Essential Tools and Materials

- Baking soda
- White vinegar
- Soft cloths or microfiber towels
- Spray bottle
- Oven cleaner (optional)

- Allow the oven to cool completely before cleaning.

Step-by-Step Cleaning Instructions
1. Prepare the Baking Soda Paste
In a small bowl, combine baking soda with a small amount of water to form a thick paste. The consistency should be similar to peanut butter.
2. Apply the Paste to the Glass
Using a soft cloth or sponge, apply the baking soda paste to the glass door. Spread it evenly, covering the entire surface.
3. Let the Paste Sit
Allow the baking soda paste to sit on the glass for at least 30 minutes. This will give it time to penetrate the grease and grime.
4. Wipe Off the Paste
After 30 minutes, use a clean, damp cloth to wipe away the baking soda paste. Be gentle and avoid scratching the glass.
5. Spray with White Vinegar (Optional)
For stubborn stains, spray white vinegar onto the glass and let it sit for a few minutes. The vinegar will help dissolve any remaining grease or grime.
6. Wipe Down with a Clean Cloth
Use a clean, damp cloth to wipe down the glass again. This will remove any remaining vinegar or baking soda residue.
7. Dry the Glass
Use a dry microfiber towel to dry the glass thoroughly. This will prevent streaks and water spots.
Using Oven Cleaner (Optional)
If the baking soda method is not sufficient, you can use an oven cleaner specifically designed for glass. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully:
- Spray the oven cleaner onto a clean cloth.
- Apply the cleaner to the glass, avoiding the edges or any metal parts.
- Let the cleaner sit for the recommended time.
- Wipe away the cleaner with a damp cloth.
- Rinse the glass thoroughly with water.
- Dry the glass with a clean microfiber towel.
Prevention Tips
To minimize the frequency of cleaning, consider the following prevention tips:
- Wipe down the glass after each use with a damp cloth.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners or sponges.
- Use a splatter guard to prevent food from splattering onto the glass.
- Clean the oven regularly to prevent grease and grime buildup.
Troubleshooting
- Streaks: Use a clean microfiber towel to dry the glass thoroughly. Avoid using paper towels, as they can leave lint.
- Water spots: If water spots persist, use a white vinegar solution (1:1 vinegar to water) to wipe down the glass.
- Stubborn stains: Repeat the cleaning process using a stronger oven cleaner. If the stain remains, contact Wolf customer support.
