Steam oven cleaning method

A method for cleaning a cavity of an oven having a steam generation device, comprising the following steps: (i) a step of mild detergent cleaning, comprising (i.1) a step of applying mild detergent to the oven cavity at a predetermined cavity starting temperature (T0), and subsequently (i.2) a step of incubating the oven cavity for a predetermined incubation period of time (Δtinc1) at a temperature Tact, (i.3) a step of applying steam generated by the steam generation device to the oven cavity for a steam period of time (Δtsteam1) until the oven cavity reaches a temperature T1, and subsequently incubating the oven cavity for an incubation period of time (Δtinc2) until the oven cavity reaches a temperature T2, and (i.4) a step of removing water and dirt from the oven cavity; and (ii) a step of steam cleaning, comprising (ii.1) a step of applying steam generated by the steam generation device to the oven cavity for a steam period of time (Δtsteam2) until the oven cavity reaches a temperature T3, and subsequently incubating the oven cavity for an incubation period of time (Δtinc3) until the oven cavity reaches a temperature T4, and (ii.2) a step of removing water and dirt from the oven cavity.
