How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Avoid ingesting enamel flakes. Do not use the oven at high temperatures if large areas of metal are exposed.

  • 1. Stop abrasive cleaning: Discontinue use of metal scrapers or harsh scouring pads.
  • 2. Clean loose debris: Gently remove loose enamel flakes with a soft brush or cloth.
  • 3. Assess damage: Small chips can often be monitored; large areas may rust or affect heat distribution.
  • 4. Contact Panasonic support: For significant enamel failure, consult Panasonic or an authorized service center. In many cases, the entire oven cavity or liner must be replaced; DIY repair paints are not recommended for high-heat food-contact areas.
