### Extra Tips for Maintaining a Clean Oven Door
* **Clean regularly:** Don’t wait for grease to build up. Wipe down the oven door after each use to prevent tough grime.
* **Avoid harsh abrasives:** Steel wool or metal brushes can scratch the glass and damage the oven door.
* **Use a razor scraper carefully:** For burnt-on residue on the glass, gently use a razor blade scraper held at a 45-degree angle to avoid scratches.
* **Dry thoroughly:** Always dry the glass and door completely to avoid streaks and water spots.
