Holiday-Ready Range: Safe Cleaning Tips

Getting Your Range Holiday-Ready: Safe Cleaning Tips
Before the Season Begins

Knowing your kitchen is the heart of the home, and the holidays are just around the corner, it’s
important to make sure your range is ready to perform its best. A little maintenance now can
save you a lot of stress later!

Go the Safe Route: Natural Cleaning Options for Last Minute Cleaning

Instead of relying on self-clean mode, opt for a simple and effective natural cleaning method. A
mixture of baking soda, water, and white vinegar can do wonders for removing grease and
buildup without damaging your appliance. Apply the paste to tough spots, let it sit, and gently
wipe clean.
Before you begin, take a moment to review your appliance’s user manual or look up your model
online. Each range may have specific care recommendations or materials to avoid. Doing a little
research ensures you’re using the safest and most effective method for your specific appliance.

Don’t Make This Holiday Self-Cleaning Mistake!

Waiting until the last minute to clean your oven can lead to unexpected problems right when you
need it most. Using the self-clean function can cause the control board or other components to
overheat or fail- sometimes resulting in a completely dead range.

While ovens with self clean are designed to operate at high temperatures, like with any kind of
equipment, it can stress over heat the electronics. We recommend not using the self-cleaning
feature right before you'll depend on the oven to cook in.

Keep Your Kitchen Holiday-Ready

A clean, well-maintained range means fewer surprises and smoother cooking all season long.
Take time now to prepare your appliances so you can focus on what really matters — enjoying
great food and even better company. Let the cooking and baking begin!
