A little tender loving care goes a long way when it comes to maintaining cookers in Birkenhead. A well-built oven should last for 10 or 20 years if it is cared for properly, so long as you take the time to choose a respected brand and style. Aside from making sure the appliance looks aesthetically clean, it’s important to maintain other components, such as the hob rings, grilling elements and heating elements. The maintenance regime will defer depending on the style but with the following tips, you can get the most out of your investment.
Continuous-Cleaning and Self-Cleaning Ovens
These ovens are the easiest to maintain because they do as they say – they clean themselves! Although they don’t get as dirty as conventional cookers in Birkenhead, there is some level of maintenance required to keep the appliances in tip top shape. Designed to work at 200 degrees Celsius, they should be heated to 220 degrees Celsius at least once a week to prevent the linings from getting clogged. By using warm water and a non-abrasive pad you can remove built-up dirt, before wiping out any residue that remains. Refrain from using chemicals when maintaining continuous-cleaning and self-cleaning ovens, as this can cause damage.
Conventional Ovens
Most homes are fitted with conventional cookers in Birkenhead. The linings and the oven doors can get quite dirty unless they are cleaned weekly. A paste cleaner or liquid should be used to dislodge grime but before you do this, fill a bowl with water and heat for 20 minutes at a high temperature. The steam from the water will loosen dried-on food, which you can then wipe away with a cloth. For stubborn dirt, use rubber gloves to apply a commercial cleaning product. A mixture of water and bicarbonate of soda will also work wonders to keep conventional ovens in good condition.
Racks and Oven Doors
Some basic tools will come in handy for cleaning the racks and doors on cookers in Birkenhead. Always clean the doors when they are cool and use a plastic scrapper to scrape off cooked-on deposits. If you own a cooker with removable glass, use biological washing powder to clean the surface. A nylon pad and strong oven pad will work best for heavier dirt, and washing up liquid can be used to clean glass oven doors and racks that are lightly soiled.
