Often overlooked yet endlessly relied upon, your built-in oven plays a vital role in your kitchen’s daily rhythm. With the right care, it continues to deliver precision performance and peace of mind, meal after meal.
Regular upkeep is essential to keep your oven performing at its best and looking pristine. Your kitchen appliance will remain efficient, safe, and reliable for years to come with a little effort.
Here’s a look at why regular built-in oven cleaning and maintenance is so important.
How many of us only think about cleaning the oven when smoke starts rising or an odd smell drifts through the kitchen? It’s easy to forget just how much work our ovens do behind the scenes until they remind us.
But the truth is, consistent maintenance goes far beyond keeping things looking tidy. It helps your oven perform at its peak, cooking more evenly and efficiently. Such maintenance means better heat distribution, reduced cooking time, and ultimately, more consistent results in everything from weeknight dinners to weekend bakes.
A well-maintained oven also consumes less energy, helping you save on electricity while reducing your environmental footprint. More importantly, regular cleaning removes grease and food buildup that can lead to unpleasant odors, smoke, or even potential fire hazards.
For families, it’s about peace of mind. A clean oven reduces the risk of smoke inhalation, carbon buildup, and contamination. Every meal becomes safer and healthier for the people you care about the most.
And if you’ve invested in a quality kitchen appliance like the Fujioh FV-EL62, giving it the right care will help preserve its premium features and prolong its lifespan. Built for durability, these ovens will maintain their sleek look and high performance for years with regular care.
So, where do you begin? Here’s a simple, step-by-step cleaning guide to help you maintain your built-in oven with ease.
Before you begin cleaning, always prioritise safety.. Always turn off the oven at the power source and allow it to cool down completely. Attempting to clean a hot oven is not only hazardous but also less effective, as cleaning agents may evaporate too quickly or react with heat in unpredictable ways.
Take out all trays, racks, and detachable components. Soak them in warm, soapy water to help loosen grease, stains, and any baked-on food particles. This step not only makes these items easier to clean but also allows you to reach all areas of the oven’s interior more easily.
Use a baking soda paste and water or a non-abrasive oven cleaner to tackle stubborn stains and grease. Focus on areas where food residue tends to accumulate, such as the oven floor and corners. For added convenience, the FUJIOH FV-EL62 is equipped with a pyrolytic self-clean function that heats the oven’s temperature up to 445°C, incinerates food residues and grease, which can provide a swift wipe-cleaning experience. This feature significantly reduces the need to manually scrub away tough messes. It’s a powerful time-saver, especially for those who frequently cook or bake.
Spray white vinegar or gentle glass cleaner onto the oven door and wipe away the grime with a microfiber cloth or a damp sponge. Be sure to wipe along the edges, where grease often builds up unnoticed. The FUJIOH FV-EL62 comes with a 4-layered glass door designed not only for safety—by minimising heat transfer to the outer surface—but also for ease of maintenance, as its smooth surface simplifies cleaning.
Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to gently clean the control panel, knobs, and the oven’s exterior surfaces. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, which can scratch or damage the oven’s finish. Regular wipe-downs keep your oven’s sleek, polished appearance and prolong its lifespan.
Before putting trays and racks back into the oven, ensure all components are completely dry to prevent rust or mould growth. Reassemble everything carefully, checking that each part is correctly positioned. Once everything is in place, the oven will be ready for safe, efficient, and hygienic use.

Q: How often should I clean my oven if I cook daily?
A: If you’re using your oven every day, especially for grilling or roasting, a quick wipe-down after each use and a deeper oven-cleaning session every 2–4 weeks is ideal.
Q: Is the oven safe to use in Malaysia’s humid climate?
A: Yes. Fujioh ovens are built with durable materials and safety mechanisms suited for various climates. However, keeping the oven dry after cleaning and ensuring good ventilation in your kitchen helps maintain its performance in humid conditions.
Q: What if I cook a lot of spicy or oily foods like rendang or ayam percik?
A: These flavorful dishes can cause more splatter and residue. Use covered cookware when possible and clean up spills immediately after the oven cools. The Pyrolytic Self-Clean feature is especially useful after heavy or oily meals to handle tough stains and grime over time.
Q: Can I use an oven liner to make cleaning easier? Will it affect my oven?
A: While oven liners can catch drips and make wiping down the oven racks and trays, or base, easier, exercise caution. Cheap liners or foil placed directly on the oven floor can accumulate grease, block heat circulation, and potentially damage the enamel coating or heating elements due to the high temperature. Always check your user manual first. For easier cleaning of the oven door and interior, focus on immediate wipe-ups and regular pyrolytic cleaning cycles. Such maintenance is the safest way to keep the inside of your oven in top condition and like new.
Q: After using the pyrolytic self-clean cycle, there’s some ash left inside the oven. Is this normal, and how do I clean it?
A: Yes, this behavior is completely normal! The pyrolytic cleaning cycle works by heating the inside of the oven to an extremely high temperature (around 445°C), which turns baked-on grease, grime, and food residues into fine ash. Once the oven is completely cool after the cleaning cycle, simply use a damp cloth or sponge with warm water to wipe away the residual ash from the oven floor, walls, and the oven racks and trays. This quick step leaves your oven sparkling clean and helps extend the life of your appliance. Avoid using harsh scourers, as the ash can be wiped away easily.
