How to Restore a Crown Double Oven Stove

Remove as much of the hardware as possible from the oven. Lift each burner up and wiggle until the burner pops out of the stove. Remove the nickel trays under each burner and remove the oven racks from inside.

Fill cracks or chips on the outside of the double oven with enamel resin epoxy. Apply the epoxy to the damaged areas with a wood craft stick, using the stick to even out the epoxy and smooth it down. After the epoxy dries overnight, lightly sand with fine-grit sandpaper, making the epoxy blend with the surrounding oven.

Paint the outside of the oven with epoxy paint in a spray paint form. Wrap masking tape around the hardware or areas that you do not want painted. Spray a thin and even coat of the spray paint over all exterior surfaces of the oven. The paint covers any scratched areas.

Soak the burner trays in a solution of dish soap and warm water overnight. Scrub the trays with an old toothbrush, brushing off any debris or food trapped on the surface and sides. Rinse the trays under running water and dry with a soft cloth.

Place the stove burners and oven racks in a plastic garbage bag and carry outside. While wearing rubber gloves, pour one cup ammonia into the bag and immediately tie the bag closed. Let the bag sit outside overnight. The ammonia fumes slowly dislodge any trapped debris and remove baked-on grease. Wearing your rubber gloves, open the bag and remove each piece. Rinse with fresh water and let dry.

Pour distilled white vinegar into a spray bottle. Spray the vinegar on any component or hardware you remove from the oven, including edging pieces or stove knobs. Rub the vinegar onto the pieces with a soft cloth and let dry. Reattach the pieces once each one is completely dry.
