curing.
  • 4. Prevent recurrence: Avoid harsh abrasives and promptly clean spills. If rust is extensive or holes are present, consult a technician; replacement of the oven may be more cost-effective.
