How do you know when the oven is thoroughly rinsed?
If you are concerned with how well you have rinsed the oven, we recommend wiping it down with a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water. This will make it look and feel clean; however, when you first use the oven, you may get a little smell as everything left behind evaporates.

How soon can the oven be used after cleaning with EASY-OFF® Heavy Duty Oven Cleaner?
Immediately, but you might notice some steam or evaporation. Therefore, we recommend that you heat the oven to 300 degrees for 15 minutes before using. It is best to keep pets (especially birds) out of the room until smoke and fumes dissipate.

If the product gets on linoleum or other type of flooring, will it leave a permanent stain? Is there some recommendation for removal?
This is a caustic product and there is a warning statement on the label which cautions the user to put newspapers on the floor for protection. It is possible that if the problem is treated right away some of the "rust-like" stains will disappear. We recommend a watery paste of either Zud® or Comet® cleanser. Allow the pasty substance to remain on the affected area for 10-15 minutes, then wipe gently with paper towels to remove all residue. If neither product is immediately available, paper towels saturated with water may aid in removing the stain. Also, allow the wet towels to remain on the area for the same amount of time, then rinse continually for several applications.

Note: If used in a continuous-cleaning or microwave oven in error, we recommend rinsing the oven well with vinegar and water only to remove the product residue.

Additionally there is a possibility that the continuous-cleaning feature will no longer be functional. There will be no effect on food/cooking or baking after the oven is rinsed.

We suggest, either of the following: 1. Covering the electrical elements with foil while spraying the product. (Should any product accidentally come in contact with the heating elements, wipe it off with a damp sponge and allow to dry completely before heating the oven). 2. Since no heat is necessary, the electrical heating elements can be removed from the oven before cleaning. The plug area should be covered to avoid spraying where the heating elements are attached.

What will happen if some of the EASY-OFF® Cooktop Cleaner gets on the element?
If some product inadvertently gets on an electrical component, it shouldn't cause a problem. Simply wipe it off while cleaning and make sure it is dry before using the oven.
