CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
STEP 1: PREVENT BOIL-OVERS
 When Cooking use pots and pans that are deep enough to prevent boil-over and
splattering. Minimizing spillage will reduce cleanup work and help prolong the life of
your stove

STEP 2: CLEAN SPILLS QUICKLY


 Cooking spills are invetable. The good news is you can whisk away virtually any spill
with a damp sponge or paper towel if you get it while its still warm. So get in the habit of
wiping down your stovetop after every use-your stove will gleam like new for decades,
and youll save yourselfplenty of scrubbing
STEP 3: USE ELBOW GREASE NOT ABRASIVES
 Of course,humans nature will prevail andonce in a while you wont wipe up stovetop
spills right away. If a spill has a chance to dry out and cook for a while use a sponge
along with a solution of dishwashing liquid and warm water or a 50-50 solution of
vinegar and warm water
STEP 4: CLEAN THE STOVE PARTS REGULARLY
 In addition to an after use wipe down, periodical give your stove parts a more extensive
cleaning. Wash the burner drip plates and removableaccessories ( but not electric burner
coils ) either by hand in the sink or by running them with your nexts dishwasher load ( if
the owners manual for your stove says theys are dishwashser safe.
STEP 5: CLEAN UNDER THE HOOD
 If yourstove doesn’t have a sealed cooktop, food and grease will fall down under the
burners . its easy to forget about this out of view debris, so remember lift the cooktop to
clean beanth it.
STEP 6: CLEAN THAT GRIMY OVEN WINDOW
 Oven windows tend to become so dirty we cant even tell whats in there, let alone
wheather its done cooking .
SAFETY WARNINGS
PURCHASING A STOVE TOP & OVEN:
 Make sure it has the label of an independent testing lab.
 Register your oven either online or with the provided card. This allows the manufacturer to
contact you about recalls or potential dangers.
 Be sure that your oven is installed properly, with safe clearance from the hood and proper wiring.
 Consider installing "after market" safety devices, especially if small children are in your
household. 
o Stove Knob Stops
o Stove Locking Straps
o Stove Safety Guards
 

USING YOUR STOVE TOP & OVEN:


 Never leave cooking unattended.
 Keep it clean. Food particles and grease residue can ignite and cause a fire.
 Create a “Kid-Free Zone” that children are aware they are not allowed to enter.
 Check for body safety.
o Tie back long hair.
o Roll up long sleeves.
o Remove loose jewelry.
o Be sure footwear is non-slip.
 Before each use, do an oven safety check.
o Be sure you do not smell gas leaking from a gas stove.If you do, open a window and
leave the room.
o Make sure there is nothing in the oven. An oven should never be used for storage.
o Make sure that there are no food particles or grease residue on the stove top.
o Position your oven racks before pre-heating to prevent scalding.
 Be sure to follow safety guidelines when using stove top burners.
o Use burners on the back as much as possible.
o Never use a pot that is too small or big for the burner.
o Never leave a burner on that does not have a filled pot or pan on it.
o Do not leave an empty pan on a hot burners.
o Turn all pot and pan handles inwards. They can be pulled and knocked over when they
are turned out.
 Close the oven door immediately after removing or testing food.
 Keep oven mitts and other cloth and paper out of the way of the burners.
 Use oven mitts and oven sticks to remove pots and pans from the stove top or oven.
 Keep a fire extinguisher, baking soda and metal lids nearby to put out fires quickly.

IN CASE OF FIRE:
 Never use water on a grease fire.
 If it is small in the pan, throw baking soda on top of it or cover it with a metal lid.
 Never use flour or fan the flames with a towel.
 Use an ABC rated dry chemical extinguisher. Be sure it is placed next to an exit so that you can
back out of the kitchen and home if the fire becomes uncontrollable.
 If it is too big to smother with a lid or put out with an extinguisher, turn off the burner, move the
pan off the burner if you are able to, and evacuate the house.
 If it is in the oven, keep the door closed and turn off the heating element.
 Do not remove a lid or open the oven door until the pot or pan has completely cooled.
 Before trying to fight a fire, be sure to evacuate everyone from the home.
 Turn off the burners or oven.

USING YOUR STOVE


1. Do a body safety check before turning on your gas stove. To prevent any fires while
using your gas stove, roll up your shirt sleeves above the elbow and tie back long hair
with a rubber band. If you have any jewelry on, remove it before starting the stove.[1]
 If you're wearing footwear, make sure it is nonslip to prevent cooking accidents.

2. Turn the stove dial on to light the stove. Most gas stoves are equipped with a dial that
lights the burner. You can usually adjust the heat to low, medium, and high depending on
what you're using the stove for. Twist the dial and wait for the burner to light, then adjust
it to your desired heat setting.
 In some cases, the fire may not light right away. This is common in old stoves and is nothing to
worry about—try turning the stove dial on again until the burner lights.

3. Try cleaning your burner holes and igniter if it does not light immediately. If your
burner is clogged with food residue, it may not light automatically. Clean the burner and
the igniter with a stiff toothbrush (without water or cleaning solutions) to remove any
grease or crumbs.[2]
 Use a needle to get food out of hard-to-reach places, like the burner holes.
 Call a home repairman if cleaning your burner does not seem to help. Your igniter may be broken
and need replacement.

4. Light the gas stove manually as an alternative. If your gas stove igniter is broken,
most gas stoves can be lit with a match or lighter. Turn the gas dial to medium, then
ignite your match or lighter. Hold the match or lighter close to the center of the burner,
then wait 3-5 seconds until the burner ignites. Remove your hand quickly to prevent
getting burned.[3]
For the safest option, use a long-handled lighter. Long-handled lighters can be found at most craft
or hardware stores.
If you have never lit a gas stove before or seen someone else do it, you may not want to do it on
your own. Lighting a gas stove manually can be dangerous if you have never done it before.

5. Check your stove's pilot light if it is an older model. Most older gas stoves are
equipped with pilot lights, which stay on constantly even if the stove is off. Check with
your stove manufacturer to see if your stove has a pilot light. For models with a pilot light,
remove the burner grates from your stove and open the cooktop panel. The pilot light
should be a small flame located directly below the stove panels.
 If the pilot light is out and you can smell sulfur, leave your home and call emergency services, as
your stove may be leaking gas into the home
6. Always keep your stove attended when it's on. When cooking with your gas stove, never
leave the room. A fire can start within seconds if your food is left unattended, and it is
important to keep your burners in sight at all times

7. Use your gas stove for cooking only. Gas stoves are made to be used only for cooking
food. Never use your stove for heating your home, as keeping the stove lit for extended
amounts of time increases the likelihood of a gas leak. If you have a gas oven, it also
should not be used for heating rooms .

8. Watch for a hissing sound or the smell of natural gas. If you smell a sulfurous, "rotten
egg" odor or hear a hissing sound coming from your stove, exit your home immediately
and call emergency services. Your stove may be leaking natural gas, which can be
deadly if it is not fixed immediately.
 Do not light a match, use a flashlight, or turn any electric switches on or off if you suspect your
stove might be leaking gas

9. Stock your kitchen with a fire extinguisher in case of emergency. Keep a fire extinguisher
in in the same cabinet as well, as pouring baking soda on the flames can stop small
grease fires.a c abinet near your gas stove in case of grease fires. Store baking soda
 Never throw water on a grease fire. Grease fires flare up and may spread if they come in contact
with water.

10. Avoid placing flammable materials near your stove. Flammable items, like low-hanging
towels or curtains, can cause accidents if placed too near your stove. Keep flammable
materials away from your stove, and avoid using flammable items like cigarettes while
cooking.


TECHNICAL ASPECTS OF YOUR
STOVE

Burners: The most basic stoves have four burners. Burner size differs depending on the model.
Bigger burners can distribute heat to larger pots more quickly. Most cooktops feature a mix of
high and low heat output. Some cooktops may have an accessory that allows you to combine
burners next to each other for a larger cooking surface.

Burner Covers: Burners appear differently based on both the fuel source and stove type. Gas
burners come in sealed or open setups.  Open burners will reach maximum heat quickly, but
sealed burners keep pans closer to the flame and are easier to clean. Electric burners are sealed
under a ceramic-glass cooktop surface. It's a burner capped with a metal disk, like the cap on a
mushroom.

Accessories: Some cooktops come with interchangeable accessories for the original four
burners, such as grills, griddles, and woks.

Additional burners/cooking space: Many stoves utilize the space between the original
four burners for a variety of uses. Some have an additional burner, or a long burner to
accommodate a grate or griddle.

Controls: Kitchen stoves typically have a control panel that allows you to turn various
functions off an on, as well as adjust temperature for ovens and warming drawers.
These are typically push-button to enable precision in settings.

Door/Drawer: Each oven or warming drawer space in your kitchen stove will have a
door or drawer mechanism to open and close it. These should fit securely and evenly.

Drip Pan: Drip pans are used in conjunction with sealed burners to catch any dribbles or
overflows.

Grates: A cooktop's grates distribute and dissipate heat evenly below the pan. In the
case of a gas oven, these are made of cast iron. For electric or smooth surface gas
cooking surfaces, these are ceramic-glass. Cast iron grates may be continuous, which
allows pots and pans to be easily shifted from burner to burner, but these also dissipate
heat more slowly. A smooth surface also allows you to shift pans as needed.

Knobs: Knobs to control the burners—and sometimes the oven—are typically located


on the face of the appliance, or on its top.

Oven: Most ovens on kitchen stoves are standard size. For those kitchen stoves that
include more than one oven or an additional warming drawer, ovens may be smaller.
Oversize kitchen stoves often include a variety of oven sizes.
Oven Racks: Kitchen stoves include adjustable oven racks; these can be removed for
cleaning or for moving based on the temperature/cooking needs of your food.
