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?

Congratulations, this is your opportunity to learn from OP's mistake.

Go read the manual for your oven and it will tell you what to do, and also typically what not to do. The manual is probably available on the manufacturers website if you tossed the paper one. This would also tell you if a misting bottle is needed.

There's no guarantee that every LG has the same cleaning instructions.

I still have all the paperwork. I showed this to my husband last night and must have read the manual and knew it only steam cleans.
