Household appliances have average lifetime expectancies. Maintaining your appliances properly can extend their lifetime indefinitely.
If you have to do any kind of repair or maintenance on this unit, make sure to unplug it from the power supply.
Use a properly grounded outlet if this is not wired directly to your household power supply.
Use non-abrasive cleansers to clean finished exterior surfaces.
Clean exterior surfaces with warm water and soap with a splash of ammonia to cut grease.
Consult the owner’s manual for instructions on self-cleaning ovens.
When cleaning around switches and knobs, spray some cleanser on a cloth and then wipe the surfaces. Electric parts do not like any liquids.
Clean burner holes with a toothpick if they’re getting plugged. This will increase their efficiency.
The burner drip pans may get stained over time. Once stained, it’s very difficult to remove it. Some people like to replace the drip pans every two to three years.
Make sure to clean up any spills promptly. Something like tomato sauce, which is very acidic, can pit and corrode your drip pans and burner bowls.
Use regular oven cleaners as needed.
