This week's tip is on what to do for your appliances.Check the oven and elements. Is the oven in need of cleaning? Some spills on the oven deck can cause pitting of the surface that can eventually lead to corrosion to the floor of the oven. If the oven is in need of cleaning, do so now. Before cleaning, check the oven door. Does it stop at the proper intervals? It should stop with an open position of about 2-3 inches without the door closing or completely falling open. If the door is in need of repair, call an appliance specialist. If you have a range, Remove the burner grates, reflector pans and elements. A lot of ranges have the ability to lift the cooktop portion for cleaning. Make sure you clean this area. Take a look under the range. Spills, dust and other debris can end up under the range and along the sides. If you have a gas range, do NOT move it. There is a possibility of kinking, or damaging the gas supply piping. After cleaning everything, check the lower burner of an electric oven. Then turn the oven to broil, and make sure the element is working.
