Oven enamel is flaking or rust spots appear inside the cavity.

Safety first: Ensure the oven is cool and disconnected before cleaning or inspecting.

• Stop abrasive cleaning: Do not use metal scrapers or wire wool on enamel surfaces.
• Clean and dry: Remove loose flakes and clean the area with mild detergent. Dry thoroughly.
• Touch-up (cosmetic): For small chips, high-temperature enamel touch-up paint can be used, following the product instructions. This is cosmetic and not structural.
• Assess severity: If large areas of enamel are missing or metal is heavily corroded, consult a technician; cavity replacement is often not economical and may require oven replacement.
