To clean the oven glass door, use a non-abrasive cleaner or a mixture of baking soda and water. Apply the cleaner with a soft cloth or sponge and gently scrub the glass. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.

Can I use aluminum foil in my KitchenAid oven?

While aluminum foil can be used to line baking pans, it should not be used to line the oven bottom as it can interfere with heat distribution and air circulation, potentially damaging the oven.
