Range & Wall Oven - Streaks in Oven Window

When an oven is in bake, broil or self-clean, vapor or moisture formed goes through the door slots and between the window panes. The vapor carries with it grease from the foods and/or oven. When the vapor cools, the grease dries onto the glass and streaks may appear. Streaking may appear more often on convection models because of the continuous air flow. This is a normal occurrence.

Preventing Streaks from Occurring in an Oven Door Window

Wipe out the excess grease from the oven before any type of long baking, broiling or roasting period or before putting the range or oven through a self-clean cycle.

Removing Streaks from Within an Oven Door Window

If streaks have already appeared between the glass, you may be able to clean between the inner and outer door glass.

• The only way to remove streaks is by cleaning between the two panes of glass. Please check out our Range & Wall Oven - Cleaning Between the Oven Door Glass article for more details.
