Tips To Help Maintain Your Ovens

1️⃣ Regular Cleaning:

• Wipe down the oven's interior after each use to remove spills and food residues. Use a non-abrasive cleaner to prevent damage to the oven's surfaces.
• Oven Racks: Remove the oven racks and clean them separately. Soaking them in warm, soapy water can help remove tough stains.

2️⃣ Door Gasket Inspection: Check the oven's door gasket for any damage or wear. A properly functioning gasket ensures a tight seal, which improves cooking efficiency and safety.

3️⃣ Cookware Placement: Use appropriate cookware and ensure there is enough space between pans to allow for proper airflow. Overcrowding can lead to uneven cooking and may strain the oven.

4️⃣ Temperature Calibration: Periodically check your oven's temperature accuracy using an oven thermometer. Calibrate it if necessary to ensure precise cooking temperatures.

5️⃣ Clean Under the Range Hood: Ensure the area beneath your range hood is clean to prevent grease and debris from falling into the oven.

6️⃣ Replace Oven Light Bulbs: If the oven's interior light burns out, replace it to monitor cooking progress without opening the oven door.

7️⃣ Ventilation Check: Ensure that the oven's ventilation system is functioning correctly to release hot air and prevent overheating.

8️⃣ Avoid Spills: Be cautious to avoid spills or food overflow in the oven, as these can lead to odors, smoke, and even fires. Use drip trays or foil to catch any potential spills.

9️⃣ Follow the Manufacturer's Instructions: Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines for proper oven use, cleaning, and maintenance to ensure optimal performance and safety.
