How to take care of your oven/stove

Kitchen appliances such as oven and stove should be handled with great care since a malfunction in the appliances as such would lead to unforeseen casualties that could lead to big budget to fix or worse, hurting one self. Appliance Repair Santa Monica has outlined these advices below to follow so that you can prevent these unwanted cases:
 
Oven Use & Care Tips

1. Make sure the oven is grounded. Do not use any extension cords or adapters. Do not remove the ground prong. The oven should be plugged into an outlet that doesn't have any other appliances plugged in to prevent your circuit breaker from tripping.
   
   
2. Styrofoam, plastic and paper are not safe to use inside the oven.
   
   
3. Covering the crumb tray with foil could prevent air from circulating, thus overheating the unit.
4. Never use strong, harsh solutions to clean the appliance.
5. Clean up spills and food to prevent buildup and insects.
6. When leaving the house, double check that the oven isn't on the cleaning setting and that it is completely off.

Stove / Range Use & Care Tips

1. After the burner is completely cool, clean drip pans right after using your appliance.
2. Use a toothpick or small, soft brush to clean the gas ports of the burner.
   
   
3. Foil can catch waste that could otherwise be difficult to clean. Replace drip pans when they are old.
   
   
4. You can use cooking top cleaners to clean the glass parts of the stove. Soap and water can clean knobs. A wet cloth can clean off displays and clocks. Before use, let everything dry off. Do not apply glass cleaner straight onto the surface of the appliance.
   
   
5. Glass tops are fragile, so be careful with heavy objects and avoid placing them on the top.
   
6. Cracks in glass tops are hazardous and can cause fires. Seek a professional.
   
   
7. Do not try to remove sealed stove top burners. It could be sealed to protect the burner box from any spills.
