EASY OVEN CLEANING While cleaning the oven is not something many people look forward to, it is important to know that it doesn’t have to be a difficult task and will help maintain the appliance. Additionally, the longer this chore is put off, the more difficult a task this can be. The ovens here at Gramercy Villas all have a Self-Clean feature on them, which allows the oven to do the work instead of you. If you are not sure on how to operate this feature on your oven, please stop by the office and we can set up a time to come by and show you how to get it going.
