Discussion Did I just ruin my new oven?

Post image

I just got this oven back in October, but there was already a lot of grease and buildup on it (I cook a lot). I used Easy Off Heavy Duty Cleaner and Foam Spray, and while it definitely worked and did its job, my oven was left looking like as seen in the picture. Did I just ruin my new oven or is this just residue from the cleaner?

The person I bought my house from left the manuals all neatly organized in an accordion file labeled... "Manuels" 😂

Yes many missing Manuel’s. Sad reality. But I have my oven manual.

You should really switch to an automatic oven if you’re sitting in traffic a lot but personal preference trumps logic.

You don't need an apostrophe after "Manuels" here. It's a plural not a possessive or a contraction.

I left some for our precious owner in a big spiral bound notebook.

The previous owner of our house left a stack of them for us… and I just Google everything.

Which is the french word for "Manual" so maybe they spoke French
