Oven cavity enamel is chipped or rusting, exposing metal underneath.

Safety: Do not use the oven if large areas of metal are exposed and rusting heavily near heating elements.

• Clean and dry: Thoroughly clean the affected area and dry it to stop further corrosion.
• Touch-up paint: Use only high-temperature, food-safe enamel touch-up paint recommended for ovens to cover small chips.
• Avoid abrasives: Switch to non-abrasive cleaners and soft cloths to prevent further damage.
• Severe damage: If rust is extensive or structural, consult Sharp or a technician; cavity replacement is usually not economical and may require oven replacement.
