7. Use Caution with Self-Cleaning Mode
The self-cleaning feature heats the oven to extreme temperatures. If your oven has existing glass damage, it could trigger a break. Inspect your oven before using this mode.
🛠️ What to Do If It Happens
If your oven door does shatter:
Don’t touch the glass until it has completely cooled.
Carefully sweep up the small pieces using a broom and dustpan (not a vacuum).
Contact the manufacturer or a professional to inspect and replace the door panel.
Many ovens have warranties that cover glass failure, especially if it’s due to a defect.
🧠 Final Thoughts
While it may seem alarming, oven door shattering is preventable with proper care and awareness. Tempered glass is strong — but not invincible — so it’s important to treat it with care and attention.
By understanding the causes and taking a few safety steps, you can keep your kitchen running smoothly — and safely — for years to come.
Remember: A little caution today can prevent a costly (and dangerous) surprise tomorrow. 🔧🧼
