How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Do not use the oven if large areas of enamel have chipped exposing sharp edges or bare metal that could corrode severely.

  • 1. Stop abrasive cleaning: Avoid steel wool, metal scrapers, or harsh chemicals that damage enamel.
  • 2. Treat small spots: For minor rust, gently clean the area and apply a high-temperature enamel touch-up paint approved for ovens.
  • 3. Replace panels: If large interior panels are damaged, consult La Cornue about replacing the affected cavity liners.
  • 4. Prevent moisture: After cleaning, leave the door slightly open to allow the cavity to dry fully.
