How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not use the oven if large areas of metal are exposed or rust is flaking near elements.
- Clean and dry: Thoroughly clean the affected area and dry it completely.
- Touch-up (minor chips): For small chips away from elements, use a high-temperature enamel touch-up paint approved for ovens. Follow the product instructions and cure fully before use.
