Clean and Replace Filters
It’s imperative to clean or switch out these filters regularly, as they trap grease, smoke and odors. To keep it actually working clean with soapy water, or switch out your charcoal filters.
Clean Gas Burners
If a burner is clogged, don’t ignore it. Simply take a pin and clean the ports to keep them in working order. However, don’t use a toothpick as it could break off into the hole and cause an obstruction.
Check the Oven Gasket Door Seal
The gasket, or door seal, is exposed to a large amount of heat. If it is not sealing properly, heat will leak out and you will end up heating your kitchen, not your oven. So, make sure to check for cracks or frays and clean them regularly.
Clean Messes Up Right Away
When you spill something, especially under the burner, sometimes we tend to just let it sit. This is a bad habit, and by doing this you could damage the finish of your range. After the range cools, clean the mess up using warm, soapy water to prevent any harm to your cook top.
With these tips, you are on the to an efficient and productive range. As long as you follow everything above, your range will live a long and healthy life.
