Your ready reckoner to oven maintenance is here.
What is the value of high life expectancy?
A grill and oven typically last 10 to 12 years. Like all major kitchen appliances, the more you use it, the quicker it will wear out. However, you could extend the life span of your oven and grill if you follow the routine maintenance correctly. The increased life expectancy of the oven and grill brings with it many benefits:
However, taking care of the wooden furniture isn’t only about regularly dusting it. You need to follow the below tips to make sure your wooden furniture stays prim and proper in any season for years to come.
- Lower utility costs
Equipment that is cleaned and serviced regularly will consume lesser electricity and eventually will reduce your operational cost.
- Fewer failures
Regular inspection and servicing of equipment by certified personnel reduce the chances of unanticipated equipment breakdown, thereby avoiding losses in revenue.
- Consistency in food quality
A clean oven will make sure that the quality and taste of the food being cooked is not impaired.
- Sustained efficiency
A clean oven runs at maximum efficiency, ensuring the turnaround time of food preparation doesn’t increase unnecessarily.
- Good resale value
Start-up restaurants often seek out good deals on well-maintained kitchen equipment. A clean and running oven could fetch you a good amount.
How to extend the life expectancy of your oven and grill?
Follow these recommendations.
A] Keep the stovetop and oven clean
Clean the spills using a sponge as soon as they occur. Of course, sometimes you will need to wait for the oven to cool. But make sure you don’t delay the cleaning, allowing the grease to build up. As spills and other debris accumulate, the oven tends to work harder to heat up, increasing the energy consumption in the process.
Use Sumabrite Grill and Oven Cleaner. It is a heavy-duty cleaner designed to remove heavy carbonaceous and baked-on deposits from ovens and grills optimally.
Furthermore, this surface-active agent increases the life expectancy of the oven and grill by reducing their energy consumption. All of these benefits without emitting any odour on the cleaned equipment.
Directions for use:
Step 1: Pour the cleaner into a spray bottle.
Step 2: Set the oven temperature at 60 degrees Celsius, and spray neatly. Leave for 10-30 minutes as per the level of soilage. Ensure proper ventilation to avoid fumes.
Step 3: Remove loose deposits with a scourer or brush.
Step 4: Rinse twice with water before allowing it to air dry.
BONUS TIP :
Avoid using the self-cleaning feature of the oven and grill. It tends to wear the oven out quickly, running the risk of emitting odor and fumes.
B] Clean the oven racks
You could wash the racks either in a dishwasher or manually under running water. Allow the racks to soak in hot, soapy water. Make sure you wash the racks once a quarter.
C] Clean or replace the drip pans
If your stovetop has drip pans, keep them clean in a fashion similar to the oven racks. In case of caked-on crusts, cover them with distilled white vinegar for half an hour.
Next, sprinkle baking soda on top of the vinegar and rub it into the crusts by hand. Allow them to sit for 15 minutes, then scrub. Consider replacing the drip pans if they look old and grungy.
BONUS TIP :
If you are using an electric oven, avoid wrapping the drip pans in foil. This step could lead to a short circuit of the entire heating element.
D] Check your oven door gasket
The gasket retains the heat inside the oven. It also helps keep your kitchen a little cooler when you use the oven during the summer. Replace the gasket if it appears worn, or if heat escapes from the edges of the door while the oven is on.
BONUS TIP :
Turn off the power to your oven before changing the gasket.
E] Use a surge protector
If possible, plug your oven into a surge protector. A sudden power surge could fry your oven and lead to a health hazard for your staff.

If you maintain your oven and grill properly on a routine basis, you could certainly extend its life span and save money in the long run. In this long journey of regular cleaning, choose Sumabrite Grill and Oven Cleaner as your cleaning partner.
