Tip: Avoid unnecessary splattering by covering dishes with wax paper or a paper towel. If the oven does not have a removable glass shelf, a plate or paper towel placed under the food (such as a baked potato) can keep it cleaner. Wipe up spills soon after they occur. Wash regularly with a mild detergent and water. Rinse and wipe dry with a paper towel or clean cloth. Give special attention to cleaning around the edge of the door and the door opening to prevent soil buildup which could prevent the door from closing tightly. If a spill is seems dried on, boil water in a glass cup a few minutes and then leave it in the oven for 5 minutes – the steam will help to loosen the soil – then wipe dry. To help eliminate odors, clean the interior with a solution of 1 tablespoon baking soda to 1 cup warm water, then rinse and dry. Alternately, you can mix 1 part lemon juice to 3 parts water in a large glass cup and boil for 3-5 minutes. After it cools, remove the water and wipe dry. Never use abrasive pads or powders on the oven. The owner’s manual may have additional directions for care that are specific to your appliance.

Tip: Garbage disposals have become fairly common in today’s kitchens. They are a great convenience when they’re working right and smelling good. To keep them running great, here are some things you can do… Turn the water on before you start the disposal and turn it off only after the unit has stopped – this […]
Tip: Range hoods and fans remove grease and moisture from cooking, and thus collect dirt that needs regular cleaning. Exposed metal inside and out should be washed frequently with a solution of warm water and a light detergent. If very greasy, use ammonia and water and then rinse. Never use abrasive pads or scouring powders […]
Tip: Get in the habit of wiping down the range top regularly – a clean surface prevents scratches and stops acidic food from eating away at the appliance finish.
