Caring for your electrical cooking appliances
Taking care of your electric cooking appliances will ensure that they continue to work efficiently and last a long time.
Enamel areas
-
Wipe over while still warm with a damp, soapy cloth. Dry with a soft cloth.
-
Always wipe spills immediately so they do not dry or cook onto surfaces.
-
Use a liquid cleaner to remove stubborn marks and avoid scouring pads or powder, which can scratch enamels.
Control panel
-
Wipe over, and occasionally remove, and wash knobs.
-
Wipe off any build up on the panel.
Griller
-
Remove griller tray before cleaning.
-
Wash in hot, soapy water, using a fine, soapy steel-wool pad on heavily soiled areas.
-
Rinse and dry well.
-
Wipe out griller compartment with warm, soapy cloth.
-
Clean racks as for oven shelves.
Oven
There are 2 types of finishes — enamel and catalytic (self-cleaning). The catalytic surface is specially treated, so it requires care when using (see manufacturer's instructions).
-
It is easier to clean the oven while it is still warm, but not hot.
-
Remove shelves and other moveable parts and wash in a hot-water detergent solution.
-
More stubborn spillage may require the use of a commercial cleaner (see manufacturer's instructions).
-
Wipe over oven shelves, occasionally rubbing with a soapy fine steel-wool pad.
Glass areas
- Clean over with a hot, soapy cloth — remember most oven doors lift off for easy cleaning.
- Avoid soaking glass doors as it may damage the insulation.
